Wow, those two RIP and RAY pictures are fantastic. Just a random couple of GOAT UConn wings grinning ear to ear! Ray got 2 in the NBA and RIP 1 - 2 chips each just like this year's returning players!!

Maybe, also possible that if there is no Steph Castle, Solo continues along a learning curve and by the end of the conference regular season Solo would've rounded into shape. Instead he missed game development time right as it got a lot harder and regressed a little bit. He can shoot, he's...

That's a nice one, can't think of a better on the court moment to depict. Combines Husky greatness with opponent in shambles.

At a certain point during the season and after getting consistent minutes, Stewie's defense jumped ahead of his offense - THAT was a great sign. This allowed him to contribute without feeling he needed to score and then ironically scoring became easier. If he keeps up with that Steph Castle like...

Went with my teenage boys to bus loading at capital and it was great. Each got a t-shirt thrown from the players (one caught from QB Cam Spencer on a ‘go’ pattern!) and then threw them back up getting autographs from Coach, Clingan, Castle and others. At one point Newton accidentally threw a...

UConn is so good we've rendered the silly concept of blue bloods irrelevant especially if it doesn't include the Huskies. The term blue blood comes from stodgy aging out of existence inbred nobility. Yet by dubbing someone blue blood in college hoops it was agreed that from some random point in...

Congrats DC, can't wait to watch what's next and root for him to continue to grow and dominate in the NBA!

Your point was as a whole, BIGS see their draft stock decline as they get older. I point out an example where it doesn't and you dismiss it b/c it is not the exact player we are discussing. Then you change the playing field and bring 2 or 3 completely different players into the discussion. And...

The Duncan example is much better (at least I didn't use Ralph Samson ;) than your straw man Sanogo example WHO DID STAY 3 YEARS AND IMPROVED HIS POSITION. The Edey point was about someone's [oh wait that was HowSway - lol] analysis of centers and older players staying in school, not a player...

Possible that Cam denied it anticipating a subsequent exchange likely goes like this; CAM - "yes coach you shoved me" Hurley - "you think THAT was a shove?! I'll show you a SHOVE!" Happily cooler heads prevailed and we aren't dealing with the above Bob Knight II scenario :o

Short-sighted analysis when you literally have Zach Edey sitting right in front improving his position by coming back. From the Deacon part of my handle was around when Tim Duncan defied the odds twice and spent 3 years in college. Pretty sure it turned out ok. Clingan had two great options to...

With UConn up 16, Edey actually had 17pts from 9:27 remaining (UConn 56-40) to 0:00, given Huskies were matching 30 seconds of possession and 2-3 pts on other end, these buckets were close to meaningless. Many were conceded by Clingan to avoid fouling (Karaban wasn't conceding nothing even...

Agree not sure why certain centers are exempt and others named Donovan Clingan are the opposite and called for many ticky-tack fouls whether against bigs or smalls.

Hurley can simply copy the Bulls first three-peat. Hassan can go play baseball for 2 years after the mission is accomplished, then come back and coach next 3.

Hassan missed what feels like less than 5 layups the entire season, he was money $$ if he got to the rim. And somehow he is BETTER defensively than offensively. Love that kid!

UConn has more titles in the last 25 years than Dook & UNC COMBINED, as Danny said; "UCONN RUNS college basketball"

The more I think about it, the more I think our length at guard and pressuring the ball - making the entry pass REALLY difficult for their guards is the biggest key. Don't give their guards an inch of space for passing inside of 30' and make them work super hard to get the ball inside. Use...

Yep, the coaches are certainly going over this again and again with Clingan, Edey is the more experienced player and will try to bait CD into fouls. I do think the recent trend of Clingan not fouling is excellent (perfect timing) and encouraging! As the coaches stress this to DC, they also are...

Realistically Clingan isn’t playing 30, we need 23-28 quality minutes. DC’s weakness if fouling & Eden’s strength is drawing fouls. Clingan is going to have to deal with that AND UConn’s plan B is absolutely vital. Unfortunately it is Something near even money that Huskies have to play half the...

Feel like Samson has to front Edey as he’s giving up 60lbs+. When they throw over SJ The weak side help has to get there before the ball is caught or it’s good night.

Yep, we saw NC State get under him & bother Edey a little bit, but DJ was the one who ran out of gas in that matchup as the less athletic guy. For two years now UConn has been wearing out other teams by bringing just as fast and good players off the bench. Samson isn't Clingan on strength, but...

Lyman!!

Do we think that’s what Castle chirped after he dunked on him?! First time I’ve seen Castle talk after a play, meaningful!

When do they play again? Is Abraham projected as a SG or SF?

Missed oppty for Clingan to say on his way out; "Coach can be the lifeguard, I'll guard the RIM!"

Hooligans was the best UConn bar from 86-87 when I graduated. I am thankful for the miracle that me and other fellow students made it back to campus and carriage house from there. I remember watching the infamous BU - UConn game there, where Mike Jarvis made the Huskies play after a bus accident...

He is very much that and doesn't think so much as says things that he believes will keep him cashing checks for being on TV.

Was a PG at NYU and tried out for the Knicks way back when! Definitely his AA winning role as Sgt Foley stands out; "I'll never forget you Sergeant"

He is a star right now. Virtually anyone he guards is shut down. No single defender can stop him and if he has a mismatch he abuses the smaller, less strong, less skilled player. Every game over the past month there has been a moment where I'm yelling onto the court or at the TV that they...

Why would it matter then and why would you whine about it and continue to defend your whining? Just admit you were wrong, over-estimated teams you hadn't seen play. I doubt you'll even answer if you had you seen multiple games of any from the alleged group of death (Auburn, Illini, SDST, ISt)...

This was an in season take, obviously Stew has taken Ball’s minutes for defense @ offense reasons and Cam’s defense has greatly improved and his offensive role vital.

There are more than a few teams zagging on this and taking older players on the theory they can contribute right away.

Not sure can you test me? You predicted Creighton would lose with 80% certain and you were wrong!

Didn’t You predict Creighton would lose because of the hero shot by Trey? Obviously Cousinard was a hero then ran out of gas, but what a game by him & they’re big. Set a record with like 25 successful pick & rolls before McDermott finally figured it out and blitzed it - that combined with...

Yep, that was the game. Shot one free throw to that point and by the worst guy possible
