UCONN is a definite national title contender this upcoming year. I don't know why some want to ignore what Auriemma has said. Just look at at the scores over the. last 10 years in NCAA Final Four. Its apparent for anyone that wants to look; the scoring took an enormous dip. If the games in...

And posts like yours is exactly why sometimes animosity gets built up here. You felt a need to be condescending with your parade comment. All-the-while you are condescending you bring up one comment Geno said about his ultimate goal of winning a title. You felt okay to quote him on this but not...

62/51/48/44 is "better?"

I respect so much all the teams that get to the FF. None of those teams are "Cinderella." They're all "dogs" in a good way. I'm just a fan though of enjoying offense. It doesn't have to be 100-99 but 62/51/48/44 is imo horrific. The 09-10 team is one of my favorites ever; but that championship...

They were "great enough" to get to the Final Four. This is what Geno has said mutliple times what really matters is that you are there the final week for a chance to win the title. They got the number 1 seed because of those blowouts. They got the draw because of those blowouts. And they won...

no not a nerve. Just wondered why you thought "cool." We can agree to disagree. I posted earlier on this thread shortly before you did that imo that a lot of kids want to play fast. That is what imo they feel is "cool." While Dawn is also "cool" imo Geno didn't lose a thing from his being upset...

The "cool coach" that has been blown out twice in the last 2 years in the finals? And you think the top recruits in the 1-3 range, that tend to be extremely great every now and then, unless they are a center, want to play that style? Is it more "cool" to go to finals and get blow out twice in...

I IMO nan - it's what I said on an older post on another thread- there are a lot of old timers on here that are more comfortable watching conventional basketball. I can recall in 2024-2025 season many on here suggesting/implying and agree with those that said Jana needs to get the ball and more...

Not in order just listing the players and the positions. UCONN potentially has 5 PG’s, 5 SG’s, 4 Small Forwards, 4 Power Forwards (or whatever you want to call them>), and 4 centers. Every player has some sort of opportunity to play in big games other than Gandy imo. 1-KK, K9, Lil Fish, JoPop...

IMO you are putting too much value in an overseas exhibition tournament that wasn't competing against USA players. We’ll knock our team for playing in a weak conference, but yet we're supposed to put Jana on a very-high-pedestal playing in a thrown-together summer-league tournement lineup but...

Not true unless the definition of "a dominant center" is only after they win, we call them a dominant center. Teams need some height -- but they don't need a dominant center to win. Last year was proof of that. Last year "the dominant center from UCLA" got embarrassed by small-ball. And when...

2 years ago they got an over-exuberant refs call away from going to Finals with that moving pick call. And this year's upcoming team should be better than that team. Not saying they will be. IMO what's happening here is tha most people want to see UCONN play conventional and even more than...

You didn't watch her play in H/S then. In H/S when opposing teams pressed her teaam, her coach would put her in the backcourt to become one of the ball handlers to break or minimize the effectiveness of the press. the press. Her quickness and atheticism were eleite. as a jr, In some summer...

"As The World Turns ," on The Boneyard. 😀 We need Centers! We need Foirwards! We need Rebounders! We need a new backcourt!

I expect Gandy to play very little this year. UCONN's best lineup was with Sarah at 5 and Blanca at 4. With the aboundance of guards in which some could back up and play some SF and Cheli can play backup PF, there is too much ahead of her. Hopefully she gets redshirt from last year. She'll have...
