I was at the game though a bit down with long C A few points: -Serah’s strong game did not exactly start at the beginning…She was pulled early after some less than stalwart D but when she came back…if not exactly a terror, a very aggressive, competent post…Either some one gave her notes on the...

Do I not recall, that as a 2-seed last season, we played a one-seed in the elite-8 and two #1’s in the final-4. I can’t imagine that this season’s matchups will be (theoretically) as challenging as that…regardless of committee bias (if there is any) Of course, in reality, any matchup might be...

I’ve watched the last three games (with a jaundiced eye) in an attempt to decipher the workings of UTenn’s offensive sets (other than the line changes) and have come to the conclusion that (essentially) there aren’t any. There is absolutely no mid-range game; zero, zip. -it’s either: force...

If one of the company’s that broadcast UConn BB hired Kenny Albert Then we would return to the good-ole, old-fashioned method of calling games…describing the action; who the fouls are on, substitutions, game trends, relevant stats... It would be a major relief...

The Serah issue continues: I counted at least 3x when she received the ball in favorable position, close to the hoop...was virtually unguarded, hesitated; to zero avail. And on one particular missed shot, where the rebound went towards the far corner…surely within her reach…she just watched it...

Well, it was Kenny Albert He learned from his dad how to call a game (Speaking of Olympic Hockey)

OT: (somewhat) Watching the US/Canada hockey game…the announcer calls the game in the old style…you can visualize what is happening just by listening…. maybe a slight homer…but good accurate calling of the game…refreshing

Looking ahead Tony. Obviously, no year is exactly the same but our prospects are excellent. Looking ahead to next season With luck…a dominating inside presence and a special, grown-up guard (even if young in years) bodes well…even despite the loss of Azzi A lot to look forward to.

A word about Sarah’s illness…all comparative experience and conjecture…no Holiday Inn Express analysis. My wife and I returned from Italy just prior to the 1st of the month in perfect health after 3 weeks of skiing in the Dolomites... Just two days after arriving in NY, was in bed with Covid...

You can’t see much in the box score but in the first part of the 3rd quarter, especially when Sarah got her 4th, Blanca made some good plays on both sides and helped steady the ship. It’s been a few games now that Kayleigh hasn’t been much help; too bad. And the Serah story continues…if...

UTenn seems to have a limited offense…3’s from the corner, force your way into the paint and crash the boards. Ole Miss won the overall rebounding battle…It’s true, UTenn took more shots, but missed most of them. The best teams run pretty sophisticated offenses these days, Tennessee seems...

Ole Miss played competent BB, UTenn didn’t.

A few points: I love Kayleigh’s game…she came in and made a remarkable pass to Ash who inexplicably fell and ruined the assist…but thereafter: committed a dumb foul and in overplaying, let 2 players race by her for uncontested layups…I wonder if Geno will modify her style in this regard or...

Although no one on UConn would ever admit it, I’m sure some of them are already mentally subconsciously looking ahead a bit to the post season as we creep closer to March. ------- Let me put it another way….The last couple of games they’ve seemed a bit bored at times…The BE coaches, no slouches...

Geno’s in a really good place with this team
