    ESPN - top title contenders and other stuff

    Just curious, using your logic above then how can you ever make a determination that some writer or analyst or announcer is bias based on what you've just said? No one is ever bias because both sides complain?

    ESPN - top title contenders and other stuff

    I agree with you. In regard to something like this – stick to what you believe. For example some posters probably believed right from the beginning UCONN was going to win. While others may not have believed until last minutes. For me, I find it “staggering” that people don’t believe to some...

    ESPN - top title contenders and other stuff

    Can't cite all the incidents but I rarely read ESPN mostly becuase of the combo that many posters on here (UCONN fans and non-UCONN alike) know more imo about UCONN and/or basketball overall than quite a few ESPN writers/analysts. Also, I beleive MV hates/dislkes UCONN overall.. But here are...

    Realistic assessment on 90+ point scoring

    I'm not arguing. But when did he say this? Because after the iowa loss, the above isn't what he said. If he did say the above then we're again trying to figure out "Geno-speak." Which imo is even more the reason there is no set in stone way.

    Realistic assessment on 90+ point scoring

    There is no answer. Everything is a blend. Depending on coaching style, the type of team vs other teams, pace of play, injuries etc. But 1 thing is for certain is that Geno specifically said after losing to Iowa that he could count much less the number of his games that his teams lost in NCAA...

    POLL: NOW that the roster is complete, choose your starters...

    Don't agree at all - as the poster Just_A_Fan makes mention and to paraphrase that - --- Caroline was a shell of herself in that title game. Nowhere near her best. During the season she had 12 consecutive games of averaging 20 minutes or more. In 6 of those games she was the team's leading...

    When we talk about UConn greats, some people forget about…

    +1 I am a big time believer in Geno. I’ve defended him for many years(from bench, to small-ball, to starters etc) because I believe in his style. And he has done some amazing things I never saw coming. Super-great. But he is not perfect. And with Tina he had a definite brain-freeze in her soph...

    2025 Recruiting: Blanca Quinonez

    I assume you mean when she drives there will be at least one other defender inside? Okay, UCONN’s top 2 players are excellent perimeter players. And Serah projects to have a mid-range game. The point is the opposing team isn’t going to set up their Defense to stop Blanca vs two of the supreme...

    How Jana El Alfy is adapting to new role as starter

    I believe UCONN would have won at least one title if not for the injuties. Period. Don't believe to add in any other caveats. Geno said the same thing too that he believes he would have won if not for all the injuries. I don't recall him adding in any caveats other than injuries as well. Though...

    Mind Games

    Not saying she shouldn't start but Chen's EFG% is 60.6%. I'd guard her. It would be nice if KK could take shots other than layups or 5 foot runners in the lane but her defense and assist to turnovers is real good that the point of her starting -- sure 50-50.

    How Jana El Alfy is adapting to new role as starter

    The below in bold were the prior posts you made that I replied to. I see though you did initially make mention to both players which I missed but then in bold I suppose because the way I phrased the questions, we were speaking specifcially of Jana at least the bold in which you replied to me...

    How Jana El Alfy is adapting to new role as starter

    Okay this isn't directly about Jana/Ice-- Not saying you are but the way you phrased the question - why assume once Azzi gets healthy they will miss as often as they have been? If any team misses most or all of their shots there is a good chance the other team is going to lose just as Iowa...

    How Jana El Alfy is adapting to new role as starter

    You said Jana. You referred to her only. I don't want to be hostile here. :) If you want to say both then okay by me - I'll back off. :)That gives two opportunites for 2 players to score up to near 20. Thanks for the discussion.
