So, this is cool. According to the 2022-23 NCAA Record Book, the most individual players to make a 3 pointer in a game is 9 (by Dartmouth, of all schools, in 1993). That means our Xavier game in Jan 2024 set a new NCAA D1 record with 10 different players to make a 3!

Not even close, actually! As one might expect, our record for most players making a 3 pointer happened during the 23-24 season, because our walk-ons got so much playing time. It was the Xavier blowout, when 10 players made a 3. If this isn't an NCAA record, it's gotta be damn close. Box score...

It really is remarkable how far SI has fallen. This "analyst" - he does appear to be a real person, who is on Twitter at https://x.com/ByTommyWild where he has only 250 followers, mostly covers the Cleveland Guardians. Somehow in his spare time he's "authored" 20+ articles on SI about UConn...

I get the logic obviously, but I honestly think the committee doesn't take the conference tourney results very seriously. More than anything else, making the final and winning the dang thing moves the needle. I guess the gamble of a getting a high quality win over Creighton outweighs the...

Kevin Sweeney at Sports Illustrated has a very enjoyable end-of-year article about the "Husky" we unleashed against Illinois. Article: Looking Back on the Demoralizing 30-0 Run That Cemented UConn’s 2024 NCAA Title

True but very few coaches are going to actually go to 15. For a few reasons. First, it means there's more mouths to feed ($$$). At least 4-5 of those kids (and maybe more) will see little to no significant playing time, which means higher turnover and staff having to spend time and energy...

Well no one forced him to do a daily podcast that requires constantly talking about everything no matter how insignificant it is. There's just not enough content, especially during the offseason. Encourages foolish speculation

"Travis Knight is ON FIRE!!!"

Yea this is what I keep coming back to with Samson. Doesn't matter how much certain skills improve or weight is added if he is as prone to foul trouble as he has been. The minutes issue is going to work itself out more often than not due to this factor alone, I suspect.

Just FYI, I believe this mock draft is based on a particular potential draft order (notice Spurs pick first, even though that hasn't been determined yet). I think the idea is to generate lots of content by "shuffling" the draft order every so often and making new mock drafts accordingly. So it's...

Random stat observation I found just now: Steve Kerr shot 57.3% from 3 his final year in college (the first year the NCAA introduced the 3 point shot). That's absolutely unreal.

Quite literally, yes.

I've watched quite a bit of Nova, while no one is truly as bad as their worst game, they are deeply unimpressive. Going 0-3 against other Big 5 teams is embarrassing. Maybe they'll turn it around and snag some huge wins in conference but I can definitely see them falling off entirely. They have...

OP is certainly welcome to share his own thoughts, but I believe everyone deserves to be empowered with a democratic say in all avenues of life. Certainly in the workplace, but also in government and in civil society as well. When union participation was much higher in the post-WWII era, wages...

I think we went 1-2 against them last year, no? We blew them off the court when we hosted them if I recall correctly. Still, I very much want to sweep or take the season series against them this coming season
