great job by ed cooley at fairfield but couldnt over come fran "white magic" mccaffrey & his beloved siena saints....

I dont think Siena will be too good next year because they are losing lots of their major stars. I think Fairfield will be #1 in the MAAC next year...The combination of Nickerson, Needham, and Olander should be great. Siena does have a great team this year though and I think they could advance pretty far in the tournament depending on the matchup.

the hardest thing to do in this industry is to be a consistent winner at a mid major....

Well that was one of the worst Uconn losses ive ever seen.. Oddly enough Uconn's play today reminded me of the patriots play in the playoff game vs baltimore this year, just very similar in a weird way. Watching the Calhoun presser right now, hes not too happy his best quote so far they had 8 dunks if i was jumping up and down screaming i wonder how many of them we would have blocked lol

I'f you asked him today, my guess would be 2/3rd's "time to retire and be a fulltime golfer/grandpa" and 1/3rd "I'm back next year"

If you ask him in a few weeks, once the NIT is done (probably by the 2nd round at best for UCONN) I'd say that it's more like 50/50

Decent chance though that there will be a pretty prominent coaching position open for next season in Storrs

honestly, what makes you think they're a lock to even make the nit. they didnt make it at 17-14 when these idiots were freshman. i believe they're 17-15 after todays embarrasment.

pathetic. absolutely pathetic. and no hope for next year either.

it was supposed to be Leitao but i think his ship pulled a major titanic in the last 4 years.

anybody's guess. the way they have been recruiting thugs, i'd bet on huggins or maybe Whitey Bulger.
