    The refs

    Those boys were battling all night, and the refs pretty much let them go, so I can see why they didn't call a foul on Edey. And, FWIW, goaltending is on the defensive end. This should have been basket interference on Edey.

    The refs

    Refs were not a factor in the game last night, and I thought they did a very good job in a game with a high level of physicality and speed. The warning on Hurley for being out of the coaching box is a great example of preventative officiating. Sure, he could've T'd Hurley up, but instead...

    The refs

    Ball was absolutely still on the rim and should have been waved off. It was obvious, even in real time. Was anyone else ticked off at TBS for the replays they did not show? They never showed a replay of this tip in. There were a few questionable fouls on players for both teams and they...

    UConn - Iowa Postgame Thread

    The officiating in the NCAA Women's tournament leaves a lot to be desired. Remember last year's championship game crew? The horrible technical foul on Clark? Even the NCAA said the officiating in that game was below standards. A year later, and we have the debacle we had tonight. Certainly...

    Northwestern Post Game Thread

    Agreed. Went to Friday's games. Was not wowed by Barclays. Had seats in the 200's. The concourse up there is narrow! Main concourse wasn't much better with the way they have the queues for concessions. Plus the signage was terrible. Wasn't obvious how to get downstairs. Went through one...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    With nothing imminent from Sarah, is Geno still interested in Kaitlyn Chen of Princeton? There was alot of buzz about UConn being interested when she went in the portal.

    XL Center reno costs skyrocket

    This story is from 2015: "After a three-month study, consultants came forward with two ideas for more long term plans. They told the Capital Region Development Authority board members just how outdated the XL Center really is and how recent upgrades only amount to a five-year "band-aid" at...

    XL Center reno costs skyrocket

    Maybe that state needs to re-evaluate the worth of the CRDA and Mr. Freimuth. From today's Hartford Courant: "A major renovation of Hartford’s XL Center would cost tens of millions of dollars more than an estimate of $107 million, throwing into uncertainty a long-debated makeover of the...

    Is Tim Brando ok?

    Spot on. Brando is 68 and has lost some mph off of his fastball. Happens to all the greats as noted, with the exception of Vin Scully, but baseball is much easier to call than basketball.

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    Interesting timing. Many on here wanted him gone, but Mora seemingly stuck by him, and now he ups for the NFL right before spring practice. I'm personally happy we'll have some new blood on O. Wonder if his leaving will have any effect on our recent recruits/commits?

    OT: Jay Young Out At Fairfield

    Could Latina be on the hot seat at Sacred Heart? They were picked to win the conference this year and underwhelmed. They finished third and got bounced in the first round of the NEC Tournament. In the 11 years he's been head coach they've never won the regular season and have never made it to...

    Brando and Donny (merged [twice])

    You do realize that Joe D. hasn't been UConn's pxp announcer for 6 years now? Plus, the local radio/tv broadcasters are not employed by UConn, but are employed by the radio/tv station, and approved by the university. Mike and Wayne are employed by iHeart and Alan and Meghan are employed by SNY.

    Paige coming back!! Aubrey too!! (Merged)

    Bob and Debbie made a good point on the radio broadcast. Aaliyah and Nika are here on F-1 student visas (Canada and Croatia) and as such do not have the NIL opportunities that American students do. That will most likely play a big role in their decisions whether to return or to go pro.

    2024 CT Ice Tournament -> Jan. 26-27 @XL Center (Championship Gm: UConn v. #7 Quinnipiac > Saturday @7p on SNY & UConn+)

    Agree 100%! I was lucky enough to be in the first row and this play was right in front of me. When Wood skated away and Treloar scored the goal, I said to my son, "Wood should have stapled him to the boards." When I saw that Haider was starting I said, "Shocked they're not going with Sergeev...

    ROKU, to see every game.

    People who have SNY as part of their cable package or as part of their streaming service are paying for SNY content. The cable companies and the streaming services pay SNY to carry them, and then they pass that cost onto the consumer (i.e. see Sports & Entertainment fees on your Comcast cable...

    Huskies Tavern opening a Downtown Hartford location (@103 Pratt St)

    Spent many a Saturday night at Civic Pub with their green plastic mugs! The dance bar on the second floor was called North Shore. After North Shore and before Pig's Eye Pub, it was Huskies for a while.

    Was Florida State Screwed by the Committee?

    That was Dave Portnoy who said "what an idiot." He is the founder of Barstool Sports. He is not a professional announcer or analyst, but is a multi-millionaire who basically says what he wants when he wants and doesn't really give a F. What he said is on brand with the Barstool culture...

    Syracuse, the new Beast in the East!

    Just before the half last night a USF player had a scoop and score off of a Syracuse fumble and he did a somersault into the end zone from the 1 yard line - no penalty. Victor Rosa did the exact same somersault in the NC State game on opening night and got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct...

    UConn Outbound Transfers for 8/1/23>7/31/24 Cycle

    Although nothing should surprise us about college football anymore, a little surprised at McFadden. Clearly, he was not the same after the ACL injury, yet the staff stuck with him this season. Ruelas goes in the portal, leaving McFadden as the only kicker on the roster, meaning he certainly...
