    Refereeing...A Plea

    The agenda is to popularize the game. Make it more interesting to a broader audience. This requires games to have drama. This requires the game to have competitive parity. This requires physicality be rewarded as it can neutralize the quality of play of one team over the other. This requires...

    Refereeing...A Plea

    Respectfully disagree. If repeating fact (poor officiating) is whining, then you do not want change. Think of the whiners in the year 1776. BTW, whining shows that the problem is 1) prevalent 2) non-UConn specific (Google last nights Iowa-WV game) 3) has not been addressed. BTW, UConn has...

    Ranking college basketball's 10 best jobs

    The author probably meant, title wise, with 4, Hurley inherited a program with great achievements already. I would agree.

    Shead picked up the pivot foot in both those traps (before any foul). No call.

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    The absolute worse of his "kind". It is not so much that he makes bad calls (all refs do - they are human). It is because he makes bad "no calls". It is the no calls that have made the women's game look like rugby games and at times ugly. This man's interpretation of the rules favor certain...

    Auburn does not deserve the win. They foul and would lose to most good teams if refs call it tight.

    Stetson Post Game Thread

    I don't know how he does in practice, but in games, it looks like he belongs. He has a calm demeanor for a "clean up" player. Does not come in hunting for shots or plays. Let's the game, which at that point is out of reach, come to him.

    Where is our commissioner?

    The problem with Val, seems to be, she convinced herself the football powers would be willing to share the spotlight with the niche BE schools and maintain a status quo. She better re-think the role of the BE in the current college sports landscape.

    Where is our commissioner?

    I hope the 3 BE teams make deep runs. It should give credence to any kind of "we told you so" mantra coming from the BE faithful. It is then when the BE office better come out screaming.

    Why The Selection Committee is a Joke

    Don't lose to Rutgers and Michigan? Well, OK. Don't lose to NCST (hello Virginia). The only thing that is up front about the current model is that they admit it is arbitrary and selective. They do not admit it is unjust, which it is. But yea, you are right. You get the last word.

    Why The Selection Committee is a Joke

    So you are not for punishing deserving NCAA teams because someone else in their conference got hot? But it is OK if an ACC team gets hot and you punish someone in the BE? That is what happened. USF was more deserving than NCST, prior to NCST getting hot. "It's different". Yes, it is. It...

    True. Now, Duke players taking a charge? That is academy award level stuff. BTW, basketball players are better actors than actors pretending to be basketball players.

    Why The Selection Committee is a Joke

    Solution: If a team wins its conference tournament and steals a bid, then another team from that same conference gets bumped. They already do this. Indirectly or directly, USF's bid was stolen by a bid stealer from its own league. Indiana State, also. This happens ALL the time with smaller...

    Every one of the fan bases will also pick UConn. Not because they think we are the best, but just to jinx us. Reverse mojo? Dark matter? IDK.

    Is Big East Expansion complacency costs its teams NCAA bids?

    The irony for St John's is that Rick Pitino's son will be "kinda" responsible for keeping his dad's team out. New Mexico in, SJ's out.

    Is Big East Expansion complacency costs its teams NCAA bids?

    This. Absolutely, because they already do this with the minor leagues. USF will be passed over because of its own league "bid stealer". All the minor leagues suffer the same fate. Unfortunately there are the haves and have-nots.

    Re: UConn NIT. I remember (maybe I still have the paper clip somewhere), reading an article that quoted a MSG usher as saying they had not seen the garden that loud and electric since the NY Knick's Willis Reed injury entrance, or something to that affect. The NIT win was a big, big thing, and...

    Marquette Post Game Thread

    Perspective: 1 seed UConn beat Marquette, a probable 2 seed in an elite 8 match-up. Other 1 seed, Purdue lost to a probable 5 seed, Wisconsin. UNC lost to a probable 10/11 seed. Houston lost to a probable 2 seed.
