    Sleeper Teams that will surprise

    I think they have 3-4 guys that score in double figures and shoot 3’s at 40%+ or something like that. If they are on, they’ll beat all but the very best teams. I’d hate to run into them playing really well.

    Fox - Big East exclusive negotiating window

    Yes. But is the Big East somehow a thorn in the side of the football conferences? I don’t know. Just weird that the second best conference in the country got 3 bids and it happens to be the one that doesn’t play football.

    Does it though? Maybe, the football people sticking it to the non-football people.

    Sleeper Teams that will surprise

    McNeese can play. They could get to the FF. Seems mid majors getting to the FF is no longer uncommon.

    Fox - Big East exclusive negotiating window

    I haven’t bothered to put in any research. How did the MWC manage to get 6 bids anyway?

    “Storrs Central”

    I’m starting think this as well. I’ll let it play out a bit. I don’t want to endanger the Boneyard in the name of NIL. It’s too valuable a community and resource to risk destroying. I can just donate a $100 rather than subscribe for $100 if I want to. It’s an awkward situation. Tom can’t really...

    This is weird

    I don’t like it. Everyone declaring us nearly unbeatable seems like a jinx.

    Gordon Sammis Named OC

    I’m as skeptical as anyone at this point. However, better to give the job to a very good coach than a bad one or unknown one. Hopefully, he’s got more to offer and that’s why he’s taking a step up.

    PC/Creighton thread

    I can’t help but pull for PC. I like Carter and Kim English seems pretty cool from what I’ve heard of him.

    Holtman to DePaul

    Kimani has probably missed opportunities solely based on his arrest many years ago. It’s unfortunate, but he’s got a great job at UConn until the right opportunity comes along.

    I’ll go there

    This. Also, I don’t care how good we look this year. Last year we had Adama. He was an automatic bucket. He was unflappable. He was even an auto bucket under major pressure. I love this team, but Sanogo is a massive loss, especially in a single elimination tournament where clutch buckets...

    I’ll go there

    So much more than talent and coaching goes into winning a natty. Things have to break your way. Unless of course, you win every game by 15+ points or whatever, like we did last year. Houston, Arizona, Purdue, Kansas and the current version of UNC can all give us trouble. I really don’t like...

    “Storrs Central”

    I’ll join this and pay the $100 or whatever. I’d like to state that I will also do the same if Tom should do something similar with the Boneyard. I like causes that the Boneyard supports because Tom is a class act.

    Best places to watch the BET in nyc

    Hang with the Nova fans. You aren’t gonna find a bunch of UConn fans anywhere when we aren’t playing. Nova fans are among the best in the Big East and are certainly the most tolerable. At least they’ve been there when they talk smack.

    Devin Carter is the Big East Player of the Year

    This makes sense. I love Carter’s game and think he’s probably the best player in the league, but it is bad from a marketing standpoint. Newton averaged close to 20ppg at ECU and he’s a way better player now. He may have scored 25ppg at PC this year. I guess him missing out on POY is more of a...

    PC vs Georgetown thread

    Carter shares the ball so well. PC is a solid top 50-60 team without Hopkins. Cooley needs to hit the portal real hard.

    PC vs Georgetown thread

    I think so. We’ve had too much good fortune to revel in injuries to other teams. I also like a strong Big East. PC could have been very strong nationally this season. Now the B12 will get 9 bids or something stupid.

    PC vs Georgetown thread

    Must win for PC if they want a bid. Was just discussing with a buddy, how many games better would PC’s record be with Hopkins? I think they’d be around 24-7 with a legit shot at the Elite 8. He agreed. It’s really too bad.

    Devin Carter is the Big East Player of the Year

    Carter is great. I have no problem with it. Wish he transferred to UConn when Cooley left.

    Another Historical List to Climb

    It’s pretty crazy that we only have 6. You’d think all of our FF teams would have one and we had a lot of great non FF teams. Without even knowing who we have on the list, I’d think Chris Smith, Ray Allen, Donyell, Ben, Emeka, Caron, Kemba, Shabazz and I didn’t even try.

    Serious shaka love to uconn

    Only Kelvin Sampson could deliver UConn like results in the AAC. Shaka is a step below that. I don’t know if he’d have survived here or not. Things worked out for us, but man, it was rough for a while. I remember members of this board declaring the program dead and insisting we’d never win...

    Amida Brimah - G League History…

    I didn’t realize that he signed a 1 year contract with the Nuggets for $1,867,000 in October. His first big pay day.

    How would you approach the final 2 regular season games?

    Hurley is killing it. He’s doing really well in all aspects. He’ll keep going balls out. There won’t be any coast to the finish line. I agree with the Solo comments. Solo needs a little more run. We may need him. I want him ready to play. Fortunately, he came in and seemed good today.

    ACC replacement list: UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Washington State, Oregon State

    The Big East should add the ACC remnants and sponsor football. The Big East is awesome. The fan bases are very passionate and schools like Duke and Wake will fit in perfectly, along with Cuse, BC and VTech. It really is a great basketball conference.

    Agreed. He’s going to be special.

    ACC replacement list: UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Washington State, Oregon State

    If Cuse and BC know what’s good for them, they will push for us. The region needs the rivalries. I’d like to merge the Big East with the ACC. I love Big East basketball. I just watched Xavier and Georgetown and enjoyed it. I don’t really enjoy watching any other conference and never have. A...

    Big goals discussed. Title #6 and Banner 18 in his final season.

    They talk about all kinds of stuff, but it’s pretty obvious that as a CT podcast, they know where their bread is buttered. I’m not sure they intended that when they started, but UConn Nation has been very good to them. They get a lot of great UConn and other basketball related guests. How can...

    Fox - Big East exclusive negotiating window

    There was juice playing each other in football too. We used to sell out all the time in the Big East.

    Fox - Big East exclusive negotiating window

    This is part of a bigger picture. Of course, we’d draw well against Duke. However, we used to draw well against Cuse. This is as much about restoring brands like Cuse, VTech and BC as it is about creating new, meaningful matchups. Northeast sports can be restored. The teams need to play old...

    Fox - Big East exclusive negotiating window

    I’ve heard this. I said in this thread or another that the Big East would absorb the ACC leftovers and begin playing football again. It could be the other way around, but that really depends on what brand is considered better. I’d prefer that it be called the Big East, the ACC has negative...

    OT: The Future of FOX and The Big East

    The Big East is most likely going back to ESPN and will absorb the ACC leftovers and resume a football division. The ACC is going to be extinct in a few years. It will lose members to the B1G, SEC and B12. The rest will join the Big East.

    But if Clingan gets in foul trouble, which is more likely, then we’ve got a problem to deal with.
