    In Today’s Game, Should there Be Automatic Qualifiers?

    Not only should there be automatic qualifiers, the field should be reduced to 64. Having an automatic qualification effectively makes the conference tournaments part of the overall NCAA tournament - the first weekend so to speak. That being said, there are effectively 362 (?) teams entered in...

    BIG EAST 2023-24 AWARDS

    Sorry! But my initial reaction is that the Big East consists of a bunch of gutless wonders. A 'First Team' should be made up of 5 players. When the rules are changed to allow 10 on the court from each team at one time, I'll accept a 10 player first team. Make a GD decision!!! Who are the 5...

    Uniforms?

    yes! PLU-EEEZE. Block that dumb C from the logo.

    2024 Football Season Ticket Renewals & New Sales:

    If you think $10-15 is too much to be out in the fresh air watching a little fall football, go to a movie. Pay to get in. Buy a box of junior mints, some popcorn, and an $8 coke. I'll buy the season tickets again this year (tho I live in South Carolina) and give them back to the university...

    Butler post game thread

    Blake Ahern - Missouri State - 94.56%. Davis was 6 for 6 tonight; including that, he's right now at 96.21%

    Updated Cumulative Stats

    Statistics are what they are. One of the most fascinating to me is foul throw percentage because it is so critical to winning games, especially games against good opponents. Last night's game is a perfect example. I was thrilled to see that Danny had our best 5 foul shooters on the court for...

    You are aware that Newton is shooting 81`% from the foul line, right?

    That helmet logo brawl again!!

    OK. One more time. The block 'C' vs the mascot. Put me up at the head of the mascot line. The C is mundane, shows a lack of creativity, and does NOT relate to UConn any more than can relate to anything beginning with the letter C. Creighton! Charlotte! Clemson! Cincinnati! Colorado...

    Chopping block

    You can’t fund the program with money that does not exist.

    OT: Creighton gets Elite Eight rings.

    Just another participation trophy. That's a completely worthless hunk of metal. No one will be wearing it in 15 years. That being said, this will open the door for all the wannabe programs to do the same. Next year it'll be Sweet 16 rings. What's toe over/under for the year the first...

    Use Block C more please - (Sorry to bring up again)

    People don't like it because it looks like a high school helmet from a school that has no one - staff or students - that have any creativity.

    That fourth quarter punt

    I guess that's why you are not a football coach.

    Prospective scheduling philosophy in the Big 12

    Cool! Prospective scheduling philosophy to go 0-12.

    Someone please explain the "summer league"

    Obviously, the purpose is greed. The owners get paid. Again and again.

    Basketball cliches you dont like (and other sports too)

    Superstar. Back in the 'olden' days, there were players and maybe a couple of 'stars' on the team. All of a sudden, EVERYBODY is a 'star' and teams have 'superstars. Also, it leads to putting people in the respective Halls of Fame who don't belong there, i.e. Phil Rizzuto, Bill Mazeroski, Joe...

    OT: Favorite Music - What Artists, Groups, Genre, Do You Love the Most??

    It's just bewildering that, throughout this thread and through 115 posts, no one has mentioned Creedence, Three Dog Night, Elton John, or Bob Segar.

    Lunardi’s too early 2024 bracketology

    Forget Boston. They have to put us in the West Regional. We win championships from the West Regional.

    Big 12

    If we accept the 'best case scenario,' by all means we should move to the Big 12 or some other 'P5" conference. However, the impression here is that we would be getting a FULL share almost immediately from the new conference. To my knowledge, that has not happened to any school that has...

    UConn v UMass 2023

    Always loved Wes Bean. In the days before soccer style kickers, he could bomb 50-52 yard FGs.

    Huskies of Honor question

    Sorry! It's got to be a very, very high bar. The Yankees are retiring so many numbers that they have very few left. The Halls of Fame should be renamed the Halls of the Very Good. That's what happens when you slap someone up there based on the emotion of the moment. Among other things...

    So You’re Telling Me There’s A Chance

    I agree with your assessment of Clingan. He's a beast. But don't get too enthusiastic about DC being a centerpiece of championship # 6 right now. He's got to learn how to play without fouling. He was in foul trouble several times after only a few minutes of game time last year. If he were...

    Tristen Newton is our point guard

    I don't understand all of the angst about Alleyne leaving. Doesn't NA mean NOT APPLICABLE?

    I had a dream last night that Uconn won it all

    BS. We aren't going to tie Puke. We are going to beat that number as well as UNC by the end of this decade or sooner.

    Miami Post Game Thread

    And to put the icing on the cake --- Revenge is a dish best served cold! We've finally gotten a little vengeance over Larranaga for that 2006 debacle. Of course it's important to me at least because my wife and son both got their degrees from George duck__n Mason.

    Another gem of a speech from Calhoun

    Jim Calhoun is a treasure. He's done it all and done it all well. He is clearly one of the Greatest of All Time. He is, without a doubt, the VERY BEST bench coach anyone has ever seen. That alone separates him from all others. He has a feel for the game that no one else has and the audacity...

    Can't believe Hurley said this but you know who he is talking about.

    Hurley has it right. Totally out of our minds. The 10 basic requirements for being on the Boneyard: 1. Fully expects the team to score 100 or more points against any and all opponents. 2. Fully expects the team to hold any and all opponents' scoring to single digits. 3. Complains bitterly...

    Well Alright Then

    So, who was it again that wanted to fire Hurley at half time with the 'Official Fire Hurley Thread?' What a doofus! As I recall, Hurley didn't miss one shot in the first half, nor throw the ball way on a fast break.

    How do you feel about conference tournaments?

    People keep wanting to water down the NCAA Tourney by continually lobbying for more teams to be eligible. 64 is a perfect number in my opinion, but now we have 68 and there are always rumors about someone pushing it to 96, then 128. The only reason to do that is so coaches don't get fired for...

    Finger pointing

    All this crap about Hurley can't get us to the next level is BS pure and simple. What level do you expect? He's already gotten us to basically the top 10 in the country by all the metrics. The next level is the NBA and - oh, by the way - there are at least 3, maybe 4 or 5 players that will be...

    OT: Any mixologists out there?

    Since Jim Calhoun is the architect of the Connecticut dynasty and placed us among the top 6 (soon to be 4) schools with natties, and since he is, of course, Irish, I think its only fitting and proper to honor the Legend with Irish whiskey. Therefore, my libation of choice is Tullamore Dew on...
