I’m not so worried about putting out a lineup of smaller guards. TNew and Spencer could both be beaten off the dribble. But when that happened, DC was usually there to negate the advantage, and the guards were smart enough to rotate to the uncovered player or to recover as the penetrator...

When they can funnel drives that beat them into the Great Wall of Bristol.

I could not be happier for and more thankful to Donovan. He’s clearly a young man with a ton of heart and loyalty. He stayed loyal to Bristol and his teammates and coaches there. He then followed his heart and stayed loyal to CT by heading to UConn. And his hard work and dedication has allowed...

I hope so. But UConn Athletics is already under water financially. He just got a new contract last year and is the highest paid state employee by a wide margin. Even with the success of the past two years, the school may not be able to open the checkbook far enough if UK throws $10M per at...

I hope you're right about that when it comes to DH. But I don't know him and can't guess what will and won't motivate him. He hasn't yet earned a ton of money in his career, and he says he plans to retire by 60. So, his window to cash in is relatively short. Is UConn money enough? For most...

I grew up in state in Litchfield County. Our family got the Waterbury Republican newspaper, and I used to see news about Tony Hanson while he was at Holy Cross. Then, when he want to Storrs, I would listen to UConn games on WTIC with him and Joey Whelton and later Jim Abromaitis. I was at...

First earthquake I’ve felt. I think there was a small one in CA once while I was visiting that I slept through or never noticed. Shook the house here in Redding for several seconds (20-30?). It felt like our out of balance washer was on full spin cycle in the room above me.

Biggest no-brainer of awards season.

Calipari's salary - ~$8.5M/yr. Hurley's salary - ~$5.3M/yr. I'd say that $3.2M/yr would be the detailed reason.

Completely agree. ISU doesn't look like they can score (and the moment is too big for them) against a porous Illini D. As the color commentator has said also, they look small. The teams that beat us this season all did it by shooting >50%. Illinois has a far better chance of doing that...

DOOMED!

Congrats to Steph! Well deserved. He and the coaching staff deserve a ton of credit for the way they integrated him into the team. I love the way his performance has progressed over the course of the season. As a UConn fan, it's sad that he will only be a Husky for this one season, but his...

This (jacking up prices at busier times or, wink-wink, dropping prices at slower times) only works if the other big FF business do the same. If Delta was doing it but American was not, Delta would lose business to American. Someone else mentioned the limited supply of airline seats being a...

Dybantsa, Sanon, and Harelson are all '25's that we've been linked to - though Dybantsa and Sanon are reclass candidates.

Yeah. I'd say that was a B game from our Huskies, and they were never really threatened by Gonzaga. Their offense was not terribly impressive (credit to our D too). They did rebound really well. I guess I'd need to see more of their games against Q1/2 teams to see how they are a top 10 team.

It is a blowout. 35-0 at half. Let's hope that continues. 8:44 and just about to kickoff the 2nd half.

I just think that Adams was a nightmare matchup for him on our offensive end. Adams used his advantages in athleticism to negate a lot of what Alex can do. He was quick enough to stick close to him on the perimeter to limit his three looks. That same quickness helped him stay in front of Alex...

Texas will shoot the three better tonight, even if just marginally. 2-17 is a statistical anomaly. But Shedrick will also not go 11-15. DC and SJ will limit his efficiency. My biggest concern is that Shedrick gets DC in foul trouble early. DC has to play for position then stay straight up on...

Maybe they have a summer house in Northborough? :) (My wife was raised in Shrewsbury, so I know the area a little.)

Yeah. I lived off of High Ridge about 15 years ago near Bull's Head and used to hit Fusaro's whenever I wanted a meatball or chicken parm sandwich (once a weekish). It's a very family-owned Italian deli experience. I still stop there when I'm in Stamford. My Naples, IT born father-in-law...

My 12 year-old got called for it in her travel league after I taught her to wrap her hand around the side of the ball at the top of her dribble. To be fair to those refs, she was getting her hand all the way under the ball and holding it up for almost a full beat before turning her hand over...

How much does the Flaggs' reported move to FL to be close to Cooper while he's in HS there mitigate/eliminate our "close to home" advantage? Despite the move, I'm sure the Flaggs still will have connections to Maine. But, if they're taking up residence in FL, is that just a one year thing? I...

Alex looks a little thicker through the shoulders to me. All that S&C time paying off.

From your keyboard to God's...ummm...inbox?

Looks like Cofie's HS team played Jaylin Stewart's last season, so they probably know each other.

Good spot for Andre. I like him joining a good team where he can do Andre things without having to be a scorer to bring great benefit to the team. Congratulations to a terrific young man and lifetime Husky!

Bilas has lost me. Not a good defender? How many breakaways did Hawk chase down and block or stop? I saw him step up and get in guys' grills many times. It's lazy to just see him as a shooter and not recognize the defense the kid played when he was also putting in the effort he was on...

I hope that wherever they end up getting picked, they make all of the teams that picked before them regret not taking them. Have great careers! We'll be rooting for you.

ESPN has Wood ranked as the #4 N.American skater in the draft. Pretty good chance he goes top 10.

I think we'll see Newton, Spencer, and Castle as the starting 1-3 but be somewhat positionless. At the 6-8 minute mark, we'll see a rotation develop that keeps 2 of those three on the court at all times in competitive games and all three back on at the end. All of this depends on Castle being...

That clip should be posted on every recruiting thread. It's so true. I spent my college years in a cold-weather city. Fall terms I was able to stay focused. Once we got to April in spring, however, it was much harder to keep focused on studies. I looked at a west coast school with a...

I was in Worcester too for the NC State game. It was not a pleasant day. But I won’t hold that against Boston.

C’mon! At least put some thought into it! :)

We’ve also used stay-park-fly for early departures. The package ends up being a good value. More convenient at the hotels within the airport, and, of course, less money at the hotels a shuttle ride away.
