My UConn family is going to hate me for this… It I wasn’t a UConn fan and was just a neutral, I would probably love Providence’s team under Kim English.

If Fiorentina sell Alfred Duncan, it’ll be something they regret. The kid has been nothing but a stud when on the pitch!! Duncan, Castrovilli, and Amrabat in the midfield could be lethal. @Viola_Nation what do you think?

@madeformarch After checking for their records against the field + bubble teams + bad losses (all non con) for each team either in or on the bubble, the results by conference are kinda surprising. - MWC is 6-15 (.286) - SEC is 10-22 (.313) - Big 12 is 11-10 (.524) - B1G is 12-13 (.480)

@ryancassidycbb As a UConn fan I would give Xavier a B+ overall. Hell of a season by the Sean Miller Musketeers but they lost the conf as much as Marquette won it. I know they exceeded expectations but so did Marquette & UConn. In the end Xavier was a great team & something to build off 4 sure!

@hawkeye282 He also seemed to call plays just to call plays rather than setting up the defense. They ran literally one traditional play action all game and our favorite QB missed a guy that was wide open by 10 feet and threw it OB. Not to mention, there was only one double move all game.
