two very big reasons why us advancing helps our program immensely

[willie99]

1) it tells recruits we are still a national program, we are still UConn, and I believe we will remain NBA-U

2) it shows recruits Kevin Oliver can coach, and there's no need to be concerned about his ability to help make your dreams come true

can't wait to rock the garden

3) We get to showcase to the entirety of the collegiate sports world how big of a presence we have in NYC.

Dana O'Neill sums it up here, "the meaning for UConn can’t be undersold. This was a critical season for the Huskies and Ollie to ensure the program stays relevant.
New unproven coach, new unknown league, same UConn results."

Same UConn results.

Doesn't matter where or when, but UConn will be just fine. And yes, we are relevant.

Dana's gonna have to suck up to us a little more after retweeting the Wetzel/Jacobs garbage.

Love that quote…

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. This was a huge statement, for the program, for Ollie.

A few more so-so seasons and we could have easily faded from the minds of the media and top recruits. A Sweet 16 appearance this year shows that we're still a major player.

You would have loved 3Uconn's twitter feed last night. Everyone, from analysts, to current players (Doug McD included), to the recruiting guys, to top recruits were talking about and raving about Bazz. Great publicity. Great performance on big stage.

Please correct me. If we don't win it we should root for Ville because they are leaving and the AAC stands to collect their NCAA tourn money. The money goes to the league and cannot be taken to ACC> NO?
