Go Hartford and Fairfield!

[Iconoclast]

We all bleed Husky blue, but try to take a break and cheer for our in-state teams. Enjoy the simple Rockwellian pleasure of March basketball and underdog kids leaving everything on the floor. Or at least cheer for Pitino to get disemboweled by Stag antlers.

Would like to see UHart make the dance for the first time.

Not Hartford, they are no ally.

Hartford up 5 at the half. I like their chances better than Fairfield. It just seems like its fate for Pitino to make the NCAA Tournament, and for there to be a love affair (no pun intended) with him across college basketball to rebuild his reputation.

I have the U Ha game on. I hope they win it.

After the APR garbage in 2012, that whole school can slide into a volcano.

Thank you. The only reason I didn't add to my comment is because I couldn't think of anything that didn't have an f-bomb.

Could someone remind me what connection Hartford had to the APR issue?

My alma mater is going to bend Pitino over. Or he’ll bend us over, one or the other.

I think their president was leader of the APR thing or was talking UConn during it

Looks like Fairfield is done. How were they a higher seed in this tourney than Iona? Was it the games Iona missed from COVID?

#9 Iona 11-5 (6-3)
#7 Fairfield 10-16 (7-11)

The NCAA was looking for a local president to take up the anti-UConn press campaign. UHar stepped right up and destroyed UConn in the press at every opportunity. When UConn got the APR score back he said, "[UConn] should be very proud of their achievements. Everybody from the president to the players has embraced the importance of academics and we applaud them for that." In other words, UConn didn't embrace academics until he got ahold of them. Screw him.

The guy thought he had a lucrative do-nothing future with the NCAA. But nobody likes a rat, not even a rat. Emmert fired the whore once the dirty work was over. I don't want to hear it was just that one guy, UHar was good with the slander. It went on for years.
