I think the criticism of the former Hartford Civic Center is a bit overblown. It’s a good venue for College Hoops. Easier to get to than Storrs and it does hold 15,500+ fans versus GPs 10,299

I would tell them to go get a "Banner" to put up just like their East coast cousins in 2019....

Way to show backbone Kim, you suspended her for 4 weeks! Good for you. You got my vote for the "Integrity of the year" award. Just saw the video of Kim discussing the situation with Whitehorn....

Jana NEVER had ball-handling skills and certainly has shown NO 3-Level scoring (at the rim, mid-range and beyond the arc). I would be pleased if she would hit 60% of her shots at the rim, which she struggled with last year (layups were a mess). 2 Summers ago, YOU made the statement of Jana...

Well, as part of the Home and Home agreement, UConn will be visiting Tennessee in 2027 so we could be bringing the National Title back to Knoxville, they wouldn't be wrong.

Well, maybe if your offense wasn't ranked a paltry #31 (even that may be a generous ranking!) you would be higher. You did lose your best player to Maryland right? On the bright side, Kara was named the USA Coach, I just hope she picks an offensive minded assistant coach like Jenny B from...

Ice? At the end of the year, Jana was the starting center and Sarah Strong jumped center to start the game. In my view, unless an injury occurs, Ice will not be a starter.

Last year the "mini-plans" went on sale on October 16. I will demand has gone up and full season packages have been selling fast. Last year UConn averages 12,671 per game, their 4th highest ever and highest since 2005. I expect the team will pass the 13,000 fans per game mark this year and...

I would say Ice has certainly improved her passing to the tune of 1.96 Assist to turnover ratio (55-28 ) from her 1st year of .872 (41 to 47) but to say she is a good passer is still a bit of a stretch . Considering how often we use the high post (the ratio certainly is good but the raw number...

First and foremost, thank you @DavidinNaples for the dedication to the stat analysis. If anything I have learned from Geno and CD, akin to the “King is dead, long live the King”, we always seem to know how to replace scoring and this coming year will be no exception. In fact, I think this could...

As an ardent follower of this sport for the past 20 years, I will say the polls have gotten better and many voters take their responsibility seriously. Many will use advanced metric sites and record games of interest given all the streaming services. Yes, there are absolutely the lazy writers...

To me, Ayanna has two major issues she, herself has to overcome: She fouled WAY TOO MUCH and that is a recipe for the bench She was “offensively challenged” and I don’t think 2 years of non basketball activities will have helped her develop that part of her game. Now add in the position...

Fairfield has also improved its OOC with Villanova, USF, Iowa, North Carolina and fellow mid major power Richmond on this years docket. A local school for me (21 miles away), I will probably not attend any games due to an already busy game calendar of UConn season tickets and my Rhody set of...

This is my understanding as well, though I am not sure the players who left were anyone to warrant any NIL money. Coach JBM was on the hot seat last year and my guess is she will be let go after this season simply because this is not a good roster and I think the school has been disappointed in...

Thoughts and prayers out to this young lady…I will wear a smile on my face for you and hope all goes well.
