    Scout Team: Silas Demary Jr

    Interesting that both of these guys pick UConn over St. John’s in the Big East while many other sportswriters think the opposite.

    OT: 7-foot-9 Olivier Rioux gives football a try at Florida

    Does Florida not have a D1 Men’s beach volleyball team this guy can play on? Lol

    Rothstein - Early Big East Breakdown - St. John's and UConn are on a collision course + Power Rankings

    I don't personally agree with Rothstein in picking St. John's over us. St. John's is almost starting from scratch with a whole new team again this year and while they have some offensive fire power, their defense and chemistry are a huge question mark. We have 4 studs in Demary, Ball, Karaban...

    Interesting article from Matt Norlander about coaches saying schools are still going to cheat with revenue sharing

    And at the end of the day, if you don’t have an elite coach who can get your players to gel as a team, it’s all irrelevant. Let John Calipari and John Scheyer put together all star teams every year so they can flame out and fall short like usual. There are some excellent coaches, especially in...

    Rothstein - Early Big East Breakdown - St. John's and UConn are on a collision course + Power Rankings

    Hate to say it before the season even starts, but we will be as good a Reibe is at backup center. If he can give us a solid 15 mins/game and not give up too much on the defensive end then we are going to just steamroll even very solid teams. If he isn’t ready for that role yet then we could be...

    2025 NBA Draft Thread

    I’m curious, has a team (other than Duke) ever had 3 top 10 picks and failed to win the NCAA tournament? That 1999 Duke team might have had a similar number of top picks as well.

    new seat selection email?

    We donated some extra $$ (nothing crazy) and ended up with comparable seats at Gampel and better seats at XL than what we had last year. I think the fans that got shafted were those sitting in the lower sections where UConn held back tickets for NIL/business partnerships. Didn't have a huge...

    Alex mic'd up

    AK looks quicker in this video than he did at the end of last year. I think he was physically worn out by the end of the year and was struggling to get open looks because of it. If he can get his conditioning to an elite level, he'll be so much better this year. He's never going to be the...

    The XL Center is now People's Bank Arena. *nm*

    Because there are no other good college sports programs in MA (or New England) we are the Patriots of NCAA basketball.

    Defensive Potential Of This Year’s Team

    I’ll be shocked if we’re not a top 10-15 defense by the end of the year. The staff is prioritizing this.

    Alex Karaban is BACK

    Can we have the Boneyard autocorrect Zanetto to "bozo" or some other clown-themed nickname? The guy needs to just go crawl into a hole and not show his face publicly.

    Alex Karaban is BACK

    Yeah, he's going to "do all the little things" and then all of the sudden you look up at the scoreboard in Gampel and he's got 22 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists to go with his 2-3 blocks. This team is gonna be scary good. Defense will still be the biggest question.

    Alex Karaban is BACK

    This should put us top 5 preseason regardless of who else we bring in. LET’S GO!

    Karaban still weighing decision whether to return or go pro

    Per Mark Zanetto I’ve just confirmed that Alex Karaban won’t be playing in BOTH the NBA and UConn next year. Rumor is he’s going to pick one or the other, but not both.

    ACC considering reducing conference schedule to help boost the league's NCAA Tournament profile

    The problem is this only helps your resume if your crappy teams can win some games against other conferences. They’d be better off going the other direction and refusing to play any other conference so no one would know how terrible their crap conference is.
