Hartford wins American East

[bolt34]

Interesting to see our former foes Hartford winning the American East tournament and punching their ticket. Before the game they were #199 in Kenpom and #168 in NET. This would only be the second (!) team that the Huskies have beaten that currently project to be in the field. Can only hope it helps in terms of the committee’s perception of us.

If the margin holds it could bump them to sub 160 in NET making the Q4 win a Q3 win. Minimal but could be the difference in an 7 or 8 seed.

What is your issue with U of H???

I have no idea but I love that it’s part of his brand.

I dont believe Connecticut has ever sent 3 teams to the NCAA tourney. If Fairfield wins today, the state will have accomplished exactly that.

I have a brand? I'll never forgive the UHar prez for smearing UConn in public at every opportunity for years. It was unfair and done in bad faith. That's the UHar brand to me, bad faith.

A great going a way win by U of Hartford today, team effort, serious foul shooting % and floor shooting. Congrats to them! Hope to watch in person next year and support local teams!

Plus their president was the head of the rules committee, when they totally screwed UCONN regarding the EPR or whatever that grade metric was called.

Yes. We all have a brand. UHart hatred is part of yours and it always makes me chuckle. Now I know why.

Anyway, my nephew goes there so I’m psyched for him.

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

The current men's basketball coach and a group of 18-22-year-olds have nothing to do with that. The current president, since 2017 doesn't either.

Good for them, represent Connecticut.

@Waquoit couldn’t even get in to UHart.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Find me another degen that won $100 on that UHart game. I’ll wait.

 

[Waquoit]

He couldn’t even get in to UHart.

LOL, I've had more that one ironic insult hurled at me lately.

You think I posted this thread because I watched this game for fun? ?

How does no one else seem to remember this? It wasn't even ten years ago.

@bolt34 love it

Congrats to UHart - 1st trip ever to the Big Dance

I remember the UofH/UConn game at the HCC when UConn sent big man after big man at poor Vin Baker. The entire baseline was filled with NBA scouts. We sat down low behind the visitor's bench and chanted "CBA, CBA" whenever Baker went to the line. We ended up being mentioned in one of the local papers. Hopefully we didn't scar Vin for life and somehow contribute to his future personal demons.

Fairfield up next vs Rick Pitino and Iona. Can the state final get 3 Connecticut men's teams in the NCAA's? Would be nice
