"I don't understand it. I've sent so many kids to Seton Hall ... a lot of kids have played there who've played for me. But, I don't think I'm being yelled at by historians."

Why New Jersey legend Bob Hurley Sr. doesn’t plan on attending UConn games in Newark anymore.
“You feel like you have to respond,
even though you don't. I'm not very good at ignoring things."

A couple of months ago, Pat Winkel's baseball life was turned upside-down when he was released by the only organization he's known.
Now, he's thriving in a new one. He's back in CT this week playing vs. @GoYardGoats.

At 6-foot-5, Mike Pegues was an undersized "big" at Delaware.
"He developed all the tricks, pivots and moves to the basket," said Luke Murray. "He's got a lot of craft to his game."
He'll now impart that craft to @UConnMBB bigs as Murray's replacement.

Also asked Luke if he ever thought BC would play UConn in at least a preseason exhibition, as they did last year.
"Whatever Coach wants to do," he said. Doesn't sound like it'll happen anytime soon.

Caught up with Luke Murray, who explains why Mike Pegues (a former undersized forward) has been so successful as a big man coach.
Murray should know. He coached alongside Pegues for six seasons at Xavier, Louisville.

UConn to hire Mike Pegues as assistant coach. Comes highly-recommended as big-man coach, and has strong ties to DMV recruiting.

Jesse Hahn took a 90-minute trip down memory lane to see, for the first time in person, the press box and dugout dedicated to his father, Fred, "probably everybody's favorite coach growing up in Groton."

Groton's Jesse Hahn, @UConnBSB 's Pat Gallagher bullpen mates with @BuffaloBisons.
One is chasing his major league dream. One is trying to keep his dream alive.
"If it gets in the way of my family, that's when it's time. So far, it hasn't."
