    Better Home Court?

    Mich St. is the best and most raucous game I personally saw at Gampel. Still, I went and saw a few games at the old Cole Fieldhouse when Maryland was good in that same timeframe, and it was a night and day difference between the two places. Those games at Cole were what I always envisioned a...

    Villanova Post Game Thread

    Bench was huge - Ross especially changed the whole vibe with his defense and Stew broke it open with those 3’s. I still think we do not use Tarris enough. He dominates when he gets the ball in the post and makes a quick move. We spend so much time with him as a high screener or hand off guy...

    Either Stewart or Ross needs to start

    When? Against Bryant? The only impact I can remember is the single worst free throw attempt in UConn basketball history. This board is literally insane. Might as well start Millender, too. I think he hit a three against New Haven. Secret weapon stuff like Singare was last year .

    Death Storm 2.0

    I feel like all bets are off in a big snow sitch. This isn’t mowing the lawn or leaf blowing too early.

    Chief’s Brief - Creighton Edition

    That was three months ago… did it ever happen? Why would Hurley say Furphy would play last year? Or to look out for Richie Springs? Or that we would up the athleticism this last offseason? Why would JC say that Justin Brown could be the starting 5 for nine straight years? Coaches are always...

    Chief’s Brief - Creighton Edition

    It works with the right players. Guys with mobility, perimeter skills, or high IQ. So far in this thread we’ve either implied or name dropped Wolf (1st rd pick), Boozer (soon to be lottery pick), Morez Johnson (mock #26), Koa Peat (mock #13), and Alex Condon (mock #42). Reibe is going to be a...

    Chief’s Brief - Creighton Edition

    Chief… I’m fully aware our current defensive philosophy is not working hence why I proposed “solutions.” But doing double bigs wouldn’t work either. Why not just start Koroma then and bench AK? More athleticism. It’s just as dumb an idea a thinking our 7-1 freshmen center can guard a mobile big...

    Geez…We are 24-3, we played poorly and lost a game..relax

    The issue isn't that we lost a game. Hell, going into this year, most people thought we'd lose at least one OOC game, @SJU, @Seton Hall, and maybe @Creighton. By my count and prediction, we're actually a game ahead. But it's that, as our own coach said, we've been playing with fire for a bit...

    Either Stewart or Ross needs to start

    There’s much more to bring a solid defender than athleticism, etc. Bird was an all-nba defender and actually has a higher career defensive rating in some metrics than Jordan, Pippen, Kobe. Bird wasnt doing it with athleticism. And yes I just compared Solo to Larry Bird.

    Chief’s Brief - Creighton Edition

    I’m legit baffled you think that Reibe could guard any of the 4s on those teams especially outside the paint. All of whom are first round picks in part bc of their mobility. Reibe struggled with Creightons backup center. Just bc they all weigh the same does not equate to athleticism and mobility.

    Question about our Man to Man defense

    Perfectly stated in personnel and scheme. This portal run should be very interesting.

    OT: Tiny House

    I used to live in a very large house with someone AND legit lived on a quasi-cliff. Suffice to say, I explored that cliffside quite a bit.

    Either Stewart or Ross needs to start

    We can't be sending a double for Solo's man on the perimeter. That's ridiculous. Either Solo needs to take a step back and play D, or he's an enormous liability. As you said, we have no definitive rim protector, and our rotations are inconsistent at best. I'm for starting Ross if for no other...
