If the rule committee is going to insist that officials call the game tight, then they absolutely need to switch from halves to quarters. We’re constantly stuck watching about 10 minutes of free throws, which makes for awful entertainment. Switching to quarters would allow fouls to reset after...

Anyone else watching? Incredible finish to the American East title game. Ryan Odom will be an interesting coach to watch going forward.

Only took them 4 minutes to lose control of this one. Impressive, even for a crew that includes Hess.

These crazy runs every team goes on aren't a concern? I know, the injuries, and they're tired, and blah blah blah. When it happens on a nightly basis for a few years in a row, maybe it is fair to question the coaches in this regard?

First off, this was a really nice road win against an okay conference opponent. The press wore them down, but they didn't fold when UCF cut it to 5 with lots of time left. With that said, they made it so hard on themselves after they essentially regained control late. UCF goes into foul mode...

The frontcourt that's been unfairly bashed all season (by me) is starting to look fairly strong. Facey is having a Gavin Edwards-esque senior season, and Brimah seems to be rounding into form after his bad start. Off the bench, Enoch and Durham keep swapping who feels like having a productive...

I'm serious - could be a fun little experiment to see how much people are willing to get rid of crazy Bob. I'd be more willing to contribute to that than the UConn AD while Diaco's still there. (And yes, I'm aware I could start this, but UConn football has zapped the motivation out of me at the...

This issue doesn't get as much attention as it deserves, but Miller consistently being in foul trouble creates so many problems for this team. It's hard to criticize the guy at all because he's been the team's best player all year. But he really does commit some boneheaded fouls.

So the two-time defending champs just steamrolled through everyone this year en route to a 20-0 season...and the #4 seed in the NCAA tourney. You can argue in favor of one-loss Cuse and two-losd UNC getting the top two seeds, but somehow a five-loss Virginia team got rated higher than UConn...

With his team aching for a signature win, he laid an absolute egg in the first half. He's not injured (I just saw him make an incredible, athletic defensive play to stop an alley-oop), so let's cut that crap. He's just playing bad. His team needs his A+ game in the 2nd half as their chances at...

Let me preface this post by saying this was a fantastic win. It was a sloppy, grind-it-out, painful to watch at times game. Basically, exactly what the 2014-15 Huskies need a game to be to knock off good opponents. They went about 3:30 down the stretch without scoring a point ... and still...

She's just a bad, bad person, and an even worse human being. http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/12/julie_hermann_makes_the_rutgers_pr_guy_the_scapegoat_for_her_gaffes_politi.html

So, I'm not worried at all based on 20 minutes. And seeing as how Stanford was celebrating a one-point lead like they won the championship, I'm pretty confident in UConn's chances. I guess I'm just a little confused about what the game plan was. Rather than running some offense and working the...

Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN Rodney Purvis will not be allowed to play in UConn season-opener for playing in too many summer leagues. Seriously. #anotherdumbncaarule I know the NCAA has been dragging its feet on the tiny little UNC issue, credit where credit's due - they're coming down hard on...

Unlike the season opener, which had you feeling like this team couldn't do anything right, there were some positives to take away from that game. Don't get me wrong, there is certainly plenty to vent about, but I at least came away feeling like real progress has been made. So, without further...

For congratulating a Little Leaguer. Only UConn.

Saw this on the football board - apparently Oklahoma State was able to avoid APR penalty because a player from the '90s just graduated. Seems fair.

Oh, Rutgers. http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/04/julie_hermann_it_would_be_great_if_the_star-ledger_went_out_of_business.html

This is pretty cool.

Nice to see him get some (much deserved) recognition. http://www.nba.com/bobcats/news/bobcats-guard-kemba-walker-named-eastern-conference-player-week

It's tough to be too excited about the win without knowing KML's status, but if she does have to miss extended time, Hartley playing at the level she did tonight would go a long way toward helping UConn overcome the loss. Hartley looked as good as I've ever seen her - her explosiveness going to...

Not a good start with that holding penalty. I'm over Weist.

His fate was sealed after the Towson loss, but you simply can't fire a coach after Week 1. But after this debacle, there's no way he should be allowed to coach another game for UConn. GDL needs to be canned and banned from school premises, too. I also want to see UConn hire Hathaway to a...

Can someone explain to me why Paul Pasqualoni is still employed by the University of Connecticut? That shark attack idea Fishy proposed is looking pretty good right about now.

Maya went off for 35 points against the Fever, typically one of the league's best defensive teams, shooting a ridiculous 15-21 in the process. She also casually chipped in 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks for good measure. I only loosely follow the WNBA, but can someone tell me if...

Wojo just tweeted that after all this, the Clips bent and offered the Celtics a future 1st rounder. I'm not sure I've seen someone get s*** on more during a poker match than what Ainge just did to Sterling.

29 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists to lead Phoenix to its third straight win. It's amazing what happens when you let your best player take the most shots.

Doty started tonight for the last time. It was the 126th start in her UConn career. Not bad for a player who's had to battle through as many injuries as she has.

I've been saying all year this team was a year from being legitimate National Championship contenders - I'm very, very glad to have been proven wrong. Just a flat out dominating NCAA tournament. The future of this team is bright to say the least.

Knight's been on the wrong side of a few YouTubes this season, and he added another one to his resume last night. Why exactly did he get taken over Kemba again?

I just wandered over the Louisville board to wish them/Kevin Ware well, and I saw a threat about our good friend Pete Thamel. Apparently, immediately after the Ware injury, this is what Petey boy felt the need to tweet: This scumbag has some bad karma coming his way.

Lost in all the March Madness was that Kemba once again dominated Brandon Knight last night - he dropped 25 points and had 4 swipes, although he did miss the go-ahead jumper in the waning seconds. This move in particular was pretty nice.

Let me start this off by saying this is a really good UConn team. When you're the clear #3 out of 300-and-something schools, you're really, really, really good. But they just ain't a championship team this year. I'm not just talking about this game, either - that was a laughably bad loss...

Rudy goes for 32 and 7 in a two-point win over the Knicks. Even better: he almost shot 50% from the floor. Kemba went for 27 and scored nearly 40% of the Bobcats' points. Even better: the Bobcats notched another L in their quest for that illusive #1 pick. Emeka goes for 17 and 13 in a win...

Check out the way he handled that loose bat at the Marquette-Providence game yesterday. Providence's teams really do take after their coach.
