I’ve admired posts from TonyC over time but I’m just not getting how certain posters have grandfathered rights over others who perhaps just joined just months ago? Nothing against TonyC mind you, in fact keep it coming, but just trying to understand the thinking.
Couldn’t agree more with your assessments. Edwards with all that she brings, her footwork and hand-eye needs work but I’m hopeful. Love Evina and what she brings to the team, both on and off the court.
No UConn has ever picked up 3 cheap fouls in under a minute on a kid just returning from surgery.No
Like sunspots man, it just is.
I had many math students who said the same kinda thing - I just encouraged them to go back and check their subtraction.
So you want to sit the BE Defensive Player of the Year and the teams PG. Geno has said for the last year and a half that this team is different when Nika is on the floor and that it's a good thing.
Not one of those fouls was remotely physical.
my understanding is that someone mentioned that Evina lost a long time coach and that had hit her hard. That may explain why some people felt she was not herself. What I noticed was she was not smiling during good times at games when other players were. Last couple of games i saw some really gorgeous smiles on her face, ear to ear. Hope we can say a smile is gorgeous. What a wonderful sight. But I also have say no one on the team seams to have smiles like the ones posted of Dorka during the game. She has a look of sheer glee on her whole face. I hope someone is pointing out to her if she comes back next year she will have a lot more of those smiles, I don't think pros ever have smiles like that during games. For them it is more a business. This may be the most joyful time of her life, until baby Dorka hits 18, goes to UConn and hits some shots with Mommy in the stands. or gets some blocks, steals or rebounds. Just wish foreign players could earn NIL dollars. Seems so unfair.
Geno's JOB is to encourage every player. He says what he needs to say to motivate players. Nika is a valuable player but of the 9 in the rotation, she is the least valuable of that group. She just happens to have a ton of other great players on her team. Everyone wants to encourage Nika but in the NCAA we should play the people who are most likely to help us win. If that means 7 minutes for Paige even, considering her current health, then so be it. It's about the team.
You really don't like Nika do you, not only does the coaches say that Nika is the spark plug, the players say the same thing. You put her down every chance you get and don't believe one word that the coaches and players say about her. Also she was voted by the opposing coaches the Big East Defensive Player of the Year.
I will give you the first one by siegrist was not could not seethe second but Geno looked mad so I will base it on that. Do not want to see anything happen to Paige she is tryin* so hard to work her way back.
Well, I don’t want to see anything to happen to any player, I wouldn’t dream of singling out an individual regarding getting injured. And if you think any of those fouls were with intent to injure, I disagree completely.
Three fouls on one person in under two minutes are unnecessary unless it’s the end of the game and are fouling to shoot.
The last time UConn didn’t have an AA was in 2007 when Charde Houston, Renee Montgomery and Tina Charles were named HM AA by the AP.
What was Villanova's motivation to foul Paige at that point in the game? If they were trying to get her out of the game, those fouls were pretty feeble efforts. By then, it should've been clear they were better off having a sub-par Paige in the game rather than one of her teammates.
Was that the last time they didn't make /F?
If Mora rights the ship with the football program, that could happen.I say this every year. UConn needs to be in a stronger conference.
