Wasn't Nykesha Sales an All American and didn't she attend a CT High School?

1995. It is odd how this whole thing exploded into the consciousness of so many of us in 1995. It is a little embarrassing now, that, looking back, I guess I was not really aware that UConn had a Women's basketball program, even though so many of my family members had gone there. Now, I...

I am hoping to 10 or 15 years too. The historical precedent (like after Wooden at UCLA or after Summit at Tennessee) is not good for continued dominance. Maybe Shea or someone can replicate the record that Geno has created. The fact that no one has ever done what Geno has done, does not bode...

The early season will have some losses. The tournament is kind of stacked in UConn's favor. They can play "home" games until they get to the FF. Then, anything is possible. I would be content with another FF. But something tells me that there may be more than that waiting for them at the...

I cannot guess what Geno meant when he said "We live in that Trumpian era where it’s okay to be sexist and degrade people that are good, just because they’re the opposite sex. " Who was degrading anyone?

Lobo.

Wasn't there a proposal to have the Women's Final Four at the same location/venue as the Men's, but to play the following day. That way all the national sports media (newspaper, electronic, radio, TV) would already be there, and, on the in between days from the Men's dates, they would have the...

The fact that it is such an easy call that 2000 was the better team, is a testament to what DT, the coaching staff, et al, did in 2003. There really was no way they should have won that NC, and yet they did. That one was really cool. Sometimes the race does not go to the swift...

Back in the day, reports were that, when asked which he preferred: artificial turf or natural grass, he answered: "I don't know, I've never smoked artificial turf".

Fun question. Tough call. I went with 1995, as I thought (and continue to think) that 2013 was unlikely to win the NC if Baylor had not been upset by Louisville in the Sweet 16. 1995 had the magic touch. They were not going to lose. They had "it", as have several UConn teams since.

Among the reasons 4 in a row is so difficult is because in order to do something like that, a little luck is needed here and there. No serious injuries (Morgan's knees notwithstanding), and some timely loses by opponents. Stuff like that. Stewart's freshman year was dominated by Britany...

Geno, not Gino. Wow, my spelling is NOT improving with age.

Ah yes, I have thought that if EDD had been with UConn, there really was no telling how many NCs there would have been or how long the winning streak would have gone on, the "Brittany Griner" era notwithstanding. That said, it seemed to me that Gino was at his best when he outright released...

Plebe has this thing exactly right. We are all privileged to be aboard the train that is UConn WBB right now. When this is over in 5 or 10 years, we are going to look back on this and say "wow". Until then, ROCK AND ROLL.

This year's team is going to be good, maybe good enough to get to the Final Four (and then, that is Geno's playground; a NC is always in the air once a team makes the FF). Then, the 2017-2018 team only loses Chong from this year's team. The 2017-18 team looks to be an odds on favorite to take...

This next year is going to be a lot of fun because of all the unknowns and the uncertainty of how it all ends (unlike this year and last and the year before that when we all kind of had an idea of how it would end). I know its stupid early, but next year, the team only loses Chong. The...

Does anyone recall what was Kelly Faris ranked coming out of high school?

I guess I am surprised that the primary respondent description would be a man in his 50s or 60s. Which also happens to describe me. My daughter went to UConn, but that question did not come up on the poll.

From my point of view, these are "start of season" guestimates. I figure UConn starts at 7 or 8 and then loses a game or two during the season to one of the better programs (Notre Dame, So. Carolina, whichever) then ends the season at 3 or 4, gets a #1 seed and gets to the FF. Seeing what...

UConn will probably start out next year ranked 7 or 8. It will lose a game or 2 (probably to Notre Dame, Baylor, Maryland or some such), but by the end of the season, they will probably be in the top 4, and a #1 seed. As we saw this year, the NCAA tournament for the Women is getting like the...
