    love this paige quote on NIL [merged thread]

    people do speak as in paige's quote ,,, she didn't write it out: if she had i'da credited her as a witty writer, not just a perceptive one. 'twas off the cuff, nitpickers :D

    love this paige quote on NIL [merged thread]

    “It's really not that hard to educate yourself,” Bueckers said. “But it's like people create these narratives in their head and it’s so hard to undo it because then people just follow those narratives and then people who don't know nothing follow other people who don't know nothing and it's just...

    Now look at UConn

    ice, on 2nd review (i rewatched the game), didn't have the game v. syracuse we hoped for, but she was not as dreadful as i first thought. she was much better than in the bulk of the regular season. she reverted some against the orange, particularly when she came anywhere near to touching the...

    Mulkey story coming?

    u don't even know if it's an attack, and if it's negative it does not mean it's a 'hit piece.' and it may never appear, in fact. hold your fire. i wouldn't take her word on this. she's not objective, certainly.

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    yup. she was 'thickheaded.' she admits it's one of her flaws. but lordy, you gotta weigh that against her pluses -- which are many. the idea that geno has to clue her in is ridiculous. she knew that she messed up. pushing off so blatantly was stupid -- but remember that she had to be exhausted...

    Who would u pick?

    how about amari? there is real size for you. we don't know if jana would be better.

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

    obviously it was geno's fault. atrocious coaching. :):D:oops:

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

    liya was getting knocked all around so some of her t.o. ya gotta expect. still, the (2?) travels were not good. it was a rough game compared to her typical performance, but uconn would've lost without her.. ice, OTOH, had me tearing my hair out. terrible mishandling of the ball. unforced for...

    Game Day! Against Syracuse at 6:00 p.m. on ESPN

    anybody else think there's been an increase in foul calls so far in the women's tournament? i haven't watched all the games. :( i hope that uconn-syracuse won't be joining in the trend ... if there is in fact a trend.

    Mulkey story coming?

    her response is more revealing than the wa post has been, which, as far as I know, has not yet published a story nor revealed what it's investigating. think it's very unfair to lambaste the newspaper for something that it has not yet done -- except, apparently, looking into a possible story...

    Geno: ‘I couldn’t see my way out’ (merged)

    interesting story. fans would learn a lot reading it. but it is limited. i wonder if geno himself would buy its overall take. it has some great quotes -- by geno and those around him -- and new (to us) details and revelations. but the writer has incorporated boatloads of conclusions, and they...

    Easiest Path to the Final Four?

    as i recall it, there were huskies who melted under pressure and did stupid things. i am not referring to nika, who some here place the blame for the 2d quarter collapse. she had no competent help, sadly. review the tape and it's easy to see the real culprits.

    Easiest Path to the Final Four?

    what if ohio state doesn't get that far? huskies would have someone else to beat, if they get far. gotta be ready for anything when projecting into the future. we know the first round challenge; what's next? = unknown. but, the possibilities aren't daunting, it seems too me.

    recruiting insights

    there has been buckets of speculation about the recruitment of sarah strong this year, and about many coveted 'gotta gets' (on the BY at least) over many years. there is a lot of interest about this and it incites posts galore, some providing great info, some offering hilarity and a few --...

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    i don't consider scholarships 'charity' at all (this applies to skeets post too) and i can't conceive that paige would consider sacrificing a scholarship an act of charity. rather, it's a sign of her passion for the team and winning. why does that signify a recipient of said scholarship would...

    Shout out to Ice

    so there is hope for amari yet! that would be sweet. she's forgotten here. BTW, does anyone know her status re: concussion? (i wish this craps would stop. ain't 3 years enough?)

    March recruiting thread

    abby hsu of columbia has been mentioned, and the Athletic has a great article about her. it's very well written, long and more of a profile of abby than a basketball piece. i found it fascinating...

    ESPN big dance simulations. Huskies tied for second best championship, behind SC, of course

    it always makes a difference. luck of the draw. uconn will face whatever shows up. so, i think it really 'comes down to' the makeup of the team. will the current crew able to remain intact for the 3 weekends of the tourney. some of that also involves fickle fate (injury, illness) but the team...

    UConn - Georgetown post game - Big East Champions!

    paige is uconn's best player but i don't think she is 'the leader of the pack.' all three stars are leaders in their own ways. the team would be nowhere without nika and liya and while paige definitely leads, it's not a position she aspires to. it is not, thankfully, another burden she has to...

    UConn stats…. G’town just played 3 straight games…

    it's ultra-important that the uconn six -- SIX! just SIX, with ines on emergency duty -- do not get in early trouble. ... preferably no late foul trouble either. if this is accomplished (no easy task), i expect victory!

    UConn-Providence post game thread

    and this was done with the game out of reach and the huskies were trying to milk the clock. but hey, if you're gonna lose, you might as well send a message to those g-d huskies. .... i doubt that all friar players endorse that, btw.

    Wouldn't it be sweeeet ...

    It would be exquisite if the BY could be celebrating NC #12 this April. What an incredible hoot, considering the persistent negativity here and in the media. All those projecting a failure for the Storrs crew definitely have good reason for their comments. I understand. The odds are against...

    Overtime Select

    good for them. gives them some protection. a team vs. individuals. unity gains them at least a smidge of power.

    Who would have thought it

    ya can say that again. the extent of the disses and put-downs she took from many BYers, some of whom persist, was bizarre and it is amazing how she lately has become a favorite of many here. she certainly has earned this status. but i wonder why others failed to grasp earlier her vital...

    UConn stats.... Nika assist record countdown...

    nika likely will be the last husky woman to wear #10. it will be retired after sue becomes a naismith hall of famer soon. looks good on them both. who else has worn #10?
