    Questions About Stewart

    Is he going to get increased minutes going forward based on what we just saw? His 3 point shot got off quick and smooth and his size and athleticism are great. He is prone to foul and I wonder if his D is good enough. Alexis the much better shooter generally but can they be on the floor together?

    Best Coaching Staff In The Country

    Clingan said in postgame interview. All the players support that too. And they’re going into action doing what they do best over the next month hopefully.

    UCONN/Seton Hall, St. John’s

    Looks like St. John’s most likely. I want us to beat them soundly.

    Cam Spencer Appreciation Thread

    There‘s been plenty of it already here but watching his offensive ability recently really got my attention. Several things. Fade away shots when he has a defender draped all over him, he’s doing this a lot lately. Second, late in our last game he hit a 3 point shot while in a sprint catching a...

    RIP Stacy Wakefield

    Just a terrible thing. Her husband dies from brain cancer and she had pancreatic cancer. Life is so unfair, she was just 53 and he was 57. This on a day when we also lost the great Richard Lewis. As a Yankee fan I also always liked Wake and his unusual talent when he wasn’t trying to beat my...

    UConn’s Vulnerabilities Heading To Postseason

    This is not any kind of swipe or dig at our great team in this amazing season but seeking some honest takes from the crowd here other than we have a terrible shooting night. We go on the premises that everyone is healthy and playing well. And I realize that you can run into another team where...

    It’s A Lovely Saturday Evening Isn’t It?

    Especially when you win. After today’s game just wanted to express how happy I am with this year’s team. Now on to some serious cocktails.

    St. John’s Pregame Thoughts

    Garden. It’s their biggest game Saturday playing #1 an arch rival. We have titles, they don’t, and it’s Pitino’s biggest motivation opportunity in his new job. They got close last time, we didn’t have Clingan but Johnson had 16 in his best performance. Quick turnaround and Hurley and staff have...

    Now That Donovan’s Back…..

    Isn’t it amazing how in just 16 minutes of play the impact that he can have offense and defense? And on a night where we didn’t have shots fall. The team has done a great job without him holding down the fort because of the great talent we have but he will just make everything and everybody...

    Help Needed: Basement Water Problem

    OK I need a plumber experienced in permanent basement floor submersible sump pumps and to hopefully pipe it outside, for the Farmington Valley, or Bristol area. For 40 years no water and now we have it in an unfinished basement. Currently getting it out with small pumps and garden hoses but that...

    OT: Rock And Roll HOF

    So as I watch the induction yesterday I certainly respect some of these inductees and qualification for admittance but how does Dolly Parton get inducted and not Foreigner, Styx, or REO Speedwagon? And I’m sure there are many more snubs people can point to that are worse. Do these people listen...

    NBA Bound Stephan

    He’s going top 5 according to the gurus here, we have him for just this season. Can someone explain to me after watching last night how that happens? Hurley pulled him in favor of Ball. Sloppy ball handling, shooting touch, it goes on. We know he will be much better but geez no dominant talent...

    Our Non Conference

    Amazing performance and some here predicted it, but the national praises are already being shouted and there’s going to be a lot more to come for this team, and I’m much more comfortable coming at this from an underdog role. Don’t think that’s possible this season after seeing this non...

    Final Four Caliber Games This Season

    We’ve already had 2, about to have another against Gonzaga but if you add Marquette and Creighton into the mix. even if you figure that opponents can move out of this status, others could move in, we have 8 to 9 games that are at that level prior to the NCAA tournament. Talk about battle tested.

    Our Second Team

    There were times last year when Hurley subbed out 4 or 5 players when he brought Clingan in and we pushed our leads. This is subject to the opponent but if fouls are OK are we getting Johnson, Ball, and Diarra? Getting Castle back changes the dynamic of the second five by a lot because some of...

    The MAYO Turkey

    OK lately there has been a lot of articles on putting mayo on the turkey to promote browning and moistness. Kevin Bacon said he used it (instead of bacon) and it worked great. Mayo ingredients are eggs, oil and vinegar basically. Has anyone out there used this? And I assume you would include...

    Who Starts Sunday’s Game For Us?

    Do we have Castle Sunday Or Not?

    Why was my post deleted on the Castle injury thread? I made a joke that getting injury info out of UCONN is a very difficult task. Apparently that’s not allowed? Anyway, we had a game Tuesday, so I wonder did I miss a release by the team, coach, trainer, anyone?

    Big 12

    Football, money or both is the reason many wanted us to go to the Big 12? Pretty happy with the competitiveness in the BE. Pretty happy with the recruiting success. Now that we weren't selected what is the financial impact for UCMBB?

    Next Season’s Rotation

    This of course is subject to change but Spencer is going to start right, so that’s Clingan, Castle, Karaban, Newton and Spencer? Can our second unit be as impactful as last year’s was? How does Hurley use the roster and how many potential minutes do each of these players get? Understand it’s all...

    So You’re Telling Me There’s A Chance

    However Hurley finishes this year’s roster all we realistically want after number 5 is to be in position for a chance. And Clingan in the 5 spot is what makes that possible this year with a bunch of pieces around him. Don’t know if it’s possible to have his backup be as productive or...

    OT: Costco Sporting Event Tickets!

    Someone Pinch Me

    Yankees lost. No problem. Flat tire. Big deal. Market down. Ouch. Wife yells at me for usual reasons. Eh. Number 5 has made me impervious to all of the things that usually annoy me on a daily or weekly basis. I’m now in a very good place mentally but my question is this: how long will this last...

    Miami’s Defensive Strategy

    The BE coaches employed this thing of goading AJAX into hoisting 3’s and it has been followed into the tourney. Now Hurley has “figured this out” with Sanogo’s positioning further from the rim and having AJAX and other players cut to the basket giving Sanogo crazy assist numbers. My question is...

    What Changed For Us?

    Defensively this team has gone into overdrive and is completely different than during the season when we had that bad streak. Either that or ….the BE is way better than everyone and that includes St. John’s who didn’t make the tourney. Is it an effort thing? A new defensive scheme? Players just...

    The Reinvention of Our Defense

    The announcers talked about Hurley recognizing a problem we’ve had interior defense and Hurley having to make this difficult change mid season. I assume it was after the losing streak. My question is against BE teams it hasn’t been as obvious because they know us so well to counter it. Out of...
