Did they really say that? Do they really believe that any of Nova/Iowa St/Mich St/Florida was easier than Dayton? I will admit that things did fall our way that tournament. The NCAA let us participate.

Plus those comments from Cuse always cracked me up since the "local venue" theme discredits their own title - the only title they've ever won. We went out West for our first three titles (including virtual road games vs SDSU and Zona).

Like I always say, if you like your titles to feature drama until the last second against between two blue bloods or if you'd rather just curb-stomp a helpless upstart, whether you like high scoring offense or suffocating defense, whether you like strong post play or terrific guards, UConn has a title for you.

Exactly. The whole MSG thing is absurd when Syracuse got to the final four playing in Albany. It certainly was a tough break for ISU and MSU but UConn has seen more than their fair share of tough breaks in this regard

same here, with the swiftness

Same. They are surprisingly thin skinned for fans of a program that had a decade long (+) concurrent drug/ illegal payments to players/academic fraud scandals. Really at the point that they are now the reality of the program is far more offensive than anything I could come up with.

Well that and the fact they were undoubtedly cheating during the run.

No surprise. We now have our backcourt for the next 4-5 years. Alterique Gilbert and Jalen Adams. And what a backcourt that is going to be.

Great if True! I wonder if this person sources aren't just the BY. LOL!

Just trolling

Who is this Stacy Davis chick? She was the first to report Paschal Chukwu's commitment a few hours before any one else.

Kid is nasty, here are a couple of clips that show off his insane athleticism.

Who is the player who wears #1 on Gilberts team? We should be recruiting him too.

Rothstein too

 

[HuskyBballFan]

Hey, it's the moment we've all been waiting for. A recruit mentioned one of the assistant coaches by name.

 

[Rico444]

I'm guessing CBS was supposed to sit on this until after the announcement, but someone jumped the gun. Oh well. Not that I'm complaining! Welcome to the family Alterique!

"The history there -- especially with Coach Ollie and Coach Ricky Moore helped me with the decision," Gilbert added. "I want to go where those guys have been."

Smart kid

Here we go again. Where's zags?

 

[UConn76]

I swear Syracuse and Rutgers fans gets more joy out of being in a superior conference than on court/on field success.[/QUOTET
In reality, Rutgers has never had any on field success.....
