I watch every game expecting UConn to win. If they lose I'm disappointed but it's not the end of the world. If the other team outplays them, kudos to the other team. If UConn lost because they didn't play "their" game, then it cheeses me off. I was an avid Red Sox fan (till they traded...

Your post just made me think, it's possible that Serah Williams's draft stock could shoot up after a season at UConn. She's already a two-time all-B1G selection.

Plus, bringing in two high-energy disruptors proved very effective last year. Kayleigh and either Blanca or Morgan would be the closest thing on this year's team. If the two of them (especially Kayleigh) can be effective, that would be 40 minutes of disruption.

I've thought about this too, but am pretty sanguine about it. The kay, as always, is team defense. Azzi, Asnlynn, and KK have shown that they're good in the switching defense, and I think it likely that Kayleigh will pick it up, as well as Allie and Morgan if available. Sarah has shown she's...

If I didn't know they originated in Washington state, I'd ask if Simcoe hops were from Ontario. 😜

People forget that Ashlynn led the Big East in two-point percentage her freshman year. If she stay above 40% from three and takes more advantage her midrange and close-in talents, every other team should be scared.

Strong also led the Huskies with five assists. Not bad from your starting power forward, though I guess now she's a "hybrid". I assume Gabby was the last forward to lead UConn in assists for a season?

You're absolutely right -- Kitts mentioned last season that she spent so much less time on the floor because of a new regimen specifically targeting leg strength to help her keep her balance. That would include proper jumping and proper landing.

Looks like Sopron's next Euroleague game is Thursday:

I missed the beginning. Was there any word on Cheli?

Damn, that stinks. I've always liked Chloe, and she really turned into the player I was expecting last year. I hope she makes a full recovery and that we can see her next year.

UConn 74 BC 45

Wow, official team gear and a THRONE!

I was thinking along the same lines. Paige isn't just in Dallas to collect a paycheck. As with anywhere she goes, she's investing in the community. How many other WNBA players spend significant chunks of their offseasons where they play? Dallas is an okay city, but I imagine it's a bit of...

Love "The Hybrids". I am SO pulling for Caroline (and Ayanna).
