You'll see other books written about @UConnMBB, but I promise none will give a more comprehensive look at the Dan Hurley years, particularly the 2 national title seasons and chase for a 3rd. Was there for it all! Really proud of this one! Pre-order now: https://t.co/lmPwKpA5K7

UConn would love it if Tarris Reed Jr. repeats dominant effort from a year ago at Providence. "He rolled hard, was around the basket, around the paint the way Adama was around the paint for us. We want to get him to position himself that way again." https://t.co/jl7fVMiI84

Reed finished with 24 points, 18 rebounds last March at Providence, where UConn returns on Wednesday night.

Jaylin Stewart on what UConn veterans have told new guys want to expect at the AMP: "They don't like us. We're going to go in there, they're going to be calling us names, fans are going to be saying a lot, doing a lot. We've just got to stay focused and stay together as one."

Silas Demary Jr. on the #SilasDemaryJrChallenge: "It's a good feeling. I'm excited to be a part of it. I'm glad UConn Nation is making it bigger, although it's from me throwing up." "That was a crazy moment that turned into a good cause."

Have we seen the best of Tarris Reed Jr. yet this season? Like the Tarris Reed Jr. we saw at Providence last March? Not yet. Reed, Huskies return to Providence on Wednesday night.

Providence may have turned its season around with dramatic comeback win at St. John’s on Saturday. Friars can really do so against @UConnMBB on Wednesday night at the AMP. How to watch UConn men's basketball at Providence: Time, TV

The Friars are led by two high-scoring transfers and a pair of talented freshmen.

Coen Carr is getting the Andre Jackson Jr. treatment. USC almost disrespectfully daring him to shoot from distance.

There are numerous ways @BIGEASTMBB teams utilize NCAA transfer portal. There’s Marquette’s way. There’s St. John’s way. And there’s the best way, “Nobody does it better than Danny,” said Shaka Smart.

Marquette doesn't use portal at all, while St. John's has inherited a bloated mess that hasn't connected.

Dan Hurley kiddingly (I think) on Silas Demary Jr.: "He's addicted to foul trouble. He likes it. It's sick, I don't know why he likes it. But he likes it. It's a strange thing to like."
