The last time I said anything about an instate player, I ended up with a few hundred eggs on my face. If the kid is the real deal, he fits in with the program, Hurley wants him, then go after him. With the portal a big deal now, it would not be a big deal if he doesn't pan out. Oh yes, I saw...

Duke has the top recruiting class coming in, headlined with national POY Cooper Flagg. My question is; Will they be 24-25 champion in waiting? All of those 4 and 5 star recruits look impressive on paper, but an old sage once said that the game is not played on paper. A number of current players...

I did see 1 mock draft having DC going 5 and Edey going 10 or 11. Oh please I can't have this draft nonsense until June. I'm already burned-out with NFL draft craziness.

I'm with you. The 63-64 that beat Princeton and Bill Bradley with Toby Kimball, Dom Perno,et.al. 64-65, Toby, Wes, Spider Hesford, Holowaty, The Dream Season that nearly beat Duke, 99-2000 Champs, 04 with Okafor, and the others. Fan since 1960.

OK now here's a thought. Go out and purchase a hundred or so blow up dolls, fill them up with helium, then when the eclipse begins release all of them and watch the craziness. People will think it's the Rapture and will lose their minds

Do you think that Karaban will be staying?

I'm not sure about Purdue's depth, but we are a running pressuring team. If we can do better from 3 point land, than last night, we may be able to wear down Purdue. Edey is going to get his point, regardless. What we must do is make sure that the other 4 don't help him out. It kind of reminds of...

with a scheduled 9:20 pm EDT, and probably a 9:30 or so tip off, it's a given that the game will not get over until well after midnight. I realize that the game is in Phoenix, western time zone, and there is a time difference, but this is the National Championship game. There will be a lot of...

The lineup will be what it will be. Let's just hope that there will not be as many injuries this year as in the past, so we'll be able to argue and consider the different lineup possibilities.

Think on this. UC-Bama is game 2. A lot will depend on who win's game 1. If Purdue wins, as is expected, then many (i.e. the betting public, media, NCAA, et. al.) will be hoping for the "HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH". The Zach Edney return story, the Purdue "Redemption" tour, and UCONN'S chance at back...

NAILED IT. You hit it dead square. Yes, it's a business. Whether it's football, basketball, baseball, hockey or soccer. If UCONN won, and faced South Carolina instead of Iowa facing, SC, how much LESS MONEY would be bet on that finals game? Watch that finals game, and watch how the game is being...

This call like many others, in countless games, across ALL SPORTS, is just an indication that the level of officiating has deteriorated. The questions we have to ask is WHY IS IT? Is it the fact that players have gotten so big, fast, and powerful, that officiating is not able to keep up? Is it...

Is there another Joey "California", Cam Spencer type player in the portal?

Just an FYI, before DC, Sanogo, Emeka, Thabeet, Toby Kimball, et.al., there was another rebounding machine. Admittedly I never saw him, but the numbers don't lie. Art Quimby, from Bulkley high in New London (now closed) still holds rebounding records for rebounds for a single game (40), single...

OK, . Many of us go back to the days of the Field House, even some of you go back further to Hawley Armoury. 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and halfway into the 2020's. The big men that wore the CONNECTCIUT UNIFORM are many, and impressive. Let's hear your choices. 10 is not enough...

I am still eating my extra large portion of "HUMBLE PIE". Nearly 2 years ago, I didn't think this kid was going to be the talent that he is today. I can recall.............clearly, that my thought was he was overweight, played in a mediocre high school conference, and didn't look "ready" Yeah...

Being one of, probably a few, who has never seen Curb, I really don't get this character. Is it this generations "Seinfeld"?

FWIW, I did have some concerns as the game got out of hand. Did anyone else notice, that Illinois got a little chippy, as UC was blowing them out? The double tech, the undercutting of Karaban on the breakaway. It was a good thing that he hung on the rim, AND the zebras did not call a technical...

...........Just kidding here, but the results are going to be the same.

Well, so much for complaining about the NCAA committee giving us a "Bad Draw". 2 games in NYC, 2 games in Boston. In 64 years of following College basketball in general, and UCONN in particular I've never seen a 2nd half like tonight's game. In some ways it reminded me of the way the UCLA...

Your comparison of Shaq, Olajawon, and Parish with Edney is "apple's and oranges". Different era's. Totally different game, it's like comparing George Mikan with Wilt.

Why UConn football should join the MAC - NewsBreak According to 1 NBA scout, he feels that Purdue big man Zach Edney's talent may not translate to the NBA game. Yes, he's 7-4, yes he moves well, however can he move fast enough to cover big men like KD, Yannis, and other 5s? Not sure. Why am I...

Someone in the Calcatera-Spencer category, and a "big" to replace Donavan.

In my wildest dreams, never thought Yale would take down Auburn. Makes our path to final 4 a little easier. Sir Charles Barkley must be beside himself on CBS panel. His beloved SEC is self-imolating themselves. No problem, it spring football season down there anyway.

Oh let's pour out a billion dollars for a building that not everyone will go to, in a crime ridden, corrupt city, just to placate a minority number of people. They never should have rebuilt it after the roof collapse in 78. I am a BIG NO. Play all the games in Storrs.

1 question. Did she get the shot? I ask this, because of the number of people who did, many developed this issue, and during the Covid years, there were a number of studies linking the heart issues with the shot. Of course the mainstream media did their best to keep that quiet, but the...

For those of who have had an issue with who's in our bracket, my advice is this. We are not playing the #2, 3, and 4 teams in sucessive order. We play #16, then, if/when we advance it's either the 8 or 9 seed. Let's also not forget that rounds 1 & 2 are in NYC, so, in essence it's almost home...

Was GT in ACC or SEC when Cremins was coach. Back in the 70's, SC, GT, Clemson, bounced back and forth between ACC and SEC. I do recall that Cremins did play under Frank McGuire @ SC. Little known fact was that SC team was, at one time, ranked #1, but because they lost the ACC tournament, they...

Technically AL McGuire was not a BE coach. Neither was Ray Meyer. His son Joey may have been a BE, coach, however I think he was gone when DePaul entered the BE. The ACC did have several legendary coaches. Coach K, Dean Smith, Lefty Drisell, Frank McGuire (at both UNC, & South Carolina) OH yes...

Who "should" we fear? Anybody after the first 2 games. Last year did "anybody" fear us? It's the tournament. A team can get hot, like we did last year, and run the table. You can have a terrible night, and be upset, injuries can crop up, the list is endless. So buckle up, it may be a bumpy...

It's sad to see the demise of what had been the premiere west coast conference in basketball, baseball, football, and track. Many stars, HOF members, politicians, Olympians, and trailblazers came from the PAC(8) later PAC-12. The names are who's who in the pantheon of sports. Some can go back...

I have to disagree. Early 2000s, was more than 2 decades ago. Training, health, etc has changed dramatically. Do I think it's a conspiracy? No, but calling it "bad luck, mojo etc, is not a reasonable explanation.

I'm an old man, so my favorites are the classics. White Christmas Holiday Inn It's a wonderful life Miracle on 34th Street Although it's technically not a Christmas movie ala DIE Hard, Going My Way's climatic scene takes place on Christmas eve, so I call it one.

Tried watching it twice, for some reason couldn't continue. Will have to make it next year.

Yes they are.
