This team just didn’t have it. There is no other way to put it. Ryan Boatright is not Kemba Walker, Ryan Boatright is not Shabazz Napier and the UConn Huskies fell short in the American Athletic Conference Tournament Championship game yesterday. Although our NCAA Tournament hopes rimmed around and bounced out, I saw something in…

Watch below as Niels Giffey scores 9 of ALBA Berlin’s final 11 points, including the game-tying and game-winning three over Khalid El-Amin’s Goettingen. Although as UConn fans already know, the two-time National Champion’s shooting touch gets much softer come March… Giffey finished with 14 points/4 rebounds in just 21 minutes of action while El-Amin added…

The United Nations is investigating an alleged air assault on Georgia after this video surfaced online. Clearly 7’1 center Giorgi Shermadini doesn’t read mattwemet.com. A flashback to Dyson’s January exchange with Italian center Tomas Ress: Good thing Dyson can ball because foreign affairs is clearly not his forte… Did a few names on that countdown…

State of the UConn President Herbst, AD Manuel, Coach Ollie and all those who bleed blue: We are two years into this new conference. No longer a member of the most dominant conference in college basketball but rather, the American Athletic Conference. A conference reminiscent of the island of misfit toys in the Christmas…

When we last checked in with Hilton Armstrong almost a year ago he had just been selected to represent the Golden State Warrior’s D-League affiliate (Santa Cruz) in the 2014 NBA D-League All-Star game. For the remainder of the Spring, Armstrong bounced between Santa Cruz and Golden State before signing in April for the remainder of…

Andre Drummond made two huge plays in the waning seconds of Friday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers. First, deadlocked at 96-96 with :24 seconds remaining, Drummond coaxed Pacers All-Star big man Roy Hibbert into an offensive foul. Then, on the ensuing possession, Drummond followed a Brandon Jennings’ miss for his 16 point on his…

This is what happens when 6’10 Italian center Tomas Ress tries to jump with Jerome Dyson: Dyson has been on absolute fire the last 5 games in Italian Series A League play averaging a ridiculous 26.2 points, 6.6 assists, 6 rebounds and 2.5 steals for #2 Banco Di Sardegna. Sassari competes in both the Italian…

It’s impossible to repay Kemba Walker for what he gave UConn fans in the Spring of 2011. However, voting him into his first All Star game (a NYC homecoming at that) is a great way to start. Walker is averaging 30+ points in the midst of a 5 game win streak, including 28 points…

Well, here it is folks. The highly anticipated, highly requested Enosch Wolf highlight tape is finally here, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFDlaaOiYw4&feature=youtu.be On a more serious note Wolf is averaging a near double-double (12 points/9 rebounds) for the 7-9 Kirchheim Knights of the German Pro A League. The Pro A League is the second most competitive league in…

It wasn’t pretty, but we won. Most importantly, we won how we need to win big games- clutch free throws, production from role players and the emergence of the X-Factor at just the right time. It would have been easy to throw in the towel after Florida’s last run with 12 minutes remaining. The Huskies, coming…
