I believe that, even if the ump had run Dempster, he still would have had to issue warnings to both teams, so CC would have been in the same predicament regardless of whether Dempster stayed in the game or not. Having said that, Dempster should have been tossed, which would have put his...

I go all the way back to George Ehrlich on WTIC back in the 60's. His signature call was 'SWISH' whenever a player scored a jump shot without touching the rim. I believe he was also the one who coined the nickname 'Poughkeepsie(sp?) Popper' for Wes Bialasouknia (sp?). I still consider...

Always been proud to call myself a UConn fan. Never more so than this season, and never, ever more so than today.

If you factor in success at the next level, Cliffie and our current coach jump right into my mind. They each exceeded my expectations at Storrs, and I never expected either to have the NBA success that they had.

Man, this is a fun team to watch. Great job of dissecting the zone. Looked like it caught them by surprise but they adjusted well.

On paper, they would lose to all 3 other FF teams. But, the way that post-season unfolded, I'm not sure they would have lost to any of them. Once they ran the table in the BET, they were playing with house money ... there was absolutely no pressure on them, because we, as fans, and I suspect...

"Why shouldn't fans expect a lot from an elite program, with a team stuffed with talent and coached by a legend? " Maybe because the role of fans is to support, not critique?? I understand that it's fun to play 'armchair coach' and try to analyze what's good and what could use improvement, but...

I was in a car on Sunday, so could only follow the game on my phone. And I haven't had the chance to watch a replay. From that perspective, a few observations: 1. UConn, unlike other elite teams, has rarely blown out the 'cupcakes' on their schedule to the extent we think they should. I...

Senore, my daughter spent a year teaching in Louisville in '09-'10, and absolutely loved it. If she hadn't missed family so much, she'd still be there. I had the opportunity to go visit her in conjunction with UConn's final visit to Freedom Hall, and, although the result was very painful from...

Just shows it's possible to be a 6-6 250-lb moron. I live in Tampa, and I wish he'd move someplace else, preferably someplace with no Internet access.

As much as I loved the opening minutes, I was even more impressed with the way we answered MSU's run. When the Spartans tied, and then took the lead, I thought they might slowly pull away. But UConn showed great poise, grit, and mental toughness, and made the big plays when needed. All hallmarks...

Also loved DD's defense on the last MSU 3-ball attempt. Stayed on his feet, got right in the guy's face and contested the shot, all without fouling.

Nick, you must be near my age, because that's when I started to follow UConn hoops. And I totally agree. Never been more proud of a Husky team.

Hey Ward, any more questions???
