And I would've thought, it looks like Penn State is getting a real coach, she might wanna stay around.

In the group of four, I'd replace Betts with Booker.

Agreed. I'm hoping there are lots of rules checks, because I'd rather listen to Kantner than to Peck.

“When you get to the WNBA, if you have two guards that can pretty much do everything — defend, pass, shoot the three, get to the paint — then we’re talking about building championship DNA,” Taurasi said. I was initially skeptical of Dallas using the first pick for Azzi, but the more I've...

Whether and how much about a player's injury to make public is up to the player. That's the law, it's not UConn policy. We know she had ankle surgery a year or so ago. I don't remember there being further surgery, but my memory is fallible. In early January Geno said Morgan was making...

I’d love to see her (Addy Brown) at UConn.

I like the bit about culture. Two things: Ash and KK bring such different personalities, both of which have positive effects on the culture. KK is so ebullient, so in your face, always chattering. Ash is so steady, positive, and team-oriented. Both are necessary. It's like KK is the...

I'm more happy for friends' success than enemies' failures. And as above, I'd have been fine if Notre Dame had lost in the first or second round.

Yesterday was double overtime, so three total.

Learn somethin’ new every day. I had no idea Knoxville was an hour from Great Smokies National Park. I’ll be spending a week down in Gatlinburg and the park next month, my first time there. No shine, but I do plan on partaking of local microbrews.

Is UVa the first team to advance to the Sweet Sixteen after surviving three overtime periods?

I love how she runs down the court and the opponent thinks she’s at full speed, then she does a little hop and turns on the afterburners and you see how fast she really is.

I’m a little late commenting on UVA — in the tourney they’ve done a great job of using their size. I thought they’d have a pretty good shot at Iowa, and they executed. Great job by the Hoos.

There was one of those in the second quarter wnere I thought the refs should go to the monitor to see about an upgrade. I thought it was dangerous, and after a similar play a few minutes earlier, I thought an upgrade was warranted. I couldn’t believe how open Azzi was after her first few baskets.
