    Positional Awards announced last night (???)

    No. Sarah had better numbers across the board than Edwards with one exception. Sarah shot 4/16 while Edwards shot 5/14. But when you consider that all of Edwards shots were inside the arc and Sarah shot 2/5 from 3-pt range, that pretty much evens out. With that said, neither Sarah or Edwards...

    A Conscious Design by the NCAA to Allow More Physical Play and Therefore Call Less Fouls in the Final Four?

    In 2013, the NCAA instituted rule 10-14 prohibiting “hand checking” that impeded the movement of players on offense. It was mostly applied to perimeter defense and was clearly designed to improve scoring and eliminate games degenerating into wrestling matches or a constant parade to the foul...

    Statement from Geno

    He apologized to the SC staff. Dawn heads up that staff. I think it’s splitting hairs to suggest that Geno did not apologize to Dawn. He could have listed every SC coach and player in his apology. I’m fine with the fact that he didn’t.

    Statement from Geno

    Nazi salute? Crucified? With all due respect, you seem prone to hyperbole. This discussion is not about the greater problems of the world. There are plenty of other forums where such discussions are appropriate. This is the Boneyard, where fans of UConn WBB discuss all things related to...

    Statement from Geno

    One of the themes that some have raised is that any criticism of Geno by UConn fans is unwarranted, “throwing Geno under the bus” or even a betrayal. While some comments may be harsh, the vast majority of UConn fans who have criticized Geno, myself included, expressed similar thoughts to those...

    Sarah is power forward of the year

    I’ve lost count….really. Is this 7 or 8 national awards for Sarah?

    South Carolina Postgame Thread

    Dawn was most definitely yelling at the refs last year, in addition to dropping F-bombs. We just didn’t have Geno telling us what she was saying, because he didn’t care when his team was up 30+.

    A stake sounds better. Dracula required a stake.

    South Carolina Postgame Thread

    One of Geno’s specific complaints last night was that Dawn was intimidating the refs’ “using language that would get him thrown out of the game.” So why no complaints last year?

    South Carolina Postgame Thread

    Last year when Dawn was firing off F-bombs as UConn destroyed SC, I don’t remember Geno saying anything about it, and I certainly don’t remember anyone on the BY calling for her to apologize. In fact, as I recall, the BY thoroughly enjoyed Dawn’s frustrated profanity.

    You think S*** is the worst word that ever came out of Geno’s mouth, the tough little kid that grew up outside of Philly?

    Statement from Geno

    I doubt it. But I would not doubt that he received feedback from his coaches, family, friends. DT was at the game. She is certainly not afraid to push back against Geno, in her own loving way.

    Kind of hard to believe Geno doesn’t curse at refs considering he had no problem cursing on national tv when Holly Rowe was interviewing him last night.

    Statement from Geno

    I haven’t been a defender of Geno on this until now. We all make mistakes. There is never a wrong time to do the right thing. I applaud Geno for making things right.
