Just an observation, not necessarily a preference: all other things being equal, a Stanford defeat could reduce Tara's total wins lead over Geno.

Great interview with Joy Reid. Discussing the contents would probably get me in troubles with the mods but it is well worth a listen. Includes some comments on her team owner, her own activism and more.

And then there's this... Wagstaff (Groucho Marx): "Have we got a stadium?" Professors: "Yes." Wagsraff: "Have we got a college?" Professors: "Yes." Wagstaff: "Well, we can't...

And Boston University on the other side,

Not for nothing, but I suspect the chances of something CNN reported being true are slightly higher than the chances for something a poster on a sports forum comes up with. I could be wrong, mind you: I'm just another poster, and I don't have a medical degree (and perhaps you do).

Not for nothing, but by the time they are out of basketball, the head of human resources and the head of the company might have tattoos themselves. Not my thing, but then beards weren't our parents thing andshowing an ankle wasn't our grandparents' thing. Or am I dating myself?

I haven't seen anything definitive, but I doubt that getting on a plane in the UK would help much if one were travelling on a passport from a blacklisted country. [ ]

Candor does not always equal snark. Geno respects the game (and the players) enough to be honest. Amd lots of teams show up for the tournament without thinking they will win it all. The more experience they get at tournament play the more they'll be ready for next year.

William of Orange famously said "one need not hope in order to undertake nor succeed in order to persevere." YMMV, but I do not read Hoopsfan22's post as a uggestion that we stop being fans or stop hoping for improvement. It seems like the sort of thing Geno himself would say (and has said)...

Be not so sure. A work colleague once remarked that I had a brilliant future behind me. He turned out to be right, though it took a couple years for me to acknowledge it and move on.

When Katie Lou Samuelson played against sister Karlie in the 2017 tourney, their father and older sister wore specially made "Stan-Conn" T-shirts which showed each team's logo with that daughter's number under it. Elsewhere, their father once suggested he could wear a UConn hat with a...

If I'm not mistaken, Fox owns the Big East TV rights but is sub-leasing them to CBS/CBSSN. Some questions to keep in mind, even if er can't know the answers yet: --What would UConn share of the Fox/CBS package bring in? --Would ESPN try to keep UConn in the AAC by cutting UConn a bettter...

Been saving this one for a slow week. One of the Big Dance's features is 1-and-done, all the waay from the round of 64 to the national championship. What would change if the championship was best-of-three? Or if the final four was round-robin? We often hear that "Team X was just better that...

Depends on what you value most: a legend who admires her from afar or a friend who knows her and (I'm guessing) has been with her through thick and thin.
