Yeah, I felt disconnected a bit during the tournament his year too for some reason. I had season tickets, went to most games and some of the OOC ones, and didn't miss any on TV, I was fully invested in our team. It just felt like some of the "magic" was gone from the tournament this year, even...

I just keep envisioning Landrew as a Kevin Freeman type, an undersized but tough as nails PF but with more skill.

To be fair, more than half this board were adamant all year that there was 0% chance that he would return if he were a projected 1st round pick.

I wonder if we'll see Karaban in the stands catching any games next year.

Blood is bluer on the other side. Freaking awesome line. I wish they were able to get some play on Brotherhood in there too.

Is it ridiculous that this is almost as much fun as beating Duke in the tournament?

Maybe he does, but I'm not convinced. I would have read those same tea leaves and made the same leap. I don't think it was a risky claim for him to make, low risk high reward for claiming credibility.

This is what I would like to see as well. Someone like Millender who would be fine being the 2nd backup, but is competent to be the 1st backup if needed. If we ever want to have any retention of freshmen again, we are going to have to find a way to play them. We can't just always pull in...

Not at all. I was really impressed with him in the MSU exhibition where he played a lot of minutes. If he were asked to play 10 min a game, I think he would suprised everyone.

Exactly. This was the way it was done for years. I don't buy thay you need 2 experienced/transfer starter level players at every position like so.many seem to expect. If County is a legitimate PG prospect (and not just a 2G with some handling skills), then I hope we get a Millander type as...

No, but you can define and regulate what NIL really is, cap what the schools can directly provide, and restrict schools from any involvement in 3rd party NIL deals.

If people (you know who you are) can't appreciate players like Stewart and are glad he's gone thinking he's not "UConn caliber", then you deserve the soulless version of college basketball that has been taking over in this transfer portal and NIL era. I on the other hand will support Hurley's...

With a few notable exceptions unfortunately.

He may not be a "UConn caliber" starter, but he absolutely is and has been a UConn caliber backup and teammate.

a) Then he and his camp were delusional if they thought he would get more playing time as Reed's backup. He's actually lucky he got as much as her did overall due to Reed injury. He ended up with almost as many minutes as Clingan behind Sanogo for godsakes b) Maybe, but the offense was...
