Great article. I love Tarris's attitude and I'm excited to see his contributions in 2024-25.

If this is true, it could be a red flag if his parents are not trusting the coaches and wanting to micromanage. That wouldn't work here.

Great interview. Hurley has been very vocal about this, and I think it's inspiring to hear how fiercely he works to build and protect the culture of the program. Having grown up in the game his entire life, and having perspectives as a coach's son, a player, a dad, and coach himself, at both...

How many of us (myself included) thought Chet Holmgren was too thin and frail to make it in the NBA? Thus far he is proving the doubters wrong. I know it's not an ideal comparison, but hopefully Adama is likewise opening some eyes and proving doubters wrong as well. The biggest thing for him is...

I think he's far from reaching his ceiling, which is really a big compliment. From his limited playing time earlier last season to recovering from a foot injury and improving his conditioning, it feels like Donovan was just hitting his stride, which is why perhaps the selfish part of me was...

On Edey's conditioning- I agree to an extent. In a YouTube chat someone made what I think is a great point. While Edey plays nearly 40 minutes per game, he gets a LOT of breaks. Think of all the stoppages in play when he is fouled nearly 10 times per game,and consider how many times he gets to...

Thank you for sharing, Mariano. During the post season last year I was wondering what the bracelet Coach Hurley was wearing was about, with the words "Light of Aubrien" on it, so I did some research. That's how I came to know about your daughter and your family's story. What a remarkable...

I love his Dick V level passion and enthusiasm!

Hurley leaving for Kentucky is absurd, and I believe Benedict, among other things, is committed to working alongside Jim Mora to successfully build the football program to at least a level of competitiveness, respectability, and decent bowl eligibility.

April Fool's joke?

After reading the article it felt to me like your title was misleading because the writer himself didn't say UConn is not a blueblood.

Thanks for the explanation.

...but the article is actually well-written and I have no issues with it. I just didn't get the "international puppetry museum" reference with Jim Calhoun coming to UConn from Northeastern. @mlpavela chose to give the thread a misconstrued clickbait title.

Does anyone have a copy of the San Diego Union Tribune handy? I need to line my kitty's litter box.

Hurley's the coach, and he can say what he wants. I'm not a fan of the "bulletproof" thing, and it's not the first time he has said it. I would much rather he say " When we play to our identity (i.e. elite defense and offense) we are very difficult to beat" but that's his prerogative. Maybe...

Yeah, the officiating in the FAU-Northwestern game is horrific.

Obviously, I'd be thrilled to see them win another championship, and for Cam to win his first, but I am taking this one game at a time. With the very best of teams going head to head and lesser known ones believing they have a chance to slay a giant, anything can happen which is what makes this...

Respect for all. Fear of none.

I am not making a height comparison but I remember earlier on Adama's shots inside the paint , despite his soft touch, would often just slightly miss the mark but as time progressed his FG% noticeably increased. I think we're seeing Donovan getting more and more confident as those shots are...

I don't if anyone already said it but considering CCSU, Fairfield, and Quinnipiac all had good seasons I'm disappointed none of them won a conference tournament thus no NCAA bids. Maybe an NIT invite for at least one of them?

I checked the score while I was at work and saw DePaul was up 57-55 with something like 18 seconds left. My thought was, it would be nice if DePaul could finally get that ONE win against a conference team, but on the other hand a loss would ruin 'Nova's chances at a possible NCAA bid, so I was...

I hope Kenny Payne gets another HC opportunity somewhere at a lower, maybe mid-major level to develop. Seems like a great guy and has a wealth of knowledge. Louisville is not a great spot for a first-time head coach.

Maybe a pink suit. :)

We sometimes forget that college basketball players are student athletes. What has Alex learned on the basketball court that translates to other areas of life?

DePaul MIGHT be able to beat Pacific. Halftime score: Pepperdine 58 Pacific 9

I am really not a fan of talking back to the crowd at all, and don't think it should be encouraged. Now, I understand how Hurley and Spencer are both fiery competitors and all that, but I think self-control is a great strength in the face of hecklers, and chants from the crowd. I like to see the...

No "maybe" about it!

Big takeaway from this game is that we need to take and be able to make those mid-range shots against Creighton if and when we face them again.

They stifled him today.

The Bluejays were unable to fly through a Red Storm today.

I think Alabama left their defense back in Tuscaloosa...they have up 117 points! Kentucky also played extremely poor defense, giving up 95. Sounds like a run-and-gun NBA game.

I agree, and I thought at one point Xavier had a shot too but they've had a number of close losses which puts them on the outside looking in. But Butler couldn't trend up without one of the other bubble teams trending down.

Yes!

You saw what happened to Purdue the other night when Edey got two first half fouls, Ohio State exploited it to their advantage, and the Boilermakers never recovered. Again- we are not Purdue where we live or die by one man being out on the floor, rather we can hurt you in many ways on offense...

There is no question we are better with a full roster ready to go, and having Clingan out on the floor for the majority of the minutes. That said, we can't allow teams to make a strategy out of getting Clingan into foul trouble and then using it to their advantage because we are unable to...
