AAC MBB Media Day

[UConn3432]

That tournament was pretty much teams from the middle of the pack of the Old Big East playing for a trophy.. playing PC would probably end up on espn3 if lucky

or worse, FS1

Ollie says as long as he sees his players get "the best #uconn has to offer" in way of support for players, "then I'm not going anywhere."

YES

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

St. John's would be nice but PC? might as well schedule seton hall or depaul

PC>>>St John

PC won the BE tournament last year, to Johnny that's worth a Larry O'Brien trophy or two.

I'm pretty sure it was the Missouri Valley Conference they won.

I find this interesting. The AAC coaches certainly continue to communicate that the American will keep pace with the P5 for player benefits, but that's not stopping Ollie from using the mic to tie his commitment to UConn to it.

PC>>>St John

The return game for St J's is at MSG.

MSG>>>>>>>>>>>> the Dunc.

He's north of 70. Prolly give him a little leeway.

Ollie on one of the reasons he stayed at UConn. “When your wife is happy your life is pretty good.”

Truer words have never been spoken.

Can someone tell Jon Rothstein to zip up his pants when it comes to SMU.

SMU is a nice little team. Who was great at home. And AWFUL on the road. Losses to USF, Temple, and first round AAC exit to Houston. It's why they were an NIT team.

The vote was basically tied. I don't think that's a crime.

John Rothstein is in permanent masturbatory mode RE college basketball. Never seen a team he didn't like.

It's an offhanded remark that kids can't make consistent lay ups. Therefore a made lay up should garner more than the long range shot.

Or that they are so focused on 20'-6", that they aren't executing the simplest of high percentage shots.

You stated it the way I meant it. Now can you translate chaps with equal proficiency?

Sometimes. That guy is hit or miss. Either I understand it completely or I'd be better off if he left it in his native language.

He's a mensa dude. I sometimes find his shtick entertaining. But more often it's a miss for me. Don't care for his arrogance at all. And man does he bring sdhusky to a boil!

My understanding is that he made this pretty clear in his contract negotiations as well. In other words, as long as UConn does everything they can to keep this a first-rate program, he's going to be the coach of it.

I thought I read in an article that Markus Kennedy may be ineligible?

Yep! It's an insurance policy. I'm not worried as long as Sue Herbst is president. But any future presidents know up front what will happen if they change things.

You did. He needs to do some work to meet eligibility standards.

Young teams often struggle on the road, but young players grow up and become savvy upperclassmen who win on the road. SMU will be strong. Which is good because with Louisville departing we need the other schools to step up.
