Thanks for the insights. Yes, I do fully appreciate the thoughts of many on this sight and come here for the same reason you stated… to learn what’s going on with the team from the insiders’ perspectives and the more helpful posters who have more knowledge than I about history and/or current...

Very thoughtful post and criticism. I respect your thoughts and agree with some aspects of your criticism. The essence of my post is that laypersons too often base their opinions about the behavior of experts on minimal information and a lot of assumptions that fail to give the expert even the...

Excellent point!

Probably to some degree. But clearly Hurley seems to understand now with the new normal that the transfer portal brings, that he needs to be mindful of giving playing time to young players who he believes will be valuable moving forward.

It was a joke oh serious and humorless one. No worship needed…. Just offering a reasoned opinion in a often nutty place. :)

I meant to put a laughing face emoji after the word “repent.” The tone of the post wasn’t meant to be harsh, just amazement and an invite to those who went overboard to laugh at themselves.

Agreed. Asking questions and considering a reasonable possibility (Is this the new normal with the transfer portal?) is not boneyard hysteria. But these are not the examples I used to make my point. I referred to posts that were drawing definitive conclusions of doom and gloom and Hurley’s...

Following the best season we have had in years and the announcement of the intended departure of a handful of players who clearly didn’t earn the confidence of the coaching staff to gain playing time, many of you decided that it was time to panic and reject your leader (Hurley). You decided you...

I agree wholeheartedly with your final paragraph. Also, that the NCAA is filled with strong teams on any given day. However, I wouldn’t minimize the wins against Seton Hall, Marquette, etc. Teams fluctuate in the quality of their play throughout a long season. Those teams had great wins and...

Finally a voice of reason. The armchair quarterbacks in the BY are unbearable at times. I would venture to guess that most of them stopped coaching at the 12 year old rec league level. Hurley has performed very well by all measures in the short time he’s been here. We have improved drastically...

This stat is the story of the game for sure. Not much else to discuss. Cole’s missed free throws were also critical. I like Martin, but must get more scoring from that position to compete with top 10 teams.

Thank you!! First because now there is some hope for us die hard fans to get our fix, and second, so I don’t have to keep reading about the sad lives of my fellow boneyarders!

Has anyone mentioned Wes Mathews (senior)? Not the best but should be in the discussion.

Flopping disqualifies LJ from any discussion of best ever. The mere thought of it would have disgusted the players of the 80s and 90s. You need to deceive the referee to get the better of your opponent??? If LJ flopped on Jordan or Bird they would each get into his head and make sure he knew he...

The most level-headed perspective I've seen on the BY in a while. :)

I know I'm late commenting on the game but, it's all about getting players. Take Gillespie and put him on our team. Or give us one good, strong, athletic post player. We would be vastly improved with either one of these scenarios. It's about recruiting and Hurley is on track to turn this team...

Okay, maybe not Magic... he would hit you in the face with the ball on the court when you weren't looking though.

Agreed. And I know what would happen to a Calhoun coached team if they were not ready to play. His iron will and his boot in your ass would make it so it never happened again.... this is why it rarely happened. It is like MJ, Bird, and Magic, they did not allow you to "not be ready to play."...

He began the year looking like an improved player, however, he has declined recently. He has limited athletic ability, almost no shot other than 2 feet from the basket, and he can't make that against bigger and quicker players. A taller player (including wing span) frustrates him because he can...

I've watched every Cincy - UConn game since we entered the AAC. This one went the way most of them do. They are stronger and tougher on the block, and their guards are up in our shorts the entire game. The defensive pressure is not countered by offensive aggressiveness (guards driving to the...

Carlton is looking soft again. Hopefully Hurley will light a fire under him. He is just not good enough to not play with a fierce passion. As a previous poster said, we will be hurt by teams in the AAC with a better front line. if he doesn't step up. Better shooting from Gilbert - good to see. I...

Great assessment of the game and the players!! I particular liked your comments about Bouknight. Even though it is only a brief sampling, he was extremely impressive in the ways you mentioned. He did seem to always be in the right place and unusually poised for a first game. Both he and Adams...

Agreed. The team play looked very good. Great ball movement - many assists.

Chief, it's great to see the Chief brief to start the season!! Though I just saw the video highlights from the game and I am struck by Whaley's confidence and ability to hit the short/mid-range jumper. I'm surprised you didn't comment on this. Last year his ability to shoot looked as if he never...

Rashad Anderson!!! :) Raining threes from everywhere! Okay, not great off the dribble (so we'll sneak a Ricky Moore in there to help bring the ball up and distribute.

I like your suggestion, I just hope he stays away from off-the court videos of Rodman :) That would be a whole other ballgame.

I am a past migraine sufferer. My triggers are not eating enough and eating chocolate, and sometimes an unknown cause. The solution for me is a prescription medication called sumatriptan. Ask you doctor. It has been a life safer for me. It has never not worked in erasing a migraine headache and...

I couldn't agree more. And would add that he must improve his offensive game (becoming a slasher and a shooter) or he will be a role player. There are many guys in college with his size and athleticism, but without providing some offensive firepower at his position, he can easily be replaced by...

Coach K does not suck. But he is not as good as Calhoun. Face to face in the final four: Calhoun = 2, Coach K. = 0. :)

Of course Keith Richards counts! He has lived in Weston for years. He alone, might make Connecticut the greatest rock and roll state. (Although he may be cancelled out by Michael Bolton).

Yes. Are you asking for clarification because it's obvious or because it's not true?

I love that Hurley is recruiting skilled offensive players. He appears to have a great shooting touch and from long range. The team that puts it through the metal rim more times than the other team usually wins!! We have struggled in this department for the last several years. As good as the 99...

I am searching for a 75 and over ladies sewing circle filled with meaningless gossip that some of you might be interested in joining. I'll let you know if I come up with something. :) Chief haters need to let it go. Be happy he's willing to share some hints of possible positive future events...
