Congrats to Storrs State University Center for people Who Can’t Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too

[HOFCeluck]

Won their first tournament game since 2016. It’s always nice when the little guys get a win.

Lol.. wonder how many are claiming they are set to go to the FF and get title #5 now...

Where's my laptop??

It was right there on the table...

I mean, I understand the sentiment here. I hate UConn with a passion too. But we’re really in no position to be throwing stones right now. Hopefully that changes with next season, but they’re in a much better position than we are at the moment. That being said - screw them.

No way. Stones, boulders and oranges.. throw em all. That obnoxious fanbase deserves every one that lands.

Every fanbase has their share of nuts but it's a guarantee if you attend a UConn event as a rival fan, even in your own stadium, that there will be an incident of one of those schmucks being completely out of line.

UConn tourney wins since 2017: 1

Syracuse Sweet 16s since 2017: 2

 

[Scooch]

I’ve been told they are definitely not a rival.

The existence of this thread confuses me.

Yeah. Why are they all always so weird?

By who? In hoops?

It’s just a thread to congratulate our brothers to the
East on a rare tournament win.

The same people who a few years ago said all the schools outside P5 would end up sucking at hoops.

It’s OK, we’re all wrong sometimes.

 

[Eric15]

I will probably have to go on a "dark retreat" like Aaron Rodgers if this happens, but I just want to go on record that it won't surprise me at all if they go to the Final Four.

I mean - they obviously were a huge hoops rival for a solid 20 years.

A little different when you’re not in the same league, unless you make a point to play every year and keep it going - which doesn’t happen anymore.

Yeah it would suck- but it wouldn't be a surprise

Don’t put that evil out there guys

When they lose, wonderful coach Danny...

 

[UpstateSM]

Dan Hurley isn’t beating Rick Pitino and Randy Bennett in the same weekend

 

[realorange]

Lol.. wonder how many are claiming they are set to go to the FF and get title #5 now...

Actually, there are a fairly large number of sports casters that are taking UConn to win it all.

And especially their coach.

I would say that over 50% of the threads on this board this year were to some degree throwing stones at our own program (or at least significant frustration), and at times quite justifiably.

We should be fine with taking shots at other programs even if they are doing better than us right now. Especially when its Storrs, and particularly Hurley.

I hate this sentiment. They're arguably our biggest rival. They actually have fans, unlike Georgetown, so that makes it more intense. We have every right to laugh at them. That's what makes rivalries fun.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Bet them for final four when it was +700….gotta hedge misery always.

 

[Sherman20]

Lol, that’s wild. We’ve been to a Final Four and 2 Sweet 16s since then.
