Does Pam Ward think she's watching college football ? "True freshman" is a meaningless term outside of that context. Pam Ward must have said it 30 times today. So looking forward to hearing it 30 more times on Monday

We'll see how things go, but I don't think it bodes well that you're playing starters 34+ minutes and getting only 20% of the available minutes from the bench against Seton Hall in December, even without Azzi available. If it's some kind of strategy to light a fire under some people, I sure...

Anyone else feel a little nostalgic for the Ron Artest Red Storm days watching VCU wrestling on every possession ? Good times.

Since UConn has been bounced from the Final Four 4 straight times by a crazy offensive performance by an opposing star player, it might be time for Geno to prioritize some individual defenders on the recruiting trail. They were obviously a very good defensive team, overall, but despite...

OMG, if the Babylon Bee was doing a parody of the Oscars, would it be any different ? The absolute pinnacle of stupid has to be putting Kobe' F'in Bryant FIRST in the movie remembrance montage. I can only imagine the number of people that devoted their entire lives to movies that didn't get in...

WTF is going on here ? Weird thing is, go to literally ANY college athletics website and they're all exactly the same. The only thing that's different is the mascot logo and the school colors. The website is completely unusable junk. At one point I thought it was because they're designing...

At the Sporting News I say interesting because, of the 33 teams, I think UConn is affected in quite a few. Obviously, best team NOT to win in 1999 ? Duke. Oddly, they think the best team not to win in 1995 was Arkansas. I'd say that under mines their credibility some. UConn managed to...

This seems to be happening a lot of late. And I think to some extent, it only happens to teams that have already played UConn. I don't think the average team is caught looking ahead as much as teams looking to get a second shot at the Huskies. Obviously, it's possible that was a factor for...

Certainly enjoying Dak and Zeke setting the table for years of goodness to come!

Good stuff going on for Yankee fans in AZ. Greg Bird 3-8, 3 2B, 2 RBI, 1BB - Back to it after a torn labrum that cost him all of 2016 James Kaprelian - 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K - Back to it after a strained flexor in April Gleyber Torres - 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI - Out in AZ to try some...

Kinda surprised there hasn't been a thread started on this, especially recently. My wife got me tickets for SPAC - seated section, thank God - for Valentines and wow. Had to see them again, so we went this weekend at Fenway. Stadium sound blows, but John Mayer and the rest of the band was as...

That game was epic, but such a let down. Hopefully this team can parlay the heart and soul they left on the court today into something really significant.

Anyone seen any of his games live ? Haven't seen much except for highlights. Good news for him is he's shooting 45% from three. The big question will be his height, but if he can hit from outside, that will make it tougher for the Nets to cut him.

That's really the best thing you can say about this team. Offensively they were offensive. Defensively the lane was a crapshoot. The shot blocker giveth and the shot blocker taketh away. Rebounds ? Eh, who needs em! Considering their many significant flaws, to get as close as they did is...

http://sports.yahoo.com/video/2013-14-pistons-top-10-170939009.html Just a tipoff - 6 of the 10 are Drummond dunks

At how frustrating it was to go from the Dream Season in 1990 through 1998, falling just short so many times. Didn't it feel like a goddam ETERNITY ? The championship in 1999 was the sweetest nectar because UConn had been so good so many times and just couldn't quite get over the hump ...

Just took a look at the numbers and the teams UConn beat on the way to the title this year is the most impressive yet. The detractors can say whatever they want, but if you line up the 6 teams UConn beat in 1999, 2004, 2011, and 2014, THIS is the best group yet. Just using a quick look at...

From Business Insider. I get their "charts of the day"...

ND really only gets offense from a couple players, all guards. They need to overplay at the 3 point line and make their guards put the ball on the floor and shoot mid range jumpers on the move or challenge our shot blockers. Allowing them open jump shots is horrendous.

All notable alums shall be in attendance. Adrien, Kemba, and Drummond were all in action tonight, but not Monday. Should be a full house.

He gets ridiculous love from the NBA guys. Played on 11 teams for 13 years, with major love from guys like Durant and Lebron. Then we're getting tweets of support from Pau Gasol ?! It is great getting so much admiration for the school and the program with an NBA guy like Kevin at the helm...

March Madness seems to have Adrien flying high. Starting for Milwaukee (who stinks) and making the most of it. Last night he led Milwaukee (again, who stinks) with 21 pts, 9 reb, and 3 blocks. Great to see a guy that puts in absolutely 100% effort all the time doing well.

My mother had plans to go to Nashville for the women's final four since last year, but with the men going to the final four in Dallas (she is a Cowboys fan, too) she's going to Dallas. She bought 2 tickets for the Grand Ole Opry for Saturday 4/5 - $73.50 each, and a Nashville Tour for Monday...

Somebody asked the question during the post game press conference about Shabazz, Niels, and Tyler becoming the first players to go to 2 final fours for UConn. Here's a tip for anyone wondering: Kemba Walker was the first player to get to two final fours for UConn.

And really, this bodes SO well for the future of UConn basketball. The man is already a really solid recruiter, but this really cements his position in the game as one of the best. What kid wouldn't want to go play for Kevin Ollie so they can get to the final four ? Just a really great coach...

I was thinking about this during the game. I love that this team (as with most UConn teams) is so unselfish and passes the ball so well. I marvel at the number of assisted baskets they have. But as I watched Mo Jeff get two offensive rebound putbacks I thought, "hey, those baskets don't have...

Remember: If you THINK it affects the mojo - IT DOES!

Carving out quite a little niche for himself in Charlotte.

Wow. Can this screw up get any MORE epic than this ? Never even dawned on me to check on this situation during the spring. He's not even in AAA, he's down in AA, and busy giving up runs in the season opener to the Yanks AA team. Good lord.

In all my years watching sports.... As hard as it is to beat a team 3 times in one season, it is DAMNED hard to beat a team 4 times in one season. ** assumes ND beats Duke. Otherwise, analysis is moot

Section 208 Row M Seats 6-9 PM me or email at deadrody@verizon.net if you are interested. The tickets are up on Stubhub for $10 each.
