I am happy that this team got to play at MSG and it was an honor for them to participate in the first “standalone” women’s game there. That will be a lasting memory for them. The game played out about as expected. Kudos to the “complementary” players, especially New Yorkers Serah and K9 who...

On the Big East Availability Report, only Brady and Cheli are listed for UConn. Unfortunately for Saint John's, Waheed is out. She played very well in the prior matchup against UConn, scoring 14 points. She had missed Saint John's most recent game as well. It is too bad that she will miss an...

Saint John's comes in undersized and off of a close win on the road at Seton Hall, which followed a close loss at home against Georgetown. In the first game, UConn shot 59% from the floor, outshot Saint John's 61-39, and led 72-32 after three quarters. Final 88-43. Sarah led the way with 24...

WCC is a one bid conference. The winner of the WCC league tournament will go. ESPN had to put one of them down. He has LMU as a 15 seed. I don't know if it is based on Creme's opinion as who will win the WCC tournament or something else. Probably his opinion, as with other similar situations...

She is at all the games, looks good, if anything on the slim side, walking normally, no boot. But she doesn't participate in pregame stretching or in any of the pregame warmups. I suspect that anything she is doing in practice is individual but I don't have any info on that. Geno had sounded...

Morgan Valley's record as a head coach (University of Hartford) was 4-37. Looking at it from the outside, I sense that her comfort level and skillset fits well at the assistant coach level but probably not above that. There will be many high level candidates who will throw their hats in the...

This game should be over early. I expect the same A level defensive effort that we saw on Sunday, plus improved shooting. Georgetown was down 51-20 at the half the first game, and had 28 turnovers for the game. I think we are looking at 30+ in that department on Thursday. The third quarter of...

Regarding those missed layups - rumor has it the arm of your chair is very happy about the Olivia Vukosa signing. Also, that baseball is starting soon.

Full house at the game today, and almost everyone stayed for the postgame ceremony honoring the seniors. It was well done, classy, not overdone. Nice videos of each of them. Loud ovations, especially for Azzi and Caroline, but the loudest ovation of the day was when the UConn President held up...

This is Senior Day so looking for Caroline and Ayanna to be in the starting lineup. Sometimes UConn does not play great on Senior Day, although they defeated Marquette last season 92-57. I have a feeling they will channel the emotion of Senior Day in a positive way. KK did not play against...

They certainly do jabber. That is the biggest problem in my view. The second biggest problem is that very little of what they say is useful or interesting. It rapidly becomes annoying background noise. It all makes sense if they have been told to never allow there to be one second of dead...

I've watched that gold medal slalom run about a dozen times now. Chills. We tend to root for the underdog, but here it was the familiar theme of an undisputed world champion dealing with demons from past Olympic struggles, including earlier in this Olympics. Those have been emphatically put to...

I'm noticing that when Azzi gets the ball in the open court, like off of a steal, she is blowing past opposing players for uncontested layups even though Azzi is the one dribbling. Her misses on pull ups in the foul line area tend to be long, off the back rim - a little too flat - for someone...

To oversimplify, UConn players generally look to get open while SEC players generally look to drive and create contact. The way in which UConn's offense operates is much different than what you see in a typical SEC game. Much more ball movement, passing, cutting, screening. Much more point...

Henry was their best player when the teams met earlier this season, even tough her stat line wasn't great - 12 points (4-11), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 TO in 33 minutes, a minus 35. She is long. Carter was in foul trouble and only played 11 minutes before fouling out. Bascoe never got anything...
