Coaches show in 20 minutes. Injury updates 👀

Don't understand why people are upset at Hurley? You aren't paying to expect to see someone play, who ends up not playing... its purely strategy to kneecap the opponents game plan. I care more about a win instead of whether Bouk plays.

That's the bottom line....we need wins against the BE "tourney" teams if we hope to make the Tourney. Bouk or not our body of work needs work....we're hanging our hat on USC & BE road wins vs the bottom of the league.

I agree, That's why I don't support or watch the mens program anymore too much drama. I strictly watch the our girls play. Coaches want more fans in the stands but they don't give a damn about the fans.

That's the first time in my life I've ever seen someone say that teenage and college age girls have less drama than teenage and college age boys! 😂

if you're a UConn fan going to a home game i agree but we cant speak for everyone. i'd pay to see a lot of individual college players as opposed to their teams as a whole e.g. cunningham, sharife cooper, mobley, (bouknight if i were neutral).

put another way, an away game featuring UConn would have been more likely to sell out with bouk playing than without. UConn, PC, and Creighton are probably the only BE teams from a smaller city/town where a majority of the people root for them. the other BE citites are huge and have a lot of fair weather fans with multiple rooting interests, so lots of people there might pay to see bouk when he's in town as opposed to the home team.

in the nba, individual superstar players are definitely a bigger draw than the teams and i've been screwed several times by teams resting the stars when i go

First time I've seen a semi-colon from you! Stated intention was aspirational and with your guidance and constructive criticism as a foundation I am hopeful I will --one day-- reach some semblance of your status as a respected BY literary critic.

In the meantime, I'm sure you and the guys will try to convince me of the wisdom of the Left Brain path of looking at punctuation.

I know this is a totally "left brain" type of thing to say, but that "left-brain, right-brain" business has very little scientific validity. Just saying...

Kind of surprised at your response. Nevertheless, a popular book that discusses this issue is" Start With Why" by Simon Sinek. An author/lecturer that created a following as a result of his famous TED talks presentations. In the aforementioned book in Chapter 4 titled "This Is Not Opinion, This is Biology" it discusses, among other things, the roles of left and right brain functionality/orientation re: decisions people make and how they're influenced.

My personal opinions are shaped by many other medical experts. This happens to be a more contemporary perspective that a casual student could absorb. If you are employed in the Real Life business world, this book would be recommended reading .Figured you, Hans or Lurker could do some forensic fact checking to validate.

Don't want to derail OP. Enough said.

Here’s some input from various posters...

“Ok. Here’s the deal with Bouknight:
he wants to play and I have no idea if anyone is advising him to sit but if so he is not listening to that.
He is practicing now, just not full contact. He wants to be back for the seton hall game but Hurley is intent on him having a few full contact practices first. Like it or not, Hurley doesn’t want to play anyone if they don’t have a few real practices first. Expect him back for Providence game.”

“I can guarantee you I have more information on this subject than you’ll ever have access to. Stop spreading BS that you know nothing about. I have more than 1 inside connection with the program and the target as of right now is to have him try to go for 10-15 mins on 2/6 against Seton Hall. I don’t really care who you are or who you think you are. Shut your mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about which in this case, you don’t.”

“Bouk will be back this year. Just heard it from the man himself. One of my roomates coincidentally met him last year and they’re “friends”, which is a loose term. He was just on FaceTime with him in my living room yesterday and he told him that he’ll be back “before March madness”. Which I took to mean that he’ll be back this year without giving too much information.”


And let’s not ignore his coach basically saying he’s good to go anytime in the next 3 weeks.

So..., it's a definite maybe?

I see your reference to a motivational speaker with no scientific training that I know of, and I raise you an actual study.

Intentionally or not, Hurley has been far from a model of clarity on this, and I think that's what has some people confused and others frustrated.

At first it was a nothingburger; then we found out about the surgery after the fact and it was reported to be 2-4 weeks; then it was 4-6 weeks; then it was "you'll see him when you see him" and "anyone's guess"; and yesterday it was 4-7 weeks.

I told you. He’s heading to the CIA. Hurley has been warned to stay quiet and deflect

Interesting but a little dated wouldn't you say? Anyway, I see no need to defend the opinions of the medical experts quoted in this book by Sinek and if you were to peruse it. You would clearly see that they have substantial credentials and credibility.

The left brain/right brain dynamic is not a new medical discussion. It's been around for quite awhile.

The fact that you're attempting to diminish the credibility of the author because of his vocation rather than his informed knowledge of the topic(from medical experts) is simply.. Left brained.. You're not looking at the Big Picture.

As any good attorney will tell you .If you do enough research on an opinion to support your intended position on behalf of your client, you can find it.

A good mental exercise to expand the plasticity of the brain. Learn.Unlearn.Relearn. Give it a try. Builds new neural pathways.

Refer to response sent to 8893 somehow by mistake.

In the interest of brevity I probably wasn't specific enough in my comment. There is of course tons of scientific credence to the idea that different areas of the brain are specialized for different functions. I have not read the work you are referencing, but I suspect the author cites science that addresses this localization of brain function. What he can not have done is reference reputable scientific sources that take the next step and assert that individuals are "left-brained" or "right-brained" due to increased activity on that side of the brain resulting in exaggerated personality traits. He can't make such references because they do not exist, to my knowledge. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

This is a beautiful example of new age pseudoscience. A layperson takes some actual science and then draws his or her own conclusion from it. Just because their source information is accurate does not mean their conclusion is. These people need to be called out as frauds, not lauded and given TED talks.

TL;DR: Specialized functions in certain brain areas: real. Individuals being right- or left-brained: not supported by any known evidence.

Discussion is over. Let's talk BB . We agree to disagree. Let's move on to the OP.

Some people can't even remember that they said they didn't want to derail the thread, but, to be fair, that was a couple of hours and a page ago, and a lot has happened since then.

EDIT: Oh wait, we might be back on track.

I have no problem admitting that I am in no way averse to derailing the thread!
