    Weak schedule

    One positive to the schedule, especially for season ticket holders, is five games in Connecticut over the period November 9 to November 23. The major downside to the schedule is no game against South Carolina. If they were on the schedule, it would look a lot better. There are some decent...

    The court in People's Bank Arena

    My recollection is that they did mention it. It was definitely apparent on the computer graphics where the "click on the dot" seat selection occurred.

    UConn-FSU post game

    I was a the game and it was a full house, raucous crowd, lots of fun. The banner raising was joyous - the banner is way over at the end of the rafters across from the UConn bench. Figuring out where the 2026 banner will go is a nice problem to have! All the current players who were on the 2025...

    Geno Auriemma Pregame Media Availability - 11.8.25

    Player availability discussion begins around 22:44. Best news that I took away is that Blanca's injury is apparently not a long term thing. She is almost certainly not playing tomorrow, but sounds like she should be available soon. Also, his comments on Cheli were a bit head-scratching but...

    Success is Failure turned inside out

    UConn will win a lot of games by 30+ points, but we are spoiled if we think they will win every game by 30+ points. They may even drop a game or two, hopefully not in April. But I doubt there will be many games where they shoot 4 for 26 from three. BTW, in defense of the Sultan of Swat, he...

    Parking at xl center

    I like to park in the garage on Trumbull Street near Salute restaurant a little south of Pearl Street. For me it is pretty easy in and out along Bushnell Park and away from the downtown traffic. It is $10. Probably a five minute walk to the arena so if there are concerns in that area you would...

    S Conn exhibition Post game

    I was at the game, and first off a few things about the arena. It is noticeably better. Everything - walls and seats - are in a charcoal grey color and it gives the arena a darker feel, even as the lighting seems better. This is not a criticism, I think it works. The seats, at least our seats in...

    Have season tickets been sent yet?

    My guess is that it is because of the iron bars and railings. Also, on the side of the court opposite to the player's benches there are tv cameras at midcourt just above the first level and that likely limits viewing somewhat in the low seats in the 200s as well. When you are buying tickets...

    Olivia Vukosa to UConn (merged)

    This does not come as a shock, she seems like a perfect fit for UConn and Skim Milkey is seemingly never wrong. UConn is set up for championship level success for the foreseeable future. Now let’s go and get the two remaining elite possibilities. Got my season tix and South Garage parking...

    Ear Bandages

    This thread says to me that we have officially run out of things to talk about and that the season can't start soon enough!

    Have season tickets been sent yet?

    UConn Athletics sent out an email on October 16 indicating paper tickets and parking passes will be received the week of October 20. It is always like this, feels last minute but they arrive in time.

    50/40/90 shooting this year

    The tough one is the 90% for free throws. Paige would have had it easily last year but for the free throws. She was 112 for 126 or .8888. 113 would have gotten her to .8968 which arguably would have been enough, rounded up. 114 would have clearly done it. You could tell when she missed some in...

    Nika myth should be dumped

    Sopron with another lopsided victory in the Hungarian League, this time 92-40 against BEAC -Ujbuda. Solid game apparently for Nika with 13 points on 5-9 shooting (3 for 6 from three), 3 rebounds, 5 assists in 24 minutes. Very strange game in that Sopron only led 30-22 at the half but outscored...

    Nika myth should be dumped

    Well, tough one today as Flammes Carolo (a team KLS played for briefly many years ago) thumped Sopron in a Euroleague matchup, 82-54. Nika did not appear to have a great game with only four points and a rough plus/minus, but she did have seven assists (half of team total). Biggest positive...

    Nika myth should be dumped

    MORE good news from Hungary as Sopron wins, 95-52 over Cegledi after being up 55-22 at halftime. Nika had 10 points on 4-6 shooting (including 2 of 3 from three), 4 rebounds, and ELEVEN assists in 20 minutes of play. Info obtained from flashscoreusa.com. Pretty easy to navigate look for...
