    UConn stats... 10 reasons Ashlynn may start...(again)

    Regardless of who starts, given Ice's steady improvement this year its likely Ice and Jana will be on the court together a fair amount. Those are two good sized athletes that will likely provide screening opportunities for our shooters. Ash will be extremely well positioned to take advantage of...

    Q is ready for the next steps as a Husky

    IMO, had Audrey stayed healthy we would have been in the NC game and it would have been a really good one. Q 's time to be a major contributor will come but Audrey will eat into what could have been Q's minutes. Audrey brings lock down defense, rebounding at both ends and a near basket...

    What does it mean getting Sarah

    An answer to the question of what does it mean to get Sarah Strong....one could argue we are getting the quintessential UCONN player. Her mother , Allison Feaster may have been one of the classiest players to grace the game of women's college basketball. She continues to give back to the game...

    #2 OSU Going Down

    Happy for Kara Lawson...quite the class act. Should we play Duke expect a very strong team that outplayed us in common ranked opponent games( NC State, SC and Notre Dame) with the exception of Louisville. They also only lost to Stanford by 3.

    This is where College sports are headed and it's not a good thing

    I suspect Dartmouth would eliminate basketball before they paid their basketball players.

    Inside Mühl’s decision to leave UConn WBB - "best year of my life"

    Kaizen gets it....while this has been the best year of her life, she has enriched the lives of thousands of others by being Nika.

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

    can't remember the opponent but while surfing the channel lineup i came across a womens basketball game and noticed a team that was playing the game the right way. Specifically, i watched Carla Berube box out, use her left hand, play velcro defense and always searching for the open man. Have...

    N.C. State up next...are they good?

    One of the best defenses against bigs is to wear them down early by playing up tempo and perhaps pressing. That way they don't have as much opportunity to set up shop in the paint. Our bench is incredibly athletic and we can sustain a game long uptempo if circumstances called for it. No worries.

    We're number 1!

    Another example of a good team beating better talent. Kim is a great coach and will have her team prepared by March. When one sees what can happen when a team plays together ( like Colorado) it really makes me appreciate Nika Muhl that much more.

    Efficiency Predictions

    One of the best things about this site is basketball savvy post such as this original post. However, i will take issue with the "5th starter" projection. Imo, AG is going to have a fantastic year. When she is in the game with PB, NM and the floor will be spread in a way that works very well...

    Aubrey making choices

    My sense is that Aubrey will be the difference maker in getting UCONN the NC. With Nika, PB and Azzi spreading the floor and moving the ball there will be some space for Aubrey to operate. How many NCAA 4 or 5's can stay with her? Not many. She's always been a terrific defender and an extremely...

    Geno Mimicks Z: Priceless

    I don't like debating on this board and respect all those who post but take Kia's best game away and compare averages and CD will be better... I don't like debating on the board with posters because we all have the same goal as fans, however if you want to delete a good CD game then delete a...

    Geno Mimicks Z: Priceless

    the three point shooting % for UCONN best are KLS 47.2, CD 46.2 and Kia at 44.9....all three are among the best in the nation including CD , who IMO will be a very potent offensive force next year

    Mississippi State's Schaefer Named 2018 WBCA National COY

    First IIMO the choice is a good one as he has taken a sleeper program to the Final Four two hers in a row...well done coach. Second....you raise the issue as to wether UCONN would want to play MS for the NC. IMO, they would without reservation want to play them over anyone else. Just an...

    If you were Muffet

    If you are MM its a pick your poison set of tactics she has to deploy. My sense is that ND is most vulnerable to our inside quickness with Z, Gabby and Phee. She will have to take away space from our forwards and that leaves the perimeter a bit more open. Statistically ND's best chance is...

    That was just an outstanding performance

    According to UCONN's website ...Gabby has 997 rebounds.

    Kia Is Beyond Smart , She's Wise

    Dude....academic all=american, leader of one of the great teams of all time.....corporate america would snap her up in a second and give her the training she needs to succeed. Of course if i were corporate Canada I'd make her a better offer. She may not want to be in business but if she...

    Scathing tweet by Geno re: Jamelle's firing from Cinci...

    First of all he is absolutely correct.....but more importantly this is another example of his support for his past players. Thats why the " family" exists and he can continue to recruit into this exceptional program.

    UCONN should be concerned...

    Totally disagree on your stats position...they are incredibly important for successful coaches to understand.....while the eye test can be telling, facts provide the coaches information they need to develop strategy. As to Z...when you say she can't help herself which to me implies...

    Jamelle Elliott out at Cincinnati

    Your point is spot on but there are 7 Huskies in the 1000/1000 club....Lobo, Charles, Dolson, Moore, Stewie , Williams and ,of course, Elliott.....as others have said, she is a classy lady and will land in a good spot.

    UConn VS Duke Analysis, Anyone?

    Interesting stats from last game against Duke....Z had 3 rebounds in 30 minutes. What are the chances that if Geno was coaching her at Duke that she would have had 3 rebounds? Zero , Nada, Nil The three starting guards for Duke shot a combined 1 for 14 scoring 9 points and committing 13 TOs...
