    77% / 100%

    We were up one on New Mexico State at the under 12 timeout in the first half. From that point on, New Mexico State shot: 10-13 from three (77%) and 13-13 from the FT line (100%). Those numbers are insane. Nobody shoots that in a game. Nobody shoots that in an empty gym. The best...

    NCAA Seeding Discussion

    We’re dancing! So now it’s time to predict our seed. Here’s what I’ve got (thanks USC!): 0 Additional Wins: 10 seed. 1 Additional Win: 7 seed 2 Additional Wins: 6 seed. 3-4 Additional Wins: 5 seed. A lot of pundits will project us as an 8 or a 9 tomorrow. Ultimately, I can’t see the...

    And So Ends the AAC ConFLiCT . . .

    We scored last. So even though we lost the game, I’m fairly certain that means we won the ConFLiCT. Now we never have to think about it ever again.

    2019: Substantial Improvements

    Back on Feb 4, I compared our results to date against the past two years. The numbers showed that we had made “vast improvements” in terms of competitiveness, despite not seeing a huge shift in wins and losses. There were two reasons for this: our blowout losses against good teams were WAY down...

    UConn +10 vs. Houston

    The money line has us as 5-to-1 underdogs. It's been an encouraging season overall; we've been much more competitive against good teams than in the past two seasons, even if the wins haven't exactly followed just yet. A loss today against a very good Houston team wouldn't change that, so long...

    2019: Vast Improvements

    We’re 13-9, in the bottom half of the conference, and far from being an at-large contender for the tournament. But we’ve come a long way. Here are two facts that show how far the team has come this year vs. 2017 and 2018. Blowout losses against good teams are WAY down: The past two years, we...

    “No Shame in Finishing 2nd to UConn.”

    Pittsburgh Gazette columnist Joe Starkey to Pitt fans: “Relax, people. There is no shame in finishing second to UConn.” Here’s to Pitt being the first of many programs to console itself with these sweet, sweet words over the next few years. Joe Starkey: Dan Hurley wasn’t the last...

    0-15

    Tonight was the 15th time we’ve played an RPI Top 50 team over the past two seasons. For the 15th time in a row, we not only failed to win — we also yet again failed to lose by less than 8. Our average scoring differential vs Top 50 teams was -16 going into tonight’s game. It’s now -17.

    How competitive have we been?

    I was interested in how we’ve fared overall against tournament-caliber opponents the past two seasons, so I looked up our results and scores against RPI Top 50 teams. We all know there have been some bad losses in there. But other than that, have we been more or less competitive with some wins...

    College Football Rule 3-4-3

    Unfair Clock Tactics—ARTICLE 3, Approved Ruling 3-4-3 Example V: Late in the fourth quarter Team A trails by four points and is driving for a potential score. After a running play on which the ball carrier is tackled inbounds, Team B players are obviously and deliberately slow in letting him...

    Combining Threads About Merging B12 Threads

    Currently there are multiple new threads that advocate combining existing B12 expansion threads. To streamline things, here's what I propose: (1) A "why can't we have a single B12 thread?" thread for folks who want a new thread to talk about how all the existing B12 threads should be made into...

    What the Selection Committee just did to the AAC

    Was "their job." Last year SMU got screwed. This year everyone got what they deserved. Here's the thing. This was not a good year for the AAC. Too many WTF non-conference losses by too many teams at the top of the conference. We managed to lose to Yale on our home court. Temple got beat by...

    Brutal Schedule from an RPI Perspective

    Here's a breakdown of our opponents by RPI so far this year: RPI Top 50: 9 teams (2-7) RPI 51-100: 2 teams (1-1) RPI 101-150: 0 teams RPI 150+: 11 teams (10-1) We've had 2 total games against RPI 51-151 teams! Those are the games you want on your schedule and they've been completely MIA for...

    Should We Join the Catholics?

    I know this will not be a popular view, but UConn's new league has to be the 7 Catholics. Priority #1 for UConn has to be to protect basketball. Football is driving the bus on realignment because football on average generates more profit for schools. UConn doesn't fully allocate...

    "Trying to run the offense"

    Pasqualoni on what DeLeone is doing: "Well, I think what George (DeLeone) is doing is he's trying to run the offense that we'd like to establish and run here," Pasqualoni said in a conference call last week leading up to Saturday's game against South Florida. "Which is a pro-style kind of...

    Worst Loss Since Nov. 24, 2007

    The last time UConn got beat by 30+ was Nov. 2007 against an elite WVU squad that went on to beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl and finish ranked #6 in the country at 11-2. It has been over seven years since Syracuse beat an FBS team by 30. The last time was Sept. 10, 2005, when they beat...

    Whitmer has proven himself

    28/44 for 333 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT. A truly impressive performance. I'm pretty sure half of his 16 incomplete passes hit our receivers in the hands. Some nice catches and overall signs of life from the receivers (particularly Davis), but still far too many drops on catchable balls. The...

    Can we get a "dislike" button in here?

    Seriously, some of these posts are well beyond the pale. These are college kids who went through a hell of a lot of adversity this year and who fought back from 22 down tonight before ultimately getting beat by a team that matched up ridiculously well against us. It happens. You applaud our...

    Big East Attendance Comparison - Old vs. New

    UCF in Big East Western Division?

    Per BigEastCoastBias, if BYU signs on and the dominoes fall, it looks like UCF's invite might be to the Big East's western division. Apparently, neither Cinci nor Louisville wants to get bumped to a western division (which is understandable). The divisions would shape up as follows: EAST...

    Does a TCU Win Today Help the Big East?

    Jeff Jacobs seems to think so. Per his calculations, if Boise State heads to the Big East, making a BCS bowl this year actually costs them $14M! So a TCU win today might make the decision to pull the trigger and join the Big East a lot cheaper and more attractive to Boise State. If Boise gets...
