Hoping Dook finishes the year ranked #1 so they can hang their “#1 in the AP Poll” banner while flaming out in the 2nd round of the tournament. We have bigger things to play for than AP poll ballots.

I watched the 2nd half of the Mich/Dook game last night. Honestly, if we play like we played last night which is not even our A game, neither of those teams beat us.

I’m not blaming officiating on this loss, but my observation from being at the game is we are tentative finishing around the rim. We’ve gotten so used to no calls being called in our favor down low, that it has changed the way we try to finish shots and we’re often taking high difficulty...

I watched Iowa St earlier this year against Iowa and was completely unimpressed. They’re an easy pick for an early upset from a higher seed and they just lost to TCU

Illinois goes down!

@RuffRuff man you need to sit this one out for a little…your takes are so bad and incredibly twisted reality. We lost by 2 to a team that shot 12 more FT’s and we shot about 10% below our average from 3. Even with that Florida needed some lucky bounces and late game heroics to beat us. They were...

The NCAA should impose some kind of penalty on Alabama just for attempting to pull this crap. I always thought highly of Nate Oates, but he dropped a few pegs in my eyes solely because of this. They should hit them with a fine or a postseason ban just to send a strong message

There aren’t really any teams that particularly scare me (including Arizona). If we shoot it well and don’t have a -20 free throw differential we’re going to win and advance. We’ve already shown we are better than many of the top 15 teams. I don’t really care if we’re a 1, 2 or 3 seed. If we...

I’m genuinely curious to know whether UConn basketball has ever lost a game where they shot 55%. I asked Gemini and ChatGPT, but they’re both too stupid/lazy to be able to pull box scores to search.

Wondering why we don’t see Mullins run the point in spurts. Yes he plays the 3, but he has a good handle and should be able to give us 5-7 min a game when Silas needs a rest.

The biggest problem is that Nov/Dec out of conference games are what determine how “good” a conference is perceived. Once you get in your conference bubble, the fate of how “good” your conference is has already been decided.

Lots of talk about how great the Big 10 and Big 12 are, but then you have Michigan State and BYU losing to unranked teams. I don’t care what conference you’re in, if your power teams can’t take care of the unranked teams in their conference it just shows the reality that those conferences maybe...

So, sounds like he’ll be good to knock down 2-3 three pointers against us.

You really do have to comment on every post? While you have an opinion on this, the reality is 3 point shooting wins championships. The statistics bear it out as well. If we get high quality 3 point looks and make them, we are going to win against a team that barely shoots 3 pointers (Arizona)...

In my mind I think there is not a huge talent difference between Arizona, Michigan and UConn. Duke has the best player in the country along with a couple other good pieces, but they don’t have the depth we do, so in my mind they are a tier below the top 3. When the tournament comes around you...
