Ditto my son just got accepted today as well!
GO Huskies!!

Congrats, both you and @BarkingDog!!

I actually just got accepted to UConn law last week.

Undergrad already completed in Storrs, class of ‘17. Now to decide if I want 3 more years in Hartford. I’m sure the kids will love it if they decide to attend!!

Another good one in the tank - I love the overall changeup in strategy & lineups. Alleyn & Calc had great ones, heck I didn't realize just how good Joey's was until I checked the box score.

Andre was great too but I wish he'd tone down his miracle leaps into his teammates, that's two games in a row he went for an impossible block and landed pretty hard on another Husky.

And wow, the speed that Hawkins fires those 3s is impressive. There is just no delay or hesitation.

There was such a noticeable difference in intensity at MSG this year versus last. I'd never go so far as to say it felt like a tuneup for the BE (and NCAA) tournament but I do think it bodes well that they got in a game there in that type of environment with less than two weeks prior to the tournament.

Random thought - so is Samson Johnson done for the year?

Couldn’t find 1 second of playing time in a mostly blowout win at home against St Johns, when Karaban couldn’t buy a bucket. Is he getting the Richie Springs treatment?

Fwiw my wife teaches a class every spring at UConn law. If you're on the fence about going there are a TON of part-time students that go in the evening. You could try a couple of the intro classes (torts, contracts, whatever) before enrolling full-time.

Interesting decision to come and dunk on yourself. This is the point people were trying to make towards you

Now show the entire comment and the comment from giddyup. You weren’t defending Joey at all with that post and you know it. You’re holier than thou act is really difficult to take.

Teams do this all season. I doubt they were even thinking about the connotation

Isn't that the definition of tone deaf?

What would be a cheeky, innocuous act for a player on a different team is instead, here, a tone-deaf bit of cosplay for any player on Alabama.

Brandon Miller's pregame display shows how careless Alabama has been in dealing with tragedy of fatal shooting

The Crimson Tide's lack of attention to details is why they're fated to be college basketball's villain this March

I never heard screeching that chilling before and I never want to hear it again.

Yep, the Big East is just different. The league makes you battle tested but it also hurts some teams who can only play that physical way. NCAA tournament time and they don't let you mug everyone like they do in the league. Those Pitt teams under Howland and Dixon were always hurt by it and UConn teams were often better for it because they could win ugly and pretty. This team has shown it can blow teams out playing pretty in non-conference play and now they're showing they can blow teams out playing ugly in conference play.

If we play to our identity and guys keep playing to their strengths this team can do special things.

Exactly this. This 100% sums up the BE. It’s also the reason why UConn, Xavier, Marquette and Creighton will go the furthest in the tournament…they have more finesse and offensive firepower. I’d actually put Marquette 4th out of these 4, but all of these teams are battle tested.

Not sure if true…but LOL
