    Cam Spencer lights UConn's Fire

    ah, interesting! never been. and i absolutely agree! afternoons have just been the only times i have been available to play lately. those nittier games can be easier to navigate sometimes, too, because i can play a bit wider and basically snap fold at any sign of aggression. it helps that i...

    Cam Spencer lights UConn's Fire

    where do you play out of? wish we had a casino that offered 1/3 nearby, although i guess i heard that foxwoods might start? i definitely don't pretend to be a wizard, but i have been crushing the early afternoon retiree-heavy 1/2 games lately, haha.

    Boston Thursday Roll Call

    i have been to the first round games each of the last three years (buffalo, albany, and brooklyn - although i only went to the friday game this year) and i have always been surprised by how few uconn fans turn out. i agree that it is largely a factor of the big east tournament, but it is still...

    UConn -9.5 v. San Diego St

    apparently they flew from spokane to san diego late last night, then obviously have to fly from san diego to boston in the next day or two. i know that people overblow the travel angle of postseason sports all the time, especially now that everyone charters flights, but that is quite a bit of...

    It’s Stetson

    the only thing i know about stetson is that jacob degrom played for them. if he still has a place in the new york area, i wonder if he makes it to the game.

    Newton and Spencer Big East First Team

    with castle removed (he would be number one otherwise) here is a list of the players with the most weekly honors. karaban is BY FAR the player with the most honors to NOT make an all-league team. according to this (admittedly lacking) metric, he had a top-10 season in the big east. kind of a...

    Newton and Spencer Big East First Team

    i think we have learned that "big east weekly honors" have very little impact on all-league voting, but here are the final regular season tallies all the same. karaban got another nod for honorable mention (more on that later) Player Team POTW FOTW Honor Role Pierre Brooks Butler 1...

    Big East Weekly Honors 3/4 - Castle Comes for Carmelo

    think it speaks to the fact that 1.) our team is really balanced and 2.) the big east has done a bad job of promoting our guys, maybe intentionally (and understandably) because our guys get enough coverage in the national media. having made these threads all year and watched very closely, there...

    How do you handle your feelings?

    i admit that i will turn off games late in the second half of a blowout. i just did it the other day for creighton. i still check the score and did end up tuning back in for the end after we cut it down to single digits. turned it off so i didn't have to see the court storm, though.

    Big East Weekly Honors 2/26

    if you are talking about big east weekly honors, you are kind of correct -- they only really seem to look at basic counting stats. so defense is only accounted for in terms of steals, blocks, and rebounds. it's why andre jackson wasn't recognized nearly as often as he should have been. and i...

    Big East Weekly Honors 2/26

    i actually disagree. castle had weeks where he won fotw while averaging, like, 5 ppg. as i mentioned above, he won these awards by virtue of the fact that there are just ZERO other significant freshmen contributors in the league. we know that newton is basically assured a spot. would you put...

    Big East Weekly Honors 2/26

    i am not sure! one of the reasons i wanted to keep track of everything throughout the year was to see how closely they aligned. after the close of the regular season, i am going to tabulate every potw and honor role (will probably do straight-up and a weighted version where potw counts for...

    Big East Weekly Honors 2/26

    it would be crazy if steph castle unseated carmelo anthony just because there isn't a single other decent freshman in the big east this year. i mean, castle has been awesome, but there have been weeks where he straight up should not have won this award and still did, just because there was no...

    updating the tracker after taking two mondays off on vacation! now that spencer has been honored twice (!!) we can all focus our attention on the fact that uconn hasn't had a "player of the week" since newton won the award a month ago, and we have a total of one (!!!) award for the entire season...

    Danny Wolf: Transfer target?

    i watch a decent amount of yale basketball (i go to 2 - 3 games per year and root for them when they're on national tv) and this kid's emergence was a complete shock to me. he looked like a total stiff his freshman year. you don't see a ton of seven-footers in the ivy, particularly with his...
