It help that Sanogo gets the ball wherever he wants it and a bunch of shooters
But yeah best half court offense I’ve seen

And they started the season with Samson Johnson who started the first game and the got hurt
New Jersey basketball royalty slips through RUs fingers. What a missed opportunity.
They are in the north east...they take advantage of other north east programs not being as "organized" I guess. Syracuse as well but has fallen off in recent years. I guess boehiem was aging and it's relatively far from NYC/Jersey/philly compared to uconn. But if you're from the north east and want to play close to home with a chance to win. UConn was pretty much your best option. They will have more competition now with Rutgers making noise, you know st. John's will be back with Pitino, maybe Maryland will become formidable again as well. But for a while UConn was the most legit program for north east players if they didn't want to go to far.
It's not like we're terrible.
I have no idea what their respective resumes were at the time but HC Pike hasn't exactly been a bad hire.
UConn athletics is simply on another level from Rutgers athletics - in their decision making & knowing how to win with fewer resources.
Even their football program is about the same level as ours, if you look at most of the post season rankings.
They have smarter management and coaches, and know how to hire with intention. Unlike Rutgers, who hires & worships hacks like Schiano.

Anti-climatic end to a fun tournament, barely stayed awake during that. UConn just way too good
Bro the literally have kids from all around the country, location literally nothing to do with it
Jeez lol enjoy the game man..how did we get here? RU athletics is headed in the right direction and will begin earning even more money for the university. Lets end this negative trolling of RU athletics...
Hurley is quite the charismatic fellow. I see why he was killing recruiting the last couple seasons
We need guards guards guards have to do whatever we can to make room and open up playing time for a guard who can come in and score the ball
6 absolutely horrible teams? Lol wtf are you talking about?
Absolutely horrible teams don't make the NCAA tournament. They certainly don't advance far in the tournament
How many of the 68 teams are absolutely horrible? It's 6 minimum apparently
How do they do it? Great tradition, brilliant coaching, stellar recruiting, plus a great fanbase in a state where everyone loves their state university.

That "Jersey City, Jersey City" was priceless. You would think that New Jersey had just won the championship.
They'll be good for some time for sure, winning does that. BE is going to get even better and Hurley has recruited well.
If you watched them last year, they played nothing like this. They were tough to watch.
In their 9 man rotation, they have 6 new players, 2 freshmen and 4 transfers.
Newton, Alleyne, Diarra and Joey C are the transfers - can Hurley coach guys to play like them or can he be that successful in the portal every year.?
Only Joey C is out of eligibility - they have 5 FR coming in
Hawkins is a first round pick, Sanogo leaves for sure - prob a couple bench players and maybe 1-2 of the guys who transferred in graduate and transfer
SDST runs a far better half court offense than Rutgers but UConn defense stifled drives to the basket which is a major reason why they easily won a National Championship.
Blue Blood not new blood. 10 years isn’t long enough and you have to win a national championship(s).
B10 would kill to have a Mickey Mouse champ in a lousy tournament.
Such petty sour grapes around here.
Lol UConn is Basketball Penn State. Let's call it what it is.
Yep that sounds right. UConn is Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack...a lot to show for things but not a blue blood because they still are new money overall.
The flip side of upsets is mismatches in the later rounds.
PSU = obsessed with football. UConn = obsessed with basketball. Not really hard to figure out.
