Underlying all of those very good reasons are why those things occur: Depth Superior talent Best Coach in WCBB Teamwork, Culture Hard practices High expectations Full throttle all the time

Any scenario that involves Texas v. South Carolina in the other semifinal, and one of them having to get by Michigan to get there, is fine with me.

60% plus from the field including 50% plus from three 20 plus steals Caroline back in action 10 plus minutes

I realize that UConn shot over fifty percent from the floor, but it didn’t feel that way. I think the reason is that virtually all of the shots they are getting are open shots from the outside or layups in close, some contested. This bodes well, the offense is working well to create good looks...

At the open practice I attended right before Thanksgiving, there was a lot of scrimmaging and Gandy was on the team with the male practice players. That is getting her some good reps against Serah and Jana. She is not working with her teammates in game simulated situations and learning defensive...

I don't think that works in a non-injury situation since she has already played two games.

Thanks for that excellent write up! I have not seen a minute of Iowa basketball this season, but another option Geno will likely use to combat the size of Iowa will be to go to his smaller lineup and make it a full court game. That was essentially the strategy that won the National Championship...

I was at the game and although it was not a sellout, it was a pretty enthusiastic crowd by Hartford standards, especially given the lack of students in attendance. I was surprised at how lethargic Marquette played. I know that UConn had much to do with it but unlike Marquette teams of the past...

I'm guessing Paige is not a huge Jethro Tull fan

We might see a big lineup from time to time that could possibly include Blanca at the two and Sarah, Big O and Jana up front. Try getting a rebound against that group.

UConn was behind 9-8 with 5:14 to go in the first quarter. They were up 32-11 until a basket by USC made it 32-13 with 2:50 to go in the second quarter. So, over a stretch of over 12 minutes, USC scored two points. To me, that was the story of the game. UConn left quite a few points on the...

Great analysis as always, much appreciated! However, I doubt that USC will score 67 points. UConn's defense is ferocious. USC scored 59 against Washington (at home, including a four point first quarter), 59 against Notre Dame, and 52 against South Carolina. Davidson is a great player, but she...

The open practice on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was spent mostly on controlled scrimmages against the red jerseyed male practice players. Gandy was mostly wearing the red jersey and working with the "practice player team". She was the only one doing so. So she was getting some practice...

Actually Saylor was a year behind those players but graduated high school early and enrolled at UConn in January 2021. A few other high school players did that as well, I think Olivia Miles was one, since the 2020-2021 Covid year did not (and does not) count against eligibility. It was basically...

Very happy for former UConn player Saylor Poffenbarger, who hit the winning shot for Maryland - a tough layup with about 10 seconds left - in the double OT win over Minnesota, giving her 30 points for the game. Maryland was down 5 with 19 seconds to go in the first overtime, and by 9 with 44...
