    Simply the Best

    Congratulations to UCLA. If it wasn't going to be UConn, I am glad it was UCLA. I'm guessing this will put to rest the drumbeat of "Close isn't a great coach, does less with more, etc.". It was very satisfying seeing SC smacked down again in a NC game. Every UCLA senior played really well...

    OT: UConn men win!

    It was a great game. Had a double digit lead in the 2nd half, Illinois cut it to 4, but missed deep 3's down the stretch and we hit our FT's. So proud of the men! UConn 3rd NC game in 4 years...

    2026 Transfer portal

    Two words. Coach Abe. Her overly physical "foul on every play" defense when at UCF was a constant source of angst for many UConn fans. Maybe her abrasive style worked well at a mid-major, but not at an elite P4 school (not saying Georgie is elite in hoops like SC, Texas, LSU, Vandy, etc., but...

    Tennessee 2025, part 2

    This is awesome. All that's left is Civil and Minus. I will surprised if Civils stays. I can't imagine how Kim will be able to even put together even a decent team from the portal. It could be possible Tennessee ends up dead last in the SEC next season. Even if they landed every single top...

    Statement from Geno

    Well done Geno. The right thing to do and well stated. An overwhelming majority of the time, he's spot on and does the right thing. I'm glad when he has a misstep, he recognizes it and does all he can to make it right...

    26-27 season

    I have a feeling Hidalgo will take a hard look at Texas in the offseason.

    South Carolina Postgame Thread

    There was plenty to complain about Dawn last season and her F-bombs and rightly so. I called her out and so did many others. But What Geno did after the game in the handshake line was not a good look at all as many have pointed out. I know it was heat of the moment, but it's on national TV for...

    South Carolina Postgame Thread

    Outplayed, outcoached, and outclassed. Congrats to SC. It was a great ride up to the abrupt end. The things some pointed out as weaknesses were on full display today. Not a good look by Geno at the end either. Not the ending anyone wanted from the UConn perspective. This team was NOT head and...

    ESPN top 15 players in the final 4

    ESPN's list. Really no surprise that Strong is #1, but Fudd #3 and Quinones #6. WOW. Any other team have a player on the list who comes off the bench? So glad Blanca is getting some national attention. Ranking the 15 best players in the women's final 4 1. Sarah Strong Forward | 6-foot-2 |...

    Hannah Hidalgo, who is your toughest defender?

    I know UConn players appreciate KK (but still not enough IMHO), but her offense is not splashy enough for the rest of WCBB to really take notice. AND she's only a junior. For the most part, her offense was really solid this season, not counting the last game or 2. I hope she gets some love...

    I know this was posted in the transfer portal thread, but OMG Tennessee. Total train wreck.

    Tennessee 2025, part 2

    Fans on Volnation are basically like "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. "Too small, too weak, have to shoot 3's from the hip, may be good for a mid major but not an elite program like Tennessee" (almost spit out my coffee at the use of the word "elite"). Regardless, horrible...

    Naismith Awards (merged thread)

    So happy and proud of her. One of the most humble superstars ever. She's just amazing. And to think - just over 2 more years for us to get to enjoy and appreciate her!!!
