Stats: 19.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.4 apg

I have never been a huge Boatright guy, but he has no choice other than to do it all for this year’s Huskies. They’ve struggled some, but not because of Boatright. He does it on both ends.

Prediction: The American Athletic Conference is weak, and UConn should have success. Boatright will continue to do what he does.

UConn should have success. Boatright will continue to do what he does

translation: I have a minimum word count, and I will write some words until I have reached my allotment.

 

[Stainmaster]

Written as if it caused him physical pain to say something positive about Boat.

 

[UCONN-NYC]

Based on his previous history of overall UConn disdain, I take just having Boat on his 2nd team as a win

 

[alfonse]

How is this possible? I thought he was not even in the top 10 point guards....

 

[Jay-Bone]

Laden with backhanded comments. I can't wait for if Uconn does what Uconn does like in '11 and '14 and proves all the pundits wrong again. Purvis coming. Hamilton coming. Facey coming. Brimah coming. Omar COMING! It's not going to be just Boat all season.

 

[BoatShow]

Boatright is the only scorer on the team. Other than the other 3 guys in double figures

 

[pnow15]

Boatright can readily be identified and separated from the rest of the point guard pack. He is the one wearing the championship ring.

UConn should have success. Boatright will continue to do what he does

Perfection

It probably haunts him that he had wrote anything nice about Boat/UConn.

Second time in the last 2 weeks saying positive things about a UConn player who he previously admitted he didn't like their games (see link below). He's coming around! He's still a db though.

He really didn't say anything nice("never been a huge Boatright guy") but he gave him recognition by putting him on his 2nd team.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Quite frankly, I wouldn't want him to be a "huge Boatright guy." Just the sound of it creeps me out.
2nd Team I'm OK with.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Who else was on the 1st and 2nd teams?

 

[patrick]

POSTER BOARD MATERIAL! !

 

[Rocktheworld]

This is what UConn teams thrive on.

 

[CallMeBruce]

This is what UConn teams thrive on.

What is? Having players cited as among the ten best in the country?

 

[bmayuc]

The irony of the year Boatright is having is that he missed the two most critical free throws of the year, that led directly to losses.

Now, without his contributions we wouldn't be near winning those games anyway, but MAN, that is some cosmic payback for last years tourney free throw shooting

BTW, I totally take that cosmic trade off ! Thank you basketball Jesus!

!!!!!

 

[Huskybass]

Boat is my favorite Husky of all time. I swear if I ran into him somewhere I would give him a hug. What he did on defense throughout the championship run makes him a UConn legend. Everything else at this point is just a bonus.

What would cause someone to not be a "Boatright guy" other than dislike of UConn. Boat is tough as nails, loves his family, plays great D, all-around great basketball player and human being (it would seem).

Goodman just say you've never been a "a huge UConn guy" and leave Boat out of it.

 

[Rocktheworld]

What is? Having players cited as among the ten best in the country?

"Boat is no Shabazz" (remember "Shabazz is no Kemba"?)
"I've never been a big Boat guy"

also general backhanded compliments and doubts
