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

Thanks for letting me know that. I just assumed that they were having really intense games of ping-pong.

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.

Between the men & the women's teams and all the championships & accomplishments they've piled up, as well as the retired numbers & names in the Huskies of Honor, it's not like there's a lot of room in Gampel for individual Final Four banners.

Win or lose. Monday is going to be emotional as heck. Our farewell to Alex. To tarris and the other seniors. But to Luke and the best staff in modern history. Bill had the absolute best seat in the house and looked so stoked sitting by boat and EJ(?). He was in with real royalty and was cheering. How fun. Great ride. As of midnight Monday. A new era of UConn basketball begins. Let’s Go!

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.

All he cares about now is proving the SEC sucked this year.

Easiest path in what was universally considered the toughest region with the overall #1 seed (who they eliminated.. while also eliminating 2 and possibly 3 of the top 4 teams in said best conference)? Make it make sense.
 
Another great game were we controlled the game for the most part. Great shooting hitting 12 3s and playing great D. Nice to see the Indiana kid do great in his home state. He is gone after this year. Ball and Ross played great and hit some key shots. Reed was a beast and hitting big FTs. Nice to see Smith give us some good minutes off the bench with no turnovers while spelling Demary who is looking almost 100%. Also, nice to see Stewart hit a big 3 to push it to 14. My brother and I got seats in Section 153 and Row K by waiting just before the game. Prices were crazy and we were sitting in a middle of Orance. We will be looking for seats for Monday. Go UConn!!!!
 
The worst part of the Barkley jab is Hurley was obviously poking fun at them. Dude must have some weird beef with Hurley, it would explain why he was picking against our juggernaut teams as well.

They've done that all season. Ball is really bad at that. Think it was a 3 on 1 (or 2?) where Ball took it to the hoop and missed when he had a teammate or 2 open for an easy layup. But tough to complain about anything tonight. One more win.

I was screaming at the tv when he did that…then I remembered the “and one” late in the Duke game so I shut up.

Wow. Quite a performance. We missed a ton of layups, credit Illinois bigs for making us rush. Wagler is a heck of a player, but I’m not sure I’ve seen anybody get away with more push offs. He’s an offensive foul machine. We got a few calls. They got a few. Some big clutch shots from multiple guys. Defense continues to be underrated. We made things really hard for them.
Expand ...
Totally agree about the push-offs. This tactic transferred well from football and wasn't called a bit.
