maybe because of nika's presence. it was huge.

yes, that was very apparent at this presser. was it at others? gotta be sympathetic. i suspect he sustained some specific, recent injury rather than a chronic condition. after all, he's only 71 y.o. (or is it 72?). the chronic stuff hopefully will be avoided for years to come. 🤥 watching him...

give credit to ash in that the shots she takes are always good looks (except for the occasional drive) but she would be truly phenomenal if she shows better, consistent shot-making (esp. because she is great at taking only the aforementioned good, open shots). it's bizarre (and frustrating) that...

the players, i assume, are aware of how attractive (or not) they are even if the fans are oblivious -- insensitive beasts, they don't have to endure wearing the crap! image does count (imagine that). especially for young people who are much viewed by many people on freakin' national tv...

better make that 'last game in APRIL'

yes, that's on the voters in these awards/recognitions. the fault is solely on them, not the uconn - geno approach to the game. it's a bummer that the players pay such a price for being true to the admirable 'team-comes-first' ethic.

seems dangerous as well. why poke the uconn injury curse. i am still paranoid about that.

geno is wise. he wants to hide gandy from the eyes of hungry poachers. if they don't see her, they won't be aware of her potential. why tempt savage thieves? and uconn doesn't need her to play a meaningless minutes in games; she's more challenged in practices.

obviously. geez.

no thanks\\ i am quite sure many will think my sentiment is horrible. i don't agree.

those are rationalizations. the important point, it seems to me, is that mulkey is disrespecting the SPORT and FANS by INTENTIONALLY playing as many non-competitive teams as possible. i am amazed the media, coaches and the public let her skate on this conduct. plus, her players -- many of...

clearly, geno wants to bring blanca off the bench (with K9) because she "does it all" as the ultimate game changer. it's the obvious, right strategy. when nykesha sales was a highly-rated, talented frosh she was reserved for that role, subbing in for the steady, unflashy senior, pam webber. it...

i hope this doesn't intrude on the blanca discussion. but i want to draw attention to your point about allie -- which i haven't seen mentioned before in any thread. i hope it has been and i just missed it. it. is one of her talents that allie has displayed this season. it is extremely...

or 2 or 3 quarters

are you saying being fearful and panicked are the only ways to break a foe's will? if so, i disagree. that may be preferred, even inevitable, in war, but is not needed in a basketball game. it is overkill there. fear and panic are not needed (and IMO despicable) to break a team's will in a...
