This is a far cry from the days of Dee Rowe and happy to be making the NIT. My dad went to UConn in the 70s(reason why I'm a fan) and he's just dumbfounded as to where this program is. I'm just so happy at this point.
I gave up on them. Daniels was dogging it on D and Calhoun was a disaster. Then the Louisville game when they quit and there was talk that Napier and Boat were having issues off the court...this is crazier than 2011 IMO, especially given Ollie, the AAC, the APR stuff, everything. I mean all the forces have been against this program. the great thing is this is such an FU to the ACC and ESPN.
But whatever on all that. These kids are so tough mentally and well coached, its hard not to like them.
