UConn 'bleeds blue' and is creating its own category beyond traditional Blue Bloods

His thing is like, no, forget the blue blood. You know, we're a program that bleeds blue. Max the bleed blue. So like we're gonna create our own because we've got the five national championships and NBA players for days in the last 20 years. Most of anyone... We don't even wanna be a blue blood. We're our own kind of deal.

UConn went on to win the 2024 championship as well, cementing their status as the dominant program of the 21st century.

Diar DeRozan single-handedly won the play-in game for the Bulls against the Raptors

Diar DeRozan stole the story of the play-in game on Wednesday night. She single-handedly stopped the Toronto Raptors... She was screaming so loud before every free throw that the Raptors took in a dead silent arena. The Raptors went 18 for 36 from the free throw line. Ended up losing the game by what four? It was she won that game for the Bulls.

The Raptors' poor free throw performance was historically bad for an elimination game, and her screaming was a direct, audible factor throughout the broadcast.

Diar DeRozan is the #1 overall NBA daughter

She's great. She's way better than Riley Curry. Yes. Before ranking NBA daughters, I got her one A in my daughter draft. I think that she was, she was great.

Inherently subjective ranking of athletes' children.

Houston is a team of wolves led by a wolf

Houston is just a bunch of wolves, man led by a wolf... the way they get after it, you, you can't prepare for it. It's like a pass rush that just the quarterback is gonna be rattled and it kills, it kills your transition offensive game because it's hard for you to even run on them because getting a defensive rebound feels like survival.

Subjective evaluation of team culture by a peer coach.

UConn's historic season hasn't been covered enough by national media

Our season hasn't been covered in, in my mind and the, you know, national media enough, you know, this is a team that's done historic stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah. I mean, if we were at Duke or Kentucky or Kansas, they would lead SportsCenter with it and it would be the biggest story in sports.

While UConn was highly ranked all year, Hurley's point about media focus on teams like Duke is a common sentiment in New England.

The Big East representative recusal rule in the tournament committee room is a disadvantage

In that room, there's, you know, with all those committee members, when the, when the representative from your league, when they're talking about teams in your league, that person's not allowed to stay in the room. Yeah. So I guess what you gotta learn the, we have gotta learn the arc of is like, I guess of how to destroy these other conferences when you are in the room.

The recusal policy for committee members whose schools or conferences are being discussed is a real NCAA protocol.
