There two reasons why a kid especially an instate kid doesn’t go to a UConn

1. We’re not interested for a variety of reason primarily because we have better people than he or we don’t think he is good enough.
2, The second case he or his family just don’t want him to come here
For a multiple number of reasons.
If it’s one and the kid becomes a star then threads critizing our decision are certainly warranted
If it’s two any thread stating what a great asset he would be if we had him,is simple an excuse to troll.

Why can't number 2 be shame on him or his family for not choosing Uconn? Talent is talent and this kid is obviously good. All I'm saying is it just feels wrong him at lsu. Commentator even alluded to that with the Uconn comment. It's simply a shame he isnt playing fit Uconn. Not a knock against our program or waters or his family.

How is it trolling? Many of us on the board have followed this kid since he was in 8th grade and at one time he was into UConn. He's now one of the best point guards in the country and seems to make sportscenter every night he plays.

It hurts to see him doing it in a uniform other than UConn. It hurts to keep hearing people on ESPN say he came all the way from New Haven, CT. and our program doesn't even get a mention other than them saying he reminds them of Napier.

He made the right move for his basketball career.
 
Against Houston/LSU type level teams (at least near bubble) you have to be able to score to stay in the game. Both teams got open, drove and made shots. Lulls in scoring were short and followed by scoring spurts. Counting on completely shutting other teams down just doesn't seem doable with the level of offensive skill out there on other teams. UConn can't win these type games shooting 41% with 15 turnovers and 30 % from 3's.

Boston College beat Columbia easily. Princeton beat Monmouth. UMBC beat Coppin State.

Not as important, but Hofstra beat Stony Brook as well.

are you going to post all the results when a team we played wins? Or did I miss that stuff?
 
Are we still bltching about waters? He didn’t want to come here and we already had other guards at the time
 
Georgetown cuse. gt looks horrible. 5 fouls and 0 points in the first 4 min. Worse than us.
 
The block/charge call in college basketball continues to be a joke. Not even sure they look at the circle.

Seton Hall looks real to me. If they can get this one, it'd be the second time this season that they've gone on the road to play a solid team in a tough environment and won.

Myles Powell is Nice. Pure shooter. DJ HoggISH...
 
So much for Hall's veteran poise. 13-0 Rutgers run after it looked like the game was over. What a meltdown.

Yikes @ Carrington down the stretch here.
 
This Rutgers comeback is pretty darn amazing. The RAC is rocking. Seton Hall really collapsed. Is this Rutgers' biggest win in the post-Rice era?
 
Congrats to Steve/Karl (really tremendous guys and very likable guys). Great win for Rutgers.

Seton Hall is still pretty legit. Just a good W for Rutgers. Winning on the road is a Bit..even for a senior laded team.

Would agree if not for the fact that they were up nine with a few minutes left. I'm not sure they hit another field goal. Probably means nothing big picture but it's the sort of meltdown that rightly or wrongly has a fan base questioning things.

They did not hit another FG. Rutgers ended the game on a 17-2 run in the final 6:00, during which SH went 0 for 8 from the field and had 4 turnovers.

I said this last year and was vilified. He wanted a commitment that he'd be the primary PG from UConn. He had plenty of offers. Others here said he was down to UConn and one other. Not true. Gilbert and Adams were the issues at UConn, and Ollie's lack of guarantee.

Can't blame anyone in this scenario.

Also, don't forget that Ollie prioritized MAL over Waters. For that, he can be rightly criticized. Although with Alterique already on the roster, you could argue that size became a priority.
 
Good game to watch and the arena is jam packed plus OT can’t get much better than that .. Cuse n Georgetown

Pretty legit as in a 2nd weekend team in March. Kinda like Cincinnati where the ceiling may not be much higher than that. Neither have very good PG play.

Good points...

Cincinnati is a good comparison, though I think they have more upside than that. PG play is and has been a real concern as you note.

Meanwhile, shaping up to be a nightmare day for the Big East. Georgetown and Seton Hall blow games, Butler gets smoked by Purdue, and now Xavier somehow down 14 to East Tennessee State. Could work in the favor of the AAC if Wichita and Cincinnati win their games.

I was informed on here that Big East teams don't lose basketball games. What gives?

Really fun day of college hoops! Enjoy my friend!

I think if Jordan Walker can help at PG (should return soon that moves Carrington off the ball more) I would take SH over Bearcats. Evenly matched teams. Would be a tremendous game on a neutral court.
 
Mick Cronin's shirt was cut from the tablecloth Rick Pitino dribbled on.
 
WSU getting taken to the woodshed by Oklahoma. Cinci taking care of business at least.

Shockers around 15% from 3. OU 33%....and they took 40 of them.
 
Oklahoma has trae young but is not exactly a who’s who of five star players. That is a nice win for Kruger team...that is not an easy place to come out with a W.
