Woke up this morning to learn of Aaliyah and Nika. Very happy for both of them. On to the next challenge: roster spots. Darko had to have been dancing around the living room.

Somewhere out there a Tennessee fan is screaming: "The fix is in."

I'm spoiled. I want everyone one the floor to be an offensive threat.

@donalddoowop I thought I said that? Actually she had problems on both sides of the ball.

People have short memories. Patterson was struggling before she was sidelined.

Not from where I am sitting. From a press orientation I get it, but it is pretty shallow.

Beers or Iriafen. Beers pref.

This song was written for a 1955 movie titled Unchained and the original was part of the movie. Three artists recorded the song in 1955 and they all hit the Top10. Four artists recorded it in 1956 and each was in the top 20. The definitive recording was made in 1965 by Bobby Hatfield of the...

Who knows who was the original on this, but this metal singer sang this classic in a way that it needed to be sung:

Yeah, but she is so darn likeable. :rolleyes:

A couple of us put a fair amount of Jana video on the Boneyard last year, but the reaction was pretty ho hum. Don't know why. Maybe an Amari hangover?

I can only get myself in trouble here ... and that is so tempting.

There is no disputing Tara's coaching prowess. She has always been something of an enigma to me because she is second only to the Celtic's "the Chief" in being stone faced. Winning or losing she'd sit on that bench with no visible emotion.

Highest point differential in the tournament ever. A very balanced highly skilled team.

She pretty much wears that all the time I think. 5-6 years ago Nika, Hana and parents were posing on a basketball court, Nika had a trophy, and Hana had that look.

Oh I'd be happy for Amari. But I'd be puzzled at why it didn't come out at UConn and did it suggest there was something missing in player developement, which sounds preposterous. Leaving me thinking "how am I going to think about that?" Sometimes I have too much time on my hands.

Couple more thoughts. Does Amari have 2 more years? I ask because I think she may have trouble having the portal work for her and 1 versus 2 makes a difference. Then I had this thought today. If Amari goes to another program and has success, how am I going to think about that?

Saylor had a terrific first year for the Razorbacks and was 10 points 11 rebounds in her second year, but she's back in the portal.

Viewed as the most complex in the men's game. Working better than the other guys tonight.

Just a little lower.

Might I add that we do not need a point guard or any guard for that matter.

Makes perfect sense for her of course. She showed us grit and promise in her time on court two seasons ago. I was surprised by her lack of time this year. Despite the splinters she was a loyal team mate and I wish her a landing with a good team and a big role with them.

Wish this sweet young lady good fortune. This is nothing but good news for the Huskies.

I listened to what Sarah had to say yesterday and she said she's not in Div. I shape. She's got 7 months to get or she'll be doing that in her playing season. I suspect UConn will be helping her right away with that. She has a lot of skills and she will do fine.

Geno said something in his news conference that went by me. He said something something about the media and other programs that bears repeating.

The real title: The New Jerusalem. Inspirational

I did not follow this young lady at all. That's how pessimistic I was. So you have to forgive me for finding things I just have to share. This short shows a lot, but the best to me is great hands.

She does pay attention. Asked about things that lead to UConn, she responded a winning tradition and it sends people to the WNBA and that's what I want.

Some nice looks at her game with Dawn Staley and Geno in attendance. Her league championship.

Okay, it dawned on me that we could use this here:

Just one other thought. Her teammates reaction was powerful and loud. Seems UConn still carries weight with the kids.

I don't know how I feel about "Go to UConn" being on her wall for quite some time. I've been fatalistic about her recruitment for quite a while. I think of it as "the Boston Effect". Hopefully that will fade away! I love how she appreciated that UConn coaches kept things real in their...

The game drove this announcement right out of my head. This is certainly salve for the wound. The lead up had made me feel that this announcement was going to be a styling affair. I was so pleased that it wasn't. In the days when it is the heathens who swarm I was pleased that she thanked...

They carried this around all season and still performed with great grit and determination. UConn is the only program in the NCAA who mark this off as anything but a spectacular year. Paige lets us in on the pain in the season.

A lot of attention has been aid to the notion of game fixing through ref calls in the NFL and the NBA. Unfortunately there is a big bucks incentive for the NCAA and contracted media to have Clark continue on.
