I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mamadou Diarra moves up from Director of Player Development into the coaching staff.

That was the one in the 2nd half. They never showed a replay of the one in the first half.

Don't really know what to expect tonight. Only thing I know about Mich is they like to maintain a quicker tempo than we normally play at. Damn I really thought Reed's first shot was going in. Both centers are on the board first, so it's 2-2. 4 minutes in, and we've picked up 2 fouls to Mich's...

I've been doing that for three years. Not posting on a game until it's over. Had two bad experiences in a row (or nearly so) 3 or 4 years back, and just avoid the pregame threads at all costs now.

Throughout the tourney, every time Tarris was fouled and went to the line, the talking heads told us he's a 45% FT shooter. But during the tourney, he shot at a 76% and change rate from the foul line. You would think that by last night, they would have noticed that.

We opened strong and seemed to be maintaining a 6 to 9 point lead pretty steadily. Then Reed went to the bench for a breather and in what seemed like no time at all, our lead was down to 2. And soon after, we were down 21-22. What seemed like an eternity later, the score was stll 21-22. Actually...

UConn draws first blood as Reed hits a pair of FTs. Tarris has 8 of our first 10. But 8 minutes in, Duke is scoring virtually every time down the court. Why/how are we giving up so may rebounds? Pretty sure that Duke has more offensive boards than we have total boards. Reed on fire again. 8:16...

First three UConn scores by the different front court players - Alex & Mullins with threes and Tarris for a deuce. We hit a 10 point advantage @ 12:30 Our lead ballooned to 24-6 two minutes later. This was starting to look like a blowout. But It's the tourney and the guy on the other bench is...

Late start again. The "8:15 game" looks like it's not going to start until almost 9:15. These schedulers just don't give an old man a break. Every game runs 15 minutes longer than they allow for, and the studio commentators don't get their time cut to make up for it. Tarris wins the tap, but we...

Reed was absolutely astounding last night.

Who's idea was a 10 pm start? The one that turned into 10:25. Furman or not, expecting it to be tough without Demary. 14-10 @first time out. Was 12-4 a few seconds ago. These Furman guys are starting to feel their oats. 16/15. Horrible foul call on Reibe at 10:05. Free-throw give Furman the...

Who are these guys impersonating our players? We finally score, 4 minutes in. 10-3 We are getting manhandled. This is beyond embarrassing. Our issues with getting the ball inbounded cleanly are really hurting us today. Maybe not as much as our inability to score or to stop them from scoring...

After a scoreless first minute, Solo drives in to break the scoring ice, with an assist from Tarris. Mullins hits a midrange jumper to make it 4 zip! Wtf Alex? Pass to no-one? After another fruitless Gtown possession, Braylon hits a 3 to make it 7 zip! Other than Mullins' lone made three, our...

You cannot put NCAA leniency and UConn in the same thought.

12 minutes in, cruising along and then 2 seconds after either missing or ignoring an obvious travel on Anderson, the ref calls a foul on Reibe's clean block. Ross's steal and nearly full court drive for the dunk... that's the kind of stuff that gets the blood flowin'. Then he went and did it...
