Markus deserves a medal of honor.

11-0 and we have 5 Tos in 4 min because he has touched the ball like twice.

Koby McEwen needs to quit the sport, about 4 others can follow his lead.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

LOL McEwent on the bench and we go 16-2 run to take the lead.

Put him back in and we are down 12 again.

I'ts absolutely amazing we keep playing this guy

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yet another team that will literally not miss a shot against us

 

[The Q]

I cannot wait for the huskies to be back home...that’s what we’ve been missing.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

LOL so typical. Battle all the way back and come up just short. Do it every time.

Waiting til we got down 20+ to bench Bailey and McEwen was the difference.

i'm guessing Ewing will be on the hot seat heading into next season, right? I just realized he just completed his third season at Georgetown. Felt like he was just hired. Time goes by quick.

Possibly.

He's shown incremental imporvement.

Last year, they were supposed to take a step forward, but lost half of their depth chart to transfer before conference play. Considering that, he did a good job of keeping the team on the bubble until the very end.

But missing the tournament 6 years in a row 'should' be inexcusable at G'town.

They also got derailed with injuries late too.

It was actually pretty impressive how competitve they were

 

[The Q]

UConn stealing Sanogo from Seton Hall (and Nebraska) means the big East has another legit top 25ish team to deal with.

You mean next year or in the future?

I think both the university and the conference expected UConn to get back to at least being perrennial Top 25.

I personally expect them to be back to Top 10-15 level program.

Seton Hall and Providence will be affected the most. This is where it is valuable to have the Creightons, Xavier, Butler. They recruit from a slightly different pool.

Anyway, that's how the old Big East was from the beginning. They were all fighting for the same recruits...

It’s just nice to be able to land some top level guys again. Uconn rarely got the top 20 guys. The top 50/75 is where they won their titles.

You think recruiting was really down in the American?

for uconn is was. And all 3 of jackson, sanogo, and diggins all mentioned the new conference specifically as part of the sell of coming to uconn.

Ollie has one great class in the aac, but it’s been a slog to get players beyond that.

 

[jontaejones]

UConn cancels football season.

All in on basketball now...

 

[The Q]

UConn Basketball: Huskies add 2021 four-star guard Jordan Hawkins

And another huge get for Hurley.

him and digging could easily be the starting backcourt on the next final four team

I am expecting basically nothing this year from the team as a whole(loads of question marks combined with Rona). But I will say, if DJ Carton is only "honorable mention" all BE. This will go down as the greatest season ever for a conference.

Marquette won't have enough games to get to it's late season collapse, so ... big plus!

The whole season is a big question mark. There's only a handful of games even on the schedule.

College football makes things looks promising. It's been OK, they're getting through. But the 2nd wave is hitting hard at the wrong time. It could get ugly.
