https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39967961/virginia-law-allows-schools-pay-athletes-nil Universities shamelessly shot themselves in the foot by trying to pretend the $6k - $10k stipends they were giving were there to support athletes. Then congress passed a law forcing schools to...

@Fishy @kobebeanbryant Fishy posted this and I wanted to respond to him and Kobe: Define serious money. I have extended family who have their kids in sports and they’re traveling out of state every month. I have been to games and watched their kids play and I think they are being sold a bill...

51-1 in the OOC. But only 40-18 in the BE Regular season. Any ideas on what can account for early and late season dominance? This is not a fluky stat. It's tested over 3 separate seasons. Dominate non-BE teams.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

From ESPN headline this morning: "What we learned: DJ Burns Jr., Zach Edey have come to rep the big men"

"We want to try to score 100," he said. "We want to run and get turned in the open court. ... We get easy baskets that way. We're not afraid to run with anybody." https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/uconn-on-record-setting-ncaa-tournament-pace-for-second-straight-year-dangerous-illi

Last year the knock on UConn is that they come out of nowhere and win every once in a while but that otherwise they lose early in the tourney or don't even make the tourney at all. In the last 35 years, UConn has made the Elite 8 quite a few times: Most Elite 8s since 1990: 1. Kentucky 16 2...

Watching this sad game and wondering why Joe Lunardi loved Boise St and why was he so impressed by them. He said they should be an 8. Yet here's their schedule: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/68/boise-state-broncos Lots of losses OOC and they did OK in their weak...

This board has a not small amount of people showing disdain for the mojo. Think twice about dishonoring it. UConn is about to go through a murderer's row of teams. All the capable teams are in our bracket, while North Carolina and Purdue are in brackets full of pretenders. There are actually...

OK, I used to go to Ron's Place, Rudy's, the Grotto, Toad's Place, I've been to Tune Inn and the Moon. There's the Coliseum, of course. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. Now, my real reason for starting this thread: friends and I are having a little disagreement about a club in the 80s located on Center...

This is a '27 recruit. While Apostolos is still around, we may need him to get into this 14 year old's ear about UConn:

Apparently, UConn has hired the same consulting firm / hatchet men that West Virginia recently used, which ended in a colossal PR hit and failure for WVs administration. There's a heck of a lot of noise that UConn is about to go down a very dark road academically.

Emeka as always is incredibly impressive. He honed in on what makes the UConn program special not by speaking platitudes you've come to expect in such interviews, but by pointing out the people in the program and specifically detailing what they bring to the whole thing. It needs to be recorded...

1st team: C Andre Drummond F Cliff Robinson F Rudy Gay G Ray Allen G Rip Hamilton 2nd team: C Emeka Okafor F Donyell Marshall F Caron Butler G Ben Gordon G Kemba Walker Honorable Mention: Scott Burrell, Toby Kimball, Jeremy Lamb, Charlie Villaneuva, Kevin Ollie, Jake Voskuhl Pretty easy to...

Think about U. of F. spending a total of $700m on facilities in the last several years. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/37953173/florida-takes-first-step-400-million-swamp-makeover This is a massive amount of money being bonded by the academic side. I'm not saying that the AD...

I didn't realize this so this thread started by me asking why. ONE MORE EDIT SINCE I CAN'T DELETE: What happens if UConn produces a Hall of Famer who doesn't get taken in the lottery? Still not on the wall?

I don't understand but whatever. Also I think MLS should just do what NASL did and blow the roof off with big signings of players in their prime.

In the last 25 years? (Has to be at least 50 attempts taken in the last 10 seconds).

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/29/sports/ncaabasketball/uconn-adama-sanogo-ramadan.html?smid=tw-share One suggestion for UConn's coaches and trainers: Can Sanogo room with Samson Johnson for the next few days?

Kentucky 14 North Carolina 13 UConn 11 Duke 11 Kansas 10 Pretty impressive to see UConn with so many Elite 8s, especially given the relatively low seeds we've received for not playing in one of the top conferences (ACC, B1G, B12, SEC).

Just realized today that there's one player who I almost never see discussed on this board. A player who was a key to one of the four championships. Occasionally people will mention Jake Voskuhl, Josh Boone, Tyler Olander or Niels Giffey here, but the player I'm thinking of -- who is almost...

It's going to be FAU/FDU versus Tennessee. Serves the committee right. You served up a huge dud for the greatest arena in the world. Congratulations.

Here's my bracket: UConn over Duke 82-68 https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2023/en/entry?entryID=74108570

1. Sanogo > Adrien when it comes to low post moves; Adrien a better defender; both good rebounders 2. Hawkins = Dyson. Hawkins is a better outside shooter, but Jerome was no slouch outside himself. Dyson was a much better driver to the hoop, though both are reckless. Dyson a better defender...

I was in Chicago for this game with some colleagues. We sat outside at a bar as it was unseasonably warm for March in Chicago. I knew a couple of them well, but others I had just met, they were huge college basketball fans. I was totally relaxed and making cracks this entire game, and they...
