    Option at Center

    You mean Jana (with a hard J). We all hope that she'll be great, but she hasn't yet played one minute of D1 women's basketball. I'm guessing that there will be some period of adjustment and training required.

    Freshman Ashlynn Shade peaking at perfect moment

    I hope all this praise doesn't jinx her for the remainder of our tournament run. Because if it does, our tournament run will be over. :eek:

    TV sked 3/20-3/23

    Let's not forget the Auburn - Arizona game on Thursday which will determine the opponent of Syracuse, and should be a competitive and entertaining game.

    The play in game between Auburn and Arizona on Thursday will also be at Gampel.

    UConn not in Albany? Portland bracket here (merged)

    Folks seem to be taking it for granted that we will be playing Syracuse in the second round, but Arizona and Auburn are pretty good teams. Auburn has wins over LSU and Wazzu, and Arizona beat Utah, had a one point loss to Colorado, and had double overtime losses to Oregon State and USC. I...

    Return of the mask

    That mask was made specifically for her. I hope they didn't toss it after she no longer needed it.

    UConn-Providence post game thread

    The more draconian the penalty the less likely the refs are to call it. How many players have been thrown out of a game this season? Any? Probably no more than could be counted on the fingers of one hand. If Paige got tossed for committing an intentional foul it would be catastrophic for the...

    UConn-Providence post game thread

    Two days after not being named BE Freshman of the year, KK has one of her best games. Of course this may just be a coincidence.

    Bracketology 3/4/24

    If UConn were promoted to the last 2 seed, that would probably put us in the same regional with South Carolina. I think I'd rather be a high 3 seed.

    UConn-Villanova postgame

    Her toe was on the line. It was only a two. She was 0 for 4 from 3 tonight. Psychologically it was an important shot though.

    Analysis and Comments - Game 26 - UConn vs Xavier

    Went pretty much as I expected. Ice 24m, Q 23m, Ines 13m, Amari 7m

    Analysis and Comments - Game 26 - UConn vs Xavier

    We've got another game on Friday. That's a fast turnaround. Since our opponent on Wednesday is one of the worst teams in the country, I would expect Geno to rest his starters as much as possible. That means minutes in the 20-25 range for Ice and Q, and even double digit minutes for Ines and...

    Uconn vs Notre Dame Replay

    Thanks, but I won't be watching.

    UConn vs. DePaul post game

    Everyone loves Ashlynn. Me too. But forgive me for pointing out that she took the same number of shots from the field today as did Paige, Aaliyah, and KK combined. She had been making 2 point shots at 76% rate. Over the past two games it's been at a 44% rate. The 76% rate is probably...

    What was the first UConn WBB game that you ever watched?

    I don't remember the game, but it was back in 1994 when CPTV started broadcasting the games.

    A look at some more numbers

    I thought I would take a look at the average points per shot (from the field) for our presently available players. Player . . . . . . 2pt % . . . . . . 3pt % . . . . . . PPS Paige . . . . . . . .56.4 . . . . . . . .47.1 . . . . . . . 1.23 Aaliyah . . . . . . 59.8 . . . . . . . . . 0.0 . . . ...

    OT: Restaurant recs near Gampel

    I've eaten several pregame meals at the cafeteria in the student union, almost across the street from Gampel. Several fast food outlets in the union too. Nothing fancy but serviceable. I should add that its been 5 years since I last ate there, so things may have changed a bit.

    Aaliyah has been a force

    If we had to lose either Paige or Aaliyah for the rest of the season, which would be the more devastating loss? I would have to say Aaliyah since those who would replace her are less ready for prime time than those behind Paige.

    Little/no movement in Dec 18 AP Top 25

    I think that Creighton has played a stronger schedule, and their loss to Marquette was at Marquette. We'll see what happens when they play in Omaha.

    week 5

    A couple of games of possible interest tonight: Rutgers at Princeton 7PM on SNY Texas at Arizona 9PM on PAC-12 Network Alas, the game I'd most like to see, Marquette v. Creighton is only on FLOSPORTS.

    Is It Time to Panic?

    UConn has two challenging games coming up in UNC and Louisville. To me, the UNC game will be very important for the team's confidence. I believe that if they beat UNC they will beat Louisville. If they lose to UNC they will lose to Louisville.

    OT: Anyone here visited Normandy?

    Nan, I stayed at the Churchill Hotel in Bayeux and found it to be quite satisfactory. The Bayeux Tapestry Museum, the Battle of Normandy Museum, the British War Cemetery, and the Cathedral are all an easy walk from the hotel. The invasion beaches and the WW II Museum in Caen are not within...

    Well, It's here...

    I don't know why it wouldn't be.

    We're number 1!

    I think they also play Va Tech at home during the ACC/SEC challenge. So we should see if there is any improvement.

    How to watch Saturday’s exhibition game

    If you live in Connecticut and your cable service carries WWAX, you can watch it there. For Middletown Comcast it's 931 (standard) or 1166 (hi def).

    Heads Up. Iowa v. DePaul

    Caitlin Clark and Iowa will play an exhibition game against DePaul on BIG network at 3PM tomorrow (Sunday). We'll get an early look at DePaul to see how much worse they may be this year.

    I didn't see a boot on Jana. I wish we could have seen her play this year. ( sigh )

    The best and worst schedules in women's college basketball

    No doubt Kim schedules a lot of cupcakes because she feels it is best for her team. But is it good for WCBB? Seems not good to me.

    Former Huskies and their new jobs!

    I went back to watch the 2006 regional semifinal where Barb dueled Natasha Humphrey of Georgia down the stretch and then won the game with a last second three pointer. Classic capper to a great UConn career.

    South Florida Series Announced

    Tickets for the Conn game in Tampa will doubtless be 3 or 4 times the ticket price of USF's other games. The one good thing about playing UCF in Orlando was that they didn't change their ticket prices for UConn.

    Paige partners with US ARMY

    I hope Paige can have some positive effect on recruiting. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Army is significantly behind in their recruiting needs.

    Hungary game, part 2

    I'm happy to have seen our girls having such a great experience that they'll remember forever. Now I will go back into withdrawal, knowing that it will be more than two months before we see the team back on the court for a meaningful game. :(
