another rapid-fire talker (a huskies tradition) and i expect K9 will be a hit with the (shrinking) horde. really impressive is the absence of hmmms, ummms and other fillers in her speech. and only a soph! .... i wish she would release a smile more often ... CD can resolve that.

defense is a 'whole team' proposition

CC is a foregone conclusion (if she's healthy). If she's not picked, the whole of wbb may collapse, after all. ☹️😵☹️ that is really unfortunate because she doesn't need a threat from fans or media (especially social media). Even though CC in fact earns a spot on team usa, the threat of outrage...

I swear, this is not OT. (Maybe a bit.) If this has been brought up before, I’m sorry. Missed it. What was Dawn Staley thinking when dressing for her important game on April 7, 2025, the NCAA championship? If you forgot, her sweater, or whatever it was she wore, screamed “LV.” When I first saw...

caroline is azzi's 'best friend' and was in their freshman year? that's news to me. nice to get those insights.

good golly, it would nice if Nika herself was made aware of these glowing -- and right-on -- comments. i hope someone who knows how to contact nika tips her off (as well as her family -- assuming it won't fuel sibling rivalry with her sisters, hana and paige ☺️). "o" might be influenced as well.

i think it's clear that nika was a huge asset on defense, as oldude emphasized (i assumed i didn't imply otherwise -- i certainly didn't intent that) and loved bone dog's contribution. i didn't note this in my OP, but i think nika's most outstanding virtue was the energy and fire that she...

In the stats thread (OP @DavidinNaples) there was a comment that struck me: “... did Nika's defensive prowess make up for her offensive liability ...” This was not a core point. It was posted in passing, for illustrative reasons. That’s OK. But it also irked me a bit because: I think it...

the only thing i am seriously worried about -- excluding a return of the injury plague that's running wild due to the rugby-ification of the sport in the sorry attempt to grab more TV gold -- is trouble with this new team's chemistry. that could destroy all our dreamlike speculations. it seems...

kind of like arike

yeah, but the rowdy young crowd would be replaced by us ancient BYer types, and the players would stick around, having a ball with the hilarity of geno's suit ... it would be glorious!

what a terrific idea. love it. ... especially geno in a tux. wow! ... uconn shows off its creativity, willingness to innovate and, especially, class. 👌

i still have one of those for a sept game -- the last game The Mick ever played in. ... there were only a couple of games left in the season, and i had no idea i would be witnessing his final at-bat. he popped up or something similarly forgettable. ... don't know why mantle never played again. i...

perhaps an AI gambit -- trolls at work
