2 years of not playing basketball, plus her nagging injuries before that - she's practically a freshman skills-wise, if not a little behind that. Agreed super easy kid to root for - really hoping even just a few things click for her. I kind of thought Geno's comments to her at the start of this...

Bummer, but I just hope the game gets played. That seems to be the case which is good.

💯 I have never understood the incorrect narrative that people continue to push that Unrivaled and AU are "rival" leagues to the W. Maybe people feel that if they say the same wrong thing often enough, people will actually believe it to be true. According to the dictionary... A "rival" is a...

😱 or ‼️?️

Yeah I'll admit I was surprised to see him jump at the start of the game. He's gonna be fun to watch!

The stats might have looked great, but I don't think KK was or Ash played "really really well". Not like they were in the NCAA's last season. I thought Azzi and Sarah looked like AA's. Serah was much better than I thought given Geno's comments about her offensive struggles. I thought Ash and KK...

I have a feeling this season it will be a steady diet of Azzi and Sarah, but KK's Tasmanian Devil defense might earn her a few along the way too!

About what I expected early on. Can't expect the team to be like a well oiled machine. The talent is obviously there, but this was a great game to show all the problem areas, and there were a lot of them. Starters about what I expected, but Serah was better than I was thinking. I recall Geno...

BTW I was watching a youtube video on UCONN - it was about 17 minutes long and had a section on each freshman and transfer. I was shocked that Reibe is so "big" (not fat, just a lot of mass). For some reason I thought he was more slender. Not at all. Practice battles between him and Reed will be...

I've heard crazier analogies than comparing Geno to an Iditarod Musher! 😁

I'd actually be curious to see Brondello coach in Dallas. I've been critical of her abilities, as even tho she's had great "success" in the league, it's always been on teams with literally the best talent in the WNBA. On top of that, both teams she had success with fired her. Let's see what she...

I have a question - there seems to be a myth that is being perpetuated by I'm not sure who. I can't find the article, but it was from ESPN and it talked about Unrivaled and AU saying that they were "rival leagues to the WNBA". How? I would understand if they were trying to encroach on the WNBA...

So now that everyone is there, on campus and practicing (if not injured like Cheli), and before our exhibition game Monday, I thought maybe we could revisit the starting 5 people think. I'm talking about game 1 in the regular season, not exhibition games or scrimmages. What say you? Vote for...

I'm glad Blanca is getting some national attention. TBH, I'm actually really surprised - not because it's ESPN, but because even (some) UConn fans aren't sure how good she will be, as the starting spots are hotly contested. Of course, PT is more important than who starts, but I'd love to see the...

Totally. I was referring to mainly junior and/or senior years. I think Sarah is 1st team AA this season, and am not sure Blanca is as good as Sarah, so we will see. A lot will depend on minutes, of course, and PPG...
