Big win for UConn against #10 Marquette 87-72.

Posted: **Tue Feb 07, 2023 8:49 pm**

Yeah, they needed that one. Very convincing win to. Glad to see the Huskies get back on track.

UConn is looking good again. Nice win tonight against Providence.

Brilliant move by Hurley to play PC in 10,000 seat Gampel Arena and have $2 beer night to boot.

Posted: **Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:47 am**

With UConn athletics in such a financial hole, how did they manage to pull off a $2 beer night. I am jealous. I think it is a great way to put fannies in the seats.

What you lose with $2 beer and playing the game in Gampel Pavillion you far more gain by beating PC by 18 a d revving up the fan base. The opposite of penny wise - pound foolish.
Hurley gets it.
His two freshmen Alex Karaban and 7'2" Donavon Clingon held Bryce Hopkins to 0 rebounds and Croswell to 5 rebounds as Huskies dominated the boards 40-20.

I assure you they didn't lose a cent charging $2 for a 12 ounce can of Miller Lite. They didn't optimize profit, but they still made plenty of money

Reading their board, it sounds like unless the game is a sell out they lose money playing at the XL Center instead of Gampel due to the contracts in place with their version of the RI Convention Center Authority

It’s always a good thing to remind Friartown that they don’t have a D1 on campus basketball arena…

Posted: **Thu Feb 23, 2023 1:21 pm**

I love it that Hurley played the game at Gampel. With the beer and a crazy crowd.

Yea you showed them!

I would bet not one person in the athletics department gives two shits where their home arena is when they're something like 33-1 there the last two seasons.

Posted: **Sat Mar 04, 2023 4:59 pm**

UConn has won 4 straight and 7 of the last 8.
Villanova is much improved since the return of Justin Moore and won 6 of the last 7.
Should be an exciting game.

7:30 PM #14 UConn at Villanova FOX

Posted: **Sat Mar 04, 2023 5:29 pm**

Good one tonight

Posted: **Sat Mar 04, 2023 9:52 pm**

One of Dan’s all time favorite refs calling the Rhody game tonight.

Posted: **Sat Mar 04, 2023 10:36 pm**

Big win for UConn at Villanova 71-59.
Dan really has the team rolling right now.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ride this momentum to the BET title.

Posted: **Sun Mar 05, 2023 2:38 pm**

Yes and looking like a second weekend team as well

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2023 9:15 am**

Alex Karaban and Donovan Clingan were named to the All-Freshman team, and UConn’s ‘23 recruiting class is 4th in the country. The current team is pretty good, and the future is bright.

As the tournaments approach, I am excited but also filled with anxiety, which is my natural college basketball state.

Future does look good.

They have a great run going into the BET and they seem to be healthy for the most part.
Should be an exciting tournament.
Xavier losing Freemantle will hurt their chances, not easy to replace 15 pts/8 rebs.
Especially when you have to win several games in a row, depth becomes an issue.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2023 2:01 pm**

Hope DH gets the win v PC

Posted: **Wed Mar 15, 2023 1:16 pm**

Really hope Dan gets deep into this year’s tournament.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 3:00 am**

Big win Uconn , I think they are Sweet 16 bound

Now that the pressure is a bit off by getting that first win they could go on a run.
They have insane spurtability when firing on all cylinders. Iona and St Mary's for a Sweet 16 is pretty favorable draw.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 4:34 pm**

Agree , no excuses if they lose to St Mary’s

Door is open for Dan to win a champeenship.

Posted: **Sun Mar 19, 2023 4:28 pm**

Assuming he gets by St. Mary’s, he could run into a roadblock potentially vs Arkansas. UCLA or Gonzaga in the Elite 8 will be tougher and more experienced opponents but winnable games for his team though, I think.

He should be favored vs Arkansas then maybe it’s a coin flip in the round of 8.

Posted: **Sun Mar 19, 2023 8:16 pm**

If I recall SMC had a 40-39 lead with around 11ish minutes left. Then UConn kicked into another gear closing the game on a 31-15 extended run. Wow.

Posted: **Sun Mar 19, 2023 8:16 pm**

Congrats to Hurley on the Sweet Sixteen bid. Always felt like he was passing through URI on the way to high level success. No hard feelings about him leaving URI as much as I wanted him to stay.

Posted: **Mon Mar 20, 2023 10:25 am**

Very happy for Dan.

Posted: **Mon Mar 20, 2023 10:38 am**

Congrats to Dan. He always had a higher ceiling than Cooley and has now surpassed him in tourney wins with 5 less years on the job.

Posted: **Mon Mar 20, 2023 10:55 am**

I wish I was as mature as all of you. I'm eternally thankful for what he did here, so I can't cheer against him, but I can't cheer for him at UConn either

Posted: **Mon Mar 20, 2023 4:21 pm**

Definitely pulling for him to go all the way , big fan of his

That thing about the tournament wins was always my favorite to say to Providence fans before last year’s debacle, and now order has been restored. With Cooley gone, I don’t know what to do with all my petty energy.

Also, never change, Danny! This was from the press conference after the St. Mary’s win-

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2023 6:58 am**

Ugh! Yes that sucked!!

Cool that he mentioned that Oregon game , we will always love DH

Really nice article on UConn freshman Donovan Clingan.

Whether the season ends tomorrow or later, it will be too soon. I haven’t enjoyed following a team this much since the 16-17 Rams (17-18 was great, too, but Hassan and winning the conference tournament and beating Creighton and all that was special).

(his media time was up, but he did find that reporter later and give a more complete answer)

Ah Vegas, simply the best. I just got back from there for the opening weekend of the tournament, but I promise I had nothing to do with this...

Not too surprising it was Luxor.

60%FG will get the job done.

Very happy for Dan. First Elite Eight and he’s probably not done.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:02 pm**

Super happy for Dan. Win the whole damn thing, man.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:20 pm**

Go Dan! Since Az and Kansas lost I've been thinking it's theirs for the taking

I think ultimate UCONN goal is to go to the ACC
It would be good for BC and Syracuse to have another Northeast school.
I don't know why the Big East ever took UCONN back in.

UConn hasn't exactly been secretive about it. Unfortunately for them the CT AG filed a lawsuit against Syracuse, BC, and the ACC when those schools made the move, so neither school has any interest in seeing UConn join them

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2023 12:32 pm**

Football rules college sports. Why would the ACC want to add another bad football program and further dilute itself? The only way UConn joins the ACC is if were to be gutted with the departure of several members.

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2023 4:22 pm**

One of my favorite plays from last night. Clingan is 7’2” and still beats guys down the court.
