Didn't they pass a rule that 6-9 can be used in jerseys now? I bet we'll be seeing a few more jersey retirements beyond this.

lmao at him trolling Castle for leaving Spencer wide open. And then Hurley telling him to take a lap or something? Awesome stuff.

What's Cooley's current contract situation at PC? Does it benefit him to keep these rumors out in the open so he can angle for an extension/raise there?

Tonight was quieter, but it was more circumstance than anything - we didn’t really have any big runs, and Nova took timeouts or made a timely basket when the crowd started getting into it. The place was completely packed, and definitely got loud at points tho. Just not the sustained noise of...

Meh. Keep the edge. We’ve been missing that for a while.

Nothing like a road game where you dominate the entire time. Was there, UConn fans did a great job, especially the last 10 mins of the game.

lol I wonder what this board would’ve said of Jim Calhouns first 13 years as UConn’s coach

There was some bloodlust in that crowd last night. What a wild atmosphere.

This is such an echo chamber debate. Like, nobody else around the country gives a or thinks less of us because the students stormed the court last night lol.

Completely forgot this is Super Bowl Sunday with the extra week this year.

Sounds like a real battle-axe!

Got first Pfizer shot Monday. No side effects outside of a slightly sore shoulder yesterday.

That UCLA team was super fun to watch throughout the tournament. Props to Mick, I initially thought his marriage with UCLA was a weird one and doomed to fail but it seems like he can build something special there.

Glad he's putting any discussion of him coming back to rest. Thank you for everything, James!

I think it's important to remember that this was Bouknight's first taste of the postseason. When Kemba made his run he had already played 2 BET games and 7 NCAA tournament games. When Shabazz made his run he had already played 8 BET games and 7 NCAA tournament games. Bouknight obviously had 0 of...

We're now 28 in NET, "28" in the AP poll, 17 in KenPom, 10 on Torvik... all factoring in that we missed our best player for 1/3 of the season. Literally, what is the justification for having us anything below a 7, let alone a 9? Is it just laziness?

This is not true

That was actually before he put in tonights results, he now has us at #10 overall (#13 offense, #35 defense)

For more context, URI and Wagner's ranks in defensive free throw rate while Hurley was their coach: 2018 - 308 2017 - 334 2016 - 240 2015 - 323 2014 - 231 2013 - 269 2012 - 333 2011 - 344 Doesn't appear to be random. So it seems like something UConn fans are going to have to live with under Hurley.

Pick your spots is right. He tried to jump over like 3 dudes for a putback near the end of the game and got lit up. Not worth the potential injury!

I don't even think he's hit his offensive peak yet either. Hasn't been particularly good shooting outside - on 3s and long 2s he's 19/60, or 32%. And yet he's still averaging 20ppg. If he rises to what you'd expect him to do with his jumper, we're going to have some fun down the stretch.

Yep, we're 293rd in the country in opponent free throw rate. Hard to blame the refs when it's been a consistent issue all season.

Seen this the past 2 games - we've done a great job at finishing through contact. Think we had 6 and-1's tonight.

Fouling is the biggest lingering issue for me. Even with a quick whistle, it’s been a recurring theme all season long. Especially far from the basket/in areas where they aren’t looking to shoot. We put them in the bonus with 13 minutes (!!!) left in the 2nd half. A good team would use that to...

Since his great opening game: 4.4 PPG on 24% from the floor (he made 6 baskets opening night, 11 in the 10 games since) and 27% from deep.

He'll need to do what he did yesterday every game if he wants that comparison.

His ability to poke the ball out on hedges is unlike anything I've ever seen from a big man before. An incredibly unique and valuable skill.

The senior leadership was apparent tonight.

We’re looking for a game on the 23rd? Where’d you see that? that’s encouraging news because having 1 game in 24 days is not ideal.

Another interesting note - Hurley says the staff has discussed turning down the defensive pressure seen in the first few games. It's good to hear that he won't be stubborn about that. Way too many fouls and not enough turnovers to justify it at this point.

Also said he'd be willing to add another non-conference game during one of the "bye" weeks if a team in the region was willing to play (specifically named Syracuse, Rutgers, and Maryland).
