Larry Bird actually started at IU but left in his first month there and ended up at Indiana St. I believe more about culture fit or lack thereof and not Knight that caused him to transfer.

Cuse only getting into big dance if they win the ACC tourney.

thanks Tom.

I know The Dove visited St. John’s and didn’t like it (who would, have u seen it?) and the rest is history. I think it was more he didn’t like the campus as opposed to not liking the visit/people hosting per se. not sure if that is who u were thinking of.

Marlon “Moochie” Starling! a hell of a fighter, Hartford native and former welterweight champion. I’ll never forget his knockout of Mark Breland, the Olympic champ, in an unforgettable fight.

I think the point u are really making is Calipari does a great job of identifying the best of the best high school talent projecting that talent as NBA prospects not necessarily as talents that will maximize Kentucky’s on the court performance as a team (or individual for that matter) in the...

I would argue, based on the inconsistent whistle in the last 5 minutes or so, that our refs had money on Hall and the 10-11 pts. so they succeeded. suspend the 3 of them and check their venmos/PayPal’s/and equivalents!

thanks all for your replies. much appreciated!

Does anyone have any experience flying Avelo - good, bad, or indifferent? What about flying in/out of Tweed? I decided to fly to Chicago Midway via Avelo this trip as non-stop and convenient from Trumbull.

my cable guide also shows UConn-Central replay Weds. 8AM on FS2

My comment to the "it can't get worse than this" post above is based on expectations. those Perno teams were clearly better than this year's injury-devastated Husky edition and would beat them convincingly. That was not my point. I was simply saying that YES it can get worse than this based...

really? too young to remember the Perno years? I gather that many of the loudest complainers are the youngest here on the Yard, not scientific, just a guess but an educated one. they don't know how bad it was in the Perno years (underachieving teams that had NCAA-worthy talent.) There is...

My heartfelt condolences Mau to you and your family at this very difficult time. 91 years is a fantastic run! Thanks for sharing as you are one of a very select circle of original Yarders and we are, after all, one big, loopy, dysfunctional family here.

I think another big issue when it comes to selection Sunday (and I haven't seen this posted here, forgive me if it has) is the fact that we will have played without a big piece (Amida) for 6-8 weeks AND the fact that this big piece will be returning during the regular season and into the...

yea, I already posted this in the ticket exchange but there are significantly more eyeballs here.... can anyone help a longtime Yarder out? A good friend is an Ohio St. alum who recently returned to CT. I imagine this is a long shot but if anyone has 4 extra for sale to Ohio St. @ Gampel...

Stowe B (old South campus) all 4 yrs ('81-'85) - had a great time! no basketball players any of my yrs but did have 2 soccer stars for one yr in Kieran Coffey and Eric Myren. My freshman year we were named "party dorm of the year" by one of the frats (although I did little to help the...

@ West Orange HS in a great charity all star game, the Mary Kline Classic, put on by Alex Kline, recruiting savant, in honor of his late mother. proceeds to several cancer charities. If anyone is attending, please post your thoughts on Jalen and Stephen. I can't make it this yr unfortunately...

Stu, my sincere condolences on the passing of your Dad. I am sure you will smile many times daily thinking of all the pleasant memories your Dad gave you. God bless you and your family. Steve85

A reminder Jalen will be playing in this BallisLife All America games live tonight @ 8pm EST on CBS Sports Network.

OP, as others have said, please edit your subject line. re: the Wooden Award, I lost all respect for the award and what it stands for when Emeka didn't win it in 2004. The Wooden is supposed include as a major consideration (half? not sure, too lazy to look it up) academics. We all would...

yes, Mau and who can ever forget the very forgetful Brian Buckelew (sp?), a 2G who transferred out of Storrs! Earl was THE Man my years in Storrs!

Dicky V Baaabbby!!

for those interested, the Calhoun 1 hr. interview on Centerstage (with Michael Kay) on the YES Network will re-air this Weds. @ 1:30pm EST. set your DVRs.

I thought I would post this specifically to any fellow Knicks fans out there but also to NBA fans in general. I know that we Knicks fans have been a VERY frustrated lot these last 15+ yrs and for good reason. There is a ray of hope with Phil taking over the reins/running basketball ops but...

very true Pudge. I would add for college hoops in general (not UCONN-specific), Off the Glass from the mid-80's which included prominent CT AAU coach Wayne Simone as a founder. The magazine was quite lengthy although with the publication lead time required the news was about a month old when...

the former I believe.

I live in Trumbull and attend many St. Joe's games. Arkel is a talented, plus athlete who needs to play every possession. That is the biggest thing for him - consistent effort. He needs to work on his handle and perimeter game as well as a 6-5 wing. Big -time defensive potential. The extra...

8pm ESPNU, replay of U17 final vs Australia. game is actually being played now, or maybe already over...via espn3.com or whatever they call it. I will watch tonight.

thanks Hooper and 3Uconn for the rosters. re: Mustapha Heron, I heard he tweaked his knee playing in the GHPA over the weekend. have to believe that is the reason he is not playing.

any Yarders going to GHPA @ Crosby Weds.? County Line Nissan (Gomes and Waterbury guys) vs Hot 93.7 play game 1 of best of 3 finals starting Weds night @ 8:30. Perhaps more interesting to me and my fellow recruitniks, they are having a high school showcase game @ 6pm featuring 22 players...

Rdm, please give us a game report on both games. any other Huskies/former Huskies playing tonight? it is start of playoffs right? thanks in advance!
