That was hysterical!

I loved the acknowledgment "you made a lot of mistakes..." in a generally positive statement.

No doubt, but those off-season polls... always make me think of that.

Lol. There have been times I have kind of low-key felt like @Jaydumo20 was a bot that Tom used to generate traffic during the off-season.

In the first game, KK showed what she can do when she is left wide open. What we saw in last night's game was that the opponents scout has adjusted to KK as a scoring threat and she in turn has adjusted to that by looking to distribute instead of looking to score. That's the mark of a mature...

Exactly! Well, except that the administration had nothing to do with it since the television deal is negotiated by the Big East. But other than that, spot on!

And go where, exactly, given that no P4 conference has chosen to invite us?

You're welcome?

Interesting. Will look for this on the replay.

Lol, and yet fans of every team everywhere always do. In this case, at least for me, I'm just arguing that the calls were inconsistent. That's indisputably true.

It's not only the total number of fouls, it's also how and when they were called and on whom. One of my big pet peeves is when refs call nothing in the first half and then everything in the second half. It messes up the flow of the game. It matters less to me how the game is called than that...

Definitely want to do a rewatch to see exactly what happened. Curious to hear @Hey Adrien! and @husky429's take among others.

Ah got it. I liked having both threads, because the post game thread usually was more hot, takes and the chief's briefs thread tend to be more analytical, X's and O's, etc. But it's all good, I'll adapt. Thanks for letting me know. This morning I was thinking "how did I miss that thread?"

Remember that we had a 10 game deal to do just that that, effectively, got vetoed by the state legislature. I often wonder whether our fortunes would've changed if that deal had gone through. The exposure would've been great for us, and having an ongoing relationship with ND might have been...

And another one was back, but not completely healthy.

It was a close game. I give them credit for not quitting and playing for the full 40 minutes. They came close to stealing a win.

In some ways, last night to win was the best possible result for us. The team learned that you can never take your foot off the gas against other top teams. And you definitely can't let players like Dybantsa get comfortable. It seems like there was a moment in the second half when Stewart fell...

Go back and take a look at the timing of those fouls Tom. At one point they had like three and we're already in the bonus. Later on the refs started to call equalizing fouls

A lot of tape for the coaches to work with. For now, I will just be happy with the win over a top 10 opponent

FIFY Of course, Boston college has zero incentive to merge with anyone since they get P4 money for a DIII product.

Sort of off topic, but this just felt right to post here: What a complete victory.

Either way works, right?

For every "wacky" thing Dan Hurley says or does, you get these types of quotes to offset them. It is really brilliant branding to say "at UConn, we recruit families." It goes to the character component that Hurley so often talks about. It also is a low-key stroke of the parents by essentially...

Part of that for me was the fact that he was a surprise. I expected him to be a decent player for us, but I had no idea he would be like throwing a hand grenade at the other team. I don't think I've ever seen another Husky be quite that consistently intense and angry on every single play no...

When Coach K talked about it talked about it, he specifically mentioned acquiring the Midwestern schools. Not that he has any specific insight or insider information.

By that thought process, UMass should be rebranding to a name that doesn't include Massachusetts. 😁

Sort of. The old Queen's College had financial difficulties and was open and shut down a few times. I believe that there's at least a few years between the last time it closed and when it was re-purchased and became Rutgers College. It's actually more accurately remembered as a purchase by...

Interesting development. I suspect it is a marriage of convenience in part due to the need to compensate for YouTube TVs loss of ESPN channels. At least in the near term, it's irrelevant to those of us who have Hulu live.

It's like you don't know us at all.

I think you are thinking of: Zanetto!

"Olivia signs"

Uhhh, it kind of does feel right. That said, a successful UMass athletic program is actually good for us, in my opinion. Then again, if we had a money tree on campus that paid for all our athletics, that would also be good for us. The problem is that both of those things are pretty unlikely.

Because no media partner has agreed to pay for that. In the end, it really is that simple.
