Yeah, but when he says we would have won Championships regardless of our conference, don’t listen to him. He knows nothing. He wants to go back to the AAC. 😉

You’re right. I agree (and just for the record Wisconsin doesn’t suck. They got some T25 votes I believe.) And they have multiple high end games coming up. Their final 6 games include 4 different ranked opponents including Duke. Our final 6 games include St John’s. Hurley gets that for us...

I think you all want to return to the AAC.

Except not so much. This is a result of a series of factors: 1. Struggling against the likes of Providence, the Hall, Georgetown, DePaul. Meanwhile Michigan was beating the #5 and #7 teams in the country. 2. There is always a recency bias in this. Our wins against ranked opponents...

Anyone who disagrees with Nelson.

Back in the early days of computing they used to say GIGO. Garbage in= Garbage out. Most of these metrics are just nonsense. At the end of the day does it really matter if UConn beats Creighton by 15 when the Computers and the Draft Kings projected they’d win by 17? They are taking systems...

I agree this has gotten crazy. I’m sure we are speaking/negotiating with somebody about a 12th game but that could well require us or them or both to make other adjustment, too. I think that is pretty typical.

So light sweater?

Or some knucklehead in the AD’s office overheard AD Dave and Candle saying what do you think about going to Florida Gulf Coast and calling his contact at Storrs Central and telling him we are playing FGC. In fact that is the more likely scenario.

You are allowed to “withhold” information on a contract that is under negotiation, though. Guessing that is what going on here. Once the agreement is locked down they will announce it. The fact that some individual or group has leaked the information is interesting but not relevant.

They are not going to be an 8 seed now based on what they have done to date. I’m sort of coming to the idea that this team is good but not great. Played really well, maybe a little over their heads, against top competition. But now are reverting to being a good team. I wouldn’t be totally...

I don’t think so mainly because he doesn’t have options. What is he going to do, sit them and play Stewart and Ross ? Both Ball and Karaban can make plays and score. When your bench can’t you need to just go with the guys who can even if they make bonehead plays.

Or maybe if UConn had taken football seriously instead of hiring and funding it on the cheap, sort of the polar opposite of what Houston, Cincinnati and Central Florida did, it would be in the B12 now. I don’t guarantee that but I think it is very likely. Here is the reality. UConn killed...

You must be in favor of re-joining the American. 😉

Uh-oh! The NBE needs to take action. Quick add Dayton!
