    Non-Key Tweets

    The fact that many of us would rather see Seton Hall than Texas Tech just doesn’t make any sense to them. We won’t care about Texas Tech until our games against them matter. People on both sides are over analyzing this. We will show up for P4 football games and we will perform as a basketball...

    How much college basketball do you watch? (no poll)

    Were Marist and Hartford in the same conference in the 80’s? I used to see a lot of Marist games when I was a kid but I’m not sure why. I also remember seeing a lot of Niagara and Canisius games back then. Pretty sure they were all in the same conference and somebody carried it. I definitely...

    Luke Murray and BC?

    That pic of Luke represents the first time I've ever noticed a serious resemblance to his dad.

    How much college basketball do you watch? (no poll)

    I watch almost all of the UConn games. I do miss a few each season, but I always follow along on my phone with the espn app and the game chat here. I also watch a lot of Big East games. I'm particularly interested in games that involve the original members. DePaul, Butler and Marquette...

    Chol Machot?

    I like the to see what guys can do within our system. It makes people better and accentuates their talents in many cases. This is particularly true on defense where a guy like that can really show off his ability to disrupt shots both one on one and coming from the weak side. He’s just that...

    Chol Machot?

    Well, we can see him play on film, so I’m pretty confident he can be of value. He can do a lot of things and looks good doing it. Most impressive is a steal and coast to coast dunk while looking completely comfortable with his dribble. Add that to the ally oops, a smooth 3 pointer and a bunch...

    Chol Machot?

    Hopefully, we have decent cash left. This guy can’t be cheap.

    More trouble in ACC paradise?

    I wonder if @billybud is still with us.

    Golden to Golden State?

    Yep. UF is a very good job but I think its a no brainer--- from Golden's point of view at least. He should be all over it.

    Golden to Golden State?

    Golden should take the Warriors job if offered. Even though he's off the hook for rumored indiscretions at UF, he's one strike away. He should take the money at Golden State and if it doesn't work out he can always go back to college. His wife may like the idea of getting him off campus too.

    Solo's Replacement - Paul McNeil

    Most people here would quit their job and move to Storrs for free snacks.

    Solo's Replacement - Paul McNeil

    That’s some competition but this kid should want to play in our offense. He will crush it.

    Solo's Replacement - Paul McNeil

    Shoots it like Ray. Very good footwork. He'd thrive in our offense. 6'5" and some nice elevation. Would have tons of good looks given our system and his gifts.

    The Official Big East is Poverty Thread

    lol. Yeah. I think young fans think St John’s is like a St Mary’s or something, but with even less history. They have no idea St John’s was big time. When I tell them, they go, “Oh, so that’s why Pitino went there? It makes sense now.”

    The Official Big East is Poverty Thread

    Nah. UConn and Nova are the reason the Big East is a power conference today, and that rep is fading quickly. I live in SEC/ACC country. Nobody thinks about UConn as being anything but a member of the Big East. When we were in the American, no one even knew it around here. You are giving the...
