Time for a sit down discussion to let the league know we will be taking our share (I.e. more than an equal split) of both media revenue and NCAA tournament revenue. We’ll be using said $$ to give our coach his well earned raise.

If we can beat Purdue tomorrow, half of the teams we’ve played (3 of 6) would be from the Big 10. Wondering if a team has ever beat 3 teams from the same conference on the way to a title. Probably has happened but seems rare.

So while watching the game the other night I quickly realized that Samson was not putting himself in great position of offense and it was immediately leading to the other team leaving him to double team us. I’m hoping the staff makes this adjustment, but we need to use Samson just like we used...

One thing that was brought up at least a half a dozen times by the talking heads at the Final Four is how could this team possibly lose 8 games in the Big East? Hurley has taken the high road and mostly blamed a difficult schedule where we literally had to play every top team in the league back...

Not sure if anyone has tried to break down these 2 conferences, but they seem to be closer than most think. I did a little breakdown. The Big East vs. Big 12 challenge ended in a 5-5 split with EVERY home team winning. There were 5 neutral court games which went 3-2 in favor of the Big 12. There...

Jumped from #21 to 19 in KenPom with that win. We’re trending up both in offensive and defensive efficiency compared to last year. I’m going to go out on a limb and say we will be Top 10 in KenPom by the end of PKI.

It seems like the last 4-5 games we’re losing 80% of the 50/50 balls. It’s not for lack of hustle, I think a lot of it is just bad luck, but man is it infuriating to watch.

I can’t remember watching a UConn game with as many steals as we saw tonight (15). Safe to say we will be close to if not leading the country in steals per game after game 1. Our length is going to give teams issues and we left a bunch of almost take seats out there as well. Easily could have...

And our best player missed half the season

I know we have a million threads on this, but wanted to offer some positive spin. I blame at least 50% of the loss yesterday on Hurley deciding he wanted to be a mail instead of a hammer. When you have the more talented team, you are ALWAYS the hammer, he needs to not forget that. Here’s my...

Really like how our defense is coming together. We have the ability to be top 10 in this category. Can’t wait to get Akok out there as he will elevate the defense even more. I really like the direction Hurley has this team going.

Good news for college bball. WSJ: CDC To Reduce Quarantine for COVID-19

Anyone know the policy if we purchase season tickets and the season is cancelled? I don’t want to lose my seats, but also don’t want to drop thousands of dollars and never see it again.

Just curious as the NCAA has already announced this, what will the AAC do? It would be huge for us if we didn’t have to play Houston in TX (jumping way ahead of myself).

That is the free throw differential over the past 4 games. Just posting because I do believe it is a factor.

Tough loss today and unfortunately the team is not yet talented enough to overcome poor free throw shooting, key injuries and momentum changing calls by the officials. If we had hit our free throws we win going away, so I’m not making excuses, but man do we get a bad whistle in the most crucial...

I’ve seen multiple times this year where the home team decides to wear dark instead of white. I think Cincy or UCF did it against us, can’t remember which game it was that we wore white on the road. Anyone know what’s up with this? Just thought it was kind of weird.

Having both Mick and Danny on the sidelines at the same time is going to be brutal for the officiating crew. What’s the over/under on the number of technicals called tonight? Who gets tossed first, Danny or Mick?

Everyone get on board now, Polley is getting better every game. Hop on board the Polley Trolley because it’s leaving the station with or without the doubters!

Let’s Gooooo!!!!!!

Goodman now confirming per “multiple sources”

Ok, so we clearly aren't going anywhere this year. Most people will probably pick one of their least hated teams and route for them. Who do have and why?

Just for some perspective... here is Calhoun's record at UConn his first 6 years as the head coach: 133-86 (.607) And here is Kevin Ollie's record in his first 5 years as coach: 113-61 (.649) In order for them to be equal in winning percentage we would have to go 10-20 this year. Yes, you...

Actually got into the game last night and scored 4 points in 9 minutes to go along with his 3 fouls...On another topic, is there a worse summer league team than the Bulls? 55 points in a game? Ouch

So, we're not dancing this year which sucks, but I'm somehow feeling into the tournament this year even with our huskies out (which is not normal for me). I personally would love to see Gonzaga, Arizona or SMU cut down the nets. Also will be rooting hard for Witchita State to make some noise as...

Ok, I haven't seen this posted yet, so if someone else has posted on this I apologize. One complaint I have this year with college bball as a whole (and the AAC seems to be even worse than other leagues) is the number of non-travels called a travel. The officials are so quick to blow the whistle...

I'm done with reading all the negative posts. I'll summarize it all here for you: 1) We suck 2) Ollie should be fired 3) The American sucks, even though we can't win it Every great run has to start somewhere. We now have potentially 5 games to play before the tournament and KO is fire up...

One thing about this season that is scaring me is how many mediocre teams there are and how many "upsets" we're seeing every week. It seems like almost every week 1/3 of the top 25 teams lose to an unranked team. Unfortunately, as has been mentioned 10 billion times on the boneyard, we don't...

ESPN is in mid season from already.... These headlines are unreal "Kentucky Crushes Albany"...really? You're the #2 team in the country and you just beat a borderline D1 team by 13 points...not exactly crushing "Simmons stars as LSU cruises to easy win"...yeah he was the star, the 3rd leading...

Not sure if you guys have noticed an increase in taps out to our guards on the offensive end. I may be in the minority, but I'm loving it (if you can't get the rebound with 2 hands, tip it to someone who can). It doesn't always work in our favor, but there were 2 or 3 times against Tulsa where...

Fouls UConn 20 vs. 12 for Stanford. You can't tell me if you watched that game that UConn was more physical.

Sorry...couldn't resist, I figured it'd be a couple more years before I could post a thread with this title.
