He's probably been blocked less too. He's got an all around stat line: 11.9 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 turnovers, 1.5 blocks. Recent games even better.

I have no idea why his handlers think this strategy helps him. He'd be much better off playing and demonstrating endurance, ability to play in a team setting, commitment, defense, and a prioritization of improving his game under the tutelage of a pretty good college coach and program. I can...

There's no team in I.

I think it is an exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts. I didn't know they had high hedges but glad to be informed.

I think the structure of college sports right now won't permit UConn to become one of those competitors for the 12 CFP spots. If there is a limit of ~$20 million on payouts to athletes across all sports, and UConn will always prioritize men's and women's basketball, then we'll always have the...

Now that many teams and players skip bowl games, what are they playing for anywhere? Independent status is fine as long as you can schedule, and we've been getting great schedules.

Well, at least Jim Mora got good skiing and hiking.

I think Michael Jordan still has eligibility left.

I think he hasn't eye tested the other Big East teams. I'd like to know which 4 are going to beat us. We've already won 5 road games. @ St John's, @ Villanova, and @ Creighton are the toughest games left.

Chief, I agree with you about his draft position. But, Alex is going to play professionally and make plenty of money on top of millions made at UConn. He'll have a great life. It would be nice to be an NBA star but not every player can get there. I'll enjoy Alex and his magnificent contributions...

If KenPom determined the champion, how many championships would we have? One?

That's in games. What does he shoot in practice?
