Similar story. I too was at that Papa John's bowl back in the day, and we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for a quick dinner the next night on our way out of Alabama. Our server saw us all decked out in our UConn gear and said that his cousin went to UConn and he had became a UConn fan too and...

Can anyone save me from the pain of having to listen to a full Pitino interview and let me know where in the video they talk about UConn so I can go directly to that clip? ;)

Feels like today is essentially an NCAA tournament play-in game. The winner of UConn-Xavier is in and the loser is looking at a long Selection Monday with a likely disappointing outcome. While the goal is obviously a BE Championship, I wonder if Penders will play take it as an all or nothing...

This St Johns hype is unbearable. St Johns has not played in a single Sweet 16 game this century. Their hype train needs to pump the breaks here a bit before they come after the program with 6 time National Championships since their last S16 game. I am going to enjoy watching next year's St...

He made a choice that he valued Coach hugs and frat boy love over Championship culture and NBA development. This shouldn't be a surprise. I'd take the championship ring and elite coaching myself...but he will always have that "Duke Brotherhood" patch on his letterman jacket at the Duke...

If Scheyer couldn’t win with the once-in-a-generation talent Flagg and the embarrassment of talent on this roster…have to think he will never win one. Couldn’t happen to a better program. ACC is in trouble when your lead coaches are Scheyer and Davis. Gotta love it! Maybe Flagg will be so...

Dang, Cronin must have promised him the pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow.:D

I’d personally chip in for his NIL if he chooses Xavier. :D

Obviously no one is surprised by this news. But I have a feeling he will have a lot of success with another program. Keep this in mind...the UConn offense is very hard to master and it is difficult for a young PG to get to the point where he isn't "thinking" about what needs to be done and is...

Coaches called an incredible game. Almost pulled it off. Just couldn’t make our open shots and gave away too many possessions in the last 5 minutes. We had this one, just couldn’t close it out. But Hurley and coaches were masterful in this one.

There has to be some back story on this that we may never hear. I watched Pitinos post game press conference and the questions and answers around Luis were very awkward. Pitino was very annoyed and shifty when asked about him a few times. One time he was asked about not having him at the...

Horrible penalty call. That was BS.

That was an impressively smart play. He essentially just plopped himself down on the ice right at the crease and used his body as a backboard to bank the layup shot off of. Even more impressive if that was a designed play.

I agree, NDWH will not be playing against the La Lumiere's or Montverde's. But they will be playing against other high profile teams similar to NDWH with similar high level talent and be in the same events with the elite "Basketball Factories" . So he will be able to face elite prospects who...

If we win tonight, there is an actual possibility of this being our Regional: 1. UConn 2. Minnesota 3. Denver 4. Penn St Could you imagine if that actually happens? Being in a Regional against all three of our elite Transfer Portal deserters? Matthew Wood (Minnesota), Samu Salminen (Denver)...
