For most of this year I have questioned Dan Hurley's coaching ability. I was willing to acknowledge that he could recruit but I thought that he fell short in managing the game. I guess this shows what I know. I was totally wrong and I apologize. This title run puts him up there in Jim...

Great observation. I am not knocking Nika but she may be close to setting a record for turnovers too. I love her enthusiasm and her defense but she forces the action perhaps too much. Many of her passes are low percentage and when they connect we end up with a (sometimes) spectacular shot...

The UConn men are hard to watch live. I record the games and if they win I watch the recording. If they lose, I delete. I haven't watched too many games recently. Back in the day when Jim Calhoun was the coach they often won whether they were favored or not. Currently, we are waiting to see how...

Good point. The other thing that I have noticed recently is that other teams seem to play much harder than we do and seem to want the win more that we do. In terms of talent, we do have some players but are clearly lacking at the guard position. While Hurley has clearly improved the team in...

I agree. And let's not forget that we were 5.5 point favorites in the game. Hurley never seems to win the tight competitive games. The only game I can recall that we won, was when Hurley was thrown out and one of his assistants took over. I don't want to see Dan Hurley leave either but hopefully he...

I agree. Hurley has proven that he can recruit and put together a very good team. But can he win a tough conference game on the road? Jim Calhoun had consistent success in this area. We shall see.

I remember when the refs called a technical on San Diego State when one of their players crashed into Kemba at half time. We went on to win the game and the NC. Someone observed that San Diego State was playing checkers but Kemba was playing chess.

Another close game, another loss! Anyone know our record in games like?

I agree. Gaffney has not done much all year. He hits a couple of shots and suddenly we want him starting. From what I have seen, he dribbles way too much and the offense seems to come to a halt when he is in the game.

I was really impressed with Azzi's defense. 3 steals in not many minutes.

Good post, chief. I remember the days when Khalid El Amin and Richard Hamilton would look at each other with 2 minutes to go and say it is winning time. They would then play to win and the difference was obvious. Currently we don't have anyone who understands "winning time" including our...

I think many of us are missing the point. No question that was a terrible game last night. Maybe the worse we have ever seen. But Geno, IMHO, is still the best coach in WCBB. He has done too many great things for us to judge him by one game. I think he said he couldn't fix the problem not...

The Sagarins have us at 12. Not too bad but maybe a little too high.

I think I said this before but this team reminds me so much of 2013. That year the Sox were underdogs against each team they played and yet the won relatively easily. One big difference is that they had Koji and this team doesn't. Could Whitlock be our Koji?

Well, at least he was consistent. None of the players he picked up made me feel good.
