We shot 18% from 3 point range and just beat a Top 25 team on the road while playing 5 on 8. I’m not going to go on and on about the officiating but if you watched the 2nd half and didn’t come away thinking they were trying to steal that game from us I don’t know what you were watching. Big East...

We play a slow pace because of the offensive sets we run. We literally make teams defend 6-8 screens of more and multiple actions in a 25 second period and it generally results in a high quality shot. Then we do that 60 more times. It wears teams down. Could we score more if we played a quicker...

Not sure if others have mentioned it but Stewart has become a pretty high level entry passer into the post. Multiple times last night he got the ball around the foul line and threw a very nice lob into Reed. They looked like set plays. He’s becoming a key to our success even when not scoring

Maybe, but that just shows the NET is still not a good metric. The committee isn’t looking at how good or bad the teams ranked over 150 were to determine your seeding. They need to weight Top 25 wins more heavily.

It’s amazing to me that based on our resume which seems to me to be a top 3 resume of all teams in college ball at worst that the net has us 8th. We are very clearly one of the best 3-4 teams this year

Some on here think it’s 99% chance he’s a one and done. I’d put it closer to 50/50 if I had to take a stab right now. He needs to gain some strength and improve his defense. He’s not gonna be “the guy” this year with AK and Solo on the team. If he stays another year he could be a 20 ppg scorer...

Kid is seriously underrated. I know he’s a top 25 prospect in his class, but he definitely looks closer to top 5 from what I’ve seen compared to others ranked above him.

The game has definitely slowed down for Ross and if his offense is clicking like it was the other night it’s going to be hard to give him under 25 mins/game.

8-0 run for Iowa. Jefferson is a nice player for Iowa State but once he gets it he is a black hole. Other than Jefferson and their PG, Iowa State looks slow and unathletic.

I get that Iowa State smoked Purdue, but they don’t pass the eye test as a top 5 team.

One problem with our defense is our guys are most likely used to defending the UConn offense that gets run in practice which doesn’t include a lot of drives. Then we get to a game where the other team just drives on us non-stop. We probably don’t practice or see that 1-on-1 defense as much as...

It seems like very often (such as the 1st half last night) we get 7-8 fouls called on us very quickly and often in the act of shooting. On the flip side, once the refs realize the huge foul discrepancy we often see “make up” calls in our favor. The problem is these aren’t shooting fouls and they...

Until Gampel starts impacting our NIL fundraising or recruiting I see no reason to change it. If given the choice between having a brand new state of the art facility or a top 5 basketball team, I’ll take the top 5 team all day long. The reality is the donors that would need to get hit up to...

You can be the best player on the team and still be the “glue guy”…in fact most of the best players in college bball are literally what hold their teams together.

I wish I could get a framed picture of Mullins at the line with the game on the line shooting his first ever free throws in college with AK looking over his shoulder from behind. It was little bit of a foreshadowing from what was our past to what may be our future glue guy.
