That can’t be rationally answered yes. Even if he’s the best player on the championship team that hasn’t happened yet. Why not ask if Tyler Olander is a better big man than Okafor, Sanogo, Thabeet and Voskuhl because he has more rings.

No, don't read what the coaches say. When coaches say something, you can't assume they are speaking for the purpose of communicating truths any more than politicians do. That having been said, I'm not insulted in hearing 7-5. We have so much turnover year to year on defense especially that...

Did you watch the beginning of '22? Did you see the tournament in Portland? DC was a monster offensively before his minutes went down and conference play started. He had no skills in the half court set offense. His skills were racing down the court with amazing speed for a guy his size and...

The "bagging" on Ross (assuming I understand what you're saying) is because he was a major liability when on the court last year. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't see folks knocking him as a human being, just as a basketball player. If he's gotten so much better over the offseason that he...

So what would you like us to judge DC on other than how good he was while at UConn?

1. What happens after they leave college is so irrelevant to the question at hand it amazes me folks still bring it up. 2. Thabeet as a junior could hit foul line extended jumpers. DC as a soph wasn't even allowed to take them. And, someone can prove me wrong, but I think by the time he was...

Gee, thanks. I was a regular at both the Holiday Festival and NIT growing up in the 60s and early 70s. Heck, I would be in MSG for the start of the 5th place consolation games where there wouldn’t be 100 people in the Garden. Yes, college basketball was different, but UConn wasn’t playing the...

Not knocking anyone who played before the Big East era, but whatever they accomplished was against regional opponents from New England. Not a national schedule.

Okafor and it’s not close. Okafor was a national player of the year candidate. Second, however, we could debate all day. You could make an argument for any of DC, Sanogo or Thabeet. I’m not willing to pick among them until giving it more serious thought.

This is where you have to differentiate between most impactful versus best, which to me deals with skills. Okafor was the best — the most skilled. But in terms of impact, DC was more impactful. Thabeet was behind the two of them by a good deal (although Thabeet by the time he was done was...

Sullivan had such a good freshman season, and didn’t have an impact after that. Very disappointing.

AT least a third, if not 40%, of fans in the building were MIchigan fans. While some blue and maize were in the season ticket section, many simply purchased season tickets, mini-plan tickets or single game tickets directly from UConn. By 2013, we weren't getting 30k in the building for normal...

I will just join the prayers and condolences being wished you. Games are trivial compared to what happened to your family and friends, but games (and other things that are a break from the sameness of day to day life) will help with the recovery when the time is right.

You mean first he’d have to create one.
