I grew up in Coventry, CT. I remember my dad taking me to see Gampel Pavilion right after it was built but before it opened. I remember crying when Christian Leattner hit that shot against us in the Elite 8. I was fan ever since then. I was on campus for the 99 title and the 04 title because...

Just tell me how big of a check I need to write

You can take someone out of Jersey, but you can never take the Jersey out of them

Uhhh what is this measuring?

And if you happen to suffer a horrific injury your senior year, thanks for playing, you get nothing but a worthless college degree you probably learned nothing from, but at least ESPN got paid. Exploitation isn't about how well you're treated. It's about having your labor used to make the rich...

Pretty effective protest, if you ask me. They created a completely unwatchable product because they got screwed out of a chance to compete for a championship. The NCAA doesn't even pay em so why should these kids put their livelihoods on the line? To keep ratings up for the Capital One Orange...

I think the thing I appreciate the most about Newton is the leadership he brings to the team. He's such a calm, collected player. You can see him joking around with the refs when he doesn't get a call instead of getting angry. He knows to settle the rest of the team down when things are getting...

I'm probably in the minority here, but I found the whole discussion of the Rolls Royce thing hilarious, especially while the game was going on. Just ridiculous. I like when things are sometimes ridiculous.

Uh given the last ten years I'd kill for mediocrity

lmao at thinking this is an unpopular opinion, half of UConn fans blame the football team for the Big East breaking up which is just about the dumbest thing I ever heard but anyway it probably doesn't help that a huge part of the fan base actually resents the football team

lol there is no P5 the Pac 12 is literally gone And the ACC is the 4th best in the P4 with FSU, Clemson, and UNC out the door as quickly as they can the ACC is going to be closer to the AAC than the B1G soon enough Good on the AAC teams who got into the B12 but I don't think any of them are...

I thought attendance was decent in person. Not 36K. But maybe 30K? High 20's? Students were pretty great for most of the game

There should be a rule that there can only be X number of consecutive comments without a relevant tweet

I think those numbers from Prime are way inflated by just overall Prime subscriptions. I suspect quite a few of those 205 million people are mostly in it for two-day free shipping on anything. I am sure a lot of them also use Prime Video, but 205 million? I doubt it.

ZT should stay here, there is a non-trivial chance for a 3rd string QB to eventually start several games at UConn. I'm not rooting for it, but I am not sure I can remember a season where we started and ended the season with the same QB.

I'm sure B1G would take FSU but there's simply no way (as far as we know) to break the GOR so FSU is worthless until then.

The nice thing about being Charlie Brown is acceptance. Lucy provides no hope. The football is nothing but a void. We will still run towards the ball, failure all but inevitable. There is no longer any belief that Lucy can change. Nothing changes. We rear up, swinging our foot. The ball eludes...

This is my understanding on the Calhoun/KO situation 1. KO wins a title almost immediately, which, even given Calhoun's recruits, is insane. He becomes a huge threat to leave and the university has to overpay to keep him for fear of him jumping to the NBA 2. KO starts to enjoy fame, maybe a...

Love this, in for 1

Sorry we're so good at basketball that we ruined the excitement for you.

That's what makes elite teams, teams that actually have elite offense and defense. Of course, the other two "metric elite" teams -- Houston and Alabama -- did not advance, so anything can happen obviously.

I'm curious to see what the nerds say, but SDSU will be the best defense we've played in the tournament after back-to-back teams with great offenses but only okay defenses. Will be a stylistic change, closer to St. Mary's than Gonazaga.

At no point in my life did I think we'd be receiving UConn medical updates from Bill Murray

I believe you mean to say tournament, not season Sorry to be such a nerd

Love that he talks about winning as a team. "When you have Kemba Walker playing for you... " He's so right. You can do your best but at the end of the day its about the kids on the court.

I am quite anxious about tonight and obviously would love to destroy Gonzaga. But rationally, I don't think I could be THAT upset if we lost at this point. I came into this season saying Hurley NEEDS to win an NCAA tournament game. And that pressure was unbelievable. I know he felt it. I felt...

Miami looks scary

I'll be at Trinity Bar in New Haven. I know they will have the sound on and no band. It will likely be pretty nuts.

Idk anything about defensive rating but that sounds like the same stratosphere?

berth my guy

Gonzaga it is. Probably better for us re: home crowd

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha

this is insane
