Turn the trip into a reality show. The players and the school get paid.

Being the go-to scorer is more suited to Fudd, a shoot first player, than Bueckers, a pass 1st player. They both can do both things but their natures are different.

It isn't persecution. It's the double standard. Sports coverage has always been unbalanced since most of the writers worked for newspapers that covered local teams. So everyone in every city got a glowing forecast of the upcoming season and no one cared because only fans read those stories. When...

They have a dozen players. Take a look at Nos 20 - 25. Not many AA's on those rosters either.

I thought USC looked like a top 10 team without Watkins in the E8. They lost players but I'd be shocked if they slid out of the top 25.

From the article: Maybe I'm being a little petty but between 2013 and 2016 Geno won consecutive titles three times, not four. If the word "consecutive" was left out it would have been fine. Sloppy, but more and more that's what has become of "journalism".

Voepel can't write about UConn without throwing some shade. "What could go wrong" is the usual theme every year. This year it's Geno retiring. What problems does SCar have to overcome? Nothing. Notice that there is no doubt about Watkins' return to 100%. When it was Fudd or Bueckers their...

Besides missing parts or all of 3 seasons of games Fudd's work on her game has been intermittent since she arrived. She was only cleared to play 8 or 9 months ago. This may be her first healthy spring/summer in years. Reality is likely to collapse at some point this season since it's...

You are right, Bueckers had much better efficiency and I'm unsure of whether Clark was even her main competition. Who won the only POY that was closed to freshmen? Whenever the media compares two stars the first thing they look at is scoring. In 2021 Bueckers was high up in a lot of national...

Strong never entered the national discussion until after the 1st SCar game. Early in the season she deferred a lot and once the conference games started her outstanding play was largely pooh-pooed outside of CT as being against weak competition. Then she had 6 defensive boards in the 1st period...

Okl. wins the SEC title.

How did the Sparks get Parker? Tanking is common in pro football too. CT has always lost in what is called the "lottery".

I'll be looking to see how aggressive everyone gets. With reduced minutes they can't fart around for a period. This could result in 40 min of stifling defense as everyone presses everyone. I think the coaches will experiment with 5 in 5 out with the practice players, and managers tracking...

The audio feed on "Varsity Network" allows pausing and if it's ahead of the video I use that. I keep the TV remote and my phone handy and usually have to pause one or the other for 5-10 seconds a couple of times a game. Foxsports made that difficult by not allowing me to pause their streaming...

Bob Joyce's radio call is by far the best UConn game commentary, unless you want to know all about the hobbies of the players or where their parents went to college. When TV started filling every timeout with ads the only time left for "game color" was while the game is going on and now there is...
