That all said, there is only one team in the Big East that gets punched in the mouth by UCONN, doesn’t shrink, and punches back- and that is the Jays. I believe CU is UCONN’s Kryptonite.. John Fanta has stated this as well..

UConn beat Marquette in the battle of top 10 teams. That was UConn’s first road win vs a ranked team since 2014, which is crazy because they have won 2 national titles in that time.

Obviously the weather was great today but the park was absolutely packed. We spent at least 3 hrs down there and it’s so great to see so many different people down there. All 3 parks had tons of people, easily a few thousand overall, but it never felt crowded except for the playground near the river.

Obviously no way to know, but I wonder what his numbers would have been if he played all 4/5 seasons at Creighton. My guess, with the system that Mac has, Baylor probably wouldn't have played much his freshman year, although he only played 20 min/game at SDSU and averaged only 6 ppg.
