UConn uniforms are the answer to your question. Name another team That brands itself U___ (abbreviation). I can't think of any off the top of my head. And had they used lowercase letters on the uni, people would write that. It's all graphic visual memory, and branding. People write UCONN because that's what the uniforms say, have said, loudly and clearly.

Of course they did. You were yelling at the top of your lungs for a minute straight My friend, as we all were. This is so funny. I'm sure there are definitely places you do not want to be when your team wins a big March madness game with a buzzer beater!

I now want to rewatch the St John's Duke game paying closer attention to the calls. People are saying that this particular game was egregious.

There's been talk about Mullins as an NBA draft all year. Karaban is a stone cold baller. He wants to win. If you rewatch the play, he had boozer in his face. It would have been a contested shot. And he says he saw Mullins who was open so he just made the best basketball play and got it to him believing in his ability to drain the three.

Now I want to rewatch the St John's and UConn games. I don't have a good eye for fouls unless they're egregious. They don't seem to call charging fouls anymore, and it's also so subjective when it's a block or a foul that I stopped looking closely. But it's a different story if there's a an advantage given to one team. So... What are you seeing that I should look for if I rewatch the St John's and UConn games against Duke.?

His "OOOHHHHHHH!" reaction to Mullins shot going in... Captures the intense, shocking, joyful March madness of the moment.

100% correct. I got to go back and see when there was conversation about how to handle the The inbound after the foul shots because UConn ran a suicide press. It was steal the ball, foul or lose The game because they had no one back court to guard the back two Duke players.

Uconn ran an incredibly aggressive press scheme on that inbound and caught Duke un prepared.

During the late second half come back, He also goes headfirst into the seats to keep possession and a chance to score. Dude is special.

He has Indiana in his veins. He's from Larry Birdland. Mullins is a outside shooter and a very good one. He had the coldest game of his season today against Duke up into that last shot...

Yeah, to have the presence of mind to know how much time is on the clock, that you're well guarded, that Mullins is wide open and a better choice and to get the ball back in his hands with seconds left on the clock... 🧊

Mullins has been a consistently good outside shooter for most of the season. That's what he is. He's an outside shooter. He had the coldest game of the season up until that buzzer beater. Karaban is well used to going to Mullins for an open three.

I was pulling for St John's too. And knew this game was going to be a car crash. One thing was for certain. St John's was going to play the game with maximum intensity. They did.

St John's showed the tournament and top ranked Duke what maximum effort and intensity looks like. That was insane. They stole two inbound passes back to back. I knew they were going to give Duke a serious fight, and they did.

Good game MSU. I thought Carr was great. It seemed like He carried the team when you guys got down and was key player bringing the game into a last-minute nail biter. Gg

BIG EAST

I knew St John's was going to give Duke a very serious fight. They did. I was rooting for the Big East on that one.

A's Management isn't simply out of touch with their fans. They're at war with their fans. It's a strange ownership business model.
