"The UConn Invitational"

[Mr.Aztec]

ESPN has picked this up, they were using it all morning today.

Mike Greenberg also claimed we were the 9th best team in the NBA Eastern Conference.

Doomed.

Greenberg is an idiot who in a normal world would be washing dishes for a living

SDSU Coach Dutcher is quoted by ESPN as calling the tournament "the UConn Invitational". That is some grade A trolling of the UConn fans by Coach Dutcher. Respect.

I think it was said out of respect. Dutcher is classy

"Saturday's contest pitted the two winningest coaches in Creighton history: Altman and McDermott, close friends, occasional golfing buddies and the reason the Bluejays are a mid-major power and a menace inside the brackets."

Thank you Coach Obvious, and you're going to be ceremoniously uninvited soon enough

Odds on the writer having graduated from a former Big East member who thought they had a "major program" because they were usually the 3rd or 4th best team in the league?

They were the only team to beat Duke that year other than us. In the Great Alaskan Shootout. I miss that tourney.

UConn won the 1999 Duke Invitational.

This is just trying to gin up bad mojo. And Nelson took the bait.

What we really need is a picture of Taylor Swift wearing a kevlar vest.

Don't blame ESPN. They are just reflecting the committee's thoughts about the Big East.

Crazy last second dunk by the Helicopter
