    Anyone else notice this similarity to last year

    I never said that Castle and Andre are the same type of player. I said Newton and the UConn offense was less effective last year when Andre dominated the ball, and Newton and the UConn offense is less effective this year when Castle is dominating the ball. The team’s offense is much more fluid...

    Anyone else notice this similarity to last year

    Or maybe the offense is just better when a guy who cannot shoot and struggles to drive is not handling the ball a majority of the time during a set. It would seem that Castle would be an excellent candidate to be running around screens, and cutting toward the basket, but when he’s not standing...

    Anyone else notice this similarity to last year

    Last year Newton and UCONN were excellent at the beginning of the year. At that time Newton was running the show and Andre was hurt and/or playing minimal minutes coming back. Then, Andre came back and was on the ball a lot, and Newton's play immediately took a big step back, and we struggled a...

    Hurley / McDermott Post Game

    This comment made me think. Last year Newton and UCONN were excellent at the beginning of the year. At that time Newton was running the show and Andre was hurt or playing minimum minutes. Then, Andre came back and Newton went south, and we struggled a bit until Hurley finally put Andre off the...

    13 Regular Season Games Left.

    I don't see him 'busting out' offensively this year. He's great defensively and we are lucky to have him, but he's EXTREMELY limited on offense. I hope the team realizes this and we avoid future games like last night where he's taking a significant volume of the team's perimeter shots. Last...

    UConn -12.5

    Wherever it was, it probably should have been 73.9 vs 64.3

    Maybe im dumb so could someone explain?

    Ask Shabazz Napier. Same thing

    Random thoughts from last night...

    1. Great game by 2 quality teams. Both teams played hard, but Marquette did seem to have a slight edge in the 'hunger factor' last night. UConn definitely has more talent, but Marquette just seemed to come out a little quicker and more confident and focused than we did. While the outcome of...

    Joey Calcaterra commits to UConn - San Diego transfer

    Newton is a senior this year????? I guess he is. Wow. Thought he was only going to be a junior

    Big 12 expansion and Uconn

    I know this will never happen, but what I'd like to see is a shift to geographic divisions and get back to regional rivalries. You take the 81 or so schools that are in power/semi-power conferences, and group them into 8 divisions something like below. Each division has 10 teams resulting in 9...

    OT: Greatest play in school history

    It wasn't Tate or Rickey, but Ray's off balance shot to win the Big East Championship was pretty special too.

    And there's little doubt, Chief is definitely 'special.' Confirmed.

    Game thread?

    Yup... single coverage and the receiver ran right by the corner.

    Game thread?

    Already in FG range... how can you let someone get behind you with no time left? If there's one time to give some cushion, and it seems we do it more often than not...that's it. You can't get beat deep for the TD at that point. Just keep the play in front of you. Not smart football.

    Maybe we belong in the AAC

    If we don't belong in the P5, neither does Syracuse. I didn't see them being a superior team to us, yet they are P5. No one is saying they don't belong. No one is saying Virginia doesn't belong. You could argue UConn dominated most of the Syracuse game. Syracuse had one player we could not...

    PG Question

    Agree, that'd be better than RB at point
  23. U

    PG Question

    It got progressively worse when we took the ball out of our All American PG's hands and played him off the ball; relying on RB to play point. RB has a lessor handle and doesn't pass as well. Why?

    PG Question

    Does anyone else feel our offense was/is better with Shabazz at the point? I realize he has to score for us to be successful and I get that they're playing him off the ball to be a 'scorer' ala Kemba in 2011. But since Boatright has been moved to the point, Boatright's game has suffered and...

    I wish...

    Given the state of realignment, I understand why people hope for UCONN to the B1G. As much as I hope that happens, I wish things were different. Truth be told, we fit better athletically with scools in the ACC. That is also where most of our rivals are. I'd love for this to happen: 1. Get...

    Are we still an elite program?

    ------------- Oh, so you are saying that we are ONLY 10 games above 0.500 in the country's premier basketball conference; you know, the one that consistently sends almost half of its teams to the NCAA tournament every year? No Dan, I'm saying in the last 6 years we've finished just 12th, 4th...

    Are we still an elite program?

    I knew everyone would get all defensive... I'm just looking at facts... After next year, 5 of the last 7 years we will have had 0 BE tourney wins... zero. 5 of the last 7 years we will have had 0 NCAA post season wins... zero. We have been very average in the BE the past 6 years (58-48.) 4...

    Are we still an elite program?

    Everyone is wondering what will become of UConn hoops post Jim Calhoun. Articles are being written, threads are being posted, etc., wondering if we will be able to maintain elite status. But are we really elite anymore? As much as I want to say yes, if Kemba's team doesn't have that miraculous...

    Can't anything be done to make the predominant UConn hoops site compatible with the most used web browser on the planet? This is the only site I know of that has an issue with IE Explorer. It's not a Norfolk St site... this is a site for UConn hoops! To say it cant be used by IE is kind of...
