    Roumoglou Enters the Portal (Merged)

    Aw man this really sucks. I honestly thought he could become a big part of the offense. Too bad but I hope he finds a home. Really nice shot in his game.

    Reality vs fear

    Unfortunately the affects of realignment are not always immediately felt. The B1G and SEC want to change college basketball payouts by expanding the number of teams in the tournament. They'll probably get their way. When that happens you'll probably start to a lot more play in games that act...

    Reality vs fear

    I think I could make a case that college basketball is more popular than college football. There's a big difference between popularity and profitability. Everyone knows the CBS contract with the NCAA is way undervalued. There are many more non football conferences involved in the tournament...

    Reality vs fear

    We have a fantastic athletic department, world class facilities and the institution of the academics at UConn are equally impressive. We all entrenched as a premier university in New England and the Mid Atlantic. Our football team ain't that good, but when you look at the aggregate of UConn...

    Steph Castle declares

    We all knew is inevitable I guess. Good luck to Castle. Our guys all earned that right. A big thank you.

    Karaban declares, retains NCAA eligibility

    He's so underated. He could be a versatile guy that does a little of everything. Plays good D, can shoot the ball, has decent size at 6'8. If he can show his ability during tryouts, he might get a look. He's not overly athletic enough to get a fair shot, but he's the type of guy that can be a...

    What is the best individual, single-game performance in UConn history?

    Caron Butlers performance vs Maryland in the NCAA tournament. He was a warrior. The only reason we were in that game was cause of that dude. He just never gave up. He left it all on the floor. Maryland just had some ballers. I think they won the tournament that year. If there's one...

    Self is the new Cal.

    Kentucky is PATHETIC!

    Pope is a good coach. He's going to succeed at Kentucky. They might not win the recruiting wars, but he's going to bring in shooters to run that offense.

    Tarris Reed commits!

    Not so sure about that. Hope so though

    Tarris Reed commits!

    He fits well in Hurley's system. From what I saw in some of the highlight reels, gets good low post position and can go with his left or right. Solid rebounder, has a motor, doesn't give up on plays. Saw one nice shot from behind the arc, but it looks like he gets most of his work done in the...

    UConn’s Dan Hurley Addresses Importance of Mental Health for Men: “It’s a Crisis”

    It is a crisis. There are not a lot of resources for men that need help. Often men don't want to want to admit they need support. Glad to see someone at Hurley's level advocating for such a hidden crisis.

    Hurley vs. Calhoun

    Hurley will no doubt be a HOF'r like Calhoun, but Jim came here and built a national power house. Some of the younger fans have no clue just how good the Big East was. Those games against Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson, Malik Sealy, Billy Owens just to name a few. The Big East was the real...

    That second picture is awesome. Speaks volumes about the players and program. Love that picture

    Official: Hurley tells UK, NOPE

    Errybody already knew, but it's cool

    Another Hurley Thread

    I remember how down fans were. Passed over in realignment, stuck in the AAC, not landing high profile recruits. Then Hurley arrives and he had a vision of what UConn should be and like a mad scientist, he went to work. He knew when he said those prophetic words. "People better get us now cause...

    Why wouldn't he?

    Alex Karaban hints coming back

    We need him, Johnson and the freshman to be the building blocks of the next group.

    Cam is a legend

    He definitely is. It feels like he's always been here. He joined only a year ago, but he's managed to leave a great legacy in that short time. Amazing

    Samson Johnson question

    Johnson is capable of starting. He needs to bulk up. If he adds 20 lbs of muscle, he can take the pounding of a whole game. Clingan weighs like 280 on his frame, no clue what Johnson weighs but more weight would do wonders for his game and draft stock

    Samson Johnson question

    It's the coach's job to improve the roster. That doesn't mean that who he brings in will be guaranteed to start, it just means that Hurley is obligated to make his team better every year. If that means bringing in a center that can start day one, then that's what he'll do. The guys that are...

    The transfer portal opens today

    Hurley must feel like a kid in the candy store. With another title under his belt and a lot of slots to fill, he'll have the pick of the litter. There's a lot of talent in the portal and a few guys he recruited that ended up elsewhere. We're going to reload and run it back. Next year might...

    Ringer: UConn once shocked the world, now it looks like a Dynasty

    I would assume teams are going to start copying aspects of Hurley's offense. We might be running into versions of this motion offense soon. If you can't beat em, join em. It's hard to stay at the top in any sport. I'm just glad we're hear for the moment enjoying history and creating a higher...

    Where do you rank Newton among UConn guard greats?

    Every year we do those build your best UConn team. From now on, Newton will be on that team.

    Sure they were. On CBS sports, all year long UConn was never given respect by either of these guys

    How did you become a UConn fan?

    The NIT champion. That was a big deal

    How nervous were you

    Yeah, for some reason I thought it was closer, but when the fouls came. My nerves started getting to me
  33. B1GEast

    How nervous were you

    When Clingan and Johnson both had 4 fouls and there was about 7 minutes to go and the lead was 7 or 9? I felt a lot of anxiety. Hurley is a genius for going small with Karaban, who got fouled so many times and no whistle blown. I thought Hurley might go with Stewart, but he needed Karaban's...
