    AAC - ESPN Media Deal - officially Garbage (er, um DOESN'T Matter ! )

    I don't see that as being a "loudmouth" or at all disrespectful. He's simply stating that the contract was football-driven, and the loss of one team won't seriously impact that. Given the nature of the schools in the conference, the same could be said for pretty much anyone in the AAC - not just...

    UConn v. Louisville Elite 8 Game

    I'm not sure what's going on with UConn women's basketball recruiting, but something is off. I see they got the #1 ranked recruit for 2020, which is nice, but next year doesn't look good. UConn has been notorious for their lack of depth in recent memory, and next year looks to be no exception...

    vs. Houston

    I don't know WTF I just watched, but the one thing I could say about this team was that, while the record looks similar to the last two years, at least they didn't get blown out. So much for that positive. I had really hoped to see more of a turnaround this year, but at this point we are...

    Discussion of UConn Program Going Forward

    This is all true concerning CV - and I especially enjoyed the part about the Purvis school of basketball. That being said, I like CV much more than Dyson/Purvis. I am so tired of seeing lack of effort out of UConn that I'm willing to look past the mistakes, because he can make up for them with...

    Discussion of UConn Program Going Forward

    I really hope Vital isn't in Hurley's sites. To me, he has been the one bright spot on the team these last few forgettable seasons. As mentioned in the article, he seems to be a Hurley type of player. Yeah, he takes bad shots, tries to do too much, and has some stupid fouls - but while it's...

    Wichita St.

    Unfortunately, the only numbers that really matter are in the W/L column, so any other improvement is nice, but meaningless. Right now, they're looking like they might end up with a worse record than the last two seasons - and there's absolutely no reason that should be the case given the...

    Wichita St.

    This year's team has been a huge disappointment. I almost hate myself for saying this, but I don't know if this team would have been any worse if Ollie were still the coach. The second half collapses are certainly concerning, but you can almost set your watch by them.

    Cincy game

    All this is true, yet I struggle to see why there is no marked improvement over last year. Without getting into the glaring weaknesses which have become standard for this team recently, this is the exact same team as last year - just with more experience and better talent. Throw in a new...

    Cincy game

    After watching this game, I'm left to wonder what has gone on this season. With no coaching change at all, on paper this should have been a much better team than last year, since they didn't really lose any major parts, everyone has a year more experience, and AG played for most of the season...

    Uconn vs. UCF

    This may be a dumb question, but is the position balance on this team so bad that they need to keep running Polley out there with the starting lineup? He may be a very good spot-up shooter, which is nice to have on the court. Unfortunately, three of the other starters out there are guards -...

    Uconn vs. Iowa- Fri Nov.16th

    There are certainly going to be problems when you decide to play small ball. Turnovers shouldn't be one of those problems. UConn was never in this game because of all the early turnovers, and it went downhill from there. Yeah, the refs weren't great, but there's no excuse for doing things...

    Uconn vs Morehead St.

    Definitely a different energy this year. The movement on offense was great - of course compared to last year's team any movement looks good. And how about those 14 assists? That was three games worth last year. Carlton looks like he stepped up his game, and he actually has some offensive...

    2018-19 Players- staff

    “UConn is looking at some combination of grad transfers, undergrad transfers who would have to sit a year and frue freshmen, perhaps keeping one scholarship open for a late opportunity.” That’s some hard-hitting reporting there, as it pretty much covers every option there is for incoming...

    Congratulations UConn 11 Straight Final 4s!

    I had one other thought about what happened to the chemistry at the end of the year. For most of the season, Stevens was the first player off the bench, usually replacing one of the forwards - meaning there wasn’t a drastic difference in the style of play when she entered the game. When...

    Congratulations UConn 11 Straight Final 4s!

    Well, there's the answer we've been looking for: UConn just needs to join a P5 conference. It's as simple as that. As I recall, UConn went undefeated in the Big East as well, when ND and Louisville were in the conference. I don't think lack of competition is the problem. If anything, UConn...

    Congratulations UConn 11 Straight Final 4s!

    I'm hoping UConn either recruits or develops some muscle on the inside - which they haven't had the last two years. Stevens is great when she is under the basket. Against average players, she can make a move and get there. However, against a talented player with some bulk (such as ND's...

    Congratulations UConn 11 Straight Final 4s!

    IMHO, the guards didn't play very well. Nurse and Dangerfield were a combined 7 for 24. Overall, the three point shooting was pretty bad in regulation, especially in the first half, when they went 3 for 11. Overall, they shot 33% on 3s in regulation. UConn looks great when those shots are...

    Chris Mack to Louisville

    I think we all realize the difference in money between the NBE and the AAC is negligible, especially compared to P5 payouts. However, if UConn fails to get into a P5 conference (again), the NBE is certainly more attractive from a basketball standpoint with regards to geography, rivalries...

    UConn-Duke

    UConn never looks good when they play a decent team intent on slowing the game down and turning it into a rock fight. It looks even worse when they aren’t shooting particularly well. I’m just happy Duke didn’t have a very strong interior presence, or this could have been a nail-biter. Hopefully...

    Reports: UConn locks up Hurley

    I am cautiously optimistic about the future. Hopefully he gets an assistant who can shore up the defense (with an emphasis on help defense and switching). I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with the current players, and what he does with the roster. Does everyone stay? How about the...
