Blanca excellent first half and though she didn't score after that I thought she played much more under control throughout the game...solid step forward. Another nice performance by Kelis....glad that Geno is rewarding her with more minutes.

Liked what I saw out of Kelis,,,Serah too.

Got it....thanks CTBasketball.

If Duke wins against Virginia does the ACC title champ get an automatic bid to the 12 team playoff? Or are there some realistic possibilities that given the very mediocre ACC football strength the champ won't get in?

So far: record is 3-5. 3 wins are not against good teams. Losses to Baylor/West Virginia/South Florida/South Carolina/UCLA Lots of losses to really good teams. Injuries a problem? Any issues at all with the coach?

Next poll? Texas goes to #2...with some votes for #1? Does Michigan jump past South Carolina ?

Well...not to "overstate" a point but Geno is simply wrong. I recall that last year several players including Paige said that their loss to LadyVol was the turning point in the season...a good turning point. I would bet big bucks that Michigan learned more from their loss to UConn a few days...

Back in the day I got to attend an occasional practice. With reference to the overall mood and atmosphere: The players were always much more emotional/loud/boisterous than the coaches. Yelling/encouraging/laughing....it made for a darn delightful viewing. But: whenever Geno blew a whistle to...

Huskee11: What a fabulous report...thank you! Dare I say that your report was UConn level?

Many productive minutes for Caroline. Blanca continues to improve ball control....and continues to shoot well....gets more minutes. Serah makes lay-ups...both open and contested.

If he stays at UConn for the bowl game...talk about distractions. Will be be full force recruiting for CSU? Will he be taking players/staff with him? He has done a fantastic job at UConn....deserves many thanks for that. This situation is a mess...potentially a big one.

Amy Duran was a good solid player. I think I recall that whenever the refs called a foul on her the crowd would loudly chant "Amy doesn't foul!"....every time!

Note: there is some [very] idle speculation on the general women's information at the top of the UConn women's board...to the right side.

And ranked NC State is the team that knocked off LadyVol Herself a couple of weeks ago. Super win for Rhode Island.

I do think it makes sense for the staff to get Paige's opinion about the #1 pick. But it shouldn't be her call. The GM and coach have the resources to examine all possibilities in great detail with team success as their priority with nothing personal getting in the way. I bet that Paige...
