    Roumoglou Enters the Portal (Merged)

    I think he can do better. Maybe A10, American, MVC, Horizon level.

    Favorite play of the season?

    Favorite regular season play -- Castle's behind the back crossover and dunk against Seton Hall.

    Favorite play of the season?

    The Clingan block/dunk sequence during the 30-0 run vs. Illinois.

    Nice to know you wouldn't have taken Spencer. Three teams in three years . . .

    UCONN Doesn’t Have a Plane to Get to Phoenix (Merged Thread)

    The Real narrative: we are the matchup problem

    We're blowing teams out and aren't playing well. If we have a B/B- game and a good opponent is on fire Creighton style, we can lose.

    Boston Saturday Roll Call

    Balcony 311 with the full family, even the 13 year old daughter who doesn't normally care.

    Realistic crowd split for Saturday?

    It will be probably 2/3 UConn. 80/20 is aggressive. IL has an enormous alumni base that travels and is spread all around the country.

    Realistic crowd split for Saturday?

    $250 each isn't outrageous.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Yeah, guys who average double digits as sophomores on a team with a generational ball dominant point guard can't be labeled "busts". That was just a dumb comment.

    MNT's 2024

    We needed an own goal and Jamaica whiffing Wondo style on an open net to get to extra time. We essentially lost the match. GGG should be out now.

    Where is our commissioner?

    43-36 with 4 minutes to go. Yep, definitely better than SJU or Seton Hall.

    Where is our commissioner?

    Watching CSU and thinking about how freescooter thinks that SJU is bad . . .

    Where is our commissioner?

    True to some extent, but that's when you make the point that caving to threats like that endangers the integrity of the tournament and the committee itself. Yes, when you are in the weaker position you have to make noise.

    Where is our commissioner?

    Saying "St. John's was not a good team" just ignores the objective awfulness of the teams that got in ahead of them. Pay attention to the rest of college basketball if you're going to throw your opinion out there.

    I’ll go there

    The '99 team ran the best half court offense that we've seen until the last two years, but it was definitely centered around getting shots for two or three guys. They were better on the break than this team. Freeman didn't score over 12 per game that season just on garbage man put-backs. He...

    Juwan Howard Out at Michigan

    It's as if hiring rich alumni to coach your team is a bad idea . . .

    “Storrs Central”

    To the extent that this implies that UConn Twitter is neither drunk nor impulsive, I disagree. :)

    Serious shaka love to uconn

    Not even in the same universe. Ollie probably did it more than Jim.

    Kadari Injury

    I was more amused by Moore drawing a foul by elbowing Addae Wusu in the ball bag.

    Play GM- Luka or Tatum

    Three years ago I'd have said Luca without hesitation. It's a much closer question now, and not because Luka isn't the better individual player. His ball-stopping tendencies are limiting the Mavs' potential.

    OT. Crypto

    Still holding STX purchased in their initial offering at $.12/token, and a little bit of BTC that was purchased in 2017 at around $4,500. Sold enough of both to lock in a tidy profit and am just holding the rest.

    It's a foul that literally happens on just about every screen ever.

    Creighton Post Game Thread

    We get a lot of our 3 attempts off of screening action. We're not great at kicking to the perimeter off of penetration, and Creighton played us well to expose that weakness.

    Us vs the field

    Got it. I need to work on reading comprehension, apparently.

    Us vs the field

    Not so sure about this. The '06 team, while supremely talented, always had the feeling of being fatally flawed. The lack of quickness and ball handling on the perimeter was always apparent, but it didn't often matter because we just buried teams inside.

    Us vs the field

    The tournament is always a crap shoot. Take the field every time.

    Cruises and your experience

    Horseshoe is beautiful, and it being November it probably won't be as crowded. There are other great beaches with public access if Horseshoe is mobbed.

    Cruises and your experience

    We're not really cruise people, but we did a Med cruise in 2019 on Norwegian. That was OK, as it was a bunch of destinations that we wouldn't have otherwise visited or would be difficult to get to. Don't bother with the excursions. Use Viator, or just have a local cab driver take you...

    Providence Post Game Thread.

    Every single one of Oduro's fouls were fouls. They missed a foul on us on (I think) Carter's drive in the first half that would have negated one of them. The same cannot be said of Clingan. His second was a laughable call.
