UConn wins 82-61 MOV 21

Some seem to be making too much of this and potentially future games. Geno has been around so long that its normal to go up against past assistants and other revalries. I am sure he gives both teams the respect they deserve, but the respect will be based on how they played this year, not on the...

Feel sorry for Legette Jack. I felt she was doing a good job rebuilding the program but her comments appear to have set the process back several years at the least. UConn players come out with the ability to speak publically and use social media as an asset. If Syracuse's coach has issues with...

Have to respect Syracuse for recruiting some very good young talent. Now, similar to Villanova and other schools at the 25-50 ranking level, their challenge is going to be how to keep them for 4 years.

Have watched the press conferences the past two years. While all Syracuse coaches and players speak positively about UConn, it seems like they need a public speaking course, particularly the head coach. Not sure her words match up well to her objectives. What the press picks up on is rarely...

Strange comment. Not sure what her point was. Seems like Syracuse's seeding each year would place them against a team similar to UConn. Geno usually takes his foot off the gas, playing subs and implementing zones the last quarter. Teams like South Carolina do not. Would she rather fly to a...

UConn wins 87-54 MOV=33

Regular maintenance? I find it hard to believe it is just being used as a random PT practice. Have had it for various injuries for several years and its always to help with specific issues.

UConn wins 89-52. MOV 37

While far from perfect, Serah's offense has greatly improved the past 10 games or so. Several games where she scored 5-7+ points in Q1, then got taken out for significant periods of time. When returned to the court, she often was playing with new lineup. While I hate to see players who are hot...

Good point but at this stage of the season, unlikely to be able to coach up too much better free throw form. This will likely factor into Geno's substitution patterns should games get tight. Not too concerned since starters have come through this season when needed.

Look at all the shoulder and other braces and some extra time may be just what the Huskies need. The key isn't to play well the first game but the later games against the toughest teams.

-Azzi to get in sync shooting. For the past 2+ weeks, she has been 80% Azzi relative to her 3 point shooting. Last year, UConn buzzed the field in large part due to her shooting that took affect immediately after the opening tap. Set tone for rest of game. -Blanca to stay in control...

Great interview. Big O was very articulate for a high school (or any) player. Appears to not only have UConn level basketball skills but is high on the personal skills/quality person meter as well.

Just when you think you have seen it all during many years of watching all forms of basketball competition.....
