    BE, B10, SEC, and B12 tourney champs

    Illinois doesn’t play any D- least of our worries. Auburn & Iowa St. playing the best basketball in the country- teams to watch out for. FAU has the shot makers, experience, & have a 7 footer to possibly make a deep run once again. Not the easiest bracket- 4 top 10 teams in Kenpom which seems...

    Selection Show Thread

    Auburn 4 overall in KenPom & as 4 seed in East- will be the toughest matchup- 2 seed ain’t no walkover either- gotta beat the best to be the best.

    BE Champion vs Seton Hall post game thread

    The way this team plays on both sides is must see tv- let’s gooooo UConn!!

    Castle has entered Ricky Moore territory

    His lower body strength & leverage is Josh Hart like- add his upper body chest strength & overall size & length & that equals not only best perimeter defender in the nation but to be projected as a All-NBA defender.

    UConn -7.5

    Smoke show as I predicted- don’t underestimate the heart of a champion- Huskies!

    UConn -7.5

    I think UConn will roll- Marquette doesn’t have the same defense tenacity as last year- would expect a 12-15 point win unless the refs get in the way

    OT: Watching a game with a non-sports fan

    My wife doesn’t watch any sports ever- but my 7 year old son is all in now. Last year we had planned a trip to see my parents in North Carolina & we were driving from Long Island, New York- months leading up to the trip my wife kept badgering me to stay half way in a hotel on the drive home from...

    Purdue

    We have a tough road ahead- think we are getting way too ahead of ourselves- after the upcoming DePaul game- we have six challenging games in a row- would expect us to lose two of them- hopefully still finish with a 1 seed- that’s where our focus should be- wouldn’t be the worst thing to lose a...

    Purdue

    Would smoke them- wonderful matchup for the Huskies- have the size to somewhat neutralize Edey- & are better at every other position- dream matchup for the final for the Huskies- total smoke show.

    Chief’s Briefs - SH / Big East Refs Edition

    Unfortunately for the way that Hurley has developed this program/roster just seems now that’s there a decent amount of data as Chief mentioned the style UConn plays with is not a great fit of how these Big East Games are played & called. The physicality is insane- every time you touch the ball...

    Haven't beaten a top team

    Over the weekend I heard at least 3 basketball analysts on television thought we were the best team in the nation right now & have a great chance to repeat. Also, heard probably another handful say we are at worst top 3 in the nation. If the point of this thread is to say UConn isn’t getting...

    Haven't beaten a top team

    That’s fine- we went to the hardest place to play in the nation in where fans camped outside for multiple days to get tickets & had a 46% three point shooter take a wide open 3 to win the game that unfortunately just came up short. With that said, that statement doesn’t really matter if it is...

    “What Duke was, UConn is”

    I agree with the sentiment but don’t like that example you gave considering Kyrie & Zion were rated by ESPN number 3 & number 2 respectively coming out of HS lol- with that said as I stated first they should still get credit for one & dones.

    Bronny

    The hype is not even close to LeBron- have no idea what some of these posters are talking about. I played HS/College basketball & graduated high school the same year as LeBron & each of his high school games was an event & must see tv on ESPN. As a high school team we use to watch each of his...

    Kansas Post Game Thread

    Can’t ask for much more- wide open 3 to win from a guy shooting 50% from the three line- just short- great job UConn!

    Point Guard Ty-Laur Johnson almost refuses to play first half because lack of tights

    https://x.com/WHAS11Kent/status/1730066031639441668?s=20 When I see situations like this pop up across the country it makes me feel so happy that we have Coach Hurley. Amazing once a proud Louisville program has turned into a running joke where they are ecstatic to get a W at home verse...

    Kansas

    From my memory- Karaban last year had trouble at the rim with stronger & bigger 4’s- would get into foul trouble because they would over power him- as well on the glass. With that said, Adams does have the explosiveness to do so, but he doesn’t have the height- should be an interesting matchup.

    Any Castle news?

    From Hurley’s press conference last night it seemed if everything goes well he’d be back verse North Carolina. For the people who are stressing this- not sure why- it’s not even December yet- goal is to be at the best in February & March. UConn will fight hard verse Kansas- should be a great...

    We’re number 4 this week

    FAU is solid- watched them all holiday weekend & they beat up some pretty good teams including Texas A&M. They have about 7 or 8 deep that can play- including Jalen Gaffney- their biggest issue is obviously their size- very small in which the seven footer Goldin covers up a bit but when he’s in...

    Popovich interrupts game to scold his own fans

    Pop has lost his way- some of the antics over the last few years is absurd- retire already & go into the shadows.

    Karaban down the stretch...

    Had a couple of NBA moves/plays at the end of the game. Just a wonderful player, a player in where if you are a coach of the team you love because he has no weaknesses & is never a negative on the court in any aspect. He’s always in the right position, making the right play, taking the right...

    UConn's Ball Movement is Outstanding!

    I didn’t think of this last night when watching, but this morning I came to a realization & conclusion the last two days were more examples of how non-conference opponents do not know how to slow down & stop UConn’s offensive action, which continues to put UConn in a great position to win each...

    UCONN -5.5

    I think we roll by 15- watched Texas last night- was not impressed in the least- pretty ordinary to be honest. They will have a lot of trouble with our offensive motion & shooting amongst some other items like our length & size.

    OT: Who looks like the best team in hoops now?

    I am guessing you are joking & it’s sarcasm? To say if Cam didn’t have a career night, UConn would have probably lost against MVSU is absolutely absurd. The game was never in doubt or in question or even close. Also, UConn doesn’t need to avoid any team, they have as much talent & team chemistry...

    Ngongba Visiting October 13th (First Night)

    Never thought we were the favorites for either- always thought we were the underdogs at every moment in time. Hurley & staff will be perfectly fine- don’t really understand all the hysteria & concern about the roster- I understand being let down & upset about not getting either but to be...

    Where do we go from here?

    Think we will be pleasantly surprised on how good Youssouf Singare is & how much he will develop over time- great kid with a great motor. Not concerned at all- never thought Flagg or Patrick were coming- was hoping obviously but always knew we were the underdogs in the situations. Also, more...

    Where do we go from here?

    Not concerned at all, in Hurley I trust.

    Gotcha, thanks for the clarity.

    Best College Coaches?

    I don’t hate Bill Self, I don’t hate any college coaches, hard to hate someone I never met, but I guess your point is some people on this board hate him & it blinds their analysis? I believe he has a very strong offensive system & he does very well in developing bigs- especially for the college...

    Thanks for sending, but unfortunately I cannot read it…..appreciate it though.

    Best College Coaches?

    We can go on & on about the stats, wins, bad losses, etc. I just don’t think Self is a great in game coach, great program builder/coach yes, but when I am choosing the best coach in the nation I am not going to pick a coach who I don’t think is a top 10 in game coach in the nation. Also, his...

    Ricky Moore news

    Ricky Moore is an important pillar in the foundation of the Huskies, program, & the 5 championships that have been accomplished in less than 25 years. There is a dozen+ of inidividuals that help form this powerhouse & Ricky Moore is on that list- a true champion in every way!
