Muhl played with an attitude and UConn has missed that. I think Popovic was described somewhere as playing with a little chip on her shoulder. As for her defense, who knows. I'm no judge. But a lot of high school scorers were given easy defensive assignments to save their energy. Bueckers for...

I keep thinking up future UConn "rotation lists" that seem great until I realize I forgot about a couple of players who also need to be on the list. UConn's roster has gotten insanely deep lately.

She fills a box score a lot like another Eastern Euro, Ionescu.

It seems that those 4 SEC teams and maybe Tenn will be beating each other from now through the SEC tournament. Okl was about dead in the water 10 days ago and now they are back in the discussion. I don't see any clear leader in the SEC and it will go to the team that gets hot at the right time.

Good point. AI? Yeah, Artificial Ignorance. I'm reminded of the 1930's Frankenstein movies. The monster didn't even learn to talk until the sequel.

With the portal now an annual option Geno's retirement is less of a factor to a recruit's decision.

Wait till fans try to book rooms in Ft Worth and find out it's the same week as the Texas State High School Rodeo Tournament. 💥

Geno wants her more aggressive so maybe she's channeling Brando?

If she was focused on the title and the glory of winning for 4 years she wouldn't have 4 rings. Focus. Yes. But on the work, not the trophy.

A team that is thinking about an undefeated season in Oct, is not focused on the present and to go undefeated a team needs focus. Any golfer will attest that a great front nine that has you dreaming of the course record often leads to tears in the lounge after 18.
