Not the time for a three game losing streak.

Do you know the tickets aren’t already sold? If so, is your theory that it’s about the NCAA wanting to reward scalpers?

“I really don’t care if we win a lot of games so long as I like the style we play.” Said no fan of any team or program ever.

I am not trying to pick on you but I am trying to make a point. The fan base seems to want this to be the women’s team. Where we never lose and never struggle in all our wins. The fact is this team isn’t struggling. Yes, we sucked against Creighton but really good teams struggle every so...

When Francesa started at WFAN, he had an incredibly deep knowledge and understanding of college hoops. It dwindled as he became a “star” and spent far more time talking about what NYC fans care about, which is pro sports. And then add losing your fast ball as you age, and here we are. But...

We’re 26-3. We’ve won 2 of the last 3 national championships. Please define “struggles.”

I drove to/from the game from Vermont yesterday. Didn’t get home until 12:30 so if I am slow on the intake forgive me.

Creighton lost to DePaul last night moving Providence to within 1.5 games of Creighton, 1 in the loss column. If Providence can win at Creighton this weekend, then even if St Johns can move on from last night and beat ‘Nova on Saturday, a 1 seed in the Big East tournament is very much in play.

Pitino has done this before. They have another huge game on Saturday. There is no world in which that loss was all on Pitino and everyone knows it. He decided not just to take all the blame but to try to move his team forward, which included I’m assuming a 2.5 hour bus ride home, as quickly...

AZ, Duke and Michigan have played better than us game by game over the course of the season, and especially since we all got into conference schedules. People see that. Most UConn fans see that. But as the non-conference schedule and the last three halves showed, I don’t doubt that we can...

No. Not even close. Last night was a great defensive performance, but you have to compare based on at least a season, and not a game.

This. If you graded Emeka and Donovan game by game, I have no doubt Emeka would have better grades. But notwithstanding that, Donovan had more impact on the defensive side just because of the combination of his size and athleticism.

Maybe we can stop having this same discussion over and over and over for a while? Or are there some who don’t want to believe their own eyes? One can theorize reasons why Gampel is quieter until the cows come home, but the crowd last night spoke for itself. And a special shout out to the...

Getting steals, which Nadav was incredible at, is not the same as absolutely sticking the opponents best guard, on or off the ball, all season ling. As ive said before, if you watched uconn all year, the moment you saw trajon langdon was going to try to take Moore for the last shot down 1, you...

Ricky Moore his senior year had the best year a UConn defensive player has ever had and it isn’t close. (And I agree — leave centers out because it’s totally different.). Had Castle played multiple years here I have no reason to doubt he would have reached that level, but he didn’t.
