Sorry, @RuffRuff it's part of my mojo now. @Matrim55 make sure to give a thumbs down.

NEVER FORGET

Every time I see this, I'm reminded of January 2023 when @freescooter claimed that 100 current coaches could have done as well as Dan Hurley, and I challenged him to produce the list. In response to my persistent questioning of him, he did come up with his first 10 and then stalled out, even calling me unfair for some reason.

IIRC, Boeheim and Huggins were two from that first list who soon retired. He never followed up further, unless maybe he's still working on it.

It’s called cupping, to increase blood flow in those areas. I just had one done at PT for a pinched nerve.

Made famous by Michael Phelps. I’ve always wondered how well it works.

• HailUConn

I saw a picture on FB with Emeka, Josh Boone and Ben Gordon. Nice to see Ben with all the others. Samson took some abuse on FB for wearing an orange jacket to today’s game.

Who ya got? AZ or MSU without Lexenberg?

We already took care of MSU.

AK deserves to go out playing his A game:

Now Chuck calling Hurley “little man” twice

 

[BFieldHusky]

In the most predictable thing yet, Charles just announced he will picking the winner of the Arizona/Michigan game.

Thank you Charles.

 

[Hoophound]

Everyone hates Hurley. It’s kind of funny, but it’s a little annoying too. He’s a great guy if you listen to him anywhere but on the sideline. Even there, it’s the facial expressions that cause it, not so much the words.

Thank you Charles.

He was very colorful with his prediction “and I’m picking whoever wins this game, little man”

 

[Scottobot]

But it sucks that Luke is going to bc, otherwise I would wish him luck, but not to the evil empire!

wish him luck regardless. He did a great job here and I hope he has success at BC.

Arrogant, spoiled, and always keeping it classy:

Back to the title game for a chance at #7. Major turnaround for a team that looked like it was fizzling out heading into the tournament. Very impressed with this group. Let’s go win it all!

Tarris and Braylon dominated the first half. Quiet for most of the second but pulled through when it mattered. Tarris clutch FTs and Braylon another clutch 3

Choosing to ignore a few questionable decisions to praise the great game for Solo Ball. Great shooting and scoring. Thunderous dunk down the stretch!

Karaban and Silas couldn’t find their shots but contributed in other ways. Karaban with some tough rebounds and good passes. Silas did a little bit of everything with nearly a triple double (7/9/7) including a monster late offensive board and the clutch FTs to ice it

Ross with amazing defense and hustle. Stewart only hit one shot but it was the one to put us up 14

BRING ON MICHIGAN
LETS GO HUSKIES

Nice performance by “Byron Mullins”

 

[huskiemaniac]

Easiest $50 I ever made except the ‘24 final.

Easiest $8000 i ever made if they can pull off one more win!

 

[KembaRunner]

Silas Demary shows out on loose balls, important rebounds and just badass my-will-is-stronger-than yours plays than any player in recent memory to me

I keep telling people this. 50/50 balls don’t exist for Silas. They’re 90/10 balls.

And his clutch rebound/tie up/steal (see: Duke) situation is unmatched. Guy is a boss.

 

[BugsyCT]

This is an SI cover-level shot

 

[AllHusky]

Made famous by Michael Phelps. I’ve always wondered how well it works.

It’s been in use for well over a decade(when was Phelps?) and hasn’t been debunked.

 

[huskyjawz]

It's good to be a UConn fan.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

In the most predictable thing yet, Charles just announced he will picking the winner of the Arizona/Michigan game.

Thank you Charles.

It's like a jumpstart.

 

[AllHusky]

@Hey Adrien! Looking forward to your best work. When does Hurley tell you he needs it?

 

[HooperScooper]

Great win!
But we don’t hang Final Four banners.

I guess Coach K didn't like that statement from Hurley. Lol

Coach K Disagrees With Dan Hurley's Final Four Banner Claim

UConn head coach Dan Hurley raised some eyebrows this week with a comment about Final Four banners. It was so outrageous to some that even basketball icon Coach K is weighing in on his disagreement.

Reed should get an award for his free throw improvement during the tourney, way to go! Mullins killing it from 3 was beautiful to see and Ross keeps showing evidence. Loved every minute of the game!

LET'S GO!

 

[ctfjr]

All is well in the basketball universe

 

[Doctor Hoop]

So it’ll be Michigan on Monday night. Knock off another B1G team. Git ‘er done!

 

[nickp91]

Charles Barkley was oddly triggered at halftime by something Hurley said about everyone picking Illinois Barkley responds by calling him "little man" twice in a weird moment

 

[HW611]

Name that Husky

 

[ec33]

I am not expecting UConn to get a warm welcome in Detroit next year after beating both Michigan State and Michigan in this tournament.

 

[David54]

Never seen any player improve within a season as dramatically as Reed has this year.

 

[huskyharry]

Khalid, Rip, Ray, Ben, Emeka, Charlie - who else?

Samson, Bouk
