    2023 Big East NBA Big Board

    Reasonable to think that UConn should have 3-4 guys drafted over the next couple drafts. Team is loaded.

    2023 Big East NBA Big Board

    Over/Under 1.5 Huskies drafted next year? I’d say 2.

    The next dominoes (April 14 edition)

    True—but I don’t think Dayton is even close to the market that St Louis would give us. SLU’s endowment is quadrupole UConn’s and larger than anyone save for Villanova and Georgetown. New facilities, fertile recruiting territory, metro footprint. There’s a lot to like.

    Big East Expansion?

    I believe the $4.5M is before tournament units get dispersed. So if the league is sending 6-8 teams to the tournament annually, and it’s approx $1.2M/game appearance, that check grows sizably larger.

    The next dominoes (April 14 edition)

    Exactly—the two are inside of an hour of one another. If we do move west (save for Gonzaga) we’re grabbing SLU.

    We got Newton. Who's Next?

    100%. I hope we’ve learned our lesson in having 13 rotation-worthy guys on a roster is a disaster. By season’s end the rotation is down to 7-8.

    Maryland zeroing in on Kevin Willard

    If not for Shaheen Holloway, this would be devastating news for the league.

    Predictions for 2022

    I don’t see the WCC going for Seattle or Denver. Both schools have miles to go before they’re in they offer any appeal to a league that’s on the precipice of sending 3-4 schools to the tournament. More likely is they poach the most attractive program from the Big West, maintaining this...

    FAU, Old Dominion, UAB, UT-San Antonio

    Good god—immeasurably thankful we dodged the UConn vs UT-San Antonio annual matchup…

    Big 10, Pac 12, and ACC alliance to spill over into basketball?

    Marquee games vs SEC, and cream of the crop in the A10, WCC, (hold your nose) American, and MWC in our future. Likely still get opportunities in premier Pre-season tournaments, ie, Maui, Atlantis, etc.

    2022 Big East NBA Draft Prospects

    Andre Jackson (UConn – So.) Jackson is a trendy breakout candidate for 2022 considering the Albany native was the second-highest rated freshman in the league last season, trailing behind Marquette’s Dawson Garcia per 247 Sports. Jackson’s athleticism is undeniable and the UConn staff raves...

    2022 Big East NBA Draft Prospects

    Adama Sanogo (UConn – So. — 2021 All-Big East Rookie Team) Sanogo was the last player added to UConn’s 2020-2021 roster though Dan Hurley certainly made sure to integrate the 6’8” big man in as a key offensive weapon for the Huskies. Evaluators like Gribanov see Sanogo as “a big body rebounder”...

    2022 Big East NBA Draft Prospects

    OT: Which non-UConn Big East Team would you root for?

    Georgetown’s success is directly tied to the league’s success. A historic team with a national brand. We should all be pulling for the Hoyas (save for 2-3X a year vs UConn).

    Podcast with UConn’s David Benedict

    Great questions—I admire how quickly he admitted how outdated the system is. Fortunate we have a school and state that were proactive in seeing this coming.

    Podcast with UConn’s David Benedict

    Keep up the good work, guys. Maybe former grad assistant Ben Wood. Ben just finished his third year in Tempe as Bobby Hurley’s assistant and was part of a UConn title with Calhoun. He relayed some incredible Hurley bros stories to Mike Anthony in a CT Post article. He’s a CT native...

    UConn & FS1’s Media Marriage: Beyond 2025

    It’s a great league for sure. 1st in NET in 2018-2019. Kids love the idea of playing for a basketball-centric school in a league that’s as high exposure as the Big East.

    UConn & FS1’s Media Marriage: Beyond 2025

    Here’s the best part: not a single game is hidden behind a paywall. UConn is watchable coast to coast with FS1 & football on CBSSN.

    UConn & FS1’s Media Marriage: Beyond 2025

    Feels like the league is well-positioned to do well in 2025. Schools in major media markets, NYC, Philly, Chicago, Indy, DC, etc and the league has an identity: basketball.

    Non-Key Tweets

    Remarkable. Completely forgot about BTM. I don’t miss the constant speculation in our lives. Curious what the MWC does if this is actually the case. A major blow. New Mexico State, Grand Canyon, UTEP, Western Kentucky all come to mind. Incredible how watered down these leagues become.

    OT: Book Recommendation: The Back Roads to March

    It’s been added to the cue. I like Feinstein’s The Last Amateurs which follows the lives of Patriot League teams in the early 2000s.

    Exactly—really frustrating. Started at $50 just 2-3 years ago and now there’s no YES or NESN. I’m all ears for another option.

    Yes—FS1 & SNY both carried on YouTube TV. The second they drop those I bail. $70/mo

    Predicting the teams that will snap NCAA Tournament droughts

    Remarkable that any team in the major six hoops leagues could go so long without stumbling into a tournament berth. Northwestern of the Big Ten getting their only NCAA appearance in 2017 was incomprehensible—the program began prior to the 1903-1904 season...
