    We lost a Rock & Roll Great, Rick Derringer

    Guy in our dorm was the bass player in a band. His room was configured like a sound studio - had the best sets of speakers and amps of anyone by far. Professional. Well, he'd practice at night, in his room, volume up, every room shaking to the bass line of Rock 'n Roll Hoochie Koo. I can still...

    Alec Millender commits to UConn

    Please stop with the Joey C comparisons. The only thing the same about these two bench players is their three point percentage. Joey was 6'3". A regular and flashy performer, he could get his shot off quickly vs. anyone, shoot on the move and finish. He played 14.5 mpg for us and was used...

    new seat selection email?

    The worst of it was the months of pent up anxiety re: what would be available. There were so many seats taken by school folks and other VIPs it just added to the fear. In the end, our XL seats were equivalent and GP, close enough. From guys I’ve spoken to, those with questionably...

    Alex Karaban vs. Tristen Newton, the return announcements

    Do you remember how you felt when TNewton announced the return for his super-senior season? Alex's announcement feels thrillingly similar. At that time I firmly felt Newton was exactly what we needed to repeat. A returning and dominant PG much less one from a championship team is the most...

    How UConn is preparing for revenue sharing with its athletes (Mike Anthony @ Hearst)

    My error. Knight's money was largely donations beyond the NIL collective. He has spent upwards of 2 billion for Oregon. Still, the school, not necessarily players directly, enjoy his support like none other.

    How UConn is preparing for revenue sharing with its athletes (Mike Anthony @ Hearst)

    It's comforting to see Benedict playing ahead and with clear vision of the current and future revenue landscape while overseeing an incredibly successful athletic division over his tenure. Hovering above, however, are the clouds about which he can only do so much to dissipate and reveal us in...

    Tarris “Big Hoss” Reed is Returning

    Right, Buff. The number of fouls due to using the hedge were mostly due to lack of defensive understanding by the guys across the back line, not directly Johnson nor Reed. So, triggered, 00? In a way. They have to constantly watch the hedger, look out for creepers down low and keep an eye...

    Nowell in the transfer portal

    The hedge is a great weapon. I saw Samson improve greatly over the years on the high hedge. With length, speed and athleticism he is a prototype hedger. Still, it takes a village. Guys on the back have to find their own man, creepers and keep their eye in where the hedger is and what he’s...

    Has this hole been filled?

    Is it dearth of penetration leading to low FT opportunities, lack of on-ball defense beyond a hobbled Diarra, freshman influence beyond Liam, playing at a fast pace? All reasonable holes needing fresh soil. Inability to pass the ball inbounds was tops for me, infuriation-wise. Giving away late...

    Very Happy for Azzi

    Azzi's light came on and we saw the emergence of greatness. Unbridled from injury and a secondary three point shooting role, she has exploded in effect. She will be a first team AA next season. Her shooting skill, when combined with superior quickness of hand, strength and speed will catapult...

    We Are The Champions Post Game Thread

    When I first saw Paige as a freshman, I saw a young lady with amazing talent and an incredible love for the game that I felt would be contagious in the best of ways. The setbacks along the way, while debilitating and frustrating, have contributed to her growth as a person and player and it has...
