It’s A Lovely Saturday Evening Isn’t It?

[jibsey]

Especially when you win. After today’s game just wanted to express how happy I am with this year’s team. Now on to some serious cocktails.

 

[DisabledVet]

I love this team. They have so many offensive options, play tenacious defense and most of all have an over abundance of grit and good ole’ fashioned moxie.

 

[uconnfan68]

I love this team.

Thanks Charles!

As a grown man, husband and father, I can say without shame that I wake up every morning and am happy, solely because I get to watch this team. No good can come from that.

I just pulled into Siesta Key and passed by this on my way in.

The Trop. The first place we cut down the nets. Now I’m going to drink margaritas at a tiki bar until I blackout to celebrate.

May I suggest the Siesta Key Oyster Bar, great bar good food. Also if your staying for a while check out Mazzaro's on 22nd Ave just up fro the Trop off 275. a great deli. If your lucky in the cooler by the bakery you might find Foxon Park birch beer!

I love oysters. Absolutely will do.

Thanks Charles!

Apropos of nothing my buddy’s kid was at a bar mitzvah in Boston a few months ago and Big Chuck was there. He coaches the kid whose bar mitzvah it was or something. He got shots up with my friend’s kid for about an hour - said he was the nicest dude imaginable.

 

[UConnRock]

We haven’t seen W-L numbers like this in 15 years + or -. The significance of going to MSG w/o Karaban and winning by 13 cannot be overstated. UConn is locked into a 1 or 2 seed. When was the last time UConn was a 1 or 2?

 

[HuskyFich]

It’s an odd sight watching other top 10 teams play what we would considered broken, iso heavy offense. Shows the true elegance smooth basketball can have on the eye.

Hurleys the man.

I can vouch for that, he is married to my niece and is a great guy.

Thanks for doing the research that I was too lazy to do. So it is 13 years since fans have been where we are now. It is a good feeling

I do too. But one offensive weapon that isn’t there yet is Donovan. He is invaluable as a deterrent and rebounder, but offensively he is still stiff and limited. With his size, if he could develop a good drop step or a few other basic moves, he would be unstoppable.

Duke loses!
The fruit lose!

The good guys win their twentieth! At MSG!

There was a time when we got a top seed at worst every other year. We used to dominate regular seasons, not merely figure it out at the end. This is a vintage UConn season. It's been literally 15 years.

 

[TheChamps990411]

If you throw out our putrid January of `23 this team is 48-4. Without injury issues we`d likely be 50-2. Random numbers i know but its just to put into context just how dominant this run we are on is.

Has Uconn ever been a number 1 seed in the tournament?

Is that a serious question >_>

 

[Leebo]

I can't edit my post anymore, but I guess some people are just new to the team and haven't looked into the history.

UConn has been a 1 seed 5 times, 1990, 1996, 1999, 2006, 2009

 

[HooperScooper]

Seriously. Kids today. They have no grasp of history or anything that happened before their lifetime. That's a crazy question from someone on this board.

Has Uconn ever been a number 1 seed in the tournament?

The overall #1 seed I am not sure. One of the 5 #1 seeds in a tournament in 1990, 1996, 1999 and 2006, 2009. Only championship as a #1 seed in 1990. The seeds of the 4 other championships were 2(2004), 3(2011), 4 (2023), and 7 (2014).

We didn't win a championship in 1990. You're thinking of '99.
