    The Big O is one of 3 finalists for Gatorade POY

    +1. That's my point. Too many expectatios on Tina to be a superstar her freshman and soph year. I hope that won't be the same with the Big O next year. Defitnitely imo some odd selections by Gatorade. But the Big O defintely deserves to be on the list - but there were another name or 2 that...

    The Big O is one of 3 finalists for Gatorade POY

    What I don't like about this is that I don't expect her to be as good early on as what's being clamied. As a result, if she isn't as good, then the questions come out, "What's wrong?" I still have flashbacks with Tina Charles. Her frosh year she wound up being Honorable Mention A/A. her soph...

    Isn't Hall on the list? I would guess Hall or Smith.

    Our Bracket and UCLA

    Automaticaly assuming Baylor and Vandy will be the toughest of the 2 seeds imo isn't worth fretting over So much of these games comes down to momentum.

    Villanova Postgame Thread

    Sarah is just so incredible. Just the entire package. Secondly, the defense is just so amazing. I used to admire a long time ago the ability of John Thompson's Georgetown Hoyas press would do to opponents. And Pitino had similar. This defense is also so amazing. What a joy to watch. Wish we...

    An ode to Jana

    I don't agree. her shooting from distance similar to what we think of a Wing is overrated imo. If a team is vying for titles then she is not a shooter. A bottom team you can afford inaccuracy just because a team is desperate for points- so in that case sure whatever position as long as you get...

    An ode to Jana

    I thought it was you - we had our argument on the other site. IMO you're all wrong with Jana and all wrong with Somfai. We'll see who is right. I expect Jana to start next year. As stated last time- Somfai would be one of the last players coming off of UCONN's bench, Her 40.9% is horrific for...

    Georgetown Postgame Thread

    Loved the 1st half of your post but the second half of your post was extremely unnecessarily harsh. So, at times the team gets criticized for how they play in half. Then it’s a qtr. And now it’s 5 minutes from the bench? What next 3? Then 2? Your comment of not being “particularly helpful” is...

    An ode to Jana

    Jana has had a good year. Her biggest issue is that her team has been incredible. Blanca was thought to be more like 6'1 - she looks 6'3 and she looks bigger so it means she can easily play the 4. moving Sarah to the 5 as their best lineup which cut into Jana's minutes. If she isn't better than...

    UConn is prepared for March

    Geno has also said it's all about getting to the final Four. Competing teh last week for a title. Yes you cite an ulrtimate goal but you downplay the rest by caling it just "nice?" That's why some fans are called spolied.

    UConn vs St John’s postgame

    I don't agree. I'm not a scout for sure but it looks to me like Serah isn't a back-to-the-basket post player in the way someone like Crooks is. I think she gets too easily pushed off balance. Sometimes I almost feel like i get tired just watching her fighting so hard trying to establish low post...

    Georgetown Postgame Thread

    UCONN is clearly the best team in the country They could've won the last game by 50+ points if they kept in Sarah and Azzi. This season has been one of the great all-time seaasons in their history. Go on ChatGpt or micropliot to compare. They're just a tremendous team. But they aren't pros. And...

    Georgetown Postgame Thread

    I wish for this "grind" every year. No losses. No games under 5 or 10. And as we heard from Geno in the postgame how its takes time for someone like Blanca to come back. We can all see how terrific she is. ANd we saw Geno have to sit Sarah one entire game, then when she is back we read how he...

    No he doesn;'t. The other teams aren't pros. He'll do just like he did last year. Listen to his postagme when someone brought up Serah and Jana in-- he wasn't impressed into talking much about it other that say his other players needed rest. UCONN wants other teams to react to them. Not them to...
