You haven’t spent much time on the men’s board, have you? They sometimes seem to have put wiretaps on coaching staff’s phones. And taking a recruit to the Capital Grille in Hartford is Hurley’s tell that they are close to signing the player.

“Everybody sees the 2,000 points, but nobody sees the 2,000 days of hard work.” — Paige Beuckers, BASKETBALL PLAYER, TO SPORTSNET NEW YORK

I think there are a few important differences between Kayleigh and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn had more experience (3 full years) vs Kayleigh's one year, and KC played under Carla, who runs a system closer to Geno's than Lindsay's, so the learning curve was less steep for KC (plus KC is really smart...

It is interesting that the Fever (at 6-6) have eight players in the top 40, but the Lynx (at 11-1) barely have two. A little ballot stuffing perhaps?

Just saw the jersey number announcement for the 2025-2026 newcomers, and it got me thinking. When a UConn player gets inducted to the Naismith HOF, traditionally the player’s number gets retired. Will Morgan have to give up her #23 when Maya gets inducted in September? (Q was using Sue’s #10...

This "stay in the present" has been Geno's mantra for a long time. It looks like Paige actually learned a thing or two from Coach.

When I was younger, I did a lot of 12 oz lifts, but none of those involved filling the bottle. :rolleyes:

I don't know. With that tripping incident at Syracuse, I would add the Orange to that list.

As many of you know, at the end of each season Geno and the coaching staff meets individually with all of the players that will return in the fall and discusses with them what they need to work on over the summer to improve and make bigger contributions next year. If you were in those meetings...

This is where I think averages can be misleading. I agree that in games against most of the Big East teams, the team's average score and MOV will be about the same. Data from years in which Paige was injured seems to back that up. At the same time, the only year the team did not make the Final...
