    Geno tests positive for COVID-19

    Who needs him? What has he done for the program?

    Assists, schmassists

    If Paige got only four assists in the Big East Championship Game, there is something wrong with the way assists are awarded.

    Senator Murphy’s Legislation on College Athletes

    To not be in favor of this is to be absurd. How many college athletes with promising professional aspirations had their career hijacked by an injury or other such setback, and were thus unable to realize their life's financial potential? How much of a "learning institution's" budget is funded...

    Marquette Postgame Thread

    Marquette is so well-coached they remind me of UConn. Megan Duffy was 44-20 in two years at Miami of Ohio and is now 36-11 at Marquette, 12-3 this season and in second place in the Big East, and 24-8 last year, her first year at Marquette, before that season got tossed down the pandemic...

    Arkansas Postgame Thread

    Crackerjack game! You win some of those, you lose some. I was proud of UConn for coming back time after time - a few times when it seemed for sure the game was lost. Until Evina's three clanked at :00, the game was still up for grabs. I'm sure Geno and Chris will be holding intense defense...

    Chief00?

    It happened to me too. My post this AM did not include the one letter word for one's self which gets modified to "Chief00".

    UConn Undefeated, 2002 Version

    Saw the UConn Undefeated, 2002 version yesterday. Very entertaining. Already knew Geno, Swin Cash, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird had big personalities and sharp senses of humor, but Asjha Jones and Tamika Williams surprised me by being just as funny and charming as the others. Geno had a good...

    What would Tennessee legend Pat Summitt have said about UConn’s Geno Auriemma breaking her wins record? (A must read)

    In my life I've watched John Wooden, Bobby Knight, Adolph Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski, Pat Summitt, John Thompson, Geno Auriemma, and a host of other "great" basketball coaches demonstrate their wares and make their mark. No one compares to Geno (and Chris Dailey), in my mind. Period. End of...

    RIP Legendary Boston Celtics player, coach K.C. Jones dies at 88

    R.I.P. KC. He was a rock. Fabulous defender. Great coach.

    my vote for Maya as best player in UConn history (so far)

    I call it a dead heat between Maya, Diana and Stewie. They all won multiple NCAA championships, they all were outstanding on both ends of the court, they all kicked butt in the WNBA.

    UCONN Undefeated Part 2

    I've seen two, the 2009 and 1995 shows. These are the best ZOOM entertainment I've seen, of any ilk, during the pandemic. It's a brilliant idea, perfect for the ZOOM medium and a tonic for the mood. Geno does a great job of moderating and providing talking points. I've gotten insights into...

    Crowd Noise

    You had to know it was fake noise because, while crowds are often raucous at the beginnings of away games, when UConn establishes itself i.e., pulls away to a 30+ point lead, you can hear a pin drop. Usually.

    Creighton Postgame Thread

    It was a lot of blah on the offensive end, apart from Olivia. Anna warmed up her shooting eye with the exception of an alarming airball and a few clanks. When her shot is going in, she looks like she could do it all day. Paige least productive scoring game thus far gives me a flashback to the...
