The Huskies (26-8) were beaten by Louisville, 71-61, in the AAC title game. Martelli doesn’t know much more about UConn other than “they have great women’s basketball.



“(Shabazz) Napier has had as good a year as you can have,” Martelli said. “And (Ryan) Boatwright is a magnificent guard. I don’t know much about the rhythm of their season. We’ll study them on the bus going home … at least numerically.”

All he has to do is pick up the phone and call his longtime/childhood/best friend Geno

Not a jab at all and it is sounds like a classic Geno-ism. In fact, didn't Geno serve as an assistant for him at the high school level?

At least he knows us for something. I find St. Joe's indistinguishable from all the other mid-major Catholics.

This is the guy that blocked a 5th year player from transferring. And I swear there was some inference of an issue with Geno's son on the team

I think he was just poking a little fun. He obviously knows about a program that has won 3 national titles in the last 15 years. Its a kind of a sarcastic remark like him saying "who doesnt know about Uconn"

My only issue is him refering to boat as a "magnificant" guard.:confused:

Yes - at Geno's alma mater, Bishop Kenrick, just before Geno went to Virginia and Phil went to St. Joe's
