Poor Danny boy, UConn have come back to everyone else this year.
It must pain him, poor fella.

Stop it Mean Gene.
Uconn isn't the same as the last 2 years. This is our best team since Barkley's.
Let's get greedy.
I could honestly say with a straight face, we're going to sweep UConn, and no I'm not hoping to sweep them, I'm expecting to.
This is our time.
We will have way more than 15 k against Providence. They are selling one of the bridges just like they did for the Villanova game.
It’s hard to understate how massive of a drop off Samson Johnson is from Clingan and Sanogo.
They can shoot the hell out of the ball and have pretty good athletes (but guys we can keep up with), but I’m completely unimpressed by their defense and collective motor.
Karaban is an elite JAG

Samson Johnson sets dozens of illegal screens every game. He breaks just about every principle possible...does not stay set, feet wider than shoulders, rotates his hips into the defender, raises his arms and hands into defender, pushes off and sometimes start to roll engaging defender along the way like a pulling OL in football. At least a half dozen times per game, it is blatant with multiple infractions and the refs just do not call it. He is even starting to do these things during on-ball screens which refs usually watch like hawks. (you always get away with more off the ball with less eyes watching)
I hope our staff points this out to the officials before the games when we play them.
If left unchanged, he is going to pick up a ton of fouls in the NCAA tournament quick when crews from the rest of the country do call it. It's not doing Uconn any favors in the long term. Danny's head will explode when it finally gets called as it should.

Xavier split with Marquette and UConn, and were swept by us. They've still got 2 games with Creighton, which might determine whether they dance or not.

Karaban scoring in single digits again is unacceptable. Hes been a complete bust this year and Id say hes the biggest disappointed in all of college hoops this year.
With that said, uconn will be a force when mcneely returns.

RJ Davis would like a word
I said this before but I am tired of the losing attitude. We don't need to steal a game from them. They need to steal a game from us.
A “force” is far less a prediction of your’s than “national champions” you harped about for three months.
He isn't good enough to be The Guy. Good role player.
He has not gotten much better since last year. Reed should probably start
