UConn 93 GTown 48 MoV 45

During the Villanova game, at one point a foul was called on a Villanova player. No shooting, just a ball turnover. Think the announcer explained what happened? Nope, and it was not readily apparent to viewers (at least not to me) what had happened. Just suddenly, UConn had the ball back, and...

Olde Coach's posts were amazing to read. Was it really 12 years ago when he passed away? Wow.

I'm not pushing a panic button here, but I have concerns. I remember all too well when UConn cruised into the NCAAs with a fantastic record and lost to Vic Shaefer and MSState in the last seconds. In an different year, I was among those in Denver suffering though a heartbreaking loss to Notre...

I don't understand how announcers are bring coached or trained these days. It is okay to not call every move of every play, but not to call none of them. If you are in the second seat, your job is not to fill every second of air with blather when the other one is catching a breath. Have we...

SC is really coming on strong. They destroyed TN and have looked awfully good recently. In terms of the Final Four yes, UCLA will be a contender, but the team UConn should watch for is SC, IMHO.

We are flying in for the game, and all I really want is, of course, a big UConn win, but healthy players all around.

I thought Long was fine and Candace was better than most that I've heard this year. Her insights into what players needed to do and team strategies was on point. It was obvious that she played the game, and at a high level. I'd listen to her again any time.

UConn 86 TN 67 MOV 19

There are a couple of bright spots, IMHO, and they both involve dogs. The first is Progressive, whose ads involving Flo and company have gotten a little stale. Their new one "It's the dog park," I find to be really funny and (as a regular dog park-goer) really real. No message except they now...
