As much as I was hoping the Orange would get a shot at knocking Michigan State off of their #2 pedestal it was Uconn who had the honor yesterday in the Maui Invitational. As much as the headlines and box-score of this game would lead a reader to think that this proves Uconn is a…»
I’m going to try and avoid giving you a game recap on this one because plenty of excellent ones can be found here, here and here. Instead I just want to take note on a few bizarre things nobody has seemed to mention. First of all, a string of fifteen missed threes? That is just…»
