Dauster for the win.

The crying about refs here and on twitter has been unbelievable. Makes us sound like a "Poverty Program" . LOL great term. He's right.

No, you're both wrong.

The foul and FT disparity the last two games has been absurd, and we have someone in the media on record saying that refs have told him that they have it out for our coach.

That's not something you brush aside as sour grapes.

Okafor talking about how he chose UConn and his relationship with Calhoun. Says he's not retired yet but trying to find right experience over seas. Asking him about how his game compares to Sanogo. Asked him who UConn's all time starting 5 team would be and he said the starting 5 from the 04' championship team.

1) I think that is overblown. We did nothing to get fouled.
2) If even it is a little bit of a factor, no one made that bed for us to lie in other than Coach Hurley. He's our coach and does a fantastic job in many areas, we get the whole person as the coach not just the parts we like. He is petulant child with little self control, IF refs are sick of Hurley, it didn't happen in a vacuum. He earned it.

Okafor would drop 20/12 on Sanogo and hold him to < 10 pts.

Yeah i think its kinda a tough question to ask him and also he's too nice of a guy to be like, yeah I'd dominate him.

Appreciate Rob's perspective re: X and Providence home court advantage.. If you want to get to FT line.. You've got to create scenarios to get fouled.. Either by design or through improvisation by the player(s)..

Gampel crowd has to be rockin' tomorrow. Creighton is looking for a Quad 1 win..

Refs don't like to be embarrassed.. They have rabbit ears around Hurley.. Psychology 101..
Let the players decide the game.
