Why couldn't PC have been good when we actually played them? I've always liked when New England teams were competitive. Except BC they can suck a fart through a straw.

Timing has always been off both ways. Cooley and Ollie have to fix this.

Since 2013, Providence has put the same number of guards in the NBA as us. :eek:

Does it matter? Between 60-67 we smoked you for NBA guards. As I said earlier it's time for these two schools to play. Excuses don't work for either.

I couldn't care less one way or another about that tiny secular school to our east whose fans believe we are peers.

I do however believe starting a thread like this is like leaving food on the ground at a picnic. It will attract too many unwanted pests

Why do you point out that Providence is a secular school? How does that figure into any equation?

UConn was a minority as a "non secular" school in the OBE. Was that a problem?

During the period of the Crusades, the ancestors of our guards violated the ancestors of your guards in a variety of ways. This is why UConn has dominated your future.

Most don't have hard feelings about Delle Donne. It was an unfortunate situation for everyone but she had the worst of it. She quit basketball for 3 months, was going to try to pick up volleyball. Most women's fans are happy she got back on the court at all, even though she wasn't at UConn. And while it would have been great if she played 4 healthy, happy years at UConn, it's not like UConn sucked those years.

She pretended she was sick of basketball and wanted to play volleyball in school in order to get her release and then went on the immediately play basketball at Delaware and become a First Team All-America. I liken that to Diallo working out with our players for years and then suddenly deciding we wanted to play for the Anti-Christ.

No, we didn't suck, but we likely would not have lost quite so many games vs. Notre Lame during that stretch, and quite possibly might have won at least one or two more NCs.

No.

UConn would have released her no matter what - she was only on campus for a few days.

She just had other things going on in her life. Even now, she's the rare WNBA player who doesn't cash in by going overseas during the offseason - she takes care of her handicapped sister.

She also played volleyball for a year before starting hoops again.

And come on...we're talking about freakin Delaware here. She obviously didn't got there 'to play hoops'. Totally different scenario to Diallo. And I'm of the opinion that Diallo didn't ff__ck us either. I think our coaches ff__cked themselves.

Diallo was swayed. Our coaches didn't screw themselves. The stories of Diallo joining the team for the spring were too real--too much smoke, and it was plausible. Calipari rushed in when he heard that, and swayed him. Happens to the best recruiters out there. I certainly hope that wasn't held against Glen Miller, because if it was, it's amateurish. I've seen the same thing happen repeatedly, where a recruit tells people he is 99% committed, and the recruiter is left totally surprised at the last minute.

Yeah, I go to Delaware, albeit she graduated before I came here, but you can't really say a bad word about EDD, she was homesick and was caring for her sister, Id hope no one was bad mouthing her up in Storrs.

BS.

EDD is someone whom I dislike and will never ever root for.

Im probably the only one who holds this opinion or is willing to state it publicly. She screwed the program and caused us a title. An absolutely huge amount of time,resources, and effort was completely wasted on that EDD knucklehead.
