I’m not sure using the words “ great for the BE Conference ,” are what I would apply to UCONN.


The usual perspective of them being the only State funded school in the league has had great advantage for them .

And , the NIL portal era only multiples that advantage

The BE would be fine without them .

Recall they left the League in a flash some years ago , when they fantasized they would join one of the big Football conferences . Only to find out they weren’t wanted by any of those schools .
They floundered in the AAC in BB and were on their way to being forgotten as a National Power .

We should have let that happen . But , no the BE bean counters , made a argument that letting them back into the BE was good business .

Good Business ? Sure for UCONN but , not the rest of the league .

They hired Hurley to replace the fired Kevin Olley and he used all the $$$ to turn the Huskies back into a dominant BE team . This year excepted.


And , the likelihood is they will continue to be at , or near that top tier (5) for quite a long time

UCONN should be in.a State University League , not a private , mostly Catholic one .

That my view
This post is 1 million percent correct.
 

Shocked I say, shocked.

 
Many years ago, when I first started posting I was informed that the proper vernacular when referring to the University of Connecticut is “Yukon” not UConn. I think we need to get our heads right and back to basics around here. 😤
 
I expect U Conn to come out with energy, hit the boards hard, and look for opportunities to take advantage on the switches. In the latter I expect them to target Smith if they get him on Reed/Samson, Flagg, or Karaban.

The last few games teams have found that if they get Zuby out on the perimeter they can beat us in the paint and I am sure Hurley did not miss that.

On offense we are becoming more dangerous since when people give us the 3 we have been hitting some.

Think it will be a very competitive game.
