Nobody is saying shooting alone makes for a good team offense, but when referring to an individual player, if you refer to their offense, the common person takes that to mean scoring. Expecting Daniel to refine his writing to be different from what people expect is unreasonable.

Great question. I don't have an answer.

It wasn't really a challenge. It's just an opinion. He is a freak athlete, did lots of things, and was critical to the team's success, but he had one of the worst outside shots we've ever seen and opposing defenses did slump off him, thereby clogging the lane. He was not an offensive threat. My...

Hugh Millen has shown he knows nothing. Lacrosse is not bigger, the stadium isn't 30 miles, and the job is not that bad. It does have challenges.

I disagree. For me as a fan, titles matter the most, awards are secondary. Taking them out keeps them fresher and reduces the chance for injury. I'd be cursing Geno if one of them got hurt in a blowout game like today. It's also good for building the bench. Fisher was spectacular in her time...

We're all good. I understand the dynamic. My parents followed the women only. As a grad ('90), I follow and support every sport that I can. I just couldn't find a better example for my defense of Daniel's terminology usage than AJ.

I appreciate your request, but he was the best example of someone that checked so many buckets, but not scoring. Faris checked boxes, but she could score as well. Not dynamic, but not a black hole. I realize this is a women's board and many are women's fans only, but it's also a UConn board. I...

Maybe his comment on offense wasn't as broad as yours. I tend to agree with Daniel in that if someone makes a comment about offense, it implies scoring, and that's how most of his readers perceive those comments too. He is writing for them. Andre Jackson checked many of your boxes, but nobody...

No "bad guys" please.

Great reference that people of a certain minimum age will get. I got it, of course. Maybe BCU should play a nice game of chess.

Excellent play by the Cornell goalie to stop a wide open Arredondo. UConn wins!!!

3-1 UConn on an Alex Tupay header at 77:05. It's his first career goal.

On this board? A bunch are saying he's a bad coach and has to go.

It does look sparse on TV. Maybe 1/2 full, or is that too generous?

Cornell took a 1-0 lead on a ball I think the goalie Durham should have had. It bounced off him, hit a post and went in. Brummett responded with a ground level diving header to tie the game at 1. With 1 second left on the clock before half time, Brummett put one between the goalie's legs for...
