    How will Sarah do as a freshman?

    Jury's out and your answer is not exactly responsive to my post. If your point is that Page's presence assists the development of frosh...Absolutely, I agree. But Juju and Hidalgo did more than shine...they were immediate stars with or without (seemingly without) a mentor figure.

    How will Sarah do as a freshman?

    Juju and Hidalgo did pretty well, the last time I looked...pressure and all

    Ines in the transfer portal

    I've anticipated Ines leaving for some months but of course one is not permitted to so muse on this site. I would have thought that she might have been given more opportunity to "show her stuff" this season, especially after having had some excellent moments in her initial campaign, but it was...

    UConn-USC Postgame Thread (The Huskies back to the Final Four!!!)

    You know 7961 I didn't post much this week because I just couldn't imagine what would happen But in my heart of hearts, I was with you... Logic couldn't sustain a victory. But Basketball is a funny game If you keep it close, anything can happen even transcendental stars get cold feet, make...

    Starters need a breather

    Perhaps the fouls made it necessary to sub And at the end the team had fresh enough legs Hardly (check out the foul shooting) but just enough

    An observation of the Albany game

    LSU looked amazing in the first half when they overcame Iowa's great start...How much of it was the injury to the angelic one, I can't say. But they just didn't have enough gas in the tank And compared to Iowa, they appeared less well-conditioned and wore down. Allowing Clark and co to run them...

    UConn-Duke postgame thread

    Everyone was tired, I saw a real tired shoulder droop from Nika in the 4th... Apologies for being dismissive of the coaching...but I knew when to take Edwards out...the last 2 or 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter...even the announcers expected it. Arnold had a fine game; made some big plays. Ice...

    Now look at UConn

    A team that I characterized as not great, a few weeks ago has certainly morphed through grit, great coaching and Paige into an important contender. There are few, if any, perfect teams out there (S Carolina struggled against Tennessee for goodness sakes). so...anything could happen. But, as...

    Now look at UConn

    I absolutely can't remember whom it was and what were the circumstances, but several years ago, there was a similar situ where one of our younger subs (a guard?) had to fill in as a starter, the result of an injury... And she did just fine...except that when the starter came back, the youngster...

    Yesterday's News? - Think Again

    Wasn't the upset of Baylor by L'ville a final-4 game? This discussion of Clark vs Paige is reminiscent of the tumultuous arguments in 50's NY over who was the better of the 3 wonderful center fielders...all completely different from each other... Ah, those were the days. As the song goes...

    Geno, on Paige

    In the post-game presser Geno spoke about Paige being the best player in the country...he said: Just saying that because the numbers In this world of analytics...(that we live in?) Say that she is And the whole stat sheet says that she is And everyone that watched…knows it. The two are really...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    Behold, I tell you a mystery (Part 3 Handel's Messiah...from somewhere in the Bible). There are several questions under discussion in this thread. Joe raised the following: HOWEVER, given that she hasn't played meaningful minutes all year, you certainly don't put her in an NCAA Tournament game...

    UConn vs. Syracuse post game - on to the sweet 16!

    Some thoughts: -Paige can get herself open around the foul line and score on virtually any play...really a different player then say Clarke. -She was also tough defensively on Fair at the end. -We're going to see plenty of these one-on-one scorers as we advance...Surely it's an...

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    5 minutes into the game I wrote down. Imaginary conversation during first timeout: Geno: Paige if you start out aggressive like that, it makes it easy for the whole team to have confidence, get reasonable shots and make them. Paige: Got it coach Geno noted in the presser that the...

    Shea and Vandy make the tourney

    The curmudgeon in me reappears. Among others, it was hard to root against Columbia, the only group who actually defeated Carla's Ivy juggernaut. Nice team, nice coach...and a reestablished fan base in my ole home town...cool They actually outplayed Vandy for much of the first half and didn't...

    Rebecca Puts UConn In Her Final 4

    That scenario is unlikely Clark has plenty of help from their young center Hannah Stuelke, super-senior guard Gabbie Marshall, Kate Martin, Molly Davis et al. The question would be can our defense disrupt their offense sufficiently without fouling...assuming we score handily on a team that is...

    UConn - Georgetown post game - Big East Champions!

    Thoughts: -the team defense which had been totally impregnable got a little less so when Q first came in and let an opposing player go by her...Q's previous weakness on D...for the rest of the game she played really well, made a tough shot, rebounded well (she seems to have a knack) stole balls...
