This is great to hear, but what's surprising to me is that a deal had to be made to get him to stay. I guess it's part of the crazy era we find ourselves in.

Perhaps an honest conversation was had during which Reibe was told he was not guaranteed the starting role in 2026-2027 and he just wasn't willing to be slotted in a backup role again. I really thought he was coming along nicely even though he wasn't consistent. Eric definitely helped win some...

I was hopeful he could develop into a solid accompaniment to Reibe but I guess he wasn't far enough along in his development. I wish him well at his next school where hopefully he gets a chance to shine.

Tarris will always be remembered as a man who gave the glory to Messiah Yeshua (I typed the more common anglicized version of His name which Tarris uses in my post above, but it was deleted) and I highly respect this aspect of his character and share his faith perspective as well

Tarris's success is a testament to the hard work he put in, the belief Coach Hurley and the staff had in him, and his faith. Tarris will always be remembered as a man who gave the glory to , and I highly respect this aspect of his character and share his faith perspective as well. We...

I meant to say, it almost seemed there was collective agreement among the officials to lean toward Michigan. And what about the illegal screen call against Tarris? Was that call even justified? I never saw a replay.

I sort of agree, but the officials' refusal to call fouls on Michigan for obvious reach-ins and grabs was glaring. The free throw disparity should have been considerably less. The foul calls against Mullins (on what should have been a jump ball) and Reibe for absolutely nothing were particularly...

Disappointed with the result, but this team played their hearts out. I have never been more proud as a UConn fan.

I really didn't see it as a strut. I was impressed how he went from jubilantly euphoric to calm and serious at the flip of a switch!

At the start of this tournament, my thought was if this team can give their best effort for 40 minutes, one game at a time- you never know. To say they have exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. We've all seen them play very well at times this year, but the inconsistency has been...

Fantastic coach, and I've always appreciated the way he communicated with the media with class and dignity- win or lose. He represented Creighton and the Big East very well. Obviously, his teams always gave UConn a tough time (which I WON'T miss lol). I wish Coach Mac nothing but the very best...

As everyone has already said, incredible effort from Tarris. Also, great game from Alex- which couldn't have gone at a better time and hopefully carries into the UCLA game. Furman came to play and advance, and they deserve credit for continuing to fight all game long. On a final note, how does...

What was most surprising and disappointing about this was the lack of in-game adjustments to counteract St. Johns' strategy to have Ejiofor go one-on-one with Tarris. This was an obvious major strategical move by Pitino, and it looked like Hurley didn't know how to respond. You're right; we...

NOTHING can be taken for granted. We lost to Creighton and Marquette and won a bunch of games to lesser opponents by narrow margins. We are vulnerable. But we also beat ST. JOHN'S, BYU, Florida, Kansas, Texas, and Illinois- and came within 4 points of beating Arizona. Because this team has...

St. John's opened the game with a 10-0 run and closed it with a 13-2 run. Huskies had ZERO field goals over the final 8 minutes. 😳
