posty 2,615 Posted March 25, 2023 Can't win many games with 25 turnovers, no matter how good your team is... Been a nice run of Final Fours for Geno and company... Going to be weird not seeing them there... Will be right back next year with Paige, Azzi and Edwards back and any that has a COVID year left of eligibility...

TBayXXXVII 2,491 Posted April 4, 2023 43 minutes ago, Reality said: Man, UConn just dominated this entire tournament from start to finish. Never in doubt, Impressive. Don't remember a recent run quite like it. When you look at what they did, you'd have to wonder how they didn't practically run the table this year. During their Final Four matchup, I mentioned this in another post, that the announcer in the game said that that UConn might have as many as 3 lottery picks this year, but at least 2. So, I went looking up NBA mock drafts the other day and saw that none of them had an UConn player in the lottery and Adamo Sanogo wasn't even a top 50 pick in a lot of them. I looked at like 6 or 7, and they all seem to be in an agreement where Jackson and Hawkins were going in the 20's and Sanogo was a late 2nd rounder. Here's one that was updated this morning... In the first round, only Hawkins was getting drafted of the 3 previously mentioned, with the Freshman Center Clingan getting taken a few picks later, but both in the mid-to late 20's. If that's the case, I don't see any UConn player leaving. Hawkins is a sophomore, Sanogo and Jackson are juniors, Clingan is a freshman and Karaban is a redshirt freshman. That can be your starting 5 next year. I can't imagine any UConn player entering the draft if they're projected to be later round 1, or round 2 picks. I don't see how they can't improve their stock next year. They're going to lose some good talent though, as Newton, Calcaterra, and Alleyne are seniors/graduates, but they still have Diarra off the bench and they have a freshman from Isreal (Yarin Hasson), who was a top player over there, but didn't join the team until late August. I don't think he was eligible to play until January. There's also the transfer portal (that's how they got Calcaterra). I'm thinking there's a player or two that would like to go to UConn to be a part of that team. Bleacher Report updated their mock draft this morning also and has no UConn players going in the first round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,615 Posted April 5, 2023 UConn's win over SDSU lowest-viewed NCAA men's final on record https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/36082430/uconn-win-sdsu-lowest-viewed-ncaa-men-final-record NEW YORK -- Connecticut's victory over San Diego State in the men's national championship game ended up being the lowest-viewed final on record. The Huskies' 76-59 win averaged 14.69 million viewers on CBS. The previous low was 15.99 in 2018, when Villanova beat Michigan on TBS. UConn's 2004 victory over Georgia Tech, which averaged 17.09 million, was the lowest on CBS until Monday night. CBS and TBS began alternating Final Fours in 2016. Still, Monday's game was the most-watched program on television that evening and the most-watched basketball game -- college or pro -- since Kansas' victory over North Carolina in last year's national championship game. The women's NCAA championship game set a record Sunday when LSU beat Iowa 102-85, with 9.9 million viewers on ABC and ESPN2. This year's men's tournament averaged 9.55 million, down 7% from last year but up 4% from 2021. The first round on March 16-17 averaged 9.2 million, a record for the most-watched round of 64. The lack of national name-brand teams after upsets the first weekend and in the regional semifinals took a toll on viewing numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
