    2026 Recruiting: Olivia Vukosa

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

    Sarah Strong article from Mike Anthony

    Perfect. With three starters playing in their first UConn games, November and December didn't discourage those fans who saw the immense level of talent and the hard work. The level they reached exceeded my expectations. I would say that the 2025 team put on a show for the ages in the...

    AI fun - I hope she is careful

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

    The Big Big East Blog UConn Preview

    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.

    The Big Big East Blog UConn Preview

    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.

    UConn stats.... Are Geno's subs going to be better than his starters?

    Your 1st sentence says it all. She was a first year player coming off an achilles tear. She deserves a degree of patience. Her work in the FF is the important thing to focus on. Betts couldn't move Jana. Height is not what separates centers and power forwards. It's size/strength. There's a...

    Massey Ratings

    Massey over-weights the last 10 games. Past season games remain in the database but to a much lesser degree. I studied Massey's explanation of their algorithm years ago. As the season goes on the data base of results grows and it's reliability increases.

    Massey Ratings

    Everything you say is true. In spite of that, once Jan 1 comes around, Massey has been especially good at predicting final scores and MOV's, despite injuries and fouls.

    Massey Ratings

    You may be right about the seed but not because of metrics. UConn was No 1 in NET rating from January on. NET measures the quality of wins AND losses and it is the NCAA's primary metric measurement. Up until last season every NET No 1 team has been a 1 seed. Last season the NCAA chose to seed...

    Massey Ratings

    The committee made it plain last season that in seeding the top 16 teams the key stat would be Tier 1 record. They use the entire season, not how a team is playing in February. As long as this is the system then UConn will never be a lock for a one seed unless they go undefeated. And UConn...

    2026 Recruiting: Olivia Vukosa

    Hank South works for 247 Sports and from his posts he covers the SEC and Texas specifically. His daughters went to Texas. I thought Vukosa's father gave a great answer. Most recruits and their families are polite to their hosts, who treat them like honored guests. She wants a title? How's 2...
