Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2578949, member: 10"] From the Tulsa newspaper. This is REALLY depressing that the program has fell to a level that now even the Tulsa newspaper is saying this. I mean we're talking Tulsa here. [I]TU-UConn should be a tremendous association for the Hurricane, but TU’s move to the AAC coincided with UConn’s dive to mediocrity in men’s basketball. At 6 p.m. Thursday, in a ESPNU-televised game at Hartford, Connecticut, the Golden Hurricane will take a three-game win streak into its rematch with the Huskies. At the Reynolds Center on Jan. 3, on the strength of a 30-point performance by Corey Henderson Jr., TU beat UConn 90-88 in double overtime. At 14-10 overall and 7-5 in the AAC, the Hurricane absolutely is capable of conquering UConn for a second time, but a regular-season sweep of the Huskies wouldn’t pack the punch that it should because coach Kevin Ollie’s team isn’t very good. Now in his sixth season as the UConn coach, Ollie got his national title in 2014, but the program since has faded.[/I] [URL="http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/tusportsextra/bill-haisten-thanks-for-nothing-uconn-and-texas/article_2c89be79-d674-5279-ae6c-c2148d5b31fb.html"]Bill Haisten: Thanks for nothing, UConn and Texas[/URL] [/QUOTE]
