Any chance Arizona State has a Men's Hockey Coach opening that he can take with him to ASU? And quite ironic after the whole Big 12 fiasco and getting toyed with by the B12 and the 'corner four' that he ends up as the new ASU AD as they head into the B12 with Brett Yormark. Does he pull an...

You think Hurley and team are pissed now…just wait until American Airlines loses his luggage with the dragon underwear inside!

They should put $500k in an "NLI Agreement" for the winning team to use their likeness in the post event press. Then the players may stick around to actually play in the tournament instead of having all of the top players on each team sit out or enter the portal before the tournament starts and...

In the modern era, has a conference ever gone undefeated in an entire NCAA tournament (excluding games against themselves of course)? Asking for a friend. ;)

they still produce deliver more impact NBA players than any other school FIFY They aren't producing or developing any NBA players. They are a stopover for elite NBA talent. There is a big difference. And I think the Kentucky fans are at their tipping point now. My guess is that they pivot...

Purdue is going to win this game in overtime without making a single field goal.

And they wonder why Purdue suddenly struggles in the NCAAs once they get out of the B1G fixed officials? What a joke this game is. It is like watching that old Lakers vs Kings game that was a complete fix.

After last nights “Basketball Game” it got me thinking: What is the history/reason for why players foul out in Basketball? It is the only sport I can think of that forces their stars to miss the most important parts of the game (many times due to poor officiating). Imagine if Kelce was...

Hilton can't make it as the Warriors have a home game that day. Where is Marcus Williams these days?

Based on the performance of the Big East teams outside of Marquette and Creighton so far this year, Andrew Hurley may lead our team in minutes played in conference play by the end of the year. ;):D

And play against who exactly? If it gets whittled down to just a few power conferences and an independent UConn in football, we would not be able to fill a 5 game schedule—never mind a full 12 game schedule.

I'll give you that the women's loss to UNC was not a choke job, just a frustrating loss. However, I think it is fair to say the UConn loss to Florida was absolutely a choke job. No baskets for the last 10 minutes of regulation? Our All American, 75% FT shooting, lottery pick player at the...

It should be an even more impressive every 10 year streak. In 1994 UConn had a very good shot take the first dual championships, but choked in the tourney that year. For the men, that is the year that UConn collapsed against Florida in the NCAAs as we had zero made FGs in the last 10 minutes...

Not likely to happen, but Miami would be perfect. A no-nonsense team on the floor to get his on-court focus right. And Caron Butler as a mentor for him on the coaching staff. Doubt Miami would be interested, but that would be perfect for Bouk. Although on second thought, maybe the Miami...

So does this mean that we can officially blame Kevin Ollie for losing out on Flagg?! ;) Given that during Flagg's most formidable years growing up as a New England basketball kid watching D1 basketball, we were off battling for NIT bids and losing to Tulane, Tulsa, and ECU on the regular. If...

The band directors email address is now stricken out on the website.....hmmm

OC Charlton or the UCMB Director? For those not following the band fiasco: Yesterday, he had one of his band members leak on the internet that they were not going to be attending basketball and hockey games at the XL due to state spending cuts…without first consulting with AD David Benedict or anyone else...

When your best performance on offense is from your starting DT, you know your offense is historically bad!

Can’t fire him mid season. But I’d be in favor of giving someone else the play calling duties.

Probably because Fagnano looked like the second coming of Michael Vick in fall camp against our LBs and defense.

If SMU is added by the ACC as is reported, it is essentially an admission by the ACC that they are going to cease to exist in 10 years. SMU is a negative value driver on a per-team payout in any future media contract. They are only accretive now because they are not taking any money for 7...

You must be joking, right!? I assure you that the white flag is up and you are free to resume your normal life at this point.

Can everyone please all stop with this ridiculous idea and stop giving it any legs. We better not ever even consider this option.

Why? What would the purpose of that be? What would we possibly gain from moving to the Sunbelt?

Please stop with this non-sense. No chance.

What can they possibly say? Come out with another Susan Herbst "We are winners" quote? There is nothing they could possibly say that would make anyone feel any better. It just is what it is at this point.

Such a colossal fail by the Pac10 leadership. It was only a dozen years ago when the Pac10 had the largest contract in all of college sports, finished the season with 3 of the top 6 teams in football and the Pac10 actually turned down overtures from Texas and Oklahoma to join the Pac10. Fast...

This actually makes me excited if true. I can just picture a pissed off Mora and Benedict looking to kick ash and go on a revenge tour in the next couple of years. Like one of those buddy crime movies with two crazy guys who go on a crime spree cuz they have nothing left to lose. Let’s go on...

Nope. Non starter.

Completely disagree. That is like saying that 24 hours ago I was lost and drifted out to sea and barely treading water and struggling to stay alive. Now, 24 hours later I am in the same position, stuck at sea and no worse that I was 24 hours ago. But you are missing the point that during...

Based on Conference Realignment Rule #1, I was just trying to think of how things could possibly be worse for us. Heres an idea….BY convinces the B12 of the need for basketball strength and Eastern growth now that the Corner Four is finalized. So they call UConn about a basketball only...

How do you rank the Top 5 UConn Conference Expansion Failures from your personal pain scale? Mine goes : 1 : 2014 ACC expansion (Louisville) expansion 2 : 2023 B12 expansion (CO, UT, AZ, ASU) 3 : 2013 ACC expansion (Pitts, Syracuse, ND) 4 : 2005 ACC expansion (BC, Miami, VT) 5 : 2022 B12...

The four additions to the B12 have a combined winning percentage below .500 in the past 5 seasons and last year they were below .400. But yeah, it is football that drives the conference expansion bus.:rolleyes:

I was talking with a buddy who is a Missouri fan today, he feels the same way. Despite getting in the "premier SEC conference", he is growing to despise college athletics too. While they are exceling from a financial performance, they have completely killed the excitement joy of their athletic...

The most frustrating part is that if we got this B12 invite, I feel very confident that Mora was going to right the ship and we would be a consistently good program again. But I guess we will never know at this point.
