I mean why are you being penalized for being bigger and a better fighter?
Thought this was AMERICA
I'm a UConn fan and my wife and I went to all the Big East tournaments, starting with the one at the Carrier Dome in 1981 (until moving South in 2011) and have to wonder how many you've attended if you think UConn fans are the worst.their fans are the worst… you must not have gone to many big east tournaments

We suffered in obscurity and with the lack of facilities and good coaching for the first decade in the Big East, always in the then Wednesday night play in game at the tournament, and were very excited one year when we beat BC in the play-in game. We thought maybe this is the start of something big but lost the next night.
But then magic happened. The NIT Championship in 1988 gave the fans hope and then came 1990. The Dream Season. No five star recruits, no four star recruits, just a hard working bunch that meshed as a team.
If you went this year and think UConn fans are the worst, (we still go occasionally) you must not have had any PC fans sitting near you and if you went during the first fifteen years of the league you must not have paid attention to how the SU and GTown fans acted. St Johns fans never bothered us because they were, unbelievably, more reserved, but SU and GTown were either boisterous or arrogant, depending on how charitably you viewed them.
SU and Gtown were kings of the league and their fans assumed the same personna. We couldn't beat Villanova, occasionally gave SU a good game, but our fans started to gain confidence when we won our first Big East tournament championship in 1990. Imagine how we felt beating Gtown (with Mutombo and Mourning) and SU (with Coleman and Owens) with sophomore journeyman Dan Cyrulik and six foot six inch freshman Toraino Walker as our center and power forward. We were all elated. We wanted it so badly it was almost hard to believe it happened.
So, maybe the UConn fans today are your alter ego...
They’re a trashy bunch.What gets me is the absolute lack of respect they have for Jimmy B. Using the accident as humor, bragging about Tyler Olander’s ring count etc
I have to question whether you were actually there. As you refer to Georgetown fans.

But Danny Hurley can’t coach offense and blah, blah, blah…..Ya, this is looking worse and worse. Just steamrolling teams. Please make it stop
I personally think there are bad fans representing every team. they over power the good fans mostly. To blame all fans because of a couple is pretty ridiculous. Of course it’s all part of the game. Georgetown was a great rivalry, same with UConn.I'm a UConn fan and my wife and I went to all the Big East tournaments, starting with the one at the Carrier Dome in 1981 (until moving South in 2011) and have to wonder how many you've attended if you think UConn fans are the worst.

Bet the moneyline before the game and the odds were still good at half time and doubled it up, hammered the under 6 different times the second half. It’s like collecting alimony from an ex wife.Bet storz money line tonight. Emotional hedge
They have better than that. They have #5 kid in country and then 3 top 75’s, but why would anyone want to play for that psycho?Not only do they have a great team this year, they have 3 Top 100 Recruits coming in next year.
It was the 80's and early 90's. They were the ones with the yellow ties...I have to question whether you were actually there. As you refer to Georgetown fans. In plural.
I think I met one once.
What I don’t get is how Louisville after almost going 0 for the season can get 3 top 100 guys. I have faith in Red, but next recruiting cycle is going to be very telling on what direction we’re heading.They have better than that. They have #5 kid in country and then 3 top 75’s, but why would anyone want to play for that psycho?
Because he can coach and puts them in position to succeed. As a player, I’d rather have the psychopath that pushed me and my teammates than the old overseer.They have better than that. They have #5 kid in country and then 3 top 75’s, but why would anyone want to play for that psycho?
Kills me, but UCONN is very good. I threw 5 dollars on them to win it all. It made me sick. Pays out 95 dollars. Nothing crazy. But they had the best advanced stats against the best team.
What I mean by that, is they played their best ball against the top teams. When playing top 50 teams, they had the best advanced stats. Something like that.
I'd love to see an SU team play with their intensity and athleticism.so is this UCONN hate or Hurley hate? This year's team is fun to watch. Very good, and frankly makes me very envious. Their program success tops ours. It sucks but it is what it is. We are part of that history and have provided some thorns in their side, and they have achieved more than us. We need to get off our feet and get back in the fight.
What gets me is the absolute lack of respect they have for Jimmy B. Using the accident as humor, bragging about Tyler Olander’s ring count etc
I think the Olander ring count thing is just a funny joke, I won't act like SU fans wouldn't do the same thing if it was in reverse.
Hopefully, you won't have that long to wait.I'd love to see an SU team play with their intensity and athleticism.
