Did I read the UCONN box score right? Did Brimah really have 5 fouls in 6 minutes?

I didn't watch the game but that has to be a typo.
 
Guys this website has the most negative people in America. It is absolutely ridiculous! Don't you think our recruits now and future recruits read this website. Would you guys want to come here if you were one of them. You guys attack our players, league, coach, facilities, style of play..... it goes on and on. I'm not saying we shouldn't be a little critical but remember guys we are Bearcat fans and as fans we should make an attempt to look at things in a positive light. I have been a Bearcat fan since I can remember (like 1970). At 8 years old I had my scorebook and I would listen on the radio and keep score. Lloyd Batts filled up my scorebook. Seldom was there a game on TV. Please appreciate and love our Bearcats first and foremost. Moderators please don't kick me off.

Go Bearcats!
Fan for 36 years!
Never not a fan for a second!

I don't think any recruit would be surprised if they read this site and saw that I said the AAC is terrible this season, which it is. That's not an opinion. When UCONN is having a down year, that hurts. Takes us from a 3-bid league to maybe 1, depends on what SMU does. I try not to be critical of the players and coaches unless it's deserved. But, this league is terrible this season. UC and SMU are the only teams who has the chance to make any noise in the tourney.
 
It's funny but when I was 12-13 Lloyd Batts was the first player I pretended to be and I would bury myself in one corner or the other. Man he was cool.

I wasn't talking about one person specifically. Think about it though if you are a recruiter for another school and it is down to us and them all he has to do is tell them to go to this website for reasons not to pick UC. There are dozens of examples by several users over and over again. Haven't we lost out on several recruits over and over again. If you guys want to be great again stop giving them so much am
ammunition.

You give this site way too much credit/power lol. This isn't changing any recruits mind, sorry.
 
I think the AAC will be a lot better next year. This year injuries have and transfers have depleted the league. You also have quite a few coaches in their first or 2nd year. Next year I look for Cincinnati Houston SMU Temple Conn. Tulsa to be as good or better . Temple and Conn. should be way better.

Disagree. The internet is a powerful tool. This is the main Bearcat source now for news. We are 14-2! You would think we were 2-14 from some people on this site. Believe me I have seen some crappy teams at UC. This team ain't one of them. I saw one team go like 3-24 under Yates. Still I watched every game hoping we would win. You guys don't know how good you have it.

This gives some great perspective lol. I'll take 14-2 hopefully soon to be 15-2 any year.

If you read any other teams boards you will find almost the exact same thing. I don't believe it would be a deciding factor.

I get his point though. Why make it easy for someone to not choose your school? Maybe other boards are like that too. I don't really care. I don't want this board to be like any other boards. I want it to be better than any other boards.
 
I know recruiting is changing a lot but I just can't believe many recruits are reading the forums. They probably stick to Twitter, where if you follow the right people, all they say is positive stuff about UC to recruits. The league is bad this year. I agree with others when they say the league will improve next season. If we are in the AAC for the long term, which it seems to be, then we desperately need the bottom feeding teams to improve. With some solid coaching hires in the league, I hope those teams can get better so our schedule isn't so bad because of league play.
