Great Kevin Ollie article in the NYTimes

[rbny1]

There's a terrific Kevin Ollie article in today's New York Times:

Absent a Cause, Kevin Ollie Leads a UConn Team Motivated by Desire

Yesterday the Times had a wonderful article about Stewie of the women's team:

Advice and Accolades for UConn’s Breanna Stewart

I guess we really are New York's team.

NYT search hits UConn 3890, Syracuse 3070.

Jus sayin.

That's pretty impressive considering the one is just a nickname for a university that may not cover all references to the university, the other names a university and a city.

Obligatory syracuese.nyc mention.

I love this little tidbit(backhanded slap at the squid model)

Last season’s Huskies were one of the most refreshing teams in college basketball. They were not a squad of one-and-dones dribbling through the semester, biding their time until the N.B.A. draft. Connecticut was driven by a sense of mission.

Even in a great pro-UConn article, we get this: "The adults at UConn brought the N.C.A.A. sanctions on themselves."
Yes, bad job coming up with those ex-post facto regulations, UConn adults.

Also: "Only one of this season’s Huskies, the senior Ryan Boatright, was in the starting lineup for the title game."
Not only has Nolan been surpassed by Brimah, he's apparently ceased to exist.
Minor point, I guess.

Based on his game against Bryant, you cant blame them for that mistake.

That was "refreshing" to read.

Thanks, good articles. I liked the one on Stewie too.
