I was just thinking about opening dude, good call. Watch out for Kemba Walker baby. He got one heck of an early start to the season. Huskies just beat # 2 Michigan state at the Maui Invitational.

Tiger444 · #3 November 23, 2010, 10:48 PM

^^That was a very good game by UConn. Michigan State has looked pretty overrated so far in my opinion. There are definitely better teams then them so far. We got a tough schedule ahead of us. We got Michigan, then the winner of GT/UTEP, N.C. State, and then Michigan State.

Ajfar · #4 November 25, 2010, 09:05 AM

Kemba was on fire yesterday. 4 back to back games with 30+ points. I dont think any player has done that this year so early on in the season.

^^UConn absolutely smoked Kentucky. Doesn't look like their rebuilding but rather reloading! Kemba has looked a very potent scorer so far. They look like they can be 1 of the top BE teams if they keep it up.

Not that anyone cares but the 90 game winning streak by the lady huskies has come to an end. Stanford the same team that beat them last time 2 years ago.

I'm going to the Cuse/St. John's game tomorrow. Should be a very good game since St. John's has improved a lot. Hope the boys don't take them lightly and come out comfortably.

Ajfar · #11 January 17, 2011, 11:06 PM

Tough lost for your orange tonight Tiger444. That's was a great comeback after that 19-0 run by Pitt. Syracuse had plenty of chances but they just couldn't finish them. I'm def putting Pitt in my final 4.

To be honest I was pretty happy even though we lost. Pitt looks like a very very strong team and is nearly impossible to beat at home. They usually beat us since their a physical team. I'm confident that we'll beat Villanova this Saturday since its at home. Congratz to UConn for a great win against Nova. It looked like you guys were hitting a slump after the ND game but you guys have bounced back. Kemba has just been a monster this year. Seems like this year's team is a lot more humble and hard working. Last year's team was full of talent but was too egoistic and lazy.

Whats going on with them orange Tiger? 3 losses in a row.

I don't know man. We just are not looking good. Scoop has been way too inconsistent which has hurt us. He really needs to step it up since he's 1 of our leaders. Also we need more support underneath for Jackson. Fab has been a bust. Our zone hasn't been very effective which is always our key. If our defense steps up we should be able to bounce back. With games on the road against Marquette and UConn, things are not gonna get any easier so we have to correct our mistakes and quick.

Scorer don't have a place unless he has a decent defense. Offense gets the glory but defense wins championships!! Few exceptions are there but very rare!! Any sports.

When Kevin Durant says he is the best scorer in the world then he must have some game.

Ajfar · #17 January 27, 2011, 11:37 PM

I'm going to the Conn vs. Louisville game on Saturday. Should be a good game, hoping for a Kemba special. I really wanted to go to the Syracuse game but too lazy to drive down to XL Center.

Mijan bhai my knowledge in this matter is extremely feeble. Just caught it on headlines and I think people are too much hyping him up. It will surely get to his head.

Relax he's a mormon

And he's been doing his thing all season, he's had the espn hype Machine for a Month now and he's steped his game up to a another level.

Similar to Steph Curry

Have fun bro. It should be a good game. Louisville's a decent team but I don't see you guys losing to them. And don't bother going to the Cuse game. You wouldn't want to see your Huskies getting smashed would you?

Ajfar · #21 January 31, 2011, 06:46 PM

What a weekend, 7 ranked team lost to non ranked team. Duke got killed my Saint Johns. Huskies vs. orange coming up Wednesday. Should be a good game.

Ajfar · #22 March 13, 2011, 09:01 AM

What a week. BD beating ENG and UCONN winning the big east championship. By far the best week of this year for me. Loving every moment of it.
