    Was that the biggest shot in UConn history

    #5: Jalen's similar to Braylon's, a clock-based fling. #4: Rip's was torn from in the frantic flow. #3: Kemba's was a planned set to get the defensive switch. #2: Tate's great was also planned. #1: Braylon's was in the flow, pure mechanics with an all-time great give-it by Alex. To get the the...

    A lot of credit to go around.

    Not to mention, Alex's late three might have been his prettiest ever. Malachi stepping up big time!

    WWW.SB (What's wrong with Solo Ball)

    For a player with perfect mechanics who has shown he can shoot it in big spots over an entire season, it's either an injury or a mental block. It's relatively easy to perfect the mechanics to the point of repeatability but to perfect the touch and feel, that is pure (talent + skill) * practice -...

    McDermott Retires

    It's great for the league to have great coaches so in no way will I think in terms of how this somehow 'helps' UConn. Good bye and good luck to a classy coach.

    Marquette Post Game Thread

    We've had a great season by any measure but after 20 games we're pretty heavily scouted in-conference not to mention a calendar-circled game for every opponent. And, we're missing a key piece in Stewie, who has something we could use out there - mental toughness. We've been playing up and down...

    Rip Hamilton's Kid Commits to Oakland

    Randy goes to men's games with his wife, sitting near me. A great guy. I played some fast pitch softball with him after his baseball career ended. When our team manager told me he had recruited a pretty good player and I saw who it was, I freaked. What a thrill to play alongside him.

    Top 50 Rivalries in Men’s College Basketball

    The term 'rivalry' conjures up deep emotional ties and I'd imagine none of the teams folks have listed would list us as their biggest rival. We were too late to the championship party in the OBE to matter to the early domineers. Being a non-Catholic didn't help. The only true 'biggest' rival...

    Seton Hall Post Game Thread

    Well, sure and StJ but hyperbole makes the point. We've taken a lot of punches and are looking down at the mat at the losers again and again (there I go again!)

    Villanova Post Game Thread

    Defense was a thing of beauty, especially Reed. He handled the keyhole hedge work better than even Samson Johnson as a senior. On his toes and seeing things before they developed. The whole team was on its toes for this one. Bouncing around, switching on time, covering the back end. It was...

    Poll: What do you think of Gampel's lower bowl fans?

    You couldn't be more wrong.

    More trouble in ACC paradise?

    This much is true. Are they handing money to kids with the expectation (requirement?) of more than one year? Or, does continuous outlay for a single year/single player fit into their wallets? With zero regulation, I can imagine there are a multitude of 'arrangements' out there.

    Poll: What do you think of Gampel's lower bowl fans?

    Tired old argument with no new opinions. I laugh when I hear folks saying that unless you stand and scream all game you're a less-worthy fan. Short-sighted youth, as ever. Still, I appreciate them standing and screaming - they're students and should defend their team till they're worn out and...
