What's even more hilarious is, the women were .0002 points worse than this for the entirety of last season. Definitely frames their dominance last year a little for me.

Try Bomb! The music industry and the Arrogant Sons of Bitches next. His first solo project and the band he fronted prior to that. Quite good.

Considering UConn made 14 straight final fours (2008-2022), I assume a lot of players are missing.

As a UConn fan of a certain age, I do remember Lamar Butler from George Mason's 2006 team. Neither Lamar nor Butler made the tournament that year, but that's the type of situation I was thinking of.

This feels like a question for @sickoscbb.bsky.social to go deep on

Maybe impossible research project, but has a player whose names are also both current NCAA tournament teams ever played in an NCAA tournament game?

The hand checking allowed on the perimeter in this league is insane considering the touch fouls called literally everywhere else.

Obviously, McNeeley going 5-9 from 3 and dropping 35 (so far) will paper over quite a few cracks.

Shades of Seton Hall in 2022 with Donovan being on the bench for those FT attempts when all we needed was a rebound to seal the game?

Even if it misses, you need a 2, so I don't see it being related to needing to get a shot off. I didn't notice that.

This is pretty clearly what happened there. You could see his brain short circuit in real time after that thing clanked. Frankly, the fact it rebooted that fast is pretty impressive.

Kansas loses two games to unranked teams by 9 and 13 points, drop to 10?

UConn loses to 3 unranked teams by 1, 2, and 18(gulp) OUT OF THE POLL.

Sure, that's logical. 🙄

Classic case of something only being a problem when things aren't going well. Dude is who he is.

The T was on a call that was obviously wrong, so while it still inexcusable, it's not like it doesn't fit the established pattern.

We're struggling to fill the Tristen role. That's pretty much it. I think that gets figured out.

My guess is Dan is trying to see (in the largest sample size possible) if Solo or Aiden can do it. I think he knows Hass can but it's not the best scenario for the team long term if he does.

Those minutes stack up, it's easier to see why this year's team is struggling.

23/24 returned heavy minutes at PG and PF, with a backup C making up the remainder.

It feels like recency bias creeping in a bit. This team is light years behind where last year's team finished. It's probably behind where they started, but only incrementally. And, that's because of how little continuity exists. Both teams returned ~40% of the minutes played, but if you look at how
November 20, 2024 at 3:59 PM
I think if we looked back at last year's team considering just the first 4 buy games, we probably have similar thoughts, right?

Offensive Performance against MVSU was not ideal, but it was still a 34 point win. We had 9 or 12 TOs in all 4 games, so we weren't exactly executing flawless offense.
