    UConn’s Auriemma gets exclusive about his future plans, why he’s so charged up now

    I see two key points in this article. One - Geno still really enjoys what he's doing. Two - there are undoubtedly coaches telling recruits that he'll be gone by the time they get to Storrs, and this provides some reassurance. Sarah may be a key with her two coming years. He'll have a great...

    Cliches - "Makes his/her presence known." "Driving the ball downhill"

    Yes! "he reaches in and fouls out there"

    Poor fan showing at Gampel

    Used to be many of the lower seats were corporate purchases, not by "fans." Also many people buy seats to "scalp" them. We bought tickets to a sold-out game earlier this year at a multiple of what the ticket holder paid.

    Getting to the Final Four: Silas Demary Jr.

    I think Silas' jawing after his dunk showed that his emotions were running very high. Anger and adrenaline can certainly help your performance, but it may also cause some overeager turnovers.

    Recruiting: Nell Angloma

    Both UConn teams have strong reputations of preparing players for success at the next level. Of course, that is tempered by the ability and dedication of individuals.

    Geno's logical successor

    Diana or Sue, but I doubt either would want to coach

    Utah Postgame Thread

    I continue to be confused by the time Serah is getting. She's long and athletic and a good defender and rebounder, but her offense is just a mess and she's not fitting in at this time. Serah is playing good defense and rebounding. Her lay-ups need work. She also seems to be forcing shots, like...

    Paige confirms Azzi is her girlfriend...

    You are fortunate if you find the right partner in life. People in the public sphere are no different. Rebecca Lobo has a great marriage; Sue Bird clicked with Megan Rapinoe, and I'm happy for both Paige and Azzi.

    2025 NBA Draft Thread

    Dallas showed, though, that a team can tank but can't plan for the #1 pick. Danny better have a trade plan just is case if he wants AJ.

    Guys that didn’t get drafted

    It's also a reflection of a strong "potential for growth" bias. Dixon @ 24 years old is likely thought to have hit his ceiling. Flagg's age at 18 made him an even more appealing selection.

    2026 Recruiting: Qayden Samuels

    It seemed that his sister loved her time @ UConn. It was just a question of numbers and she was too far down in the rotation to get any playing time.

    First Practice Video with the newbies

    Great to see her moving well too. She may have been called for a foul on Sarah. Now that she has her mobility back, she can work on her timing and get more game repetitions.

    Q to NC State

    Hard not to like Q. She seemed a great teammate and a very likeable person. At times, the game seemed to move too fast for her, perhaps a reflection of her limited minutes. You'd see her look around the court and seem to wonder if she was in the right position, especially on defense. She has...
