    Where do you rank Newton among UConn guard greats?

    2x national champion 2x championship game MOP 2x final 4 all-tournament AP All American BET champ BE reg season champ 1st team all BE He's UConn's most decorated guard in our storied program, but might still be underrated, somehow. He's been the "straw that stirs the drink" for this team the...

    Solo breakout

    Glad Solo finally saw the ball go in tonight. 5-8 from the field, 50% from 3. It felt like a game like this was coming for him. Beat reports said his shot was good, and it looked good, just wasn't dropping until tonight. Aside from his shot, he always plays within himself and never forces...

    Hurley's next contract

    By bringing home #5, Dan cemented himself as a perfect fit for UConn basketball. He's brought us back to prominence and his recuiting doesn't indicate that this will be a fluke 1 year performance. His teams have steadily improved year by year. The question now, is how do we manage an extension...

    Andre Jackson: “Now I want to get another one while I’m here… only way I’m not coming back is if Coach tells me to leave”

    If he's being told he's a first round pick, he should go. But him staying would be amazing.

    Appreciate this special group

    Tonight, win or lose, will be the last time we watch this team play together. This is the last 40 mins we have to watch this group of young men represent the University of Connecticut. I, for one, could not be more proud. Don't let the high stakes of this game take away your ability to take a...

    Officiating

    It's sour grapes to complain about officiating when your team loses, but since we won I'm gonna complain. Easily one of the most lopsided officiated games I've seen in Georgetown's favor. Jackson's "tech" was garbage, he looked at the bench and maybe said 1 word... seemed like the refs wanted...

    Deep and diverse

    This is a complete team. Sanogo and Hawkins were non-factors tonight, and we still won comfortably. 3 nights ago we set the record for most 3s made. 2 nights ago, Sanogo feasted. Tonight, Clingan was a beast with AJax. Karaban is contributing in various ways. Newton had a triple dub the...

    Karaban Caravan

    When's the last time we saw a freshman contribute the way that Karaban has... on a team as deep as this? He's starting, and has clearly earned Hurley's trust. Rightfully so. Great ball handler at the 4. Underrated vision and BBIQ. Great shooter from deep. Hits the glass well. Amazing on-ball...

    Probably not necessary to formally apologize, but I'm sure some posters here will stay on their high horse over a non-issue.

    Quick eats in Hartford

    Where does everyone get a quality quick bite to eat in Hartford? I used to make Woodys hotdogs my tradition before games... quick (depending on line) and delicious. But they've been closed for a few years now. What's everyone's quick and decent food options before the game tonight in Hartford?

    Hurley's Achilles heel

    Hurley is a great coach, and I firmly believe he's THE RIGHT GUY for our program long-term. Having said that, it's fair to discuss areas for improvement. For me, Hurley's biggest weakness, his "Achilles heel", is when the other team goes to a small line-up, as he ALWAYS feels compelled to match...

    Gaffney disappointing

    PG is the most important position in CBB... an extension of the coach on the floor. It's concerning we can't be confident in a Junior to manage back-up PG duties because of his lack of a handle, ball security, and decision-making. I love Gaff's shooting(3 pt and FT), defense, and ability to...

    Akok says he's 100%

    "Coaches they all see it everyday, and they say that I'm the same player, that I'm back. And I think so too". Great to hear from Akok himself. Because he was in-and-out of the lineup last year at less than 100%, I think folks here are quick to forget how great this kid can be and the impact he...

    UConn and Cuse fan?!

    Saw this car today. Someone help explain. My guess is a parent with kids who went to both schools. But it was a CT plate. Baffling to me.

    Embarrassing UConn "fans"

    I know social media in general is a cesspool. But the general "fan" reaction in the comments of Bouk declaring for the draft on the UConn Huskies facebook page is beyond discouraging and NOT a good look for the fanbase: "welcome to the D-league Bouknight. Big mistake. But good luck." "Big...

    Andre Jackson continues to impress

    While Bouknight will get most of the attention (rightfully so), Jackson has played really well since his own return from injury and it feels like he's turned a corner. Early in the year, Jackson struggled to find his role, pressing a bit too much as he adjusted to the college game. He struggled...

    Inability to handle pressure D

    This is the 3rd game in a row where the other team has been successful with a near full court pressure defense. By the time we got the ball past mid-court and got into our sets, there was only 10-15 seconds left on the shot clock. With that happening consistently, our guards play tentatively...

    Sanogo MIA?

    Someone help explain why Hurley had Sanogo ride the bench the whole end of the second half after he was dominant for the first few minutes of the second half. Not to mention, their guards drove into the paint at will in the second half with no rim protection... something Sanogo excels at when...

    Jackson?!

    Where was Jackson tonight? I get he's a frosh and that Martin has played solid, but he's too talented to not see the floor, especially when our offense got flat. The most disappointing thing was seeing Hurley trot out the same lineup in the second half when our offense was inept vs their zone...

    Happy for Polley

    So happy for Tyler. He has always been a knock-down shooter, which this team sorely needs. Had bad luck last year tearing his ACL just after he broke out and started showing his all-around game. And while Whaley stepped up last year with his minutes, the team still lacked a long-range shooter...

    RJ Cole

    He was great tonight. Did a little bit of everything. Hit some 3s, distributed, played great on-ball defense most of the night and ran the offense really well. Never would have known this was his first competitive game in almost 2 yrs. I think he's our Alpha PG. Gaffney is great, and I love...

    OT: battery powered outdoor equipment

    New(ish) homeowner here. I have been contemplating getting a chainsaw for some time, and my existing hand-me-down leaf blower just kicked the bucket. Considering getting a battery powered leaf blower/chainsaw that is operated by the same rechargeable battery pack. I know gas is better, and...

    Regression is concerning

    The team is supposed to improve throughout the year and yet we've managed to regress. Our offense, which was inconsistent at times, has become practically non-existent if the team isn't running with the ball on the break. If Carlton sees any physical play, he becomes a train wreck, missing...

    Trying to be optimistic

    Akok was the only guy who came to play. Everyone else played awful. Bad shots. Tons of turnovers. Couldn't grab a rebound to save our lives. No offensive flow outside of a 2 min stretch early. No breaks from the zebras all night. And yet we had a chance to win the game, somehow. That has to...

    Diverse and deep team

    While tonight's game wasn't perfect by any means (a few stretches of sloppiness leading to Iona runs), I actually feel better about the team overall. Why? This team has a lot of different weapons and has shown they can score and win in a variety of ways. Tonight, Adams and Bouk didn't do much...
