Caroline Ducharme is the one who said it. (" I used to be really good" ...or words to that effect). And she was right on.

Hitting threes is one of Villanova's strong points, and wins them a lot of games. UCONN defense made it tough to get decent looks.

I disagree about Vilanova being gassed by games end. They should have been, no doubt. But I was impressed with their endless hustle. They will be handful next season. Lots of exceptional young players and fine coaching. I would not be shocked to see them make it into sweet sixteen.

Yes. Blanca looked like a raw freshman today. Except on defense, where she was solid. Also, she is not comfortable as a ball handler. Something to work on. She picks up her trouble too fast, in most cases. Which forces a pass that can go astray.

Sorry, this is what I don't get. I have read that ONE article ( discussed "quite a bit?). What more discussion exists beyond that single thread? And what does " it was a strategic decision" mean? I guess I am the only fan who doesn't get the response. You cannot tell me that Gandy would look...

Kelsis is one of the best drivers to the basket we shall ever see. But I don't think she has made an outside shot ( or a 10 footer) all season. That doesn't mean she cannot. It is just the case so far ( at least by my observation ). Wonderful to see Caroline hit a three. And can someone tell...

I would like to add that Sareh Williams did not elbow that Georgetown player in the head. She made a spin move ( elbows going right along ) which caused the Georgetown player to lose her balance and fall. Her injury was when the back of her head smacked hard against the court floor. The slo...

Can anyone inform me as to why Gandy is never even considered for play, regardless of the score? I understand that coach believes "she is not ready yet," whatever that means. She is an athlete; she has played ( successfully) two years of HS basketball in the US, and coach believes she has...

Thank you dog. Very nice.

I agree. I thought ASH was overused in this game. Luckily, she has the fitness to hold up. But few do.

I agree that Blanca is pretty far pff her best game still. I don't think she ever belongs in the post. Sarah can play it with Blanca on a wing. But UCONN will need Williams or Jana ( if not both) to give some valuable minutes when the going gets tough. Sarah can't do it all, every game.

Jana is still too slow to react once she receives the ball. Often, this results in stopped ball movement and a tie-up. She needs to either go to the basket or pass it to an outlet. But she needs to know much quicker, what her options are.

II also think KK and Kaleigh are under the weather. Tempo is a step off.

I think the post position is a true concern. Serah haas been average and Jana still doesn't move the ball well, or protect it correctly. She was all alone with the ball, then raised it up so defenders could tie her up. About 5 times, it seemed.. It would not surprise me, assuming Blanca is...
