    ESPN Mid-Season COTY Candidates

    I was researching some of his past posts and he seems to post a lot of pro-Duke stuff. If he's just trying to be funny it's not. It's just infantile and annoying. Thanks for letting me know about this. If he persists, I'm going to do something that I rarely do, ignore his posts, which is too...

    ESPN Mid-Season COTY Candidates

    No! Speak for yourself. On second thought, don't speak at all. I just threw up in my mouth reading your post. Again explain to us why you are here? You masquerade as a UConn fan but how can that be possible when you can't help but praise the program that 99% of the Boneyard hates. I'm one...

    ESPN Mid-Season COTY Candidates

    Why are you named WeAreUConn? You're obviously a Duke fan. I think You can't be a fan of both. We're not interested in hearing anything positive about Duke on the Boneyard. He's no where close to Coach K, who I think was widely overrated and pimped by ESPN, who consistently did less with more...

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    I listened to it earlier and didn't jump to some of the conclusions that some did. Nothing to see here, move on.

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    I'll chime in here. The Analytics aren't saying anything other than stacking teams up one ahead of the other based on a set of metrics. As for the eye test, the way they were executing their half court offense ineffectively for long stretches in January and not shooting the ball all that well...

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    What was the question that was asked? I didn't get the sense that he or his family are disgruntled about his PT. He's logged 21, 19 and 17 the last 3 games, while Reed Jr who's a senior logged 19, 21 and 22. Maybe he wants more, but what competive kid wouldn't want play more. Sometimes...

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    I think there is more to it. I wouldn't be surprised if Hurley had them practicing more transition and early offense basketball the past couple weeks after getting tired of too many grinded out close wins. I just don't think they've had a lot of offensive balance in January and the last two...

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    The Yard is a funny place. They win impressively tonight and at this point this post game thread is just 4 pages. They struggled in a win against Providence a couple games ago, and it was 23 pages. Apparently there was just not much to complain about.

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    Lot of good things to talk about and most of it has already been said. Nice all around performance on both ends of the floor. One strange observation was Reibe was probably fouled about 4 to 6 times throughout the game and didn't get many calls. I thought Reed also got fouled a number of times...

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    I noticed that too and commented during the chat. Seems the past two games they started pushing the ball to get some easier transition baskets. It's not only fun to watch but it's also better balanced basketball.

    Xavier Post Game Thread

    I don't know what they were looking at. It didn't look like a flagrant foul on Smith, but if you're going to call it on Smith why didn't the Xavier player get a flagrant as well, hitting Smith in the face and drawing blood. Just a bizarre call all around. If it was hockey it would be a 4 minute...

    Best line up in basketball?

    Maybe I'm not grasping something here. Are these analytics even accurate? And even so, they would be completely meaningless for a few reasons. You simply can't play just five players in a game, so that's pretty stupid. And if you're a team like UConn that has had some starters in and out...

    AP Poll Week #13

    One thing to keep in mind is the unprecedented number of high major teams with only 1 to 3 loses this late in the season, plus undefeated Zona, that make up to current the top 10. The reality is, just one more loss, UConn will drop quite a few spots if most of the other top 10 teams keep on...

    AP Poll Week #13

    Michigan beat #5 at the time Nebraska last Tuesday and then at #7 in-state rival Michigan State on Friday. In the same week we beat 9-13 cross-border pain-in-the-ass, PC at home by 6, followed by our 27 pt beat-down at 12-10 Creighton, both unranked. And if any of the voters watched UConn and...

    Creighton Post Game

    The app I was looking at might not have been refreshed. Creighton scored 28 points in the second half, and 58 total. Our offense and defense looked much better tonight, though I was surprised at how poorly Creighton played. They've been a tough opponent the past few years, but this season...
