25. Andre Jackson Jr. (Connecticut, SF, Junior)
The NCAA tournament made it easier for scouts to picture Jackson's NBA purpose in the right role. He made a compelling case to succeed as a non-shooting outlier who'll...

Hadn't seen this posted before. Kemba and Jeremy were interviewed midway through the first half. (Weird timing for an interview.)
Kemba mentions that Rudy Gay is his favorite Husky and then lists his all-time...
I was more than a little concerned when Andre picked up those quick two fouls and headed to the bench -- thought it could have been a reprisal of the Marquette game when he only logged 15 minutes.
That said, I was very impressed when, at the 15 minute mark in the second half, he allowed Miami...

Some great writing in here...
"The Huskies were so good that it was hard to overly criticize the Razorbacks for a meek showing. You don’t blame trees for falling in a storm."
Hope we get more material out of this visit, like a video of him signing the wall and some quotes. One of my favorite Huskies and master of the pass ahead.

It begins:
You could make an argument that Connecticut deserves to be No. 1 this week. After Wednesday night’s win at Florida, and the ease with which it was accomplished, we honestly gave the idea...
This is a pretty wild story. Essentially one of the NM State basketball players, forward Mike Peake, was set up by a 17 year old girl in retaliation for a fight at the UNM vs. NMSU football game in October. Mike Peake played 9 minutes against us in the tournament, hitting one three...

Love seeing my favorite husky of all time back in Storrs. Hope the press takes note of his visit.
Essentially just an invite to their training camp as the team can cut him without penalty but it's a great opportunity to impress people. Hopefully it nets out in a 2 way for him. Pulling for Isaiah.
Well, that was... weird? Anyone there know what happened?
Thought it could have fired up the team but the turnovers continued unabated.
This was hilarious though.
Great crowd.
Does anyone know what happened with coach's neck? I know he had a dual level cervical disc replacement a couple years ago before the season. Was surprised to see the bandage today... I assumed those surgeries were good for decades. Hope everything is ok.

The Celtics as a whole, however, are struggling to the finish line. They're 3-7 in their last 10 and sitting in 7th place in the Eastern Conference, which means they're almost...
I'm watching the 14 Illinois vs. 21 Ohio State game on Fox (OSU up 15 at the half). Donny's calling the game and he's doing a really nice job IMO. Good voice, cadence and knowledge. He was complaining in the first half about fouling three-point shooters and the play-by-play guy asked him what...

He also had a torn meniscus and a fracture. The Pacers are currently 4th in the east at 7-4. Will be great to see him return from that gruesome injury.
Digging up an old thread but only because it looked like we never closed the loop, and I just stumbled upon the documentary:

Kornheiser spent a minute talking about how this was a great thing for the Big East, and both Tony and Wilbon chastised BC.
Clip doesn't appear to be up on YouTube at the moment but I'll post when it it's updated.
