2024/03/26

This UConn team is extremely good.It has one of the most dominant centers in the country, two experienced, All-American-caliber guards, a five-star freshman who can lock up the nation’s top scorers, and they round out their starting five with a 50-40-90 forward who started for last year’s national champions.It’s no wonder they blew past Stetson and Northwestern on their way to the Sweet 16.In the latest episode of the podcast, Aman, Dan, and Patrick discuss the continued excellence of Dan Hurley’s

We had a lot of fun at the Big East Tournament, didn’t we folks? The UConn Huskies sure did, winning all three of their games comfortably despite some slow starts and other minor challenges along the way.Their prize? The top overall seed and their first four games will be in ideal locations, though they can expect to see some decently challenging opponents.In this episode of the podcast, Aman, Dan, and Patrick discuss the NEW emerging greatness on display from the UConn Huskies, especially the

These UConn Huskies appear to be unflappable.If it wasn’t for a few injuries or an insane shooting night from Creighton in Omaha, it’s wild to think that a regular season with 28 wins could have gone even better.After 31 games, UConn won all but three, setting multiple program and league records along the way. Four players were honored on the Big East all-league teams and more honors are likely coming.In this episode of the podcast, we try to put all of this success in perspective while also

Fast Break Pod: Big East clinching scenarios, UConn's...

UConn Fast Break ·

2024/02/27

A week ago, UConn men’s basketball took its first loss of 2024. The Huskies followed that with a big win over Villanova at Gampel. In their final home game on Sunday against Seton Hall, they have a chance to clinch at least a share of the Big East regular-season title before a tough two-game road trip to close out the season.This podcast episode covers all that plus UConn players’ potential for Big East postseason honors and NBA Draft interest. Given Dan Hurley’s disdain for mock drafts at this

The UConn Huskies’ immense success is starting to feel like a burden. Will fans survive if nothing short of a championship will do?This podcast was recorded after the Marquette game and before the Creighton game. We didn’t break down the Creighton matchup but did discuss the final stretch of the season and the fact that UConn could lose a game or two (it looks like that prophecy already came true).We’ve had a little bit of a delay in editing podcasts lately, our apologies.

We had some technical difficulties in getting this episode out after recording, so our apologies. It doesn’t affect much but we intended for this to go out before the Georgetown game.In this episode, the crew discusses UConn’s recent stretch of four games in nine days, the fact that the team is an absolute wagon, and looks ahead to the home stretch of the regular season — the final six games should be a wild ride!Thank you all for listening!

Fast Break Pod: Sustaining Excellence

UConn Fast Break ·

2024/01/15

The UConn Huskies are a well-equipped group. They’re talented, deep, experienced, well-coached, and sitting (tied for) first in the Big East standings through six games. Our latest podcast covers the resolve of this team to keep up its winning ways.This stretch without Donovan Clingan has become an opportunity for other guys to step up and for the coaches to develop new wrinkles in the on-court strategy. It may be cliche to say the team will be better off for overcoming this adversity, but that is

On the latest episode of the podcast, our crew runs four deep to break down the Kansas game, the Lawrence experience, and the Huskies’ dismantling of North Carolina at Madison Square Garden. Our conclusion: this team is really, really good.We expressed a deep appreciation for Cam Spencer, the hero of the UNC game and a spirit animal for the most rabid parts of the fanbase, and Tristen Newton, whose extraordinary play has warranted All-American consideration. Meanwhile, a lot of guys off the bench,

UConn men’s basketball has dominated the early schedule and even set an NCAA record along the way while also winning the Empire Classic at MSG by beating Indiana and Texas, comfortably.So UConn is good, great even.But… Stephon Castle is hurt. Donovan Clingan was hurt. The Huskies are still dependent on a lot of youngsters and they’ve yet to be tested in any serious way this season. They led for the final 30+ minutes of the Indiana game and wire-to-wire against Texas in those de-facto home games in

UConn Fast Break ·

2023/11/16

The UConn Huskies are 3-0 as they get ready to take on Indiana and possibly No. 19 Texas at Madison Square Garden this Sunday and Monday. But not everything is perfect in Storrs.Stephon Castle sat out the MVSU game with a knee injury suffered during the Stonehill game but not diagnosed until a day or two later, according to head coach Dan Hurley. Without Castle, the Huskies looked sluggish even in a big victory against the Delta Devils. It probably doesn’t help that big man Donovan Clingan only

Basketball season is less than a week away!On the latest episode of the podcast, Aman and Patrick discuss how the competition is shaping up around the Big East. The Huskies were picked to finish third in the league, behind Marquette and Creighton, and will have a lot to prove after losing so many stars from last year’s squad, while also facing new head coaches at St. John’s and Georgetown that should improve those teams.
