I listened to Jeff Goodman on Field of 68 this morning, and I kid you not, one of his top 5 reasons why Purdue should be #1 over UConn…motivation! Purdue is more motivated than any other team in the country because of their loss to a 16 seed in the 1st round last year and thus, that makes them...

He didn’t even kick his leg out. He was fairly vertical with both legs

Kentucky is the darling of CBB. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of that Kentucky NIL pot finds it’s way to a few zebras…

And then they go and call a defensive foul on the Aggies on Reed Shephard’s 3 point attempt. It was a light scrape coming down from the contest. Never seen such blatant one sided officiating. Feel bad for the Aggies actually but they look like they are going to pull through

Bump. Go look at the box score and focus on the bench production from tonight’s game against St. John’s. It’s worrisome to say the least. We are going to need Jay Stewart’s development at some point. That said I’m going to enjoy this win. Merry Christmas

This is a good thing for the long run. Really is, if you consider the fact that freshman will get more run and make strides for March and onward

Every fan base of every college or pro team in the entire world praises they’re team when they win and criticizes they’re team when they lose. The idea that fans think they know better than the staff because they have criticisms or point things out is actually one of the most ridiculous and...

There are at least 3 nba players just on UConn’s roster alone. Every post from you is not only wrong but it’s actually quite depressing to read. I feel bad for you. It is easy to tell you are sad and lonely man.

Replying so I can come back to this post later. No one thinks they know more than the staff. It’s okay to have suggestions and opinions for an organization that you love and you want to see succeed. It is just pointing out small puzzle pieces that may be missing and trying to suggest how the...

Cam Spencer has been giving away more open lane drives than a toll booth

He has a strange shooting form and while it’s very solid and it works most the time it’s going to be inconsistent. He misses long very often

Between Karaban, Spencer and Ball not playing well. I still stand by my take that there is some room to get Stewart in the game to see what he can provide in games like this.. When two of those guys are playing well maybe not, but this game and the Kansas game..maybe Stewart can at least give...

The reffing between tonight and the Gonzaga game was wildly different. It’s two entirely separate leagues. Seton Hall had a license to kill all night long and they used it. The good news, the adversity should prepare UConn well for the tournament once again, as long as they get through...

You answered the question I had. Thanks

Does margin of victory not factor into the algorithms at all? I’m sure it does to the committee. But do algorithms take that into consideration? If not; they should. If you beat a sub 300 team by 40 and only beat a team at 175 by 5 points that should be looked at

I was at the Gonzaga at UW game tonight. UW won because they won the paint battle and out-rebounded the Zags. They closed out well enough on 3’s down the stretch and Gonzaga went cold the last 10 minutes. We can definitely do the same. Clingan and Johnson need to hold it down and win the match...

I’ll admit to that. I do. I’m involved with a lot of the basketball community here and know people who know Jaylin but I don’t know Jaylin personally Also, very excited to see a hometown kid actually choose my favorite program for once. It’s rare to see a kid from here go to UConn so I really...

I only did that and continue to point it out because people here keep making the point that games against teams like Kansas and Texas etc are above his level. I don’t think that’s the case. My point is he has played in games against that type of talent pool and he was also a starter on one of...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Stewart is no stranger to elite competition. He will absolutely have a positive impact in bigger games as well. Just because he hasn’t had that opportunity yet doesn’t mean it’s impossible or even unlikely. Have a great weekend

@navery12 what is so amusing or ridiculous about what I just said? Is it really that off base? Also, regardless if you agree or disagree would appreciate a bit more respect as opposed to a laughing emoji every time I post

Let’s not overthink this guys. Stewart has been deserving a little more time and he got it today. He extended the lead from around 2 or 3 points to about 8 or so points in just a few minutes in the first half. He gave us valuable minutes and gave Karaban a nice long breather allowing Karaban to...

I was at this game. Surrounded by Zags fans in my UConn attire: The atmosphere was electric. Classic!

Just a totally different philosophy for me. The group we had in was the reason for the deficit. So imo you try something new. This is way I prefer to lurk than to post. I’m sure a few here would be fine with that too

Interesting. I would argue we have a lot less to lose in a game on the road where we are literally expected to lose and we are the underdogs vs a game where we are expected to probably win at MSG but okay sure. Cover your basis. Imo when your back is against the wall in a foreign land and you...

I am not even trying to argue that the results would have been better. I am just saying it would have been worth a try to play just one of them for a few minutes. I’m getting absolutely blasted for a perfectly reasonable and straightforward take.

I’m not saying it’s easy but I think it’s necessary because as you stated, they will transfer out these days if they don’t feel needed or wanted. So imo it’s even more imperative than it ever has been to get them some burn. Even its just a few minutes in the first half when your starter is...

It has less to do with improvement and more to do with opportunity, is my point. There wasn’t some drastic change in three weeks with Bouknight. He was just literally given more playing time

No, but half the board got on me when I suggested he should have played more minutes than he was getting early on. Just like what is happening now. God forbid you have an opinion contrary to what coach Hurley does. I’m not saying I’m an expert. I personally just think he’s too tentative when it...

Ok then, so should we have tried one of them against Kansas or not? My answer is we should have tried one of them for a few minutes, more specifically in the first half. I prefer Stewart out of the two. I will go out on a limb and say right now that Stewart should get at least 2-4 minutes...

I am going to bump this thread in a few weeks just like I did with Bouknight. Everyone that laughed at me last time then got angry with me after I bumped the bouknight thread years ago

Jaylin Stewart was an all-state player here in WA and led historic Garfield HS to a 3A state championship as a leading scorer. An accomplishment in line with other NBA players that came before him in this region. Brandon Roy, Will Conroy, Rainier Beach and Franklin alums like Jamal Crawford...

I’ve always been an advocate for experimenting and exploring the young pups early and as often as possible in the beginning of the season because you never know how it can blossom. Sometimes and often nothing comes of it, but sometimes it does and when it does it’s amazing to see. I was a huge...

Okay, so who in here said anything about Cam not taking the last shot or not being in during crunch time? It’s interesting how an idea is conflated into another idea of something that is completely unrelated on this board.

Also, would love to see if you come back on here and call my idea crazy if and after Stewey gets a couple minutes vs UNC tomorrow.

The idea that throwing in one or two Top 100 freshman in a game for couple of minutes, and when we are expected to lose anyway with two starters injured, isn’t crazy at all. I remember a certain coach who used to do this all the time, especially when his starters weren’t playing up to par, what...
