While everyone complains about the too many fouls, as do I, that is not the issue. It is about FT disparity and call consistency that irks me the most. As an example, we are btchn about the too many calls, but happily point out that Alex was 8-8 from the FT line. Well in all likelihood...

You know what is worse than the fouls being called every possession? Fouls not being called on the other team playing UConn.

Not only missing 2 starters, but this was essentially the 1st real game with our starting PG, and we looked in-synch for the most part, given the experimenting with the lineups.

Looking at the Duke v UCF exhibition box score, the FTA discrepancy was UConn-esq. 13-3 in first half, 23-4 in the second half. I did not see the game, but Boozer's inside game may have justified it, and I am sure the officiating was ACC good, LOL.

Castle's in the Air?

No turnovers and solid special teams helps. Silent killers.

Blanca's potential is clear. She is 6'2" and athletic. Her issue is the speed of the game. When playing professionally she often went up against older and more experienced players. She picked up the basketball IQ playing against older and more mature players. That is good. But, those older...

1) Any team that misses the playoffs is in the same boat we are in. Bowling is now the target. 2) Better to lose early than late in the season. Humans have an amazingly short memory. 3) We are competitive and worth watching. We can only get better.

UConn repped by the Fairfield team a few ways. Apparently the dad of the Greek Taxiltaridis twins, played for the UConn football team.

That is the way I think it's done. BTW, the strength of the Fairfield team is their best players are down the middle of the field. Their center fielder, their pitcher and their catcher are top notch. An important core for a team. Throw in a steady SS/2B and "the rest", and you have a good team.

NK - "If he ever sees the floor, UConn is cooked" That is the glass half empty point of view. I say, if he ever sees the floor, he is developing at a much faster pace. Not what I expect, but he could not have picked a much better "sandbox" to improve his skills. He will be challenged with...

It looks to me like Furphy makes others around him better. If you ignore him, he can hurt you. If you focus on him, he positions himself in such a way that others get better looks. The way you play off the ball is as important as it is playing with the ball. That fits nicely with the UConn...

If we win 13 of 12 we should be in.

Sadly, Creighton's 2 bunts proved more meaningful than UConn's 2 solo homers. That's baseball.
