    Naming rights for XL Center expire; venue likely to change name in 2025.

    Stanley Black & Decker is one of largest employers in the state. Let’s hit them up. Call it The Stanley.

    Need a recommendation - scotch

    I would recommend Oban 14 or Balvenie 12. For something less well known, the Jura is fantastic

    Record Fundraising Year For UConn

    We are still WAY below where we should be and need to be...athletically and academically. Moving forward, post-covid, post-secondary education is going to be financially challenged more than ever. The State of CT will likely allocate less and less to UConn and alum are going to need to step up...

    2021 Recruiting: Rahsool Diggins virtual visit

    I see a slightly less athletic AJ Price. But seems to be smooth and under control at all times.

    Recruits attending tonight’s game

    Right...we sometimes forget that not everything is a signal to be interpreted. Agree with BizLawyer...he's a teenager being invited to a fun/exciting CBB double header at the Garden. He likely agrees to go whether he is considering UConn or not.

    Hurley mentions Possible Starting Lineup Change

    We've been through this.....scroll up dude.

    Hurley mentions Possible Starting Lineup Change

    Agree, Gilbert been underperforming, but lacks a logical replacement. CV underperforming and the best player on the team is his backup. Make the move Dan.

    Hurley mentions Possible Starting Lineup Change

    Sure Bouk's sample size is small, but if we are correcting, then remove the 7 steals that Vital got vs Sacred Heart and suddenly he's not longer tops in the nation. Bouk passes the eye test and the advanced metrics test. He makes smarter decisions with the ball and is only a Frosh. I'm not...

    Hurley mentions Possible Starting Lineup Change

    CV's TS% this year is 51%...mostly due to poor shot selection. He's a senior...this shouldn't be an issue any longer. BA is 66%, TP 61%, Bouk is 70%. All much more efficient. As for rebounding, it's not the volume, it's more about positioning. He's not battling bigs for rebounds, he's often...

    You do realize there is a correlation between minutes played and statistics....right? On a per 40 minute basis Bouk is averaging 30 pts, 10 rebounds and 2.2 steals vs Vital at 19 pts, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals. The answer is obvious.....

    You do realize Vital is NOT an efficient scorer and he doesn't grab that many contested rebounds. Bouknight can rebound just as well (given the minutes) and is already a more well rounded scorer. You lose nothing by replacing Vital with Bouk...it's a net positive. Let Vital feast on 2nd teamers.

    Hurley mentions Possible Starting Lineup Change

    Why? Hurley benched him last year....and we have more talent this year. Not sure his decision making has improved all that much. He's shooting 36% from the field. What does he add that Bouknight doesn't?

    Hurley mentions Possible Starting Lineup Change

    The answer is obvious. Start Bouk and bring CV off the bench. He can chuck versus the opponents 2nd team, add a spark and likely be more efficient and effective.

    Looking good for Javonte

    This is such a classic hedge, I actually laughed out loud. So....Huskies are my pick and I will take credit if it's UConn, but Aggies were making up some ground so I'll take credit for that if he picks A&M.

    All quiet on Javonte Brown Ferguson

    I believe it's called reflecting...something that doesn't seem to occur much in teens today because of unlimited access to devices and social media. Maybe he just wants to think through what is likely the most important decision in his life to date. wow....do I ever sound like my father...
