I decided to replay the recording of the National Championship game and lo and behold I somehow missed the Terry Crews and NBA Greats pep talk to both teams. I don't know how I missed it the first time. At first I thought it was a bit contrived but it got interesting when they showed some of...

He didn't give any credit to UConn. Sorry to say that I lost a little respect for him.

I'm so proud of this team. They're hands down the most fun half court offense to watch. I hope Hurley will be able to add a few more players that along with the returning players can run this offense next year as well. But tonight is about this moment and this team!

Foremost on our minds is on beating Alabama followed by beating whoever comes out of the other half of -4, which I'm hoping is a multi-overtime affair on Saturday. I posted before the BET, why not go 9-0 during the tournament sesson? As many articles have highlighted, UConn has few to no...

With UConn winning the BET, and Houston and Purdue losing today we'll finish #1! Has that happened before? The Emeka NC year?

I hope they don't slow it down and stand around ever again. Keep running the motion to eat up clock and continue to tire their opponent. They played right into trap after trap! Just stupid strategy and play. Good thing we were up by enough. And stop the stupid trash talking shenanigans. They...

Heading into the the 2011 BET, having the daunting task of needing to win 5 games in 5 consecutive days, I posted that if there ever was a BE first day team that could run that gauntlet and come out on top, it was that 2011 Kemba led team. And they're the only team that's done that! Then I...

So what adjustments do you think Hurley and the team can make to counter what McDermott and Creighton did on both ends of the floor to our guys on Tuesday? I consider myself a hoops junky who has a solid understanding of Xs snd Os, but I'm not sure what adjustments Hurley can make in light of...

Spencer's back-to-back top scorer (SJ & Butler) is only the second time we've had back-to-back top scorers this season. The other was when Newton led the team in scoring back-to-back-to-back (Creighton, Nova & Xavier). All other times we've had a different top scorer the following game. Top...

From what I understand a 7-2 skilled International big just got cleared to play for Kentucky and might be the piece they need to be a team to reckon with come March. It will be interesting to see what Ivisic brings to their roster the balance of this season. In just 26 minutes in his first game...

My ideal way I'd like to see games called is as follows: Call obvious off the ball impedance (chucking & grabbing) impacting the flow of the game. Call over-aggressive hacking and body impedance on the ball handler impacting the flow of the game or resulting in a turnover. I'm okay with...

I'm never shy to admit I was wrong. Given the slightest opening, Castle's ability to finish or get fouled attacking the rim is impressive. Occasionally he gets himself in trouble in traffic within the paint, but more often he succeeds there. I didn't give his due when it comes to finishing...

It's evident this year's Huskies are a very good team that can beat their opponent in many different ways. Granted they've been playing without Clingan, but there are some thing that could use some improvement. Some of the following are obvious: FT shooting. They're leaving a lot of points at...

Well early on and at the start of the second half they did find Clingan, but apart from that, they s*cked at all aspects of the game. Just about every player played poorly. Count this as a wakeup call and fodder for Hurley to get their attention. I hope DC is okay. The one deficiency they...

Court Report: UConn's Tristen Newton has been the not-so-quiet MVP of the Huskies' season so far Has any UConn upper classman (particularly seniors) helped their future basketball career more so than Tristan Newton? Tate George, Kevin Ollie and Donnie Marshall and Travis Knight come to mind...

Love hearing that CBS NCAA Tourney Music on CBSSN. I think we'll hear 4 weeks of that come March!

The only position I was worried about before the season started was the 5, but the early play from Johnson has dispelled my concerns. Though both Johnson and Clingan need to stay healthy. The less experienced players seem to be coming along and developing quickly with most of the season ahead...

Just a few games in and this team's motion and multi-screen offense has been outstanding. I'm not sure I've seen much better from prior Husky teams late in their seasons. I've found myself frustrated at times in the past where we'd see too much standing around. Note that when teams play zone...

Watched the 2 Purdue vs 7 Tennessee game and frankly, not impressed with either. Neither team shoots it all that well from beyond or inside the arc. Neither's offense had much movement or imagination. Nor did their defenses looked anything special. They tout this year's Maui Invitational the...

The player and ball movement this year might be the best ever. Team rebounding has been outstanding. This team has a chance to be very special. Returning players continue to improve. As for the newcomers, Spencer has been sharp from get go, and Johnson & Ball are getting better every game as...

What is the best solution (i.e. least expensive) to watch UConn's Men's hoops, Boston Sports, Network TV, Discovery channels, etc.? We're getting FIOS in our neighborhood soon so that might be an option. I know there's FUBO or YouTube TV but I don't think either has all that I need. Any...

Flag Sets Official UConn Visit According to bleacher report Flagg has set offial visits with Dook, KU and the good guys.

I couldn't help but post this resemblance.

It's been a long time since I posted, but felt compelled to do so today. Knowing going into the game that Maryland had the defensive player of the year and seeing early on they were double and triple teaming Bouknight, Hurley's offensive game plan was clearly flawed. Note that I like him as...

This is my big time and completely insane reach for some sort of silver lining to this year's dumpster fire. I kind of feel that this year's field is pretty wide open and there might be about eight to ten teams that could cut down the nets when it's all said and done. I have not watched nearly...

This year sort of reminds me of the mid 90s, where after JC began to build success with local northeast recruits and some under the radar hard working talent, the program began to attract more talented and higher ranked recruits. With that said, it was usually certain types of recruits who came...

I used to post a lot on the Boneyard, and maybe I'm just misremembering, using a word that Rodger Clemens made famous, but I don't remember seeing so many threads get hijacked and go so far off topic all the time! I was reading the Akok thread and it wasn't even a page deep before it became all...

I'm not one to post OT, but I couldn't resist this one since we usually see threads of this sort during shark week every year. This one caught my attention so I took a pic of my TV screen of this UConn fan who was talking about his shark attack encounter. I apologize if this has been posted in...

As I sat in my seat at the XL Center the thought crossed my mind if I should stay and watch the second half or should I simply go into work. What made this thought particularly troubling is that I am off all week on vacation. This team has gone from being a tough watch to a complete train...

Anyone who watched the game or looked at the box score could tell that a deciding factor were all the turnovers. Missing a bucket full of missed FTs didn't help. Defending the 3 wasn't good either. They were shooting it over 60% at one point. The good was Adams finally showed up, and showed...

I was out watching the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie which was outstanding by the way but did catch the last few minutes of the game. I couldn't believe that wide-open three that they gave up at the very end of the game. They are very fortunate to came away with the W and that...

I must admit I was afraid to even venture anywhere near the Boneyard the last couple of games. I'm sure many are saying the sky is falling. We're just two games into the season, so there's a lot of ball to be played and time to improve. With that said, this is the worst UConn team I've seen in...

Seriously, it's about nothing. Honest. Not misleading. I got nothin' and I'm proud to post...

Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with recruiting. I just thought I'd start it out with a title that makes you think it's about recruiting but run it immediately off the rails from the word go. Instead of legitimately starting it about recruiting and let it run for a half dozen posts...
