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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 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.
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.
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.
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. :(
