I can see resting star players for the purpose of injury recovery and on VERY RATE occasion, just for resting. But to assess the rest of the team's players committment? If they aren't hustling as hard as they can in practice, they're not long for the W. And nor should they be. I can't...

Writing after the game was played. Don’t understand why it’s double elimination until this game. Seems a bit unfair to the Fairfield team.

Please no! Seems to me no CD, no Geno. 😥

Almost my entire professional career was working as a public employee - a variety of county government positions in WI & MI as well at the Universities of Maine and Wisconsin. Part of my job at the county level was preparing and managing budgets and as I am sure almost everyone on this board...

Thanks BBall. Mom died a long time ago but the topic still comes up now and then 35 years later so you know it was something that really didn't sit well with us. On the other hand, my wife is a retired minister and she made it a point to learn how to properly pronounce the names of both people...

Agreed. But what’s worse IMO is when a clergyman who’s officiating a funeral doesn’t take the time to learn how to properly pronounce the deceased’s name. Happened at my mom’s funeral.

As more foreign players enroll at American universities, I wonder if the NCAA will consider relaxing the limit down the road.

Thanks Sarge - I was hoping it would be at Chicago so that I could take my daughter to it. We had originally planned to go to the Hall of Fame tournament at Mohegan Sun in November but no longer are able to do so.

Can anyone tell whether the Loyola game is home or away?

KBAZ - great memories from RD. I remember decades ago submitting tidbits for their consideration without success. Do you have a sense of when the issue was dated?

Reading the club statement from Majic Hands’ link, the team says there have been other UConn players on Sopron. BlueSky asked about Gabby. Any other players anyone knows about?

A few years ago my wife and I invited a couple, relatively new friends of ours, over for dinner and to watch the Super Bowl. They readily agreed but did inform us that they weren’t big fans. It turned out they knew virtually nothing about football - I mean not even the basic fundamentals...

Sometimes I wonder if the coaching staff actively discourages dunking. We’ve certainly had players with the ability and clean opportunities but I don’t remember seeing one.

We live in northern WIsconsin and have used Hulu Live for several years. Except for the massive cost hikes over the years, we’re quite happy with the service. 18 months ago we moved our internet service from Frontier to Starlink. Besides moving from a download speed of 3 (yes, you read that...

Ditto - I’ve been on thyroid meds for probably 30 years now. If it isn’t too intrusive Sarge, it would be interesting to know what you were facing. But most important, great to hear you’re recovering.
