    Best blocked shot in UConn history

    The Emeka block was my only trip to the Palestra... From our view point his hand reached the top of the backboard...it was the most emphatic game ending I’ve ever felt.

    J. Adams under Ollie & Hurley

    I’m thinking of Jalen as the Sundance Kid... he can’t sit outside and hit threes, but he will wreak havoc if coach lets him move.

    Taliek Brown Joining Staff

    I’m happy for Talik as long as he’s not coaching the point guards. I remember that both Talik and KO used to make me crazy by holding the ball too long when they drove the lane. They got swallowed up a lot more than they should have. I vaguely remember Talik sitting a while during his...

    OT: UNC response to NCAA's 3rd notice of allegations

    I went searching the NCA website for the maximum NCAA punishment for use of ineligible players. All I've found is the minimum punishment of forfeiting all games in which ineligible players were used. I believe I stumbled onto what appears to be the basis of the UNC issues....copied below. If...

    OT: UNC response to NCAA's 3rd notice of allegations

    Are you sure the ban is limited to one year? My thoughts were that UNC did it for nearly 20 years with the frequency of a systemic process. If you go after "how many" and for "how long you" may avoid the jurisdiction issues. ... I'll see if I can find the reg.

    OT: UNC response to NCAA's 3rd notice of allegations

    This seems so complicated with its layers of misdirection. I thought the athletic issue was if any ineligible athletes participated in NCAA sanctioned games, and if the frequency rose to a highr systemic issue. I don't care about the academic collusion. All that maters is if players who...

    Next year's starting lineup

    Who did you pencil in at the point and center before this season? How can you be absolute about the future decisions of the most creative coach in basketball. ...We never know what coach is thinking (until he tells us)...but we do know that Chong and Dangerfield fought it out for the point...

    Next year's starting lineup

    Gabby came in as a guard, Geno saw much more in her. I'm betting he still sees the flexibility, intelligence and athleticism that allows her to excel anywhere on the floor. She will also be our shortest starter, at the point, so let the other teams match her up with a big defender, creating...

    Next year's starting lineup

    I'm looking forward to see other teams' point guards trying to deal with our 5'11 point who is an assist machine, a world class athlete, a great rebounder, and jumps center. I have no doubt that Gabby will be a great point guard, which allows us to add a 6'6 center, leave Kia and Lou in...

    ....and if the Refs called the NC charge leading up to their last score the ACC would be done.

    Obey The Orange

    Can't believe that they posted these signs in the XL regardless of their intent.

    Below the belt

    While we were trying to force the ball into the post we kept throwing the ball in low, one of the announcers said, "Below the belt size doesn't matter." Bet he wants to take that one back.

    Two Shirt Night tonight

    It turns out that 8 logo' d items were required tonight.... sweating off some weight was an added benefit. Go Huskies.

    Two Shirt Night tonight

    I lied, started with three tonight and built it up to five.... Just added a logo hat, a sweat shirt and a Sarter coat for the second half... in my family room.

    Two Shirt Night tonight

    I usually wear 3 to 5 layers of UConn garb depending on the perceived mojo required. You sure one layer's enough? You might consider wearing another UConn shirt at the restaurant then covering any spillage with the clean white-out tee.

    Top 10 Best Teams at Scoring after a Timeout

    we just need Jalen to drink the cool-aid and every on else to listen. I think the drinking part is done but the listening.... not so much.

    The ultimate hoop protector

    sounds like a really smart kid...speaks 4 languages fluently at the age of 16. Grade point average over 4. And a familial basketball pedigree... why wouldn't Kevin go after him? OT: I met his dad's 7"7' teammate on an elevator at a Meadow Lands UConn game. My daughter was 3 or 4. When...

    weirdest basketball injury ever?

    Oops, it wasn't against us. Alan Ray of Nova had his eye pop out by a hit from Karl Krauser of Pitt in a Big East tournament game.

    weirdest basketball injury ever?

    That happened in a men's game years ago...since I was watching it must have been a UConn opponent. I'm guessing it was Nova. I'll see if Ican find it.

    This may not go down as a "great" win but...

    Some times I wonder how far out of the loop I am... I don't comprehend why any one here would want to demean the enormity of this win. Our guys aren't Spartan warriors trained to defy death in order to achieve victory. They are SIX kids, including two freshmen , who keep taking on teams with...

    A win with just 6 guys

    Checked online before the game, cuz injuries happen... Didn't know Durham would be out until we saw the boot as they broke the huddle. (Probably shouldn't use the word "broke" around this team."

    Congrats to the six remaining of our walking wounded. Nice win.

    Liked playing with each other to love playing with each other -Jalen

    I'm sure my reaction to the last two games isn't typical. I feel great about our coaches and our guys. Coming into the season we were so over rated, with some Not Ready For The NBA seniors, a slew of untested High School boys, and a transfer who underachieved before sitting out last year...

    Hamilton D League Triple Double and Game winner

    I get it. I have a hard time thinking of any guy who spent two years or less with the team as part of the UConn program.... they just aren't the guys who helped build it or sustain it. In some cases they left the team high and dry...taking years to recover. A have couple of exceptions to my...

    The worst UConn half of all time?

    It's loyalty time... Watch every game, leave at the final buzzer. WE ARE UCONN. .... The UMass game was my daughter's first at XL.... she came along to keep me company, was bored through the first half, wanted to leave. After the second half she was a fan for life.

    Hamidou Diallo Graduates

    I understand that my views are based on hearsay and conjecture but I'm close to screaming "NEXT " for Hami. This kid is said to be close to the team if not an honorary member. Diara is said to be his best friend. Yet he sits by as they are decimated, not sure if he wants to help them survive...

    OT: Former UConn Soccer Player Sues School For Unfair Treatment

    I thought the gesture was determined to be protected speech back in the 60's or 70's... a quick search turned up that it is "Almost always considered protected speech." I wonder if any one at UConn (a state institution) checked with the law school before pulling her scholarship.

    OT: Cataract Surgery

    I'm still taking the drops for the second surgery in four weeks. One of the three drops burns like a b every time, one burns some of the time and the last one is benign. I was told that the order you take them doesn't matter, so I use the burners first and mitigate their impact with the benign...

    Rayshaun Hammonds offer

    Don't forget that KO landed Brown who was top 15 before his arest. Kevin didn't have to cut him loose, but that would have killed this discussion.... so he let the Jonnies take a shot spritsing holy water on him.

    Cuse wins vacated from 06

    I was hoping for them to include the 2009, 6 OT game. Then it would clearly (?) be the longest over time game ever. That game seemed to be won and lost a hundred times, it would feel great to pull it out today ...like a shot of B-12. Go walk-ons.
