Easy to overlook was SJ's performance in the monster game by Clingan. But SJ was big time and deserves a ton of credit for the job he did last night.

What a shutdown job performed by Castle and Diarra. Terrance Samuel "Jr" was averaging 31 plus p/g in the first 3 tourney games. 23 p/g, maybe in regular season. Castle and Diarra made it a street brawl tonight. They held the off-balanced shooting slasher to 8 for the night. Great job. Ricky...

Have the Patriots been modeling their offense after UConn. What is going on? Since Brady left, this region has been offensively underwhelming.

UConn must reach a level where it can score - preferably touchdowns. Yes, today was an enjoyable change of pace, but need to be able to outscore opponents.

UConn's decision to NOT play football in 2020 is, I believe, the correct decision, putting athlete's health first. But, I would have preferred that they were not the first program at tbe D-1 to do so. Watching ESPN this morning was painful (and embarrassing). They were basically saying that...

Where to begin: 1.) Please sit AG. And, if he somehow does get on the floor, do not allow him to shoot. Penetrate if you must , but kick it out. Do NOT under almost all conditions shoot, you don't make near enough. You are no Khalid, Kemba, Shabazz or Boatwright. 2.) Please do give Bouknight...

Pindell, as good a runner as he is and as essential to the otherwise inept UConn offense, is a poor passer. At this point in the season, let's see what the young QBs can do. There will be a new QB next season, let's have a clue whether that kid is already on campus or needs to be recruited.

With Temple threatening to snatch victory from UConn and approximately 24 seconds left, UConn's poor tackling paid dividends. The inability of someone to wrap the ball carrier alllowed him to go sideline to sideline and eat up a valuable 16 seconds running east to west. Left them with only 8...

CBS announcers giving props to Rutgers and Schiano about coaching up players for NFL. Pats have three DB's in tonight's game. And Mohammed Sunu had a pretty good game for Atlanta. So for all the bashing of Rutgers (and I dislike them strongly) and all the talk about HUSKIES in the NFL, UConn...

Next year, the OSU, how about you win your conference before showing up in the National Championship semi finals. Or at least win your division. Please dont ever, crash the party when you didn't earn it, no matter how much lobbying Kirk Herbsteit does on Game Day.

Of all the things to be upset with regarding the hire of RE, the way he left should not be one of them.So let's review that scenario one more time: 1. The University of Maryland, I'm sure wanted to "announce" Randy Edsall as their new head coach. They wanted to be the ones who broke the...

If Benedict "can't fire" BD because he is not gonna be allowed, the maybe we need to start calling for Susan H to be terminated. Maybe she needs to view this situation as . . . either he goes or she goes.

Lou Saban was interviewed about the election and his response was absolutely deplorable. If I heard him correctly (wish I had recorded it), he was TOO BUSY to vote last Tuesday, in fact, he didn't even realize it was Election Day. He had IMPORTANT WORK TO DO with Mississippi State taking the...

I would like to see Mr. Skinny Jeans get in people's faces and kick some behind on the sidelines, instead of prancing and flitting around on the sidelines, clapping his hands, patting players on the back, and acting like a cheerleader. He wants to coach "old school" (boring, conservative...

Two primary contributors: 1) Tackling . . . or total lack of tackling. It was really poor all night Mack and Flowers looked like men against boys, and too many times defenders had made contact only to have them take off for big gains. 2) BS locks on to one receiver and one receiver alone. Guys...

You get to pick 44 players (2 deep on offense and defense). You have to pick from 84 players (Houston and UConn) only. Come on now be honest, how many UConn players make the two deep on either side of the ball. I'm thinking UConn's best couldn't hold their own against Houston's second units...

Please, please let the Big 12 powers to be vote to NOT expand at this time. Houston, who looks like a national champion contender stays in AAC. Cincy who has our number in most sports and who has hustle appropriately to be included, stays on the sideline. UConn needs to retool in every way to...

Bobby-Boy shows once again why he needs to be fired immediately. UConn trying to slow Houston down makes a nice stop on first down, but Diggs want to get flagged (you wanna be a bad ass, do it before the whistle) for unnecessary roughness. And . . . a look to the side line shows Bobby-Boy...

Before Jim Calhoun had Big East Championship talent, before he had National Championship talent, he needed to find ways to be competitive against teams with better talent. His approach? Take kids who weren't getting offers from Syracuse, Georgetown, St John and Villanova, and press the hell out...

What is going on with HCBD? Seriously. Let's start with some basic haberdashery. It a beautiful late summer day, people applying and reapplying suntan lotion and there's Bobby-Boy D is a long sleeve t-shirt. And, WTF is up Bobby-Boy and his red pants? And his prancing and flitting up and down...

Since the UConn allowed Rutgers to score on an 81 yard TD pass with 22 seconds left for a 28-24. I remember feeling sick to my stomach that day. In fact I never saw the receiver actually cross the goal line. Just turned and walk out as he was approaching the 10 yard line. That was an awful...

Bob Diaco can proudly display the game ball on his bookshelf for outstanding contribution to today's Navy victory.

This game turn when A. Brimah once again showed he a liability to this team by not catching and dunking a pass late in the game that would have sealed the outcome. Close seconds in this disaster: unwillingness to defend against the three ((don't wanna hear about UConn good defense) and their...

The UConn community stands concerned about two missing grad students - from Cornell and SH. While D. Hamilton, R Purvis and Kenton Facey (of all people) try to get back in the game gainst Syracuse, the two grad students remain back in Connecticut preparing for finals (or maybe they're at the...

I have a question about Boeheim. I thought he was suspended for 9 games (or something like this)? WTF is he doing coaching this game? NCAA bylaws don't apply in Bahamas? He sucks, his program is dirty, and they crucified UConn a few years ago, but SU scares?

Today's game needs to be treated almost like playing for a national championship. First off, it's Syracuse and UConn "hates" the Cuse (that aggravating little nickname used by the SU legions of announcers). Secondly, the Orange is a dirty program that has been like that for years. Third it's a...

Big Boy College football in the year 2015 is all about scoring TDs. Quite often it includes TD passes. UConn will never be a decent player at this level until they figure out the offensive side of the LOS. This team can't run because they can't pass the ball. Receivers can't get open, they can't...

Where would this Notre Dame team be - not to mention the men's team - if they had to play as independents? College hoops is all about conferences (and conference tournaments). Imagine, if the Irish had to scrape together a basketball (or baseball or soccer) schedule as an independent. So...

The only positive news today was UConn baseball beating Michigan State. Don't give a darn that they also beat Furman and Upstate South Carolina. The only games that matter for UConn (or any of the AAC teams) are those against P5 teams or other name teams like BYU and Boise State in football...

So let's review the tape. The Ohio State DB makes a terrific INT in the end zone to close out the game . But . . . He then decides to run the ball out of the end zone, thereby giving Alabama life and a possible shot at winning (fumble, Bama scoops it up and takes it to the house, Tide wins it in...

Any chance that Daniels comes to his senses and withdraws name from draft? Why leave early to become a second round draft choice? Stay and become the player we saw on occasion (Michigan State & Florida) but on a more consistent basis. Become a legit 1st round pick (maybe lottery) next year. Why...

The NCAA tried to cripple this program. The Nate Miles sanctions, the academic penalties, the huge reductions in scholarships and the post season ban (screw you too BE for not backing the Huskies and at least letting them play in the conference tourney). That was probably Sysracuse and...

Just barely 4 months shy of the 20 year mark, UConn basketball has evened the score against Florida. TWENTY FLIPPIN YEARS! Finally the Huskies restored order to the universe. Back long before there was a Rentschler Field and UConn was a D1 football school, the Huskies were a big time...

This was exactly the type of game Randy's UConn teams would have won. Home game, somehow find yourself up by 14 points. They would not have imploded like this team. They'd have hung on. The key was having a 2 TD lead late in 3rd Quarter, much like Papa John Bowl.

That's it! Done! The scholarships loss from Nate Miles (a few phone calls about 8 years ago) and the APR (caused by an underachieving bunch about six seasons ago) tried to cripple a great program. No such luck. A National Championship and a gutsy season by a undermanned program pretty much...
