If the team could only play one style, I too prefer a smaller lineup, if that means fast-paced offense, trapping defense, shooters at every position, and lots of player and ball movement. However, the current team has the personnel to play several styles without compromising it's chances of...

Who said anything about "serious situations"? Some lineups would be plain fun to watch for a few minutes, and UConn has the luxury to put them out there. We don't have to win every game by 60 points. Sheesh.

I was there. Jana played quite well in her short time on the court, and brought much needed toughness. I think the "problem" was that Serah played by far her best, most composed and most complete game of the year so it made sense to reward her with minutes and hopefully boost her confidence...

You are missing something.

I'm in agreement with those who think K9 was the badass of the game. However, I want to add to the Azzi love by pointing out that one of the ways UConn solved Tennessee's press in the second half was by having Azzi bring the ball up. The girl has handles. Who knew?

Yes. Apparently Christy did not get the Rebecca Lobo memo.

Me too. I had pigeonholed HH as narrow -minded, self-centered, and a few other unkind things, but today she displayed respect for the game and for the opposition, and a joy that was not just about personal achievement.

I may be wrong (I haven't checked the tape, as they used to say) but I believe that it was Geno who said to Jana "You didn't come all this way to be a non-factor". It was him urging her to impact the game more, and not, as you suggest, her whining about not getting playing time.

This did not age well. 😏

I appreciate your observations and analysis. However, I disagree with one aspect of your commentary on Blanca. I don't think that her initial tendency toward playing at warp speed was a result of having played at that speed in the pros. In general, European basketball is more deliberate than...

The real enticement was a candy cane that Aaliyah taped to her package.

I liked her "old man" game, but don't think she measured up to #1 in her class.

Lauren Cox and Joyner Holmes were less than stellar as well. Maybe you should train your fire on the rankings system rather than on Crystal.

Not to mention that she was Jonathan's favorite human.

I don't think I've ever seen Tonya Cardoza look happier. Maybe she's looking forward to escaping winter.
