Yeah Huskies have to stop carrying this conference... time to make a departure for the ACC since they seem to need all the help they can get on the hoops side. (only 4 NCAA teams with 18 members, and only Duke's left, SMH ).....I'd even go for a mini ACC 4 team add with all the talk of a merger lately.

The ACC is a sinking ship, does UConn really want to go down with that sinking ship? Their basketball has declined so badly it's become a complete joke!

They shot 28% FGs which included a pitiful 2-22 on 3s. Arkansas was a top 10 team preseason but lost their PG Boogie Fland for over 2 months. They are MUCH better with Fland back and running the point. Anyway the last Big Team standing for the 3rd straight year is ...... UConn!

Clingan has steadily improved and has minutes and production are on the uptick. He has started 22 of 52 games and is averaging 17 minutes, but had 32 last night, and is starting lately more and more as the coaches begin to trust him. He is rewarding their trust.

Every time I watch Clingan highlights like the one posted just above I am reminded of what UConn is missing this year, and why the rim attacks are bit more prevalent than they were the last 2 years. Although the 2 UConn centers have played well of late and given UConn combined very solid production at the 5. It's just that Clingan completely discouraged so much around the rim because of his massive size and ability to use it. One of the reasons Duke is ranked #1 is they have a similar, although very athletic 7'2" rim protector in Maluach, who is a beast.

To answer my own question, FS1. The SJU-TBD and Xavier-Marquette games are on Peacock.

Is the game on Peacock or FS1?

Nobody played more than 30 minutes and ditto with UConn women who won their 1st round BET game at Mohegan Sun with nobody playing more than 30 (Bueckers was the only one who played 30 for the women and Karaban the only 1 for the men). UConn men got 30 points off the bench today, good job bench!

McNeely is a very talented player with a superb handle but I noticed he is sometimes overconfident in it, and will sometimes get it stolen or deflected against good athletic defenders. However I am extremely impressed by the multifaceted game he brings to the team. He is the team's 2nd leading rebounder, is a good passer and I don't think we have seen his best shooting. He is also very strong driving the ball and maintains his body control through contact so that he can make the AND 1's. So sad we only have him for 1 year.

Coach English discusses the loss.....teling it like it is (the audio on the Hurley/Reed PGPC is really awful and I am embarrassed to post it):
