GREAT NEWS to report - Nika is back playing with Sopron, nearly three months after she was injured playing for Croatia. Sopron defeated TFSE-MTK on the road in a Hungarian League game, 95-66. Nika had 11 points and 2 assists in 21 minutes. 3 for 6 from the field including 1 for 1 from three...

I was at the game, lots of fans in pink, and a very nice tribute at halftime to breast cancer survivors and those undergoing treatment. We got a little bit of snow in Connecticut today but mainly it is freeeezzzing cold, brutal walk from the parking lot to the arena and back. Good crowd, but...

25+ points every quarter 15+ minutes for Jana and 7+ rebounds 12+ points, 7+ rebounds for Serah Bonus pick - Blanca 15+ minutes

This is a mid-week road game in early February, three days after an exhilarating home win. So the hope is that UConn will guard against a letdown and come out of the gates firing on all cylinders. I think they will but the first quarter will tell. In the 102-35 win earlier this year, no starter...

I'm a gonna beat you by 30 with one hand and a mask on!

I get the arguments in favor of Azzi and Sarah, but I am overjoyed that Allie got the Big East Player of the Week. As Ash said, her game against Xavier was "the greatest thing ever"! Well ok that's an exaggeration, but 10 threes off the bench and the most points by a UConn player off the bench...

A talented team with lack of cohesiveness is certainly part of it. But that talent was on full display in the second quarter and they had enough cohesiveness to have 16 assists on 24 baskets. UConn players may not have been nervous at halftime, but plenty of fans were. Why did things turn so...

Full house in Hartford and lots of energy for the biggest remaining game of the regular season. Tennessee is a very long and athletic team, you could see that right away in warmups, it jumps out at you. There were many times in the game where they had a height advantage at every position. Yet...

According to Maggie Vanoni, Geno said that Blanca will not be available tomorrow and "still needs a few days". So hopefully she will be back for the upcoming home games against Butler and Creighton. She has been wearing a harness on her left shoulder for the entire season. Whatever is going on...

A win here basically insures UConn as the overall number one seed, playing number eight in the Regionals. Like an Iowa. So, basically it gives them the easiest path to the Final Four. They don't even have to win impressively, they just need a win. Once there, the other three most likely teams...

Fun night at Gampel, I really liked Aaliyah’s speech before the game and the tributes she received on scoreboard video from Nika and Paige. Classy. That first quarter was weird but the universe reset itself soon enough. 9 steals by Shade, I loved how UConn was doubling players from behind in...

Shade is the ultimate team player. She is a relentless defender and has an amazing ability to get offensive rebounds by reading the shot off of the rim. Always in motion, but rarely in the wrong spot. Classic example of a player who does positive things that don't show up in the box score. I...

After a lethargic start on the defensive end against Seton Hall, this group will play like their hair is on fire on defense from the jump. Geno will remind them of that, but they won't need much reminding. We don't know about Serah. I'm hoping she plays, even if it is restricted minutes...

She gives off Georgia Amoore vibes. That's not a bad thing.

Olivia should hit the ground running when she gets to UConn. She is already very sound fundamentally, a rarity with a "big" recruit coming out of high school. She keeps the ball high, has very good footwork, finishes with both hands, passes well, appears to run the court very well, and can shoot...
