    Who Started Midnight Madness?

    Len Bias.... so very, very sad. a tragedy. (Boston never recovered, but that's the least of it.) thanks for this great article.

    C. Collier on rejecting Geno

    right. we say that every year, and y0u get the prize for saying it first this time, Rocky. And, someday it will be true!

    McDonalds AA game

    Funny. I thought the very opposite. I thought the (completely unjustified) knock on her in high school was that she wasn't a great shot. And at UConn Meg never hesitated to shoot: rather, occasionally she took an ill-advised shot, earning her more bench time. But we do agree on her sophomore...

    Geno on Last Year's Loss: 'It was time'

    This is silly: Well, one, I’ve always known this, and it’s common sense. The more you keep winning, the closer you’re getting to your next loss, because you can’t win forever. Right: you can't win forever, but you have no idea how long it is until the next loss. It could be the game before...

    McDonalds AA game

    Great description, Jordy (and Nan). Right, she'll need body work, like all high school kids. But she comes already really, really strong. That's a huge advantage, given all that happens in your freshman year at UConn.

    McDonalds AA game

    Just catching up with everyone as I watch this on my DVR (wife had to watch tennis!). Wow. Discounting for the nature of the game, still, CW is really, really stunning. I mean jaw-droppingly stunning. And ONO is terrific too. Could CW become the fourth on Mt Rushmore, after D, Maya, and Stewie...

    AP Coach of the Year

    Muffet did an incredible job, but I'd vote for Vic Schaefer. He broke entirely new ground with that team and school.

    sorry that you're the last to know, Jordy (the guy is always....oh, never mind!). There's even a photograph of her with her baby bump on another thread.

    Do recruits read the BY? Possibly...

    Bravo, CL82! I was writing an admittedly furious response to this thread about how some folks have absolutely no mercy or common sense toward 18 year olds. But you've said it a lot better (and more reasonably). So, allow me to reframe that with the following mental exercise, a sort of Golden...

    C. Collier on rejecting Geno

    My very strong sense (and it is only a sense) is that a lot of other schools really go on the charm offensive. It's not hard to do when you've got the resources and experience already developed for big time recruiting (and UConn does have that in MCBB). But my sense is that the UConn staff...

    C. Collier on rejecting Geno

    She's a high school senior who is being interviewed by adults. She's doing her best. After the death of her father, she needed to stay close to home and made the right decision. When I look at how TX underperforms, I'm sorry for her basketball play the next 4 years, but she made the right...

    Good job Courant on pep rally photo---NOT

    I do take your point. But it's probably some unpaid intern that made the quick identification. It's an identification buried 6 photographs into it, and only crazy people like you and me will click on all these and even care about it. :) In a couple of years, there won't be newspapers to...

    Ezi Magbegor signs w/ WNBL club for three years

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned is money. We have no idea of the financial condition of Ezi's family. Going to UConn for 4 years means losing 4 years of earning and actually--despite the "full ride"--probably involves some costs. While now, she can be earning money for her and her family...

    What about the Mojo?

    That is so wrong! I don't expect much from a public university that is always trying to generate support, but Notre Dame is the moral center of the universe! Don't the good Fathers of the Holy Cross teach humility? What happened to Vita Dulcedo Spe. That ain't Spe, that's Superbia! :-)

    What are the point spreads or odds on Friday's Games?

    I don't seem to find Vegas points on these games, but I didn't look very hard. But maybe there's so little betting action because: it's a women's sport/ there is the men's that is drawing so much attention/ people can't get out of path dependency: because UConn has won so often it will certainly...

    What about the Mojo?

    Wow. that is so not like UConn. Great bulletin board material for ND. Sort of like how the Patriots copyrighted 19-0 before they played the Giants in the Superbowl.

    Megan Walker dunking ... well trying

    Geno was encouraging of Stewie to dunk in the game. Geno likes anything that attracts attention to the game. I really like this video: thanks! It shows Meg at her best: explosive and aggressive. That's what she's shown in flashes this year, and I'm completely confident that she will put it all...

    Reported Elsewhere? Best Basketball In The World

    I certainly agree that UConn women play the best basketball in the world. But I'm really blown away by the overall quality of basketball played by all of the final four women's team. In terms of hard-nosed, disciplined basketball, this is certainly the highest quality final four that I can...

    Some Candids from Albany

    awesome! thanks. I have the original X100 but didn't think security would appreciate the difference between a regular camera and a fixed lens one. BTW, Leica is now digital. You can buy the M10 & a decent (though not their top) lens for under just under $10,000!

    Ezi Magbegor signs w/ WNBL club for three years

    Deeply disappointing for UConn and its fans, but hoping it's exactly the right decision for Ezi. College and college ball isn't the only avenue to a happy life. She'd have been going a long way from home, and there were certainly enough comments in the previous threads that explored the...

    Gabby "Super Fly" Williams

    fantastic selection! What an astonishing athlete. Thanks so very much for putting these together, SVCB a shot that never gets taken of Gabby, and my fav, is her dribbling erect across midcourt, shoulders squared and with that great macho strut, just gliding effortlessly, while looking in both...

    great shots. how did you get a long lens into the arena, or shouldn't I ask? I think the one of Lou taking a charge might inspire a ND fan to ask how we could accuse their players of flopping.... :-)

    Have to post this for David - he is obsessive about numbers!

    That she has made 46% of her 3s is surprising to me. I realize that she was on fire early and had a fabulous game last night, but from January on, she was missing a lot--I guess not as much as I thought. For what is effectively UConn's 5th option, that's really impressive.

    Gabby's jumper was Maya'esque

    If Gabby makes her jumpers, if Crystal makes her 3s, if Z plays her best game, etc. UConn is unbeatable. Each one of these individual conditions--and many others (if Kia shoots like she did earlier in the year, if Pheesa plays like she did last year, if Meg plays like she did against Notre...
