    Did the circadian rhythm play a role in UCONN loss to Arizona?

    Only if they were making music, although they were not as "tuned in" as usual.

    Did the circadian rhythm play a role in UCONN loss to Arizona?

    In response to Vowelguy, there is in fact a very large body of knowledge regarding sleep in all its manifestations. Some of this is relevant to this discussion. The word discussion refers to a group (indefinite size but more than 1) talking about an issue of mutual interest in order to share...

    Did the circadian rhythm play a role in UCONN loss to Arizona?

    While all is in good fun, the replies do suggest at how difficult it can be to have a serious, as in science based, discussion

    Did the circadian rhythm play a role in UCONN loss to Arizona?

    Correct under ordinary conditions, but living in a bubble for two weeks diminishes the "cues" the body needs to make adjustments to the sleep cycle. In response suggesting teenagers love being up past 9 pm. that is no doubt true but that does not mean they are as functional at that times as...

    Did the circadian rhythm play a role in UCONN loss to Arizona?

    The circadian rhythm regulates sleep-wake cycles and repeats every 24 hours. It is endogenous but is adjusted to the local environment by external cues such as light, temperature, and something called redox cycles which is a type of chemical reactionin which the oxidation states of atoms are...

    Women's Basketball Equality

    No where other than here on the UCONN Women's Basketball Boneyard is there a greater concentration of Women's Basketball passionate and at times objective fans. They need us now more than ever and the time is ripe. We need to find a way to convey to the NCAA administrators how much we, the...

    OT? Philadelphia Tomato Pie

    I whole completely regarding Al Forno, the only problem being the long line. But......having been a life long (since college) fan of Pepes or The Spot, I am a recent convert to Sally's just down the street. Both are fantastic and it is a matter of taste, but when it reopens Thursday, Sally's...

    Video quality

    While annoying, even more annoying, and I love SB, was the discussion for minutes on end of everything except what was going on in the game - substitutions, fouls, great shots, bad shots, but hardly any insightful commentary. I know on air time is limited and homage was being paid to PS, but...

    Andra Espinoza-Hunter to transfer [merged thread]

    While most everyone on the BY wishes her the best of luck and is sincerely sorry to have this outcome, there seems to me to be an obvious fact her that has not been spoken to. Given what we have seen so far this year, there are basically too many really good players to give them all adequate...

    Understanding Natalie Butler's play in 3 programs

    How is one to understand Natalie's differing performance in 3 different programs? Clearly she is very talented and beloved by all here at the boneyard, but comparing her play in each of the 3 programs raises the question in my mind as to why she shines so brightly at Georgetown and her current...

    Shout out to CBSSN

    It was great they stayed with the post game festivities. But..........during the game they frequently did not comment on what was going on in the game even as an explanation would have been very helpful. I also tired of the positive commentary about what a great shot it was around the basket...

    OT: Can Anyone Shed Light on This Habit

    Really? This has nothing to do with her basketball skills or play. Lets please have the decorum to not comment on meaningless observations and grant these wonderful young women some degree of privacy where everything they do generates a comment. If you would not ask them in person, it is...

    A (very) little bit about the next opponent

    After reading about her, a very interesting story, my feeling, not my objective brain, is "come on guys, go easy on them" Such a nice young lady.

    Heartbreaking story of Schuye Larue.

    Actually mental health treatment cannot be forced upon anyone unless they are clearly a threat to themselves or others. A famous situation in NYC several years ago clarified through a court finding that a homeless person living on the streets in NYC could not be taken into care if they were not...
