    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    He also looks a bit out of control and is getting pretty open looks thanks to ISU's defensive style. He'll see a much different look against us. Illinois' offense has a more one and one than I expected.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    AFAIK they haven't beaten a good team all year. I'm not overly concerned.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    Iowa State can't score and can't rebound, per SVG. I'm not sure they'd stay within 20 of us.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    What on earth is this double teaming ISU stuff? Leaving a guy like Shannon open certainly is a strategy.

    San Diego State Post Game Thread

    Castle is going to be a top 5 pick and possibly the top American prospect selected. His physical profile, his IQ, his defense, and his intangibles are crazy for a true freshman. His willingness to fit into a system and put his ego aside shows maturity beyond his years. That drive when he...

    OT: Gavin Griffiths Question

    Least surprising news ever. He will probably be begging Hurley to come to Storrs.

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    If Karaban leaves I wouldn't be stunned if Solo was our leading scorer next year. This of course depends on who we bring in with the portal, but Solo is oozing with potential. He has the skills, the athleticism, and the toughness to be a great player. That said, he's definitely not a point guard.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

    For the #4 KenPom team I'm not particularly impressed with ISU.

    Dumb play for some Ivy kids.

    Why the hell did Auburn foul there?

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

    This is a B/B+ game from Yale, Auburn is shooting 54% from the floor, and it's going to go down to the wire.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

    Yeah, I think our execution and smarts are really going to shine against them. Wolf looks like Troy Murphy with that schnozz.

    Not really concerned with Auburn either. They're a good team but we'll have to have a pretty miserable night to lose to them.

    Who's Been Tampering...?

    I'm sure Corey Floyd Jr., among others.

    Who do you fear?

    No team, just foul trouble, a cold shooting night, and a hot opponent.

    Marquette Post Game Thread

    Ice cold first half. Subpar games from Spencer, Karaban, and Castle and we still won by 16. This team is surreal. On par with 1996 and 1999 as far as dominant seasons heading into the Big Dance. Feels great earning the #1 overall seed for the first time in program history. Loved seeing Newton...

    I’ll go there

    Tough call. As a whole I feel the talent level in college basketball was much higher in 2004. We had six future 1st rounders on that team including four lottery picks and the #2 and #3 overall picks. The current team is such a machine and has a cohesiveness unlike anything we've ever seen at...

    We looked pretty blah and shot it poorly and still won by 27. On to the next one.

    Devin Carter is the Big East Player of the Year

    Newton led the best team in Big East history in points, rebounds, and assists and didn't win the conference POY. How on earth?

    Newton wrapped up Big East POY today

    For years BE POY was essentially "best player on the best team"--unless there was a runaway, undeniable winner--but of course once we're finally in that situation it'll go to someone with better individual statistics. I'm confident Newton will not win the award.

    OT: Gavin Griffiths Question

    I asked about him recently and I guess Rutgers' offense is one of the worst in the country and no one can create looks for Griffiths. He can't create his own offense and their stuff doesn't create open looks either, so he's kinda screwed. Plus some freshman jitters or growing pains or whatever...

    James Bouknight Released

    Thibs hates young guys as is, let alone ones with maturity issues. Not to mention being home in NYC would be horrible for Bouk. The Knicks are probably the last place he'd benefit from going.

    Danny Wolf: Transfer target?

    Right. Who knows? I didn't watch that game and it was the second game of the season before he broke out so it's not like the Zags were scheming to take him away. Hopefully Yale makes the tourney and plays a power conference team in the opening round.

    Danny Wolf: Transfer target?

    He's a righty, just very good around the rim with his left.

    Danny Wolf: Transfer target?

    Yeah, really the only knock is that Princeton didn't have a guy over 6'7 on the floor. Yale only played one top team in Gonzaga and Wolf didn't score.

    Danny Wolf: Transfer target?

    I saw him vs Princeton last weekend and was stunned when I looked him up to see he's 7' 255 lb and averaged 2 & 2 as a freshman. I assume he was either overweight or out of shape as a freshman. His skill set is impressive and a perfect fit for us. He was dribbling behind his back, changing...

    Week of 1/29 Other games

    I was looking at box scores this morning and just remembered that Gavin Griffiths exists. He's really struggling at Rutgers. That has to be frustrating for that fanbase given he's their highest ranked recruit in eons. Kid seemed like the perfect fit our offense/program. He went to Rutgers...

    February - Checking in on old friends

    I didn't know Akok was at WVU now. Hard to keep track of all the movement these days. Seems crazy that Springs isn't putting up bigger numbers at Quinnipiac.

    NBA Bound Stephan

    I am most surprised at how passive he is. Maybe he's not comfortable with his knee yet but he wasn't exactly aggressive before the knee injury. You can see the flashes of potential though. A 6'6" athletic playmaker will not slide out of the lottery. I fear it may be another Drummond situation...

    Luxury Watches

    It's human nature. I work in technical sales and wouldn't dream of dressing as casually as most do these days. I never wear a tie but I have a sport coat on most days. It matters. You don't have to wear expensive clothes but at least look professional in a coherent, well-fitting outfit.

    Luxury Watches

    I have a late 60s Omega Seamaster DeVille as my daily wear. I love the thing. Smaller watches (34-38mm) are where it's at. I wear a Hamilton Khaki Automatic (38mm) off the clock.
