    February UConn in the Pros

    When Castle was coming out of high school he played mostly below the rim. He was a good athlete was more known for his positional size, passing, smooth play. Now he’s one of the better players above the rim in the league. I wonder what he did in the gym off the court.

    Best defensive player ever @ UConn and then in the NBA

    It’s Donovan Clingan. The primary reason we won those back to back championships was bc we could just have him on the court and he would erase everything inside the free throw line. Now he’s already a top 5 defensive big in the league in his 2nd year. It’s not his stats it’s just the space...

    February UConn in the Pros

    This Spurs team is just insanely stacked. 11 to 1 to win the title on sport books right now seems like a solid bet.

    OT: Darryn Peterson

    To be fair he shouldn’t even be in college. It looks like a starting pro playing against college kids.

    OT: Darryn Peterson

    Everyone is criticizing this kid but you almost have to almost respect what he’s doing, right? He scores a quick 20+ at a remarkably efficient clip, without ever passing the ball, before he pulls himself from the games. Has anything similar to this ever happened before?

    The XL Center is now People's Bank Arena. *nm*

    Once it changes names 4+ times we should just revert to the original name, it’s the civic center.

    OT: 7-foot-9 Olivier Rioux gives football a try at Florida

    I never understood why football teams didn’t roster an extremely tall athlete, there’s so many uses. Football is a game of mismatches. A 6’10+ NBA style athlete could be used in multiple ways; blocking field goals(ball crosses line @ 8-11 ft off the ground), block distance punts, catch lob...

    Harper vs Edgecombe.

    Friends and I had a heated debate tonight, so I thought it would be a good topic. Who makes the better pro?

    Tom Thibodeau is out as head coach of the Knicks (Merged threads)

    Unnerving that Danny hasn’t given some kind of coach k type answer about sticking with the program for the foreseeable future no matter what opens. I suspect he just wants to use it as leverage in future contract negotiations. But I also think he will make the jump when he’s 60+.

    Tom Thibodeau is out as head coach of the Knicks (Merged threads)

    Feels like it’s Jay Wright with all the Nova players on the roster.

    Alec Millender commits to UConn

    Literally a practice body. I don’t think Coach Hurley agreed w the scholarship extension. It’s hard to fill out a 15 man team. You have to find 3-4 kids that are willing to come in and be a practice bodies, take no money while their teammates make 6-7 figures. It ruins the dynamic.

    2026 Recruiting: Trey Thompson offer

    Staff once again ahead of the curve, or maybe triggered the curve? Kid has picked up a bunch of offers from high majors last 24 hours.

    2026 Recruiting: Cole Cloer offer

    Hurley has a thing for players who frequently use a jump stop. It’s like his favorite move.

    What’s the loudest you’ve ever heard Gampel?

    Interested to hear from people who attend all the games. I attended pretty much every home game from 2004-2015, but moved out of state so I’ve only seen a handful of games at Gampel the last 10 years. With that in mind for me it was either Shabazz hitting the buzzer beater vs Florida in 2014 or...
