"The Huskies were so good that it was hard to overly criticize the Razorbacks for a meek showing. You don’t blame trees for falling in a storm."

The Vegas arena is on Tropicana Ave? I didn't know that. Seems like a good sign considering we won at Tropicana field in 99.

Akansas has nothing to hang their head about - I agree. They ran into buzzsaw and were outmatched in size, talent and experience. But they have lots of potential and they can learn and return!

Yep. You just have to be quick.

The Athletic is worth every penny, and I know some folks like to play the subscription cancelation game with them, but even if you don't the ~$70 is a steal IMO. Continuously impressed with the content, and the specificity at which they deliver - they put out a bunch of UConn specific content.

Great article!

I love the description of Jackson as “some combination of guard-wing-centaur.”
