UConn is tough but not as good as 2 years ago. Duke is talented but I don't think Scheyer is as good a coach as he is recruiter and they've had to fight against Siena and St. John's. I feel confident we could beat both.

Tyler should really watch UConn and learn how to add some off ball movement and action into the offense.

Iowa didn't have the size to match up inside but they showed the achilles heel of this offense is that if you play straight up you force them into a ton of slow iso play where the ball stops moving.

I’m speechless. All the pain and heartache over the years. We f*ckin made it to the Final Four!!!!!!!

 

[DeeIL89]

Secret is out.

Even if we lose this one...this has to be our best season ever. We've never had a Freshman like Keaton, let alone 2 elite ones in the same season. This ride isn't over yet. We NEED revenge for that MSG massacre Puke gave us. If it weren't for the booze and eddies...I wouldn't sleep tonight. Holy , am I dreaming?

WE ARE WHO WE THOUGHT WE ARE.
Whover plays us are going to have their hands full. Going to really enjoy this no matter the outcome from this point.

Looking back at our previous game against UConn, Boswell scored 25. Wagler and Stojakovic had 3 each.
