    NBA - new CBA will not include prep-to-pro revision. Current format stays put.

    Relevant to the recruiting landscape: there was plenty of noise over the past few years that the NBA would loosen its restrictions and let players go from HS straight to the league again, but the current format is staying in place for a long time. Players can still go the Ignite route but cannot...

    End of Season Musings

    A frustrating season, from COVID to how it ended, but it's great to be back in the Big East. It was Year 2 with Hurley's players. One was ended early by COVID, the other was this bizarre COVID-shortened season. This remains a work in progress. The program still had a lot of mid-major talent...

    Pace - 285th Nationally

    Looking at previews for tonight's game I noticed we're 285th in the country in pace. That puts us in the 12th percentile, one of the slowest teams in America. Not ideal. I am not surprised by this as our motion offense has largely involved passing the ball around the perimeter for 20 seconds...

    It's been a decade...

    ...since we've had a powerhouse, wire-to-wire great team. The 77-74 thread motivated me to take a stroll down memory lane. As crazy as it is that it's been 20 years since that great night in Florida, it's just as crazy that it's been a full decade since we've had a truly great team. The...

    WTNH - Fate of XL Center uncertain as possible sale explored

    Fate of XL Center uncertain as possible sale explored One of the most hotly debated topics over the years - us playing at the dreaded XL/HCC and cries for every game to be at Gampel - may become a reality. Personally, I doubt it will close but it's a development to keep an eye. Our current...

    OT: Knicks

    After a dreadful 0-3 start the Knicks have won three straight, including two by double figures. They still won't be a playoff team but may not be picking in the Top 5 next June like many anticipated. Offense looks good and the defense magically picked up three games ago. Some good chemistry...

    OT - NBA Draft

    Goes down tomorrow night. The first three picks sound set in stone despite the Porzingis-to-Philly rumors. After the top three this draft should be a complete mess, I do not envy anyone drafting in the 4-12 slot. My sure-to-be-wrong thoughts... Mudiay seems like he'll be an average NBA point...

    Nike's latest iteration of CBB uniforms (Zona), guessing we're on the list...

    Nike has used Arizona as the launch school for their next generation of uniforms, Nike Elite Fit 2.0. They don't look all that different from the current HyperElite stuff but the details and material are probably different. Kinda a shame, I thought Arizona had by far the best HyperElite...

    Our Big 3 that we envisioned coming into the season has finally come to fruition...

    ...and is as deadly as an trio in the nation. Coming into this season we talked about the trio of Bazz, Boat and Daniels leading us back to the Final Four. Boat and Daniels had up and down regular seasons and didn't make much of a statistical jump from last season. But that's all changed in...

    OT - Kentucky vs Louisville

    Thoughts and predictions on this one? I'm interested to see how this one plays out. UK's guards have played much better the last two weeks and as a whole that's made them quite a bit more formidable. They played Florida to the wire in the SEC title game. They seem to have cut down on their...

    Refs missed Kilpatrick travel with :15 left?

    Not sure if this was discussed (guessing it was) - was out at the bar and not sober last night so I couldn't tell from the replays but it look like Kilpatrick clearly traveled on the baseline before kicking it out for the three that cut our lead down to one. Watching the ESPN highlights this...

    OT/Throwback - Did we recruit Brooks Sales?

    A buddy & I were discussing in-state talent that didn't go to UConn. We couldn't remember the deal with Sales. Did we recruit him at all or was there no interest? Looking back, we only had one scholarship freshman when he was coming out of HS and that was Justin Brown. He had a decent career...

    Ben Gordon messed with MJ, did not end well.

    Today the Bobcats waived Gentle Ben, about 13 hours after the deadline for playoff eligibility - meaning he can't go run off and sign with a contender like so many other waived/bought-out players do this time of year (well he can technically sign, just can't play in the postseason). Apparently...

    Going to be one empty arena tonight, UH avgs 2,900 fans...

    Per Borges... Is this going to be the first UConn game in decades with < 2,000 people in attendance? Not counting the island tournament we played in a hotel ball room a few years ago. More die-hard fans, when's the last time we had such a small crowd? I think we played at Rice in 2004...

    Semi-OT - This year's ESPN "Big Monday" schedule

    This is gross, I don't think I'll watch a single one of these contests. Damn it, college football... Big Monday 2014 January 13 7 p.m. Virginia at Duke 9 p.m. Kansas at Iowa State January 20 7 p.m. North Carolina at Virginia 9 p.m. Baylor at Kansas January 27 7 p.m. Duke at...

    Drummond on front of SI.com...more praise.

    This stuff doesn't get old. Direct link: http://nba.si.com/2013/04/11/nba-surprises-kobe-bryant-tim-duncan-rockets/?eref=sihp On the opposite end of the NBA life cycle is the 19-year-old Drummond, a “project” who turned out to be more NBA-ready than most everyone imagined. Drummond came...

    OT - Cal beats us to the punch, unveils their new "more aggressive" logo

    I guess we aren't the only school "upgrading" to a more fierce logo, but hopefully ours turns out better than theirs. Maybe a hint of what we can expect next week. http://college-football.si.com/2013/04/10/cal-bears-new-logo/

    OT: Arizona loses exhibition to DII school

    Yes, it was an exhibition game and yes it means nothing, but still damn funny. 69-68 to Seattle-Pacific. Maybe they can ask Cuse for tips on how to respond?

    New uniforms?

    Since the aerographic on the back of the 10-11 jerseys had a star for the '99 and '04 title we are obviously in need of some updating - at least regarding that graphic. :D I also noticed that the shop on our official site took down all game jerseys and game shorts which they've never done in...
