Dude I tried to do get Duane's blood for The Bag but he went dark on us...
This is all Duane's fault.

RE: College Basketball 2014-15
I can't stand UConn either, right up there with Xavier and Charlotte in terms of annoying players. I always respected Memphis and Louisville because I felt we shared something in common for so long.
This conference tournament reminds me of times UC went on the road against traditional Big East powers, you knew the fix was in and unless your guy was tackled to the floor forget getting a foul called. Never again should the tournament be in Hartford, it reminds me of when C-USA held the tournament in Birmingham. Actually C-USA held the conference tournament in Birmingham again this year and UAB won it, wow what a shock. Orlando is the perfect site for tournament for the AAC, no true home court advantage and solid vacation destination for spring break. If not Orlando or Tampa then Memphis is the most centrally located site.
Legit conferences hold their tournament is tourist destinations or a centrally located city.WCC, Mountain West, and PAC-12 use Las Vegas. A-10 and the Big East have New York, Big Ten has Chicago, the SEC is in Nashville this season,the Missouri Valley has Arch Madness, Big XII is in KC, the ACC is in North Carolina again, while the American picks the most isolated school in the their 11 team mix to host the tournament. Thankfully next year the tournament will feel like a true neutral floor in a destination town.

After they lose on day 1 next year that arena will have tumbleweeds blowing through on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

My original point earlier about the A10 tourney was to pose the question why is the A10 tourney so well attended at a neutral site with teams like VCU and Davidson going at it?
I do think a warm(er) weather destination or at least a city with plenty of other entertainment would help, that's why I vote Orlando or New Orleans. I'd be good with Nashville or Indianapolis though.

If my buddy wasn't a diehard Uconn fan since the days of Doron Scheffer and they hadn't kept UK from a title, I'd have a strong disdain for them.
Point blank, they always have at least one guy with the killer mentality. Allen, Rip, Gordon, Kemba, Napier, Boatright.....
If I'm SMU at the 10 minute mark of the 2nd I go to a box and 1 and dont let Boatright see the ball again.

Watching the Arizona Oregon game. Don't care who wins. Just want to keep laughing at Bill Walton's commentary.

There is not a note, a series of notes, a chord, a riff of any kind that can adequately express my hatred and disdain for UCONN and this AAC conference. To attempt to play such an idea would be an affront to humanity and an insult to music lovers. I watched the last shot rim in four or five times on the network.
