    NBA not enthralled with Zach Edney

    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...

    Let's not worry about who's in the bracket.

    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...

    OK, time for a MAJOR MEA CULPA

    After watching the tourney run, and the play of freshman DC, and the prediction of Jay Bilas, and the coaching of Dan Hurley, I must make a MAJOR MEA CULPA. 1. This team is playing with a passion, togetherness, and class that I, along with some others did not see coming. 2. Donovan Clingan has...

    Live by the 3............Die by the 3

    Last nights game was a perfect example of the uncertainty of constant outside shooting. Hawkins and Jackson were throttled by Marquette's, while closing in on Sanogo, whenever he got the ball in the paint. Outstanding defensive plan by Shaka Smart. By contrast, UC's perimeter D had multiple...

    One word: PATHETIC

    I watced most of the game last night, switching between the Bruins, and Bama-LSU. What I saw last night was ineptitude, lack of effort, and out an out horrible play. Tulsa was not a power in the conference. NO, they were a one win team, and also with no wins in the conference. Yet, they looked...

    will cupboard be bare for next year?

    Just wondering, but who will be back next year. I realize Napier, Giffey, Olander, Crumah, graduate, assuming, now that with the NC ring, Boatwright, and Daniels may leave, and Calhoun may transfer. If so, that don't leave much to work with. Are there any remaining members of the 14 class who...

    Do we still get a #1 seed.

    After this loss, does UCONN still get one of the #1 seeds in the big dance. 2 are already filled. ND, and Baylor, with Baylor being the #1 overall. After that where does UCONN fall to. Granted 3 of the 4 losses were to ND, with the other being Baylor. The Huskies beat Stanford, and Duke, so that...

    Drummond will be an in NBA star in 4-6 years

    Well Andre Drummond is going to be leaving Storrs. This statement, in and of itself is no surprise. My point is that anyone who expects him to be an instant impact does not follow the past trials and tribulations of some other big men. Unless Andre is the next coming of Shaq, or Duncan or...
