I was there and it was worth it. Rough guess, probably about 800 people in the lower sections across from the benches. 13 players were full participants. Cheli was there, no boot, Brady was there with a brace on her right knee. Neither participated. In case there was any doubt, Caroline is a...

I am scheduled to go to an open practice at Gampel on Wednesday November 26 at 4 pm. If the team has left for Thanksgiving, they should at least let me get some shots up!

After the narrow escape on Friday, the somewhat lethargic crowd seemed content to sit back and enjoy things on a Sunday afternoon. But UConn was more than capable of creating its own energy and intensity on the defensive end. They really get after it. As Oldude noted, we have a lot of very good...

I thought the key play was calling time out with 42 seconds left and a lead that had dwindled to three. Geno drew up a masterful play that got Sarah a layup with 26 seconds left. Up five, 68-63. We needed Azzi’s foul shots to go in from that point but the most important possession of the game...

Sometimes a team will be blown out early by the speed and pace of the 2025-2026 team. Lousiville was down at the end of the first quarter by 25-9. (To their credit, they cut into a huge lead in the second half.) Sometimes it will wear a team down over the course of the game. OSU hung tough in...

This young woman and her injuries have caused me and many others a whole lot of agita over the last five years. The video of the Croatia versus Greece FIBA game is on Youtube. Nika was having a spectacular game. 21 points and 7 assists. This is obviously not good news. But if you watch the...

I was at the game. Good crowd, good atmosphere. Ohio State is a decent opponent with speed at the guard position that will give many teams fits. Not great inside overall although Kitts has potential. Losing McMahon was a big blow to them. For me, it was great to see a more assertive Serah and...

Croatia is playing Denmark today. Nika is not playing although she is there at the end of the bench in "street clothes". I can't discern much. That she is there makes me think (hope) that the worst possibilities are off the table. The game is being broadcast as a live feed but there are no...

If you google Croatia versus Greece FIBA or something similar, youtube videos of the full game and of highlights should both pop up.

Nika is currently playing for the Croatian National team and she led them to a 76-73 win over Greece, scoring a game-high 21 points (her career high at UConn was 19) and 7 assists. 4 of 5 from three! Denmark up next. This is a FIBA Eurobasket 2027 qualifying tournament although I don't have all...

I was at the game, which was announced as a sellout although there were some no shows, actually mostly in the lower bowl, too bad that some of those brand new widened seats went empty. Student section was full. UConn’s defense is ahead of the offense. The third quarter was particularly...

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...

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.

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...

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...
