    Best UConn Basketball Games of the Decade (2010-2019)

    With the 2010s coming to a close, it's time to look back at some of the best UConn moments over the past 10 years. I made an arbitrary rule not to include more than three games from any single season (shout-out to 2011 & 2014), so without further ado, here is the list: 10) 2013: UConn 66...

    Things I liked from the newcomers (with GIFs!)

    While expectations should be held in check considering the opponent, there was a lot to like about our win against Colgate. We were playing without our best player, and after the abomination that was last season, the win allows us all to breathe a sigh of relief. Below I'll detail some of the...

    Over .500 For the First Time All Season

    It's been a disappointing season to say the least. From injuries to just general bad play we haven't seen here in 30 years. But, as is tradition, as the season starts winding down, we're playing our best basketball of the season. After winning 6 of our last 7, we're over .500 for the first...

    Disappointing finish, but reason for optimism

    Losing always hurts. Especially when leading by 14 in the second half (against a former rival on national TV, no less). But a reminder: this team's path to making the NCAA Tournament is through the AAC Tournament in Hartford. With that in mind, improvement until the end of the season is the...

    Thabeet getting NBA Workouts

    There's a full article with more info, and it's definitely worth reading. Great details about Thabeet's plan to make it back to the NBA. He recently started working with a new trainer (Frank Matrisciano) who's famous for his rigorous workouts - and apparently the results are showing in his...

    Courant: Brimah, Facey Bulk Up For Final Season

    "It's taken a while," said associate head coach Glen Miller, "It has been a struggle, but it has all come together for both of them now. And it's showing in the court. If there is one area that has held them back a little, it was their lack of strength. Now, they're able to hold their position...

    "Freedom of Movement" has ruined college basketball.

    When the NCAA implemented these new freedom of movement rules, the end goal was to raise scoring totals with the hope that it'd make the game more "watchable." Scoring totals are certainly up, but the game has become more unwatchable than ever. The incessant calling of fouls has halted any...

    Quick Post-Game Thoughts

    This was one of the more satisfying wins we've had in years. We demolished UCF in every facet of the game, and it was especially gratifying because of the whole Civil Conflict shenanigans. Diaco got a lot of hate for creating a "rivalry," but the team clearly came out with a purpose today...

    Update on Boat's Status with Nets

    Deron Williams reached a buyout earlier today with the Nets. The Nets had a very crowded backcourt, but it's finally starting to take shape. A friend of mine in the Nets organization, who knows I'm a huge UConn fan, texted me soon afterwards to let me know that the Nets "are keeping Boat."...

    Caron Traded from Detroit to Milwaukee

    Caron is from Wisconsin, and the Bucks did make the playoffs this past season, so this may be a nice landing spot for him. He played half a season for the Bucks two years ago before being traded to Oklahoma City. Caron can be a good mentor to this young and talented Bucks team. They've got a...

    Terry Larrier to Transfer to UConn!

    The 6'8" wing averaged 6.6 points and 3 rebounds during his freshman season at VCU. Per NCAA rules, Larrier must sit out the 2015-2016 season, but will have three years of eligibility remaining. Larrier played sparingly in his lone season at VCU, but was a highly regarded prospect coming out...

    NIT Matchup: Wednesday @7 against Arizona State

    The game will be on ESPN2. We are a 4 seed to Arizona State's 5 seed. Richmond is the 1st seed in our bracket. With the game on Wednesday, perhaps Hamilton will be able to play after attending his grandmother's funeral on Tuesday.

    AAC Tourney Matchups

    I realize it's hard to be positive about the team after our last two games. We haven't won four consecutive games this season (unless you count the exhibitions), and now we're tasked with winning four straight to make the NCAA Tournament. However, if the end goal was always winning the AAC...

    We have Boat, They Don't

    UConn has been blessed with stellar point guards over the years. Tonight we celebrate the senior night for one of the best to even don a UConn jersey, Ryan Boatright. Boatright is in the top ten all-time in both scoring and assists for our storied program. He has won a National Championship...

    Playing Scared

    I'll make this quick as I don't want to think about this game much longer. This team isn't good offensively. We know it, the team knows it, our opponents know it. But the frustrating part about it is that our players (sans Boat) are afraid to shoot. I'd be much more forgiving if our players...
