McNeeley was always finna be a mid to late pick. He was invited to the draft, but weeks beforenrhe draft they knew he was going to go in the 20s. He went about where he should have went.

What family doesn't think their kid should play more?

This is the portal. Reibe knows UConn is trying to over recruit him. They can't go into next year with him as the starting center. He doesn't wanna be backup. Gotta go get the sure thing. Do I think reibe can be a top center? Yes. Will be it be next year? I don't know. UConn can't bet on...

I look at roster. 1. Demary 2. Ball 3. Ross 4. Stewart 5. Reibe That is a more athletic and longer team with, obviously, less scoring. I think Ross and Stewart have sacrificed their game for the program, and regardless if recruits both will see major minutes. Mullins returns, it make a...

Mullins showed shooting range, but not consistency. But, I am sure NBA teams feel that with experience that shot is too good looking to not be an elite shooter. . Mullins is very skinny. He needs a couple of years of maturation to play major minutes at NBA level. Regardless what people think of...

I am interested to see what nba scouts think of Mullins. Good size for a SG, decent athleticism and ball handling. Great looking shot. Lots of work to do on his strength and body. Way too light.

I liked that kid. Good player and from New England. Imagine BC will be in on him too.

I did the math!!!!! Calculator took awhile.

Hard to be disappointed, TBH. Just frustrated at the officiating taking Demary and Ball out, and then inability to make shots. Get healthy and the team coming back should be good. different, but should be good. Just a coulda, woulda, shoulda. Game unfolded like UConn needed it to.

I did not keep the faith. I even called the game too big for mullins. So I am an idiot and don't deserve the incredible ride the program has given the state for 36 years. Insane when you think about it.

This is gonna be terrific game. Not as good as the nightcap, but I think UConn is gonna play carefree and easy. I gotta believe Karaban won’t have that poor a game and Demary will get better with a week off. I gotta admit, I dread Michigan or Arizona in the final. LOL. But, hell, get there and...

So UConn fandom to immediately say hope we get better recruits. LOL. UConn has had one and dones and all Americans the last 3 years.

Yeah. I am with hoophound. It's been 25 years. I can't do it anymore.

Great story. Sixth grade, this team got me into sports and why I became a sports writer (Darn you Tate!). But, my father was always a pessimistic man and he left with 20 seconds to go, probably to head out to get cigarettes. He left, and then Tate hits the shot and my house starts screaming. LOL.

He is a great guy. Got to know him when I was working at that JI and he was RHAM coach for like 15 years. Nice man and I love this for him.
