Generally like Fanta but he had a take that he likes UConn's potential matchups in the east.
Anyonee can see that our potential matchups vs Auburn/Illinois/Iowa St are NOT good for a 1 seed (top 10 KenPom and conference tournament champs).
Our 2 best defensive players (Clingan and Castle) were non-existant most of the game due to foul trouble against a great offensive team. And we got outrebounded.
Despite that, we still won relatively comfortably because our backcourt of Cam and Tristen played amazing (combined 45 pts and 18...
In today's NIL world, it's rare to find a kid as talented and also grounded with such a mature mindset. Wise beyond his years... kudos to his parents.
Kids like Castle don't come along that often... enjoy him for the last few games he's here.
Some all-time bad and disrespectful takes on one of our own players in this thread. At least 3 so far worthy of hanging.
Some folks just don't know ball. Castle is a stud and he's going to be a top 10 pick, making millions in the league for many years, with all-star potential. Reminds me of...
Trying to read tea leaves on BE POY...
Unanimous 1st team selections were Newton, Scheierman, Kolek, and Carter.
I dont think Carter could win POY for team finishing 6th in conference.
So it's likely either Kolek, Scheierman, or Newton.
Kolek's injury may be held against him.
I think Newton...
This is my biggest concern. We're facing a physical and desperate Providence team who's going to be jacked up on their senior day.
Providence will make the game ugly, play bully ball with loads of energy just hoping the refs can't possibly call every foul.
We need to be locked in early, go...
About time Tristen starts to get the national recognition he deserves.
I cant remember a more underrated UConn PG... I don't think our own fans fully appreciate his contributions either.
Hurley should win BE COY. As others stated, we were picked to finish 3rd with no first place votes. We locked up the regular season championship with 2 games left. No other coach in the conference has exceeded expectations to that level in conference.
Hurley will not win NCOY because of where...
Dumb to even think we'd consider resting guys or take our foot off the gas.
That's not in Hurley's MO.
Also, we want to keep the 1 seed in NCAA tourney. Losing next 2 games and not winning BET could put 1 seed at risk.
Recency bias. We were #1 over Purdue and Houston a few weeks ago. All 3 teams have each lost one game since then. Only reason we fell to 3 is because we lost most recently.
Not sure a conference road game against a soon-to-be a top 15 team where UConn hasn't won since rejoining the Big East is a trap game.
It will be a tough test.
The answer is none. We don't have a rival.
Nova had a shot until Wright left. Closest option right now is Creighton. There's an opportunity for St John's down the road if Pitino can get them nationally relevant again.
It's hilarious how dead the yard is when the team is rolling.
Threads on giving the ball back to the refs NBA all-time top10, and complaining about commentators like Donny.
These are the type of monotonous threads that emerge when the team is playing well.
I guess it's better than the alternative when we lose and idiot posters trash players and/coaching.
Cam and Clingan were good tonight. Everyone else... meh. And we still won pretty comfortably.
Credit to Butler for preventing us from getting a killshot run to pull away.
Butler is a good team, I think they're underappreciated... could see them make the sweet 16 with an upset or two with the...
The fact that Steph has only played <1/3 of a season as a true freshman and the only thing the Boneyard can nitpick about his game is his AVERAGE 3pt % tells you everything you need to know about how talented this kid is and how well he's played.
Castle is really special and is improving every...
Broadcast yesterday that said he lost 10-15lbs during his time off as he worked on conditioning and diet... that's crazy to lose that muc weight mid-season, but it's paid off!
Cling Kong looks much more spry running the floor and closing out. His conditioning is improved... didn't seem winded...
Craftiest, high BBIQ guard we've had since Shabazz.
Love his tenacity and passion.
Cam coming here was a great fit for both parties. Kudos to Dan and staff.
