Also of note is Creme’s UConn lineup which has Kayleigh starting at pg over KK. I suppose that could happen, but it’s highly unlikely.

I’m a “glass half full” guy, and the Huskies doggy bowl is considerably more than half full when it comes to pg. Just about every other team in the country would love to have all the options to run the point that Geno has at his disposal. The best coaching staff in WBB will get Kayleigh and...

Thin at pg? Yea, I get that Paige & Kaitlyn are gone. But KK, Kayleigh, Kelis and yes even Azzi can all play pg….. and oh by the way Sarah could play the point forward role, a la Gabby, and run the offense if she had to.

Geno commented that the coaches wanted to specifically use 3-4 different lineups yesterday, including the one that started the 2nd half (Azzi, Sarah, Serah, Blanca & Kayleigh). If you think about last season, there was the starting lineup and then Geno would sub in the small lineup, which was...

Watkins is SC’s biggest loss imo. As a freshman, she could be absolutely dominant coming off the bench.

Slight correction. Last year we played UCLA in the national semifinals.

That looks about right. Anyone that doesn’t have the Huskies #1 in their preseason poll isn’t paying attention.

One thing that was very apparent from yesterday’s game is that just about every Husky, not named Azzi Fudd, is aware of where Azzi is on offense at all times and ready to get the basketball to her whenever possible. Azzi floats around the 3-pt line until a teammate finds her for a catch and...

Rewatching some of the highlights this morning. There was one play that rose to the level of a “thing of beauty” which I must comment on. In the 2nd half, Kayleigh fired a pass across the top of the zone to Blanca, who immediately fired a pass into Sarah in the high post, who then turned and...

That Serah started today and played well is indicative that she’s already ahead of Ice on the depth chart and possibly Jana, although Jana is just getting back into the swing of things coming off an injury.

Only 2 thoughts at this early point in the season: 1. Last year the Huskies lost to Columbia in their preseason game, on their way to a national championship, so not too worried about the mistakes today. 2. UConn played 14 different players today, which represents one hell of a lot of...

Various studies indicate that female athletes are anywhere from 2 to 8 times more likely to suffer knee injuries than male athletes. Unfortunately, I doubt that makes Chloe Kitts feel any better.

I feel your pain. Before this past season, the Huskies faced several years where they didn’t have enough players for practice, let alone a sufficient rotation for games. But the players that Dawn has healthy are pretty darn good. They will all play a few more minutes and I have no doubt that...

This is terrible news. Ever since the recent photo of Kitts in a knee brace surfaced, everyone has been holding their breath. Hoping that Kitts recovery and rehab goes well and she’s back at 100% next season.

Terrible news. I know that SC fans had their fingers crossed ever since a recent photo of Kitts wearing a knee brace showed up.
