Coming from a guy that knew Uconn sucked before Calhoun got to Storrs you make no sense. You seem to really under estimate how hard it is be bring a bottom feeder into national elite status.

Also Bob Knight called Cuse the best defense currently, just like many announcers and coaches called Uconn's 2004 and 2009 teams. Doesn't mean much except that you are good this year. Just like Uconn was good in 2004 and 2009.

Also LOL about the 2-3 since Cuse have have been moaning endless the last few years about JB refusing to go away from the 2-3 at times.

Hopefully you can also appreciate the work it takes to maintain a program in the upper tier of the BE for as many years as Boeheim has done. One of the winningest active coaches. Hopefully you can also appreciate that for the years when UCONN "Sucked," as you say, the BE did not suck because men like Boeheim contributed to the quality of the league.

Respect goes both ways. If your boys can't give it, don't come looking for it. I respect Calhoun- he's been great for the BE and for UCONN. Boeheim has great for SYR and for the BE as well.

This conversation is a special relationship with certain UCONN fans. You wouldn't understand it.

SFHusky; WVU will always be Pitt's top rival. UConn is our 2nd biggest rival.

Cuse, Georgetown and SJU built the Big East...Louisville and Cincy didn't build the BE but they help build college BB.

UConn rides on the backs of others in BB and FB.

Texan - LOL. BTW, I never had any doubt UCONN would take out WVU last night cause they are a bad matchup for us. They don't got any guard who can hang with Walker or Dyson.

Dude - it has been years. UCONN has contributed mightily to this house. Rides on the back of others? How many times others have rode on UCONN's back? It works both ways.

UCONN will be in the NCAA. Some top seeds gonna sweat their butt off seeing Huskies in their bracket. UCONN already played one of the toughest schedule in the country so there will be no surprises in the NCAA.

SFHUSKY- you make these boards fun. Tell your other UCONN fans not to be so sensitive.

This Pitt fan says WVU is our top rival, that is why the BE assigns us to play twice a year, every year without question.

I should rephrase and say many Pitt fans consider UCONN one of its top rivals. I know WVU is your top rival. However, when most Pitt fans compare program success they don't compare it to WVU.

OK, I'll accept the statement that "many Pitt fans consider UCONN one of its top rivals". UConn IS "one" of our top rivals right now, but that is only because of the fierce competitiveness and national and BE importance of Pitt-UConn games the past 7 or 8 years.

It does not matter Yosemite. Like I said, UCONN is everyone's rival. This is why teams rush the floor when they beat us even when we are down.

This is the type of smack I like...verbal sparring but no one gets hurt. LOL This board is a fun place.

Like I said... UConn isn't our top rival... WVU is and will always be.

Or care. You have great hoops, an unremarkable football program, and nothin' else.

As if we care what a program who has done nothing special and was in the CDOA not too long ago. Please, get off your horse. Beating Cincy in anything is nothing to write home for UCONN especially in basketball. It is expected like our annual win against Boston College in the old days.

You will never be considered our rival in anything and that's a good thing for us.

UCONN fans don't consider you guys our top rival either. We just had some good games thats all. They were just more like wrestling matches not like pure basketball games. UCONN on the other hand, is capable of playing any style of basketball physical or not.

Um. We have the same number of national titles and we have more final fours than you.

Not to mention we completely owned you this season.

Not to mention we've owned you in football for your entire existence.

But okay, buckaroo.

LOL. Ask most people who are the better basketball programs today. You already know the answer. Sure you beat us when we are down this year. By end of the year, look where Cincy will be at and look where UCONN will be at. Like I said before the season and after you beat us the 1st time, you will take your usual middle of the pack finish sitting at home watching real big boys like UCONN, GTOWN and CUSE playing in the NCAA. It is not how you start but how you finish.

As for football, you forgot quickly how badly we beat your butt last year or how close this year's game is. Considering we been in D1A like what? 7 years? It is arguably we have accomplished as much as you have like playing D1A in what? 100 years? You have owned nothing.

Comparing to us in what? Academics? Overall athletic program? Not even close. At least Pitt and Cuse have beat us in basketball here and there. Cincy, not counting this year, not so much. In basketball, you are just another team on our schedule we expect to win, nothing more and nothing less.

You seem to forget your assessment of UCONN team. We really suck don't we? LOL.. Look who has no clue what he is talking about. Like I said preseason, early in the season and during the season, it is how you finish not how you start.

ESPN Sportscenter just said UCONN is the hottest team. Funny how things can change in just a few weeks.

Your main problem, Husky, is sometimes you're the person who looks like they don't have a clue - especially when UConn is losing...

My assessment of this team has always been they are one of the most talented team in the NCAA. They have played horribly through stretches. I have ALWAYS said by Feb/March, this team will be ready for the NCAA even when they played badly against bad teams. Funny how things have a way of working itself out.
