Hey the Ohio State AD says it’s unsustainable. That makes me think it’s unsustainable😉

Another big weekend for UConn.

He was being a jerk and his team has been struggling against awful completion. We just lost to a team that was.500, with 1-9 record against Q1teams. Oh and we gave up 91 points. I think maybe he needs to focus on what is happening on the floor rather than in the seats.

Chief, Just stop with the ref crap. Yes, they missed some but no that isn’t why we lost. Our defense let them pretty much go to the hoop uncontested for large parts of the game. Karaban was often trying to cover up for our big being out covering some guy at the foul line. According to the tv...

Here’s a thought. Maybe Dan Hurley should worry less about the people in the stands and more about the players on the floor. It is pretty obvious that they are not getting it done. Struggled to get the ball in play, struggle and now lose to glorified mid-majors, clanged something like 11/12...

We missed something like 11 of 12 shots including some very makable ones from about the 9 minute mark on. Everybody missed in that stretch. That is when it completely got away from us. But I’ve been waiting for this game. A bad loss to a bad team. We have not played well since December with...

This was bound to happen the way they have been playing.

Here’s the real problem. The fanbase has changed over time. And to a degree the reality of the NBE has dawned. Look at this board. Game tonight against Creighton. How many threads even mention it? You need to go 10 down to find something. There are looks at the draft, the top 25, some off...

So let me see if I have this. It’s ok for Hurley to call out the fans, but not ok for the fans to call out the team for not being able to get a freaking ball in bounds which is certainly one of the most fundamental plays in basketball. Is that about right?

Quad wins matter at the margins, I think. Bubble teams, 8 or 9 seed. That sort of thing. It give the committee an excuse to include or not include someone as an at large. That’s about it. You want to give a bid to a mediocre B10 team, wowsah they had 2 quad 1 wins. You want to keep a good...

We did some stuff poorly. We did other stuff poorly because they forced us into it. At least that was how I saw it.

I am very worried about Villanova at Villanova. More because of how we are playing than them. And St John’s dominated us in “our second home.” Yeah, it’s theirs too, but nobody gets all hot and bothered about MSG like UConn fans. (After 50 years as a UConn fan I still don’t understand it...

I don’t think a 5 seed but if we lose to Villanova and the Johnnies then again in the New Big east Tournament semis a 3 or even a 4 is not out of the question.

It was…in 1999. As with most things over time interest changes. I looked at attendance a couple of years ago and tracked it. It peaked in 2006 then either declined or a couple of years stayed flat but never returned to the 06 level again until Covid. It bounced back in a big way post COVID...

That was NOT a weak conference. It got more bids than 2023 and what 2026 will be from the NBE. And it’s underrated because it was new. 2 teams made the Sweet16. And UConn obviously won the whole thing. But for most of the year there were 5 Top 25 teams., Louisville, Cincinnati, UConn...
