[QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3306403, member: 5787"]
[I]One positive way to look at it:[/I]

Two teams in our OOC schedule have really benefited from getting waivers granted, thus helping the quality of their team, the quality of the game we play against them and the quality of our OOC schedule.

[B]This week Buffalo received waivers for: [/B]

LaQuill Hardnett, 6'8 210 former Cincy recruit; Josh Mballa 6'8 210 former Texas Tech player. Buffalo is loaded with backcourt depth, but these additions are huge for a team with major frontcourt concerns.

[B]This week Iona received waivers for:[/B]

Isaiah Washington, the "Jelly Fam" guard from Minnesota averaged 4.3 p and 2.8 for Minnesota his last season with them. Washington brings major skill, but his conditioning will be tested with Iona's fast paced offense.

Mohamed Thiam, the 6'8 former New Mexico State forward is an underrated add since both NMSU and Iona play similar defense styles: full court press a lot. Averaged 4.5 p, 3.8 r in 11.6 mpg his last season.

Both Buffalo and Iona are favorites to win their conferences and these additions will even pad these expectations. UConn benefits by playing teams with even better depth than what was originally expected.
