Do I recall correctly that Ayanna was considered athletic enough that if given "permission" from the staff and the right circumstances, she might have been the first Husky to dunk on an opponent? If so, hopefully she'll be able to unleash this move against her new conference opponents...

Or South Dakota, home of the “Corn Palace”!

My wife and I tuned in a bit late and missed Azzi being called first, though we have seen some YouTube videos of her selection. It didn’t appear that Geno was present and if so, I guess that somewhat surprises me. Was it mentioned during the broadcast? If not, does anyone have any insight...

Based on your handle, I’m wondering if you’re from Maine, and if so, from up in the County (I lived there for several years) or down by Bidderford and if you’re fluent in Québécois French. I appreciated Holly’s respect for the French player by addressing her in her native language. Perhaps...

I am writing this response without having read the whole thread so apologies if this repeats anyone else's observations/opinions. But before this, I want to mention that despite the obvious disappointment in the outcome against South Carolina, I remind myself that this was overall a really...

UConn 72 So Car 70 MOV 2

After watching the game and the ND post-game press conference, I came away with the feeling that not only is she one hecka of a player, she's a genuinely special person. I'd be proud to have her as my daughter, despite her obvious poor taste in uniform selection. 😀

I think our perspective on who should be starting sometimes suffers from "recency" bias, especially when it comes to scoring metrics. "Player X has had two great games in a row so therefore she must start the next couple of games. Player Q has missed 90% of her outside shots so sit her on the...

After watching all of the angles, I think we need to offer recognition to the UConn coaching staff for making sure the bench didn't over-celebrate, come on the floor, and be at risk for having a technical called. It was close enough with Dan and the ref!

And also my oldest granddaughter’s birthday! She’s very gifted athletically, and tall for her age, and at some point will need to decide between swimming (at age 11 she’s competing in nationals) and basketball as her winter sport.

What you say is true but the article strictly on women’s basketball.

I was neutral in who I favored in this matchup, and as I look at the Sweet Sixteen results, I'm a bit more convinced all 4 #1 seeds are likely going to the Final Four, so it seems a bit of a non-issue at this point favoring one team over another in so far as the Huskies' chances are. But I must...

I know this comes from a subscription service but hopefully folks are able to read this as guests, or find a work around. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7150507/2026/03/27/geno-auriemma-dawn-staley-womens-basketball-leaders/

I was disappointed in the attendance at Gampel for the second game and really wonder why the UConn game wasn't scheduled second. It seems more likely that Husky fans would filter in for at least the latter half of the second game than would stick around when UConn plays first. I think I...
