I look for Geno to use his bench more liberally this year, allowing his starters to be rested for the 4th quarter. Last year, Nika and Aaliyah played nearly 38-40 minutes a game. That won’t be necessary this year. A player that’s rested going into the final ten minutes of a game can be dangerous.

Yes!! Players want to play. None of them came to sit. :cool:

Ditto!!!

August 28, 2023 Sources: 'Continued momentum' for ACC to add schools A decision on ACC expansion is expected this week, and sources told ESPN that there's "continued momentum" toward the league adding Stanford, Cal, and SMU to the league. After a weekend of conversations, a source told ESPN...

I don't believe this has been posted. I did a search BEFORE posting this, it came back negative. The Huskies' new assistant's return couldn't have come at a better time for the program. When the NCAA allowed women’s basketball teams to hire two additional assistant coaches, UConn went with a...

Those were the "good ol days." UConn WBB was must see basketball back then (and still is). They were all fun to watch every game. I loved watching Gabby control the game from both ends of the floor. Gabby had that unique sprint down the floor she developed from high jumping. She also became a...

It’s not unreasonable to assume that the 2022-23 season was not what Azzi Fudd had in mind. She played like an All-American in her first six games, highlighted by 88 points in three games against AP Top 10 opposition. After a rough 13 minutes against No. 7 Notre Dame, Aaliyah Edwards landed on...

The Huskies went 4-0 in their exhibition games and had a chance to bond and build chemistry as a team on the trip. The UConn women’s basketball team is back in Storrs and have begun the fall semester after returning from its 10-day European tour. The Huskies went 4-0 in their exhibition games...

For UConn fans still wondering how much Arnold will play this year, I think this quote by Geno gives us a clue......“She can push the tempo for us. Watching her play this summer, it was especially noticeable how aggressive she was getting into the lane, and defensively being disruptive. She’s a...

A blink and two winks, and Nov 4 th will be here before we know it. :) Look how fast that European tour came and went.

Judea “Juju” Watkins. The number 1 ranked player in the 2023 class. She is the only Watkins I’m referring to.

I would like to follow Watkins and the USC WBB team, but their games are almost never on TV. Their games are exclusively televised on the PAC 12 Network which is not available on Direct TV. I’ll have to wait until they transition to the B1G. Perhaps then their games will be more accessible on...

As fans, we're playing catch-up. Geno and the staff have already seen her several times in games. They know what she can do. They know exactly how to coach and develop her so that she'll be ready and able to perform the way they want/need her to. They know what they have in KK. There are no...

The GM's would probably agree with you because of the extraordinary numbers she put up during her college career, and her durability during that time. It's well known and understood by everyone that's involved in sports (players/managers/fans) that the BEST ability a player can have is AVAILABILITY.

Few things in WCBB shock me. Watkins going to USC did. No one had any idea which way she was leaning as there was zero news leaked from her camp before her reveal. I had her going to either SC or UCLA. Few players as high profile as she is are staying home. I wonder if she’ll be able to pull...

Does she set a new WNBA record tonight for most points in a game? Current record is 53.

There is a difference between a “tournament” and a “showcase.” In a guaranteed number of games tournament, teams are placed in a bracket. After the first round, who you play next is determined by whether you win or lose. You advance to either the winner’s side of the bracket or the loser's side...

Geno = any team, anywhere, anytime.

What a wonderful tandem they made. Both will be missed, however, now it’s time to turn the page to the next chapter and allow some of the new players to make a name and history for themselves.

It doesn’t matter. Head coach Jeff Walz (Louisville) offered her 2 years ago and probably has the inside track. ;)

With respect to being in a slump, coaches and players know if you’re in a slump, you have to shoot or hit your way out of it. You can’t sit around and wait for it to pass. It doesn’t work that way. How many times have we seen a player start out 0 for their first 5-6 shots, then get dialed in and...

Thanks azfan. A very well-written comprehensive and insightful post from someone close to the team. You mentioned a lot of areas of concern. Things (internal issues) that those of us who are not fans or followers of the team would know. I’m certainly more informed about what’s going on in...

This is a "caption this" thread, so anything goes. We're having some fun with it. Nan started it. If you have a problem with it, contact her.

Yes, it's on there. Here's the link. Go to the "filter by sport" button on the left side of your screen, click on it, then cursor down to Women's Basketball, and click on it. The game will appear in the lineup. Enjoy. https://uconnhuskies.com/watch/?Archive=7117&type=Archive

That's a very good one Moose. LOL. :D Nika should say to her....OK, let me see you "Boogaloo down Broadway" now.

That's exactly why you put ALL of the Division 1 football programs in a separate "fishbowl", and allow all of the other college and university athletic programs to operate on their respective separate budgets. Notice what greed and mismanagement did to the PAC 12, soon the be the PAC 2 (Oregon...

follow up............... The chaos that has enveloped college football, as the saying goes, came on us slowly, and then suddenly. The true starter pistol for all this, though, was the June 2021 Supreme Court ruling—and instantly infamous Brett Kavanaugh concurrence—that essentially called the...

Of course. Geno and CD are OK with it too. ;)

We have some posters with an unbelievable sense of humor. ;) A good laugh ALWAYS helps to break the monotony and ease a little stress. It's one of the main reasons I come here.

BREAKING NEWS...................This just in...KK Arnold has been "officially" named the team's new dancing instructor/choreographer. :D BTW.....the vote was unanimous. What a surprise. :eek:

Good one Rocky. :D

Then the answer to this dilemma is simple. Separate football from all other programs in college sports. Create a stand-alone national college football program. Create 4 national FBS and FCS regions as they do for the NCAA BB tournaments, then divide those regions into 2 to 4 divisions. From...

I completely understand. I was devastated when Boston committed to SC. :confused:

Good one Jonathan...she IS the starting PG...........................in her dreams. :eek: To KK I say......patience grasshopper, your time will come. I'm already on a limb I stepped out on 2 weeks ago proclaiming that KK WILL be the starting PG next year. ;) There's no substitute for...

All I see is two teammates bonding and having a great time in Italy........I wish I was there to enjoy it with them. :)
