Eleven games so far, opponents averaging 46 ppg. Hard to win with that number!

As usual, this team’s best player is its defense! Game after game, the only question is “ will the opponent cross the 50 point line?” What we’re witnessing is the definition of great coaching!!

Our favorite team boasts so many potential offensive weapons that even when the perimeter game is lackluster, as it was vs L'ville, or improved as it was vs FSU, we fans have little to worry about on that end of the floor. I tend to focus more on team defense, partly because that's the component...

As with others, my biggest surprise, and a pleasant one, lay in the nature of Kayleigh's contribution. Her quickness, her aggressiveness, and her ball-handling all exceeded my expectations. the PG position on this team is quite secure. Nothing that I saw on the floor derails Sarah Strong's...

Ahhh, Tina...if perchance you are reading this, fret not! Some of us know.

As the new season approaches, evaluating the nearly unprecedented depth of talent on the Huskies’ roster, I’ve been giving some thought to the subject of which player is most likely to amass the greatest number of Kibitzer’s eponymous award. My initial guess would be Sarah, but, if you would...

Of course, anything we say about an upcoming season in July amounts to little more than pure speculation, especially considering that injury bugs and happenstance are so outside the realm of predictability. In short, your guess is every bit as good as mine. For me, however, looking at ’25-’26 as...

We have all seen this movie before: Our favorite team will be cruising along to a satisfying 20+ point lead when, inexplicably, the wheels start to come off...none of our shots, which we previously couldn't miss, are dropping,,,we've found a way to make careless turnovers...our opponent suddenly...

I don't know a "heck" of a lot about Kayleigh's game, but I am told by folks whose knowledge exceeds mine that she is regarded to be a particularly strong defender, always a good thing. Can anyone edify me?

Every top team boasts one or two brilliantly talented kids who are natural scorers, who know how to put the ball in the hoop. For the most part, these are skills that cannot be taught...they are mostly the result of inborn talent. Every program, to be successful, needs some of those. Geno, being...

In the six victories that constituted UConn's run in this year's tournament, including three against number one seeds, the six opponents averaged 54 points per game. One observation I've made over the years is that 54 points is a very tough number with which to achieve victory. Another is that...

Team Defense!!! In both Final Four victories the opponents barely broke 50!

One of the laughable things I have read on this board over the years, especially after occasional tournament losses over those years since Stewie and Co, departed, is that the women's game seems to have passed Geno by! UConn shot the ball pretty well tonight, and scored well, but the game was...

I'm not sure if there's a ND fan board like ours...there must be...but if you check it out you will inevitably learn that this is all because the refs "had it in" for ND!

Any number of people can be named today, but I, like others, thought Aubrey was totally badass!
