Bouk is fragile at times...Yeah, I'm not convinced that "guys got hurt and sat on the bench at varying times" is a good argument for the team's toughness.

Oh I'm sorry. You're right. We are a bunch of weaklings and Hurley runs a kindergarten basketball program. Our team is a bunch of crybabies that wear pink tutus. Practice is a bunch of teddy bears and candy corn. The team would rather spend their time sucking their thumb in safe zones than breaking down 2-3 zones.how old are? Would you consider yourself a basketball fan outside of UConn? Cause this has to be one of the most off the reservation bleed blue glasses posts of all time.

Not even going to lie all of those could happenHe also picked Creighton to lose to USCB and Nova to lose to Winthrop and Georgetown to lose to Colorado. Not a single BE team will win according to him (he is an idiot IMO). He should drop the L and change his name to Jay Bias.
ikr? too obvious. jaybile is just another old beagle, getting close to collecting 'the social' as some in the carolina hills call it. his recent (last quarter century) rebounds include catching the pancake mix box as it fell out of the cabinet, bounced off the stove, and into his hands. the only experience he has with elbows is when he makes mac and cheese. we are gonna pound the twerps with our real toughness and blow their doors off. im hoping that after the game, we'll get a few copies of that geezers book (he wrote a book, Toughness), and light them on fire at center court.He clearly hasn't. No mention of Sanogo or Cole.
Bouk is the face of the program right now and he has been banged up a lot this season. Sanogo is tough, as are Martin and Cole, and Whaley is tough in his own way. Perhaps Bilas is sleeping on UConn, but his comments aren't unreasonable. In fact, there are many crazier takes on the Boneyard by our own fans.Not saying any of the Big East teams can't lose their opening games, but to not pick a single big east team while also claiming Maryland is tougher than us (why? because they tried to fight Michigan?) is just a joke. It makes me think he hasn't watched a single minute of Big East basketball all year.
Edit: Bill Raftery who calls both Big 10 and Big East basketball was raving about our team's toughness during the DePaul game. Bilas should watch a few minutes of our game tape before making ridiculous claims.
Ain't it the truth.In fact, there are many crazier takes on the Boneyard by our own fans.
Playing hard or with passion isn't the same thing as toughness.They get hurt because they go hard (borderline reckless). Toughness and fragility are different. Bouk got injured diving on the floor for a loose ball. Polley lost an eye in practice this season. Martin missed time with an ankle injury from practice. Jackson broke his wrist in practice. Soft teams don't go that hard in practice. Only tough teams do.

I swear, no one at ESPN has watched us play a game this season.
