Which is ironic considering Emeka sat for 16 minutes in the first half because of 2 awful fouls

And picked up his third immediately to start the second half. With Meka in the game, it was as bad as UConn v GA Tech two nights later

Uncompetitive
 
Who will miss coach k?

NJ high school geeks
Herbert Davis
Jim Calhoun
Dook Vitale
ESPN
Dook's' Drama Faculty
K's colorist

Have you seen their recruit rankings? Don't think they,'re begging on the portal to have a point guard.

I love it when our board hates our roster, good things happen

Not sure why everyone overlooks what we do have. It's pretty darn good
 
Coach 40 years ar a school and you become legendary and get attention....

Have a great retirement Coach K...you were good for the sport.

And...how great it's been to have two schools eight miles apart build such a rivalry....fun to watch.
 
The hate for K is ridiculous. Reminds me of drunk Sox fans at Fenway who have a hard on for the Yankees and start chanting "Yankees suck" even if they aren't playing the Yanks. K is a legend. My UConn fandom hasn't blinded me to that.

Obviously we won’t. But nothing will be lost to the sport. In 3 weeks nobody will care.

And in a year from now, when John Freakin Sheyer, whom he hand-picked, is failing, he will be comfortably distant.

Let’s talk about it

You won’t miss him yet you’re going out of your way to start conversations about him.
 
Wow, just an incredible game.

Major props Hubert Davis and the North Carolina starters.

Man, that backcourt of Davis/Love is so much fun to watch. Two confident sophomores who attack the rim with ease. If both stick around next season, along with Bacot, UNC will continue to be a really fun team to watch next season.
 
Not sure how to answer this.

K never really mattered to UConn after the Latener shot, and that was almost 30 years ago.

He is a Legend, and one of the greatest basketball coaches. But to me he might as well be coaching in Asia, as he had no impact.

For UConn to beat him when it's matters takes away any animosity or envy towards him.

So I don't miss him, but respect the hell out of him, and what he accomplished including last night's appearance.

It has nothing to do with UConn Fandom. There are plenty of big name coaches whom I--a UConn fan--respect and admire.

With K it is always, entirely, and only ever about himself. He is 100% a whiny self-absorbed creep.

I can't imagine why kids would want to play for him, apart from the bags of money.

Has anyone checked on Dookie V?? I’m worried

He had already declared him the best of all time. This is what happens when the media becomes their friend.

These threads remind me of the Chappelle Show where he did a skit on the Hater's Ball. You guys are all in the running for Hater-of-the-Year...hate hate hate.

 
Great coach did some amazing things. His program was almost as good as the build of our coach but not quite as he already had history. Most importantly, we can’t imagine the sting of losing to your heated rivalry on your farewell game at Cameron and then on the national scene. Love it!!

Great coach, glad he's done, would be nice to see dook drop for a few years.

As much as I disliked him in his later years at Duke, I salute him for his service to the country. I will also say in his years at West Point as a player and then as a coach, he learned from the best recruiting and game coach there ever was. That same man was a great friend to Jim Calhoun.

Except that K's team was playing and ours wasn't. Otherwise, great analogy.

Your rooting for Duke is more like a Sox fan attending a Yankees game and wearing a Yankees jersey so you don't get your ass kicked,
