If Shade were a car, the dealer would be selling you on her pickup speed. I am sure it is due in no small part to her extensive training from a young age. One of the things that makes a press work is the ability of defenders to sprint back on defense to cover open players when the press...

A 7 pm start time (EDIT: ok, 6 pm even better) 5+ threes from Azzi Hold Izoje to 14 or less points

Blanca missed two free throws, but then promptly stole the ball at mid court and drove it all the way in for a layup. It was that kind of game. I wish that Geno's version of "calling the dogs off" did not involve playing a zone defense. I don't think Azzi will have two games in a row like...

In the ESPN online article of March 19, they polled 22 ESPN analysts. 13 had UConn, 4 Texas, 4 UCLA, one South Carolina. But your point is well taken, there is a sense among many that this is inevitable, and that is disconcerting. IMHO it is far from inevitable and there are at least four teams...

Trivia - who are the only two players from the 2020-2021 UConn roster that are still active in WCBB? Answer below. Mir McLean and Saylor Poffenbarger.

Sometimes called "Geology". The intro Geology course at my college was commonly referred to as "rocks for jocks", so not many rocket surgeons in those classes.

I saw on her social media today where she thanks everyone for their messages and love, and says that she will update everyone soon. Next pic, appears to be in a physical therapy establishment with her legs elevated on a large workout ball, with the message "Find me here until then". Right knee...

I'm sure Shade was happy to see a possible matchup with Iowa State on March 23.

As a UConn fan, I am happy with the draw. First, getting the number one seed was not a foregone conclusion. It sounded like the Committee awarded it based on the eye test. I think UCLA's bracket is much more difficult, they may have to get by both Ole Miss and LSU. And if Duke beats LSU, it...

Sarah was very deserving but I was hoping KK would get the Big East Tournament MVP. Bracketology suggests that UConn may be in line to face the likes of Blakes, Raven Johnson, and Rice or Harmon down the road. KK's play, particularly in recent games, should give UConn confidence in approaching...

Ugh. She got hurt playing first game against Greece in November. Now, first game and again against Greece.Tore ACL in first game for Besitkas. Always the first game, and always playing lights out when it happens. Heartbreaking. It may be a while before we hear anything definite based on past...

Brenda is one of only four currently active women's coaches with a NCAA title to her credit. Beat Duke in OT in 2006. Others are more obvious, Geno, Dawn and Kim.

Joens had not hit a three the entire tournament and had not scored at all in the game, so I get it. I'm old enough to remember when teams played until the final buzzer no matter what the score was. And we wouldn't have had the famous Brianna Pulido basket in 2016 if Geno had pulled the plug...

I got there early and watched Villanova warm up. They shoot a ton of threes in warmups. And they make a ton of threes in warmups. Swish, swish, swish. As a UConn fan, it was making me nervous. So I solved that problem by looking elsewhere. But that changed once the game started. Contested ones...

I was at the game, announced as a sellout, maybe a handful of empty seats in the very top, great energy. It is a great venue but it does get awfully noisy there. The vast majority of the crowd stayed for the post game celebration and awards. Lots of great comments in the thread, no need to...
