    Karaban down the stretch...

    Wow. Those were elite plays in crucial moments down the stretch. He is one of my all-time fave UConn players already and we are lucky that we will most likely have him for at least one more year.

    Anyone flown Breeze out of BDL?

    Scored very cheap tix for a little summer getaway on Breeze. The reviews are pretty terrible across the board, however. Anyone flown them?

    Myrtle Beach

    I have never been and both Spirit and Avelo have crazy cheap airfare right now. Any recommendations? Would just be the Mrs. and me and our partying days are behind us.

    Old Orchard Beach

    Looking to do a quick getaway with my wife and 6 year old this summer and was considering Maine. I know nothing about OOB other than it looks to have lots to do for a 6 year old (she'd love the amusement park) and it seems to either be loved or hated. I like that I can get a decent hotel right...

    OT: April Vacay Recs

    My wife, myself, and 6 year old desperately need to get away during April vacation. Looking for recommendations for cool getaways on the water in New England/NY/Penn. We'd go the AirBnb route. Thx for any suggestions!

    Quarantine Replay Thoughts

    So before I "distance teach" and home school my kid, I've decided to work out to a "classic" UConn game to keep me from going insane. As of now I'm just choosing random NCAA tourney games to relive. I'm three games in. TL:DR summary, thank god for TCF! Game #1 --> Natty vs. GTech Quick...

    OT: Jail-breaking the Firestick

    Ok, can someone walk me through what I need to know before I do this? I'm not worried about doing myself since there's a million how-to's out there, but do I need a VPN? Is there a preferred platform? Does it enable regional sports, the YES Network, etc.?

    David  Wingett - Player Profile Over 11 games the kid shot 75% from 3... Maybe the man/boy crush was justified.

    Cool, local anniversary getaway ideas...

    My wife and I will be celebrating five years of marital survival in July and would like to do our first getaway sans child. We've done lots of stuff away from the New England area but not much within it. So I'm looking for any suggestions for somewhat local places (2-3 hours tops from...

    Crean to Georgia

    Good... Down w/ Hurley or Matta. Heavy on Hurley, but if Matta can do it, he's a big time coach. Source: Tom Crean finalizing deal to become Georgia basketball coach

    I saw exactly 0 seconds of the game...

    Is it worth going back and watching? Was there improvement?

    anyone know of a stream?

    Website for the streamers?

    I haven't re-upped with Comcast yet and I do not get SNY on Vue. Anyone know of a website where I can watch us?

    OT: Sorta... Were any of you at Chimirri's in Wethersfield This Morn?

    I had a short conversation with a big UConn fan who really knew his stuff... Just curious if it was a fellow 'yarder. Incidentally, Chimirri's is delicious.

    Am I getting old or...

    Is the college basketball product just becoming worse and worse? Other than the top, top teams and a few other teams with IMO great offensive coaches (ND, Gonzaga, etc) most of these teams are just so inferior offensively to the teams of the past. The players as a whole are more athletic, and...

    Something I (we) take for granted...

    So regardless of tonight, this year has not been what we expected. On paper, I think we thought we had Sweet 16 potential and we have been pretty eh. But, here we are, in March, making things interesting. My father-in-law is a tried and true Indiana fan. He was there in 75, 76 and has...

    Vital

    I really, really, really like Vital. I remember watching Frank Mason when he was a freshmen and thinking that there was something there but that he was just a little rough around the edges. Mason was a 3-star recruit, #131 , and was a late recruit for Kansas similar to Vital with us...

    OT: Draymond Green

    With two minutes to go, Green has 4 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals and 5 blocks. Google'd around and I don't think anyone has ever had a triple double without double digit points. The guy might be a , but he's a ridiculous player in the most perfect system imaginable for his...

    UConn Drinking Game?

    Just brought up in the chatroom... might make the games more watchable. Drink when... 1) Purvis steps out of bounds 2) Purvis blows a layup 3) Enoch runs into his own man on defense 4) Amida falls down or forgets to jump on a board 5) KO stink face what else you got?

    Only saw from 57-56 on...

    But there's some progress. Offense definitely looked more cohesive, we were running things, executing, etc. I know, Chaminade is D2. But, we've put up 90+ in back to back games and that is good for the flow. Jalen is very, very talented. Hopefully the team has realized that this is his team...

    Thoughts on the first half I've seen this year...

    Cord cutting issues have prevented from truly seeing a game this year... Thanks to those who periscoped but this was the first I've been able to really watch. Kinda wished I hadn't. Anyway, this is a pretty bad basketball team. We are utterly inept in the half court generally resorting to...

    UConn TV Question for the Cord Cutters

    So I switched to Playstation Vue for the Yankees a few months ago and it's been pretty great. However, I'm fairly certain that I do not get SNY or CBS Sports Network. Are there other options besides going back to my old cable company and doubling my bill every month?

    OT: Question for the Streaming People...

    I apologize for the ignorance behind this question... So the YES Network just got added to Sling TV. I signed up for a 7 day free trial to see how it all works. So if I keep it (which I imagine I will) to watch the Sling service on my TV would require a streaming device, correct? Do you need...

    The Half-Court O

    One last time for the season. Some people here have claimed that we run some "sophisticated" stuff and Kenny Smith talked about our pro sets, etc. For the first 20ish minutes of this game we literally ran nothing. It was one-on-one every time because it was difficult to even complete a pass...

    Thanks Omar and Phil (and Shonn and Sterling)

    Well, a fairly fitting end to an inconsistent season... But Omar and Phil deserve some cred here. They were champions who at times were huge contributors. Omar's frosh year had him a potential star trajectory and Phil's defense in the 14 tourney and recently against Colorado were huge...

    OT: NBA Rant

    So I just turned on the Celts/Bucks game and on the floor... #90 Amir Johnson #99 Jae Crowder #19 Jerryd Bayless #77 Johnny O'Bryant #28 RJ Hunter is on the bench 36 Marcus Smart is injured. So the rant, when did it become "cool" to use stupid numbers in the NBA? Why are there three...

    OT: Laptop Recommendations?

    Let's continue the off topic trend... I'm looking for a new laptop, on the cheaper side $400-550 ish max. I'm not a gamer or do anything special. I use the internet, email, youtube, and occasionally netflix. I don't care about portability; i.e., I'd rather have a huge screened laptop that...

    Sucks that Boat goes out like this...

    Really blows that Boat goes out, injured, in a hideous NIT loss at home. He had a great career and a fantastic senior season and might have been the most important individual player, to a specific team, that we have ever had. He had to work twice as hard as his "predecessors" to get his with...

    One of My Favorite Games Ever

    Loved it... Purvis sending a fark you to all of us by hitting his shots, hitting his free throws, and playing with confidence again. That was one of the best in-game UConn dunks ever. Phil played fantastic. Took his charge, played solid D, and stepped up and hit a J. Boat yet again showed...

    What's Happened to the Offense in CBB?

    In the 90s and early 00s we would average high 70s/low 80s a game. We were known as a fast breaking team that would run off misses as well as makes. We have slowly evolved into a team that runs 25-30 seconds of clock and relies on a high screen and a talented guard having to make something...

    OT: VCU/Nova

    Nova is just whoopin' up on VCU right now. I really like the VCU frenetic style, but it seems that "havoc" defense is basically just a euphemism for giving up absolutely wide open shots on every possession. Nova has just shredded them in the 2nd half.

    Sorta OT: UConn/Grateful Dead T

    So I was just on Facebook when I noticed an ad for a t-shirt that was essentially the Grateful Dead Steal Your Face template with the Husky Dog inside of it. By the time I realized what it was I had moved onto another page and now I cannot find the ad or shirt anywhere. Does anyone know about...

    OT: Wireless Router Advice?

    I have an ancient Netgear router that I have to reset no joke 7-10 times a day so I can use the internet. I have had this router since 2006 or so so it has definitely served me pretty well. Can anyone give me a rec on a new router? I am a simple "internetter"; no games, no major HD movie...
