Awesome. She's a natural!

I know this is kind of obvious, but Geno's plan generally is to improve every game, build towards the post season, win the BE, BET, and NCAA tournaments. How he gets there with PT distribution will be interesting to see. I think one of the biggest things fans will be watching for over the...

Best rivalry in the game at this time. Nothing has the hype of UConn vs. Tennessee, but Pat is sadly long gone, so that "circus" atmosphere (Pat vs. Geno media frenzy) is over as well. But Dawn vs. Geno is a pretty good follow up...

Q is an easy kid to root for. I wish it had worked out at UConn. It makes me wonder if she had - would she be part of the core 10? Ahead of Allie? Ice? And yet she goes to a legit top 10 team and is a starter? Says a lot about the quality of depth at UConn this year.

I posted my thoughts on the game earlier, but after reading thru the comments a few other things jump to mind. In my original post I talked about the good things that I saw, mainly from KK, Sarah, Kayleigh, and Azzi. Kudos to Ash for her play excepting her shooting. In a way I'm kind of...

Man it was really close to me between KK and K-9. Sarah was my MVP but KK and Kayleigh really mixed it up!

This was a real mixed bag - some good things for sure, and some not so good things. Was really impressed with: Sarah - she really can do it all and I love that the announcers are already talking her up as a NPOY candidate Azzi - her shot really was off 9-20, but she's special KK - more...

I haven't seen anything, but Ken (@MilfordHusky) is at the game and she's in sweats and not participating in warmups...

Yikes - look at the scoring by quarter - sad offense or great defense, or a combo of both? Must have been excruciating to watch...

Nice analysis. One small nit to pick - we won't know for sure, but IF UConn does go 10 deep, it most likely will not include Carol or Ayanna. The 2nd 5 to round out the core (IMHO in order coming off the bench) - Blanca, Kayleigh, Allie, Ice, and Jana. I'm not sure why but it appears Geno is not...

I'm actually hoping Morgan redshirts this year. Geno has said numerous times that he's going with a core of 8-10 max. That means if Morgan comes back AND she makes the core 10, most likely Jana, Ice, or Allie will be pushed out. I like her game, but she's not "needed" this season. Take a medical...

Great post. To take it a bit further... I would totally like to see more focus on post scoring. Blanca is a Tasmanian Devil when driving to the basket, and I suspect she will draw a LOT of fouls. This time it will be ND's turn to whine about all the FT's from driving into traffic. I think Serah...

Not me - maybe I'm in the minority, but I want to see Geno's core 8-10 pretty much the entire game. Bring in the end of the bench the last 4 minutes, including Kelis, Carol, Gandy, and Ayanna (if we have a big enough lead). There will be plenty of blowouts to give more time to the reserves. In a...

A lot of interesting and good comments. Just to add my $.02... I think a few are getting lost in the semantics of "over-looked". She had confidence last season early on, but then got sick and never really recovered. I'm sure she and the coaches worked on her game, but she never looked...

It seems like folks in general agree that there was a lot of good in the game. I know this is "duh", but Hurley is a smart guy and he's surrounded himself with smart assistants. The points of exhibition games is to see where the core group is, what rotations work, how the offense and defense...
