1:20:00 Gampel Pavilion is getting $100m in renovations. What do we want to see?

1:28:30 The highlight of the show, Bill Clingan drops in on the night his son gets picked in the Lottery, to tell us all about that experience.

The long-awaited upload of our June 10th space with the joyous news that Dan Hurley will NOT be the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, because Dan Hurley will remain the head coach of the UConn Huskies and there is nothing anyone can do to check our egos anymore.

Meghan Bard co-hosts at the start and Hot Balls joins at the 44-minute mark.

The Los Angeles Lakers are courting Dan Hurley. We discuss.

Meghan Bard co-hosts the first hour. Mister Hot Balls joins around the hour mark. We are sad but defiant.

Connecticut Basketball Spaces, presented by AUTOGRAPH

We discuss Alex Karaban announcing he's coming back to UConn for 2024-25, plus other NBA Draft decisions around college basketball. What's your starting 5?

Then it devolves into chat about the wonders of Saratoga, Hot Balls' college baseball escapades and a lookahead to UConn baseball's NCAA showdown with Duke.

Note: The audio levels are all over the place on this one, apologies; HurleyMania is still learning how to use his new mixer.

We discuss the 2024-25 UConn roster now that it is (mostly) set, Connecticut Sun preseason/UConn WNBA stuff, Kadary Richmond to St. John's, wonder if Seton Hall has any NIL at all, Dan Hurley on RAW and talk NBA Draft as we wait for Alex Karaban's decision.
