Both Azzi and Aubrey have had 2 ACL tears. Do we know if the tears were both to the same leg or to different tears? If a surgical repair is done perfectly, is the new ACL more susceptible to another tear, less susceptible, or the same? Is anyone familiar with the medical literature on...
McKenna Hofschild of Colorado State is a 5'2" PG. She's averaging 21.8/4.1/8.4 and shooting .511/.500/.905. Team is 12-2. She leads the nation in assists per game and is one of the best in both 3-point percentage and FT percentage. Her highlights are very entertaining.
Updated shooting stats from the frosh:
KK: 54/40/66.
Ash: 54/37/100.
Q: 48/42/75.
I'd love to see them keep those numbers up for the entire season--and have KK improve her FT shooting, because she will get lots of FTAs.
After last night's game, the team is shooting 51/38/72 on the...
On surgery day. Best wishes to her!!!

Saylor set the Arkansas rebounding record tonight--23 boards--in an upset of ranked Florida State. She had 21 boards in a game earlier this season. She is now averaging 12.6 rpg, which should place her 3rd in the nation, just ahead of Cameron Brink. Saylor's shooting is still so-so...
Charlie lists only 3 teams possibly winning the NC: LSU, UConn, and Iowa. Everyone else's best case is Final Four or less. Our worst case still includes a conference championship.

Maggie Vanoni has an excellent article on Azzi. She spent the summer reading and working on the mental approach to the game. Azzi is maturing and becoming more confident. Azzi is an interesting combination of highly skilled and successful, while being a quiet, thoughtful introvert.
When I...
The 1st team:
Clark
Reese
Brink
Bueckers
Holmes/Kitley (tie)

Geno told Ice that she reminds him of Willis Reed. She said, "Who?" He told her to go watch some old videos.
I can totally see it. A smooth lefty with an outside shot and a strong body.
The Captain:
Phee and Satou make 1st Team. All 3 MVP candidates were unanimous.

The days are getting shorter, the temps are cooling, the students are returning to campus, and the team is flying back from Europe. That can mean only one thing--First Night can't be too far away! I have not seen an official announcement, but First Night is typically in mid-October. That...
I was watching the WNBA games tonight, and one halftime feature was focused on Swin Cash. For those who aren't familiar with her career or haven't heard her great Springfield speech, here it is.
I believe that Caitlin has 2,717 points in 3 seasons. Next year, she could surpass Kelsey Plum's career record. If she takes a Covid extension and plays a 5th year, she could surpass one of the most untouchable records, that of Pete Maravich. Those standards may give her some motivation.
After tonight's game against Creighton, some players upped their averages and some did not.
Aaliyah is now averaging 17.9 ppg and 10.0 rpg, shooting .633/1.000/.745. All American numbers!
Dorka is averaging 13.4 ppg and 11.6 rpg. Averaging a double-double, as she did in the Big 10.
Nika is...
Paige and Azzi distributed Bose headphones to their current teammates recently. Azzi continued the spirit of Christmas by giving to her former alma mater’s team: SC Brand shoes in the school’s colors with the BAF (Be Azzi Fudd) logo. I told you she’s a sweetheart!
Today's (Seton Hall) game included outstanding shooting from the Huskies: 60/52/92. That will win nearly every game.
For the season, we shoot 53/43/77, much better than last season. We are 1st in the nation in FG % and 1st in the nation in 3-point percentage after today's game. And Paige is...
The NLI girls sharing the wealth!

[Autocorrect changed it from plural to possessive. Hate that!]
Despite a tweaked foot, Chica (as she was known at Fairfield) is shooting .490/.532/.938. Her 3-point shooting after tonight would place her 8th in the nation. Lou is a bucket!
We know that Paige and Ice are out for the season. Azzi is out for 3-6 weeks. Dorka is day-to-day. Nika got whacked badly and sat out the rest of the game. Lou has a tweaked ankle/foot. That gives us a roster perhaps as small as 6.
I recall Stewie putting out a call to look for walk-ons...
Boston and Clark are unanimous. Then Jones and Joens. Kitley and Morrow tied for the 5th spot (9 of 30 votes). Azzi got some votes.

For those (like myself) who visit the WCBB almost exclusively, take note of Matthew Wood on the UConn Men's Hockey team. He's 17 years old and already one of the best players in the nation. He will be in the NHL soon and could be a superstar there. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 2 games for...
So, I'm seeing the following on the internet: September 15 is National Cheeseburger Day and September 18 is National Double Cheeseburger Day. Does that sound correct, my friend? Is this a great country or what? :D
It's a real challenge for Phee, but she's making progress, playing with her team, and loving an incredibly cute infant:
