    2004… 2014… 2024?

    Ya just never know and why not ? But remember that ‘04 and ‘14 were healthy and intact. ‘24 is barely healthy and barely intact. Diana was truly singular. Paige wants it. 2014 was one of Geno’s complete editions…38-0. If a miracle is deserved, and 2024 is 12, it would be so terrific that this...

    2004… 2014… 2024?

    But really…which of these idiots would we want in our team ?

    Shea and Vandy make the tourney

    Lou and Kyla clinch it ….Shea stepping forward is what we’ve known would happen…like, for over 20 years ! The younger 33 and Kyla and Tournament Shea know the Dance. Go Commodores, yes UConn.

    Aaliyah update

    Spot on. Money makes protocols and the tens of millions of Americans who’ve survived broken noses are gearing up for a class action as we speak. Including my brother…who I accidentally whacked in the nose with my 35oz Louisville Slugger. With each passing day the explanations keep coming back to...

    Shea and Vandy, redux

    Success for our #33 isn’t surprising…nor our collective pride and pleasure. During off-season I love watching practically any game from 2000 and ‘01 through Bird At the Buzzer. As ever, thanks MJ. For young fans MJ’s UConnHuskyGames site may be a real way to time travel…when Tournament Shea was...

    We say thank you.

    Fell for the kid with knee pads when we heard she told LVs to get off our side the court ⛹‍♀️

    Guess I picked the wrong day to watch South Point. Thank goodness UConn wbb merits better.

    The Official FloHoops Thread (All others merged here)

    Great question. $30 is $30. Rather wait for Huskygames if that seems likely. So grateful to MJ.

    How long before Princeton plays Connecticut ?

    UConn-Maryland postgame presser

    Spot on…but it’s November, Brenda never quits, and this season promises to be a roller coaster for front-rank WCBB teams. Enjoy your season.

    UConn vs. Maryland Replay

    Ditto from old Husky far from home. Yesterday’s 2nd quarter was vintage UConn and MJ has made it “savorable” indefinitely. Means a lot. My phone lit up like Paige during the end of that quarter…85 year old friend from Kentucky, a lifelong pal from Florida, and my brother in Connecticut. Plus a...

    The cost of getting UConn tickets

    For the past two seasons I’ve sat courtside for $10 at Creighton when UConn women played. For the women’s game in 2024 ? $229. P.S.- UConn men at KU Jayhawks on 12/1 ? Upstairs at $333 each.

    Exhibition game - Link to brief article and to UCONN+

    After a lifetime as a Husky it appears I’m done. Banished from NE, I’ve managed to watch in Kansas City via a combo of apps, cable, ipad, and phone for 9 years. Health and budget mean no longer on full cable. My efforts to construct a “network” have overwhelmed me. This isn’t a plea for...

    Secret scrimmage on Saturday

    Just thank you. Thank you to those who thrilled at the sight of another downtown jumper from the Poughkesie Popper. You saw him playing and can’t forget the three seasons when he rewrote all the records. Later his college coach, Fred Schabel, said that half Bialosuknia’s baskets were beyond the...

    Sad news about Georgetown's Tasha Butts

    A cause, a need, often ignored. As a stage 4, post-chemo fellow, the “learning curve” has been surprising…and hard. Depression and financial realities compound the ordeal. And most cancer folks seem to agree that this is the norm. If you don’t have resources get ready to be ground away at. If...

    OT: Ralph speaks on emotional return for Vandy's Cambridge

    Tournament Shea moving ahead toward the arrival of Vanderbilt in the front ranks. No surprise. Recently re-watched a championship season. 2000. That’s all the young pups need to ever see…the year Shea Ralph owned WCBB. Our Husky.

    Tickets for away games

    Don’t give up on the old-fashioned method….straight up call to host school ticket office. I too now live in non-Husky land and have smoothly gotten excellent and affordable seats. NC State‘s language (“single game ….may not be an option “) shows where the money cesspool continues to lead. Argh.

    Legends

    Wise. What is the def of “legend” anyway ? Wise to just toss a pebble into our lake.

    Help appreciated

    Lifelong Husky enduring the vicissitudes of life had to cut cable…still have internet, an iPad, an AppleTV device, and small discretionary budget. Through last season my cocktail of devices worked flawlessly. But now I fear access is problematic. Had been getting SNY games via FoxNow app. CBSSN...

    Short memories on the BY and short lineups on the floor

    Here’s the thing…Geno has fielded more than a few teams that have been considered “undersized” compared to many of the best teams. Record speaks for itself. And here’s the other thing : for most of 39 years UConn has played the game differently than most teams. “Bigs” are expected to hit...

    Short memories on the BY and short lineups on the floor

    The 2010 team‘s tallest starter was 5” shorter than was Baylor’s 6’9” center. Jamelle is 5’11. Look out for the Griffin and Edwards Show.

    Short memories on the BY and short lineups on the floor

    The “Greatest Team of All Time” didn’t have a starter taller than 6’2”.

    Paige video

    The easy, “automatic” between the legs, as part of the shot, is too cool for school. Not since Moriah ?

    Jana - In Madrid - FIBA Games

    If “on the line” is akin to a buzzer-beater for the win, Brianna almost certainly never hit one at UConn. On the other hand, if “on the line” references anything from March, then Stewie ranks with the greats.

    if you hear 'uconn is my dream school'

    At age 6, at a family picnic in Watertown, I found a weathered utility pole with Nana’s clothesline attached…and a dangling rusty rim nailed at least a million feet in the air. Rummaging in the cellar I found a nearly smooth, 25% inflated basketball. It took all afternoon to finally make a...

    Poll: Do you listen to podcasts about the UConn women?

    Actually I wander about each day muttering about our team…past, present, and future. Hmm…maybe I’m a podcast in my own mind !

    In the Day

    Watching the 2010 game at Syracuse. Camera shot of Geno and the necktie to be given to a lucky fan after the game. Not sure when the jacket and tie left the sidelines. Fellow boomers know the routine from our work careers. Anybody ever miss it ? Second question : is the Tina-Maya dynasty...
