Kevin Willard not happy about our return to Big East

[87Xfer]

Cool! Can't wait for it all to start!

As usual with Willard, his bone-dry sarcasm contained an unmistakable kernel of truth: While nobody in the league doubts that UConn’s return is good for business, there’s a nagging, gnawing feeling that they let the fox into the henhouse. That the Huskies — who wanted out so badly seven years ago — are barging back into a carefully calibrated brotherhood with their state-school resources, marauding fan base and visions of domination.

The reunion is great for the St. Anthony and Seton Hall grad. Is it great for the Big East?

The Catholic schools left the conference, we didn't go anywhere. Can't say I blame them once Tulane and Tulsa were invited, I'm pretty sure that was the last straw. But this narrative that we fled the BE is just trash.

Calhoun wasn’t well liked by the people he did not care or want to be liked by. I am fine with that.

UConn’s Big East return stirs up coaching drama: ‘Sucks for us’

Privately, a number of Big East coaches weren’t exactly thrilled about the league adding Connecticut, a publicly-funded state school, unlike the other 10 members. On Wednesday, Seton Hall coach Kev…

Maybe here and there but I think our roster would be top 3 in any conference today Momentum is just starting to build. We are right back where we belong... and so is PC.

 

[CallMeBruce]

What on earth makes you think we want to be liked by the other fanbases

I'm now expecting that during our game this year Kevin Willard will rip off his mask and reveal himself to be...Frank Haith.

Complete with handshake that leads to ejection?

Couldn't get it to play. Summary?

Couldn't get it to play. Summary?

Said he was joking around and Hurley is a great coach and UConn is a great program. Then went right back and doubled down on how he doesn't think it's a good addition since it takes away 2 non conference games they could have scheduled

Kevin Willard wants to be undefeated, but he wants to do so by adding two more games again NJIT and Wagner every year rather than playing 2 games against UConn. I’ve noticed from interviews that Jay Wright understands that to be the best you have to play the best (not just talking about UConn here, just in general), but KW is pretty much saying adding UConn isnt good cause it makes it harder for him, poor guy

Positive article.. For the record.. It's DH's third season at UConn.(see first sentence in paragraph 3).. Fuzzy math..

 

[dalydosehoops]

Bad job by me missing that! Sorry it took so long to circle back, but it’s been fixed!

 

[jibsey]

He's getting better players already.

 

[Scot-e]

Good.

Yeah, I mean, when daddy comes home with his belt in his hand it's not always pretty

 

[ElmCity40th]

These coaches kill me...your job is not permanent sir. A few bad brakes or wrong turns and they’ll be replacing you.

 

[KembaMan15]

Great coaches like challenges. This guy is a bum.

I don't really want to identify with being an abusive father, though. Not the best analogy. lol
