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!

In conveying this mythical "award," we Boneyarders (myself included) have a lamentable tendency to limit our scope to just one end of the floor. While her offensive performance tonight was just average (for her), Ash's defense was unrelentingly suffocating and so truly badass that she gets my vote!

Well, respectfully, Nan, considering how much you seem to dislike our opining on the subject of The Big East and its relative weakness, I'm frankly surprised that you brought it up, to say nothing of the fact that, once again, respectfully, you, in my opinion, have missed the point: Look, the...

Anyone who's played much competitive basketball knows how huge a role confidence plays in performance. This team had four "big-stage" games on their regular season schedule, and they were 0-for-3 coming into this one. In each of those three losses, the intimidation factor under the bright lights...

Beasts of the Big East? You betcha! Can they ever perform like beasts on a larger stage? Next Sunday would be a helluva time to start!

I have Youtube tv, and am new to it. Could I please prevail on you, or anyone, to be more specific about how to access FoxSports (SNY) through Youtube tv? I'm old, and fairly clueless!
