Obviously, we focus almost entirely on UConn men's basketball on this blog. But there are other college basketball stories in this state that fly a bit too much under the radar thanks to all the interest the Huskies generate.

One is T.J. Robinson, the West Haven resident and Bridgeport native who just completed a terrific, four-year career at Long Beach State. You may know the 49ers simply as that team that plays a ridiculously tough schedule and beat Pitt at Pitt this year, but give Robinson's story a read. His mother passed away of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) four years ago, just before he was set to head out to Long Beach to begin summer courses for his freshman year. He'll graduate this summer in memory of his mom, and he maintains an extremely close relationship with his dad, who traveled as much as he could to see his son play (never against UConn, unfortunately. Both schools tried, but could never find a matching date).

And here's a piece on Hamden's Tobin Carberry, who just completed a strong junior season at C.W. Post University.
