Yeah, when people think of UCONN, they immediately think of Manhattan.

Should have saved it for the BET

Uconn and NYC, perfect together. The hicks from Storrs drinking their PBR and barfing on the street corners.

I live in the DMV, and to say that Georgetown hoops is an afterthought does not do it justice. It's actually very sad.

Uh oh, Maher is going to get the Mullin flashback shakes when he sees this.

Very interesting quote from that article. I'm sure some on here will love this

"At a time when budgets of 'Power 5' conference members have increased substantially and in some cases are nearing $200 million, UConn athletics continues to find ways to remain competitive nationally with far less," the school said.

Speaking of UConn, they also just opened a $70 million on campus new ice hockey arena. Must be nice. From what I can tell, there were significant donations which funded that.

Interesting. Comparing their budget to the “Power 5” conferences and not the Big East. They’ve never accepted themselves as a Big East team. They’ll be out of here as soon as they can.

Wonder if our players and coaches will now need to be tested.

Hopefully they didn’t get our players sick.

Sooner or later Gtown is going to snap their losing streak. Rather them do it before they play us.

They do play DePaul at home next week, so there's hope there.

UConn opened as 4 point favs, Hurley out with covid released to public, line increases to 6. Lol

 

[Amaseinyourface]

Guarantee a Uconn message board had posts saying at half time they were better off with Murray.

Are they still testing for Covid? I don't know anywhere that's actually still testing for it.

Hurley and Young must have been tested to be positive for Covid. And I wouldn’t be surprised that if any of our guys feel even the slightest bit I’ll, they’ll be tested.
