Jay Bilas just gave UConn a big shout out

[UConnSwag11]

says jeremy lamb needs to get the ball more then shabazz and they can go far... also said "do you think this team is not locked in with a possible chance to play kentucky with calhoun back? i would not want to be kentucky if they play uconn" of course i missed some more stuff but thats a good deal of what he said

 

[UConn5]

Bilas is in tune with what we are all thinking.

 

[jfuchs91]

Saw this as well. Bilas is definitely the analyst I respect the most, and I think he was spot on here. Iowa State is going to give us all we can handle, but I'd really love a shot to play Kentucky.

 

[UCDaveD]

I respect any analyst who kisses our ass, anyone else is a who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.

yeah not looking past isu, if our perimeter defense is like we know it can be then i don't see them hanging in the post or in transition... but bilas was rational on us and hubert said uconn isu is his game to watch first round

Jay is an excellent analyst. He comes from a players perspective as well as a strong knowledge base. He does his homework. we were a preseason final eight team so now is the time to prove it. We need a little help, but this team is talented enough to do it. Let's get by Iowa State and then roll the dice with Ky. I think JC and the men will be ready.

Ahh, the Boneyard way! The second Gottleib compliments us there will be a thread about how much people respect him b/c he's a straight shooter. A couple of years ago he wrote a very pro JC article and this place blew up with praise. Yesterday, he made an observation (correct, mind you) about how we don't defend the 3 well and should be careful about looking past ISU and there was a thread about how he's a . I love this place...

I like he he gets testy with some of the other announcers making stupid comments. He even gets testy with class, however.

 

[dogpause]

Yeah, it's just like every other fan board. Except for the hangings, of course.

gottleib compliment = doomed

Bilas also picked UConn as his 4 seed or lower to make an Elite 8 run

well i guess Mark May is not coming to your house for Thanksgiving

Isnt Jay Bilas somewhat close to the Uconn program and Calhoun? He was the speaker at the championship dinner last year, always has nothing but good things to say about the program, and i think he always helps out with Calhouns charity golf tournament every summer.

I mean seriously... it's just a bunch of people talking on TV, do people really need constant validation? They play the games on the floor - it doesn't matter what anyone says before or after.

 

[Chief00]

Bilas is a good dude.

 

[Ricky1Moore]

Bilas is the only dude worth listening to. If he wanted to coach I'd offer him the head gig at uconn post Calhoun immediately. And he tweets 90s rap lyrics every morning. Baller

boog, man - Keep up. I already corrected you on that. Doug was called a well before he questioned our ability to defend the three. He was called a for his implication that we could have been left out of the tournament for a poor finish. He had already been douched by the time he picked Iowa State - that had nothing to do with it.

I don't want to have to keep correcting you, so start paying attention to your responses, dammit!

Bilas is a good dude.

Bilas is a lawyer at a big North Carolina business law firm in Charlotte. I wonder if that will now change people's opinion of him.

PRE-LAW. PRE-MED. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Neither gottleib nor jeff jacobs should ever get any quarter in the world of Uconn. The two have distinguished themselves above all the other hacks out there in media land as having personal vendettas against Coach Calhoun and our program.

Bilas and Digger are two of the best, and not saying that because they give UConn love. Digger predicted UConn to beat Syracuse on GameDay, nobody else gave them a shot, and look how that turned out. Bilas actually watches games and knows how teams play, regardless of the final score.

Gottlieb is a clown that steals wallets. And he's never predicted UConn to win anything. Go figure.

Hate to be the one to break it to you but since College Gameday started in 2005, Digger has picked every home team to win, unless Notre Dame is the road team. What he offers is the exact opposite of solid analysis. Bilas on the other hand offers top shelf analysis and always speaks his mind no matter what. Love him.

Digger is garbage
