Jay Bilas, Grant Hill and now JJ Redick in the media have taught me I can appreciate former Dukies. Spanarkel growing on me. J. Williams growing on me like shingles. It's a tough road of tobacco to wend through, though.

Welcome to the ESPN Gampel Pavilion! :p

I love Stewart's game but freshman Caron Butler comp is more appropriate for Stephon Castle (with a little Jimmy Butler thrown in.) If sophomore Stewart becomes sophomore Caron, that will be something we'll be celebrating in San Antonio.

What gets you excited? Strength. Spring. Shot (in progress). Wiggle/post-up/short game (exists and can't wait to see it flourish). Breakout around BE time.

Knowing Hurley, he'll tell Hass what he has to improve upon over the summer in order to start. Work, work, work on your shot. Become a director out there. Watch video of Newton, Napier and Spencer. See how they see the court. Pre-portal or late HS commit, the guard position bothers me a bit...

Jumble of emotions. The one that rises up is pride. Thanks, Donovan, for staying true to yourself during the journey and helping to cement Storrs as the basketball capital of the world.

Bumping as I was thinking same. This is vital and inspiring. Take the 4 minutes to watch something that will deeply resonate. What our staff has done is spectacular on so many levels. I am floored by them and moved to depths of fan love that astonishes me, someone who like most here have...

Parents and people that truly are close to him should be outlining the positives and negatives of what staying/going means. He's been through enough in life to ultimately make a clear-headed decision he feels is best for him. Folks here telling him what to do is a bad look, sorry.

In Phoenix for 6:20 pm scheduled tip-off. [Mojo filter off] After the game we'll bus back to our hotel, arriving around 10-10:30. The team and trophy will arrive close to a mile away at the team's hotel probably around 11-11:30. It will be hard to avoid this. Usually a couple hundred fans...

I'm sure DB felt he had a good chance to take us to a power conference when he took the job. Sadly, as football is everything and our program is next to nothing, we are going nowhere. If he leaves for any job, explain to me why a superior candidate would take this job just to ride the two...

This is the best team of the century.

Incredible night. Chuck also served up a few.

Random thoughts. Marquette missed their general on the court. Kolek doesn't have to score, just direct and facilitate. They are a for real #2 if he can. PC, StJ, SH all would beat UVA and Izzo U 8/10 times. No respect! Our path is fine. Who here cares about raising Sweet 16 or even Final 4...

We've talked about our scoring depth - any starter can go off for 20 on a given night. But last night? Stewart + Diarra (18) outscore Karaban + Spencer + Castle (16). We're in pretty, pretty good shape.

Newton declaring to return was the happiest day of my off-season.

Still love Gus but his best days are behind him. He's taken his success and morphed into a schticker a la Dukie V. Shame. Jackson has really grown into a fine analyst. Would never have believed that.

What's your strategy, Kim? Get under the skin of a team of Champions by shoving, elbowing and bumping during dead balls? Congratulations on the embarrassing loss. You clearly have a good idea of what it's like to have dead balls.

Re: Cam's T, as Hurley intimated in the huddle, on the road use your fire to get your teammates burnin', not the crowd or opponent. Alex just a savant out there, what a performance! DC a monster. Ighodaro has a nice touch on that fadeaway. Props to him the way he brought it to DC (those are...

I'll give you that. Exciting even happens in Little League.

It is absolutely true. The women's game is practically a different sport bringing its own attraction. Caitlin Clark is an elite player there. Andrew Hurley is faster, can dunk the ball, would shoot over and run past Clark easily and make her take all 35 foot threes. She can't make 'em all...

The very notion reeks of weakness. The presumption is the players have become complacent. If a coach can't see that and correct it before a loss happens, he's the one that should be lost.

Down goes Purdue!!! 73-69!!!

A couple of quick 3s today were almost comedic but his decision making has really improved and he is dimin'.

Anybody in your life ever have issues big enough where they needed help or support? Did you tell them it's not your job to help them or is there just a limit to your sympathy because it's not your job? Vain and envious people like you who put themselves above we mortals thrive in their own...

I'm just behind those guys (FineFettle gear). It is a great spot to promote your business and I know they pay for the privilege, lol. I get on tv sometimes depending on the camera angle.

Donny is so polarizing for UConn fans. He clearly has to watch out for homerizing, that's just professional. I do agree he's more suited to a studio role but understand why UConn fans expect more from him during games. I have never met the man but I do sit directly behind the announcers at GP...

I'd add Samson Johnson shooting .754 on twos as somewhat surprising. School FG% record is Chuck Alexsinas at .631 which was all twos before the 3pt era back in 1980-81. Leaders-wise, according to sports-reference.com, in the NCAA the minimum # of makes per game to qualify for FG% is 5 (and...

Some great posts, here. I'll take the question as can 24 win the whole thing and if so would they beat 23 as a team? Easier than imagining Karaban, Clingan and Newton guarding themselves. +1: 24. Holdovers are even better now. +1: 23. Dependability with Sanogo, Hawkins spotlighted so...

Surely agree Diarra has phenomenally improved this season. Gwynn was really that microwave a la the originally nicknamed Vinnie Johnson. John raised the crowd like none before him, scored in double figures and made first team all Big East Tournament as junior, never starting a single game. I...

No?

Unoffically, I surmise 12 BYers for playing him, 12 for waiting and 13 for hanging it on the team doctor. No one suggests he listen to his dad? NIL advisors don't have a voice? ;)

That was a wildly entertaining game. UConn came out quicker and took fast advantage. Goaltending was formidable. Once Maine found their feet their talent and finally depth took over. Refs not perfect but not the reason we lost. We made a mistake in rebound coverage on one goal and lost the...

6/5/4 in 16 minutes. He continues to impress - and make layups!
