    7 Seed Still In Play

    There's been a good amount of evidence lately that the committee basically has the seed lines set by Saturday morning, so I'm skeptical that any title game result would matter too much, but I'd love to be wrong.

    Australian Open

    Sinner wins and was absolutely dominant, didn't face a break point all match. He's 10-0 in his last 10 matches against top 10 opponents, and hasn't dropped a set during that streak. I'm not sure how you beat him on hardcourt, he has borderline prime Djokovic movement skills with way more...

    Name your all-time UConn Defensive Team

    It ended with some bad blood with Oriakhi but he might be one of the most underrated UConn defensive players ever. Go re-watch the San Diego State and Arizona games, he took away whatever they wanted to do offensively, unfortunately he was in foul trouble for a decent part of the Arizona game.

    Dan Hurley live press conference

    I think the guy on the right has found seasonal work with fall in Minnesota.

    Men UConn in the 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament > Norman Oklahoma Regional > HookC Advances to Super Regionals

    It's been the case pretty much all year, but the offensive approach for this team just kinda sucks. Refuse to work counts, swing at pitches out of the zone contstantly, poor sense of situational hitting. Very unusual for a Penders team.

    OT: Rafael Nadal Loses In First Round at Last French Open

    12 of Federer's 20 slams came by the end of 2007, before Nadal and Djokovic were in their prime. He's obviously an all time great by any metric, but he had a big advantage in being able to beat up on a relatively weaker era of tennis than Nadal and Djokovic.

    Honest question- Do we have enough rebounding to be bulletproof

    Historically speaking, when Tom Moore is on a team's coaching staff, that team is really good at rebounding.

    What is the best individual, single-game performance in UConn history?

    Thabeet's impact was truly impossible to measure, as cliche as it was. People would refuse to go inside the paint against him out of fear of him. I remember a game against Notre Dame maybe his sophomore year where their guys were pump faking 4 or 5 times before passing back out if they happened...

    2024 Recruiting: Patrick Ngongba

    Roscoe was really the guy that took a lot of Jamal Coombs-McDaniel's minutes from what I remember. Jamal Coombs-McDaniel wasn't fluid enough as an athlete to be a guard at the college level so he had to carve out the 3/4 hybrid role. Roscoe just happened to be way better defensively and Calhoun leaned on him a lot particularly...

    OT: Andre Drummond speech

    He came into a tough situation- Calhoun was in and out the whole year, Boatright's suspension, Boatright and Napier's alleged rift, the guy he was effectively replacing (Oriakhi) was upset at the coaching staff. He still showed some pretty good flashes, I remember the first 5-6 minutes of the...

    Shabazz is a champion- again

    Raftery's "uh-oh" is subtle but one of my favorite UConn calls.

    Pitino doing Pitino

    I think NCAA violations are a thing of the past. The impermissible benefits stuff will be basically gone, and if you think the NCAA has something on you otherwise, just refuse to cooperate until they go away.

    Men UConn Baseball @ 2023 NCAA Tournament’s Gainesville Regional (6/2>6/5). Elimination Sunday 6/4/23 v. Florida Gators @Noon on SEC Network

    Definitely rooting for Florida to lose tonight. Would rather only have to beat them once than twice in 24 hours.

    Vital Mini Camp Invite with Jazz

    Those Spotrac numbers are misleading, since the G League I believe doesn't publish individual salaries, Spotrac lists every player as being under a Exhibit 10/Minimum contract, but the ~900k to ~1million number would be his salary only if he spent the entire year on the NBA roster, not the...

    Men Wins needed for a 2023 NCAA At - Large bid

    Florida regional, first game vs Texas Tech. They're not listing seeds so not sure if they're a 2 or a 3.
