UConn

Do you know how wild it is to go to UConn and hit the best shot in school history

My grandfather played for UConn. He died in 1998. He never saw them make the Final Four. My father was behind the basket in 1990. He saw Duke deny UConn its first Final Four. I was behind the basket tonight. I saw UConn’s greatest win of all time.

Do you like these pictures I took

Since 1999 UConn men’s basketball is 29-4 (87.9%) in NCAA Tournament games in the Sweet 16 or later. The Huskies have won 17 such games in a row. 29-4!

Now comes the haunting spectre. The unyielding nightmare. The worst round in the tournament. The Elite 8.

Let’s go Huskies.

This is the single most egregious missed foul call of my lifetime

Before the game I would have told you UConn is a bad matchup for MSU and if the Huskies played their game they’d be comfortable, but they don’t always play to potential and MSU is too good to mess around with. At halftime I’d tell you wow I’m smart

If you’re wondering who the president of the University of Connecticut is she’s wearing the silver jacket

Baby we’ve got a stew going

UConn’s vibes are good as hell

SOLO FUCKING BALL

Every analysis of tonight's game I've read is either “UConn is built in a way that will be structurally difficult for MSU to deal with so I’m taking the Huskies” or “Give me MSU UConn’s vibes are bad” which feels appropriate.

Here we go again

A sincere congratulations to St. John’s and its fans on an excellent season. It’s rare to see a program hit its absolute ceiling but you guys sure did it.

This is really difficult for me as someone who hates both of these teams

NOTICING

They say the beauty of college basketball is that you can play different styles. Arizona has three 3s and 69 points. Houston has four 3s and 26 points.

It’ll be so funny if this is Sean Miller’s first final four man

Imagine being a Big Ten team with an opening last year that didn’t hire Ben McCollum. That’d be crazy if you had a strong basketball brand.

🎯🎯🎯🎯

Iowa/Nebraska is going to end first lmao

Can’t believe a Matt Painter team is struggling against players who are strong or fast

CBS did a great job staggering the games so Purdue/Texas came back right as Iowa/Nebraska hit halftime. They did a HORRIBLE job putting a Ben McCollum team in the second start position. These games are going to end at the exact same time.

Real severe escalation point about 2/3rds of the way through this video of a golf course that needs work.

Bubba Cunningham slapping the 2026 disbursements summary on the table next to A+M and LSU brass like he’s doing the scar scene from Jaws.

Sure spending $50+ million dollars on the Belichick fiasco and firing Hubert and needing to hire replacements for both seems insane but imagine how much easier it makes the cultural fit portion of their SEC application in 2030

Hubert Davis beat Duke in K’s last home game and then beat Duke in the Final Four to end K’s career. The other 177 games do not matter.

Since 1999 UConn men’s basketball is 28-4 (87.5%) in NCAA Tournament games in the Sweet 16 or later. 28-4!

Some common ground with the Johnnies

“Two rings, baldy”

UConn is the first to 69 points this evening. In the Dan Hurley era, UConn is 146-1 (99.32%) when scoring 69 points before their opponent. Huskies lead UCLA 69-57 with 1:51 remaining.

Tarris Reed has gotten rebounds on 8 different balls tonight I thought we’re destined to be out of bounds

UConn KILL SHOT @evanmiya.bsky.social

Alex Karaban wants to play more games

🧅🧅

Yes

BRAYLON MULLINS IS BACK WATCH THE FUCK OUT WORLD

Jayden Ross is UConn’s most important player rn

Jayden Ross you can put ice cream on spaghetti now I don’t give a fuck you do you man I love it

Jayden Ross you absolute prince

I love this team so fucking much. They’re my dream roster construction. When Tarris is doing this, man, it’s all there, potentially. I want this one bad. Let’s go math.

Winning back-to-back national championships is hard, unlike talking to women your own age. Todd Golden struggles with both though, apparently.

I want to be direct: that foul call on Tarris Reed Jr. is the single worst foul call of all time and it’s not close.

Brain: “the open 3s are good looks and are going to start falling” Heart: [user error, doesn’t exist, default to brain]

The most miserable two hours of my year begin now

Nothing wrong with committing a foul up 6 (if you believe in fouling up 3)

NIL/portal, realignment, and the committee becoming good at their job have made the first round much less interesting, but everything after it is absolute box office. Good trade.

It’s early for Kentucky to move on from Mark Pope BUT if they did you have to think they’d call Arkansas coach John Calipari. Ace recruiter. Knows the SEC. Has made back-to-back Sweet 16s in two seasons with the Razorbacks.
