Yes UConn!

Shabazz Napier. Ray Allen. Two of the greatest players in UConn men's basketball history. Today we pit the two legends against one another in our second Who Would Win tournament matchup, with Napier's No. 8 seeded 2014 national championship team squaring off against Allen's No. 9 seeded 1995 team.

Who Would Win? That's the million dollar question we'll be looking to answer this summer, as we at Yes UConn dive deep into the greatest UConn men's basketball teams of all time.

What would happen if Kemba Walker's 2011 championship team squared off against one of Ray Allen's mid-1990s juggernauts? How would the 1990 Dream Season team fare against an NBA factory like Rudy Gay's 2006 team? Over the next few months we'll be pitting two great teams against each other, picking a side and debating how the teams would match up against one another. Then, we will turn it over to you, the listeners, to decide which team would win a hypothetical matchup.

A couple of things to consider. We're not debating which team was more successful. "They won the title so they're better" isn't an argument that should fly here. We're not debating importance to the program or whether a team lived up to its potential. We're debating on-court factors and trying to imagine what would actually happen if the two teams met on the floor.

The 16 teams were selected based on their overall success, taking regular season, conference tournament and NCAA tournament resumes into account, as well as factors like KenPom and the level of professional talent on the roster. To determine seeding, Tim and I ranked each team and reached out to some friends of the podcast and to various UConn opinion-havers for their thoughts, and then we seeded the teams 1-16 based on those rankings.

Who will stand tall as the Top Dog when all is said and done? Join us on this journey as we find out, starting with this week's 1 vs. 16 matchup between 1999 and 2021.

The 2020-21 UConn basketball season is officially over. Last week the UConn women's team lost in the national semifinals to Arizona, and with that the Huskies now look ahead to what could potentially be a historic season this coming winter.

Tim Fontenault and I wrap up the women's Final Four and how the Huskies and the sport at large find themselves at a unique crossroads with unbelievable opportunities there for the taking. We also cover Josh Carlton's impending move to Houston, the 10-year anniversary of the 2011 men's national championship and the epic Gonzaga-UCLA national semifinal.

For the 13th straight tournament, UConn women's basketball is going back to the Final Four! The Huskies got the job done on Monday, beating the defending national champion Baylor in one of the most exciting games in the UConn women's program's history.

This game had it all. An outstanding performance by Paige Bueckers. Huge runs from both sides. A nail-biting finish and a dramatic final defensive stop, with a fair bit of controversy on the no call for good measure.

Tim Fontenault and I break down the game, as well as UConn's recent Sweet 16 win over Caitlin Clark's Iowa team, and catch up on the UConn women's postseason as a whole. We also cover a bit of ground with the UConn men, the transfer market and how Jordan Hawkins may be flying under the radar as far as hype goes for next year.

The UConn men's basketball team's season is over. The Huskies were eliminated in the first round by Maryland after posting a historically awful shooting performance, and generally it was a real bummer of a finish to what was otherwise a great season for UConn.

As bad as UConn looked, however, nothing could compare to the massive "L" the NCAA took over its embarrassing handling of the women's tournament. From the inadequate workout facilities to the second-rate branding and everything in between, the NCAA made clear how little it cares about women's basketball, which is both a terrible shame and also tremendously short-sighted.

Tim Fontenault joins the show to get into all of that, from the UConn men's performance, its season as a whole and what the future might hold, to everything related to the women, both UConn's first-round win over High Point and the NCAA situation as a whole.

Hot tip, if anyone from the NCAA happens to be listening, Tim and I have some thoughts.

This Saturday UConn men's basketball will make its long awaited return to the NCAA Tournament, and waiting for the Huskies will be No. 10 seeded Maryland. So what can fans expect out of the Terrapins?

Joining us today is Baltimore Sun reporter Daniel Oyefusi, who is a recent University of Maryland graduate who has covered the Terps for the past two seasons at the Baltimore Sun.

Oyefusi helps break down Maryland's roster, how its season has played out and what UConn fans should expect when the two teams take the court. We also have some predictions, and spoilers, we both expect a low-scoring, defensive slog.

It's been five long years, but the wait is finally over. UConn is back in the NCAA Tournament! The No. 7 seeded Huskies will open their tournament run on Saturday night against No. 10 seeded Maryland, and from there a whole world of possibility awaits.

Tim Fontenault joins the show to break down the East Region, some of UConn's potential tournament matchups, and generally run through the tournament as a whole. We also cover last week's Big East Tournament, toss some big time props to Georgetown for their historic run, and laugh at my expense for bullying Tim into accepting a hot sauce bet and then proceeding to have that bet blow up in my face spectacularly.

Finally! After nine long years, UConn is back where it belongs. This week the Huskies will make their long awaited return to Madison Square Garden as the 2021 Big East Tournament tips off.

Tim Fontenault is here and we've got the entire tournament covered. We break down each of the first round and quarterfinal matchups, offer our thoughts on different potential scenarios and try to figure out what to do with Collin Gillespie-less Villanova. You won't be surprised to hear that we're high on UConn's chances, but you might be surprised to hear who else we think might have a chance to make some noise.

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Kemba Walker led UConn to the 2011 Big East Tournament championship?

Can you believe it's been 10 years since the Huskies won five games in five days in one of the toughest conferences in college basketball history to jumpstart one of the most epic postseason runs we've ever seen?

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Cardiac Kemba, the overtime thriller to beat Syracuse and the epic showdown with Louisville in the final?

It's hard to believe, but it really has been 10 years since one of the greatest weeks in UConn history went down.

Today Matt McDonough returns for this historic 50th episode of Yes UConn, where we look back on the 2011 Big East Tournament, our experience covering it for The Daily Campus and what this tournament run meant (and still means) for UConn. We hope you enjoy this reflection as much as we did ahead of what we hope will be another epic run in the Big East Tournament later this week.

This. Is. March!

Can you believe it? After all of the waiting, the COVID pauses, the injuries and all the other setbacks we've seen throughout this season, we've finally reached the home stretch. This week UConn has a chance to lock up a top three finish in the Big East, and beyond that lies a world of possibility in the Big East Tournament and beyond.

How might things play out? What scenarios should UConn fans be mindful of? Tim Fontenault and I break it all down in this jam packed episode of Yes UConn.
