    Step back jump shots are illegal?

    What about Olivia's fadeaway? Has anyone paid attention to her footwork when she pulls back? Off-topic, but I would prefer if she developed a skyhook in preference to her current fade.

    Banners?

    Like the Yankees with 27, I think we W Huskies fans can have a wry smile about these things. Sorry for the sloppy grammar, but you get the gist.

    DePaul Postgame Thread

    I haven't copped liver in a long time! For some dopey reason, reminds me of a song my dad would sing when we were making excuses, "he didn't STEAL the pork chops, they only STUCK to his thumb". Emphasis added to hint at the tune...

    To Mask Or Not To Mask

    I've written this before, Geno should wear his mask in huddles and when talking with players. Shea, CD and JJ do a better job of this than he.

    RIP Legendary Boston Celtics player, coach K.C. Jones dies at 88

    I am naturally a Knick fan - though I have switched my basketball devotion to our girls. So I have to admit to having rooted agains the Celtics since 1967 when I started watching bball on tv. So I realize this is going to hurt all of you who are shamrock fans... I got to play golf with KC...

    UConn stats.... Liv now 10th all-time in blocks...

    Probably going to be impacted by number of games this year, and don't forget the shortened season last year.

    Villanova Postgame Thread

    I think that we can play big teams when we have AE on the floor too.

    Villanova Postgame Thread

    I used to say, "I remembered everything till I was 50, never needed to take a note. Then forgot 50 to 60. Since 60...... wait a minute what was I talking about?"

    So sorry to hear about your granddaughter.

    Going to Fordham, I hope you got to enjoy White Castle and Arthur Avenue!

    the D Train

    The kitchen sink was reserved for graduations or other one-time events for us! Luckily my junior high school graduation was held at the theater next door (RKO?) and got to split a kitchen sink with a bunch of my friends!

    the D Train

    Well, I took up where you left off, for a while at least. I was born in Bronx Hospital in 1954 and moved to Manhattan in 1978. My brother was born in '39 so you, he, and I seem to have enjoyed similar experiences riding the D train. Krums was the greatest treat for a malted or homemade ice...

    Can't object to that with the picture/avatar I have!

    the D Train

    Because the more famous A Train is also on the IND, but the D Train is from my native Borough!

    the D Train

    As a Bronxite, I am referencing the Express that stops for no-one with my new nickname for Aaliyah. Nothing can stop her roll to the basket! Amazing.

    Should Geno keep his mask on more ?

    He should be wearing it the whole time, particularly when he's yelling, and when close talking with the players. I'm Geno's age and I'm a bit surprised he's not being more careful for his own sake too.

    Anna: the stats don't lie

    Anna: the stats don't lie

    The eye test doesn't lie either, she plays an intelligent game and makes it fun too.

    Wondering if the BY can help me understand some defensive X's and O's

    I think Mir got out there on her man a few times in the second half. I admit this was my first time watching any of these new players and I "needed the scorecard to tell the players"!

    Wow

    I could go for a steak!

    UConn stats...in defense of Anna & Carnac...

    I think she played so well, they might have forgotten she was a freshman!

    Anna Anyone?

    I don't think I've ever been negative about Anna, I think she is the greatest! I wrote the above in response to a fairly negative piece and was trying to temper my response so as not to be nasty. But the gist of my point remains that Anna accomplished a lot on the court her freshman year...

    Anna Anyone?

    She was a freshman adjusting to life, school and basketball in a new language and country, and she made some of the UCONN highlight reel plays of all time!

    The Queen's Gambit - Netflix

    I am pretty sure they said this would be the only season. As a rule, with many exceptions, my wife and I forego second seasons - even of great series. We've termed our rule "the 48 rule" based on loving the original "24" and being so disappointed in the next season.

    The Queen's Gambit - Netflix

    I've played chess for over 60 years (probably played better 10 or 15years ago) but still enjoy the game. For several years I've played online at LiChess where you get to play live games with players from around the world. The site is well run and includes very good instruction and tutorials if...

    Covid stops UCONN Men(women to continue practice)

    The UCONN geography department hosts an excellent webpage on the virus, updated daily and shown by town. Their overall virus progress graph shows that CT is indeed in a very steep increase and has been for a month:
