In addition to his struggles down the stretch, I think the rumor about his family concerned about his playing time has some concerned what he will do if we bring in a portal 5 that could compete with him for PT or even the starting position. Hopefully the rumor was nothing more than just a rumor...

I'm concerned with Reibe's weight and strength. His situation is problemstic. I would like them to add a bigger and more physical 5 who can rebound, take away the paint and block shots. Not sure what impact on Reibe if they add a 5 that will compete with him for the starting center. What's...

I lived in Europe many decades ago and they had a very different HS system.

I didn't realize Lendeborg was #1, so he is not a good example on my part. I do remember looking at the stats of a few of the portal transfers that did very well this past season and noticed some had moderate to low production prior to their landing spot. It's not exactly a crap shoot, but it's...

The portal is a feeding frenzy with sharks in the water. The share number of players entering the portal is like a frickin bate ball. I just don't know how the coaching staffs keep their sanity trying to figure out what they are losing, who they might want to add and who they can actually get...

And so is the "Early bird catches the worm!" Portal hoppers are already coming off the board. I'm sure some staff members were hard at work figuring out what Portal prospects would be good fits and likely available. I would think our brand is sky high still after playing in the championship...

Interesting player. I assume when he dunks the ball they call it a Royal Flush.

Don't agree. Just about every game there are some dumb fouls they commit and some that result in either poor defensive execution or trying to cover more athletic opponents. With that said, they improved some as the season went on, and last night although some fouls were dumb, there were so many...

No. I've been anoid constantly watching the way he plays. He constantly tries to draw fake fouls and draws at least 1 each game. I wouldn't want that on my team. He floats a lot on D, though to his credit makes some nice defensive plays from time to time. He also sees the floor well and fits...

One stat stood out. I and many others said before the game that we needed to hit double digit 3s on a respectable volume 30+% to get the upset. Well we converted only 9 of 33, 27%. If AK converted that late 3 it would have been 10 and 30%, and down by 1 with 17 seconds to go. Oh so close. The...

Michigan's length and athleticism made it tough to get good shots off. Key sequence was when they cut it to 5 and had the ball with a little over 8 minutes to go with momentum on our side and AK turned it over. I though May should have called a time out right before that, but it didn't cost...

Since we had a 77-74 NC win over Dook in 1999 and a 73-72 win over Dook in the E-8 this year, how about we fill the gap with 76-75 score against Michigan tonight...or should we save that score for the next time we break the hearts of Dook nation in the NCAA tournament? I really don't care what...

When have you seen UConn play any zone? Frankly I can't remember the last time they played any extended minutes of zone. I doubt you'll see much if any zone D. Zones tend to give up offensive rebounds, which we don't want to do against Michigan.

I figured I'd chime in here. We've never been able to play our A game, never mind an A+ game any time this season. The second SJU game was probably the closest. With that said, to beat UM, it won't necessarily take our A game. We need to play very good on the defense end of the floor, not...

Dook looked unstoppable going into the final game in 1999 and we all know how that turned out. I'm okay that they blew out Zona. Better that than them facing us feeling battle tested. If the game stays close throughout the game on Monday or we happen to jump out to an early lead, I like our...
