Nice place to come off the bench if makes the roster....despite what Majerus said, Gay's had a great NBA career:
we play entire league one more time and DePaul twice & then BET. All we can hope for as fans is that this is rock bottom losing 5 of 6. It was a tough stretch with 4 road games against mostly good teams so some losses were expected, just not 5 of 6 and not the last 2 losses for sure.
So we...
Yahooooo!! Once Durant comes back puts Nets back in the mix for Eastern Conference and Drummond a nice playoff run.
Now we need to get Kemba to a contender....
I know we aren't thrilled how UConn has played but are around where pre-season polls had them (24-25). If a couple of close loses had gone our way we'd feel much better obviously. That said the next 2 weeks will clarify if UConn is a Tourney lock or will be scoreboard watching at the end of...
With the belief contender status is coming. We are not a complete team but in today's CBB greatness isn't really the same as it used to be.
Baylor got blown out today, Auburn won by 2, UNC getting demolished at home, Michigan a bubble team, Xavier lost to DePaul at home. There are no great...
to watch Steph Curry break his all-time 3 point record. Curry needs 1 to tie and 2 to break so will happen tonight unless he has worst game ever.
Reggie calling the game so 1, 2, 3 will all be standing by....do you think Thibbs is going to let Kemba play tonight :mad:
otherwise our OOC results will be middling at best at 2-3. Not counting the 6 glorified exhibition games, wish we had upgraded a couple of those to a tad higher quality opponent...6 of those buy games are too many imo.
Win Saturday and will feel much better going in to conference play after...
if Akok & Gaffney give us very little in back to back games against better competition. We know that Gaffney can have the occasional breakout game & that Akok was special as a freshman but right now I don't know if they are going to step up against better teams.
Maybe after Atlantis we give...
Do we take a look at Mathis if Locke doesn't happen?
Not a great shooter but gives some guard depth, definitely not top of list but could be a fallback.
I think DH / UConn recruited him before he chose Rutgers...
Thought was a good read on yahoo....haven't seen posted yet.
"My programs are built on rugged, tough-ass dudes that refuse to lose and will rip the ball out of someone else's hands," Hurley said. "We've obviously got to continue to develop that mentality...
to have a prayer at an at-large imo. Anything new on this?
Not ideal but Nova is @Providence on Sat 3/6 and we're home against G'town on 3/6.....Nova could stop at Storrs on 3/7 before heading home or come in a day early for 3/5.
If play 3/7 that gives us 2 days off before BE Tourney &...
I fully understand it was necessary to pause again (yes health comes first) but I hope:
we are fortunate enough to have a continuous / no-pause February starting on the 6th
we win more games than we lose in February
we are lucky enough to have James Bouknight resume (& maybe end) his college...
Mike needs to call it a career and let Jeff Capel or Bobby Hurley have a shot while they're "young"....he's a complete boob when things are not roses & rainbows. Dude get over yourself!
He wasn't as belligerent as the headline portends but he's accomplished all he can at Duke.....call it a...
Like a family member I'll be there to my last breath. We've had extreme high times, extreme low times and mediocre times. I have watched 99% of the games since the late 80's...what am I doing, I could have built a pyramid with those endless hours. Oh well, who needs a pyramid.
The depths of...
to the World Series this year ;) and UConn back in the BE in November so 2020 is not a lost cause. The teams I root for haven't seen the post-season since 2016 so I'm grasping for anything to give me some sports elation:
UConn - no tourney since 2016 but obviously was in CBB heaven really from...
even though post-season is likely a bridge too far at this point....maybe sneak into NIT.
Although the prospect of 7th place in the AAC at the start of the season would have been extremely disappointing now I think it has to be our floor. There are 6 teams above .500 and 6 teams below .500...
and the schedule doesn't get much easier.
I think the effort will be there going forward and the young pups will hopefully get lots of PT but very depressing to be in this position none the less.
The upperclassmen have been so disappointing and I feel for them, but clearly DH has to limit...
was this just a good match-up for him? I think he earned a start with 13 pts, 11 reb & 4 steals....career game deserves a reward.
Carlton was a total zero & not much from Akok either so I would start Whaley for one of them for 1 game.
We won that game but officials made a couple of CRUCIAL calls against us that were the difference. That was a UConn win so screw the officials that took it away!
Bravo CV, Sid, Bouk and all!!!!
And officials.....Screw you! Don't care how many free throws we took, WSU fouled constantly.
When...
about what time it is for christsakes! These teams aren't playing great Offensive BB but defense was very good and deserved better than your clock watching the last 1/2 of the 2nd half! Nobody cares it's past your bedtime! Go away and cover ACC afternoon games and leave us the freak alone you...
and the have nots win sometimes and that's ok. UConn has 4 titles in the past 20 years so we are THE have.
I was crushed on Friday night when we lost to X in dbl OT because I so want this team to succeed like UConn of 5 years ago. But I know we are back so the sting is subsiding.
Yes we are...
then (temporarily) love the one you're with, or one still alive anyway.
I'll be rooting for the New England teams (Northeastern, Vermont, Ivy) & AAC (except Cincy). It will probably be short runs for all of them except Houston but who knows.
Once the tourney gets going I'll get on board with...
