    The numbers behind Nika Mühl's climb to UConn's all-time assist record

    I couldn`t read the whole article but I assume that the information was derived by someone going through the play by play accounts on the UConn WBB webpage for all of Nika`s games over the last four years. I am glad I was not that someone. No surprise that Aaliyah is number one with 141 (and...

    ANALYSIS and COMMENTS - UConn vs Duke - Sweet Sixteen (Game 3 - NCAA Tournament)

    I would go along with whatever Temery wants because his/her avatar scares me. Uuuuuhhhhh.

    Anyone know when the team heads to Portland?

    In the postgame interview with Bob Joyce, Chris Daley said they will fly out Wednesday but she did not know the time.

    UConn vs. Syracuse post game - on to the sweet 16!

    In the Jackson State game I thought that KK passed up some open three pointers in favor of drives to the hoop that did not accomplish anything. I suspect without knowing that the coaches saw the same thing and encouraged her to take the three point shot when it is open. She was ready to take...

    Who Should Nika's Career Record Setting Assist Go To? Who Do You Think It Actually Will Go To?

    Paige, for her sake! I am stopping to think about what a big deal this is. A major career record at UConn is about to be broken. By a player who fought tooth and nail to be on the court in the first place.

    It’s Syracuse!

    Fair will be a problem. She has a handle that would do a Harlem Globetrotter proud. The classic quick, offensively skilled guard that often gives UConn problems. Have to hold her to around her average (or less) and above all avoid fouling. Arizona had a lot of length and athleticism that could...

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    I was at the game today and it was a great atmosphere, basically a full house. I had the pleasure of walking in from South Garage with Jerry Franklin of Connecticut Public TV fame. He was always on at halftime and other breaks when CPTV carried the games from the mid 1990s until around 2012 or...

    recruiting insights

    I thought there was a pretty good article a few years ago about Azzi Fudd's decision-making process. I especially remember her surprising her parents while in the car when she announced she had decided on UConn. However, I wouldn't expect any recruit to go into detail about why they did not...

    Schools with men’s and women’s teams in the Big Dance

    None closer than from North Carolina to the south and from Michigan to the west. By my count that covers 15 states.

    Jackson State info

    Yeah, sounds about right. Run, run, run, and in the halfcourt set I would run high pick and rolls at them all day, they don't seen to know how to defend that. Paige could go for 40.

    Preparations Are Underway

    Jackson State info

    Regarding height, they have a 6'6" player, Jackson, who starts, plays about 25 minutes, and averages about 10 and 7. Another big, 6'5" Walker, plays about 10 minutes a game averages 3 and 3.5. The third, White, 6'5", tore her ACL in January. It looks like they have a height advantage. They...

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    At least their friends could sit in the front rows at Cameron, that`s one positive. They may actually generate some interest in the portal, even though none of them are double figure scorers. However, Donovan`s 39% free throw percentage might give some suitors pause.

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    Maybe so, I hope we never get the chance to find out. Meanwhile, the three top 30 recruits for Duke from the class of 2023 are wondering why they played in front of more people when they were in high school. Wonder what Lawson told them?

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    I have never been to Cameron Indoor Stadium but it is said to be a fabulous on-campus basketball facility, Cameron Crazies, etc., Dick Vitale baby. It seats 9314. It often sells out. For the men, that is. I looked at the attendance figures for the games on the Duke WCBB website. Looks like...

    2025 Women’s Final Four - Tampa Bay

    I was there in 2019. Amalie is a great arena and Tampa in April makes too much sense. If you go be sure to spend some time in Saint Petersburg!

    Nika Confirms “Last Ride”

    Nika really connected with many of us in a special way. Her early struggles, the tears on the bench, unsure and far from home, she was the underdog we chose to root for. She provided effort, intensity, enthusiasm, personality, joy, spark, and much more. Her game developed, as did her leadership...

    Who would have thought it

    I am a huge Nika fan as well. During that difficult 2020-2021 season when fans could not attend games and players on the sideline had to sit apart from each other with masks on, Nika introduced herself to us. We didn’t quite know what to make of her. She was dealing with a foot injury, it took...

    UConn stats.... Nika assist record countdown...

    She's got this. Assuming they get to the Sweet 16, hardly a stretch, she has at least 7 more games to get 35. She had 13 against Providence the first time around. She may see them twice in a row, since UConn could see them in first round of Big East tournament. First round of the NCAA is also...

    Stephen A and Dan O on UConn bball

    Well he’s not wrong about it being physical. But let me get this straight. He was the UConn QB from 2001-2005, a stretch that included three national titles, the great 2002 team, Taurasi, Bird, Cash, etc. - and this is the first women’s game he ever went to?

    Nika Muhl- A Great Teammate!

    I couldn’t tell what Nika said but I think the last word was an uncomplimentary noun beginning with the letter “b”.:mad: I would not put Nika in a lane position when we are shooting free throws. She has picked up a few violations for getting in the lane too soon, and she hasn’t gotten many...

    Villanova Pregame Availability (merged)

    Both player interviews are great. They are both relaxed, funny, introspective, and articulate. They take their leadership roles very seriously. Great players, great teammates, great role models. Great interviews! In particular I thought Nika’s answers were largely pitch perfect, especially when...

    A day with Caroline...

    The December 19, 2021 game against Louisville is available at tcf’s stuff above. Watch the second half of that game and imagine adding that Caroline to what we already have next year. In a game filled with WNBA and future WNBA players, her star shone most brightly that day. Hoping that she...

    Bracketology - week of Feb 20

    Creme has Colorado ahead of us - by two slots if I understand how these things work - but they have away games at USC and UCLA this weekend. Hard to know who to root for or against from a UConn perspective, lots of road to go, but for those two games I am going with “root root root for the...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation 5

    This is very informative, thanks for posting. My major takeaway is that a high school senior who waits it out until after May 1 can have a fairly clear vision of what the rosters of her teams of interest will look like. Seems relevant to where UConn currently finds itself. The May 1 deadline...

    UConn-Creighton postgame

    It was a good crowd, nice to see a lot of young people at the game. Also the last game at XL this year, UConn goes 7-0 there with some impressive wins, especially Louisville, Marquette and now Creighton. Creighton is a veteran team that is 21-2 against teams other than UConn. They have been...

    Senior Night Ceremony

    Through it all, they have won 111 out of 130 games over the last four seasons. Remarkable in its own right, but amazing given all of the injuries and lack of depth.

    UConn vs. Georgetown post game - Senior Night

    I was at the game and stayed for the ceremonies and player speeches. Glad I did, that was an electric moment. Student section especially, they love Paige and Paige loves them. Good crowd, close to full, and large majority stayed for the ceremonies. At the beginning of the game, they played...

    Analysis and Comments - Game 27 - UConn vs Georgetown (game 2)

    In the Hartford Courant article today by Emily Adams, she quotes Geno as saying that he expects Aubrey to return next season but that the others haven`t said anything to him. Aubrey`s return makes perfect sense. She can rehab at UConn all summer and hopefully be ready to play at least the...

    UConn vs. Xavier post game

    I liked the way that Ice played. She was overall much more active and was getting to rebounds outside of her zone. Her outside shot also looked softer, she has had a tendency to shoot back-rim clanging line drives but it looked good last night. Some nice moves inside as well. I also liked how...
