    Striker ?! Please Stop

    was the word 'sniper' mispronounced? never heard "spiker" applied on a basketball court.

    Players tick me off when . . .

    ... they routinely miss foul shots, make sloppy passes, don't protect the ball, blow layups or putbacks when unguarded, or are careless or unfocused. Luckily, the Huskies don't tick me off often. And when they do the above things, the team is so good it still wins the game about 90% of the...

    Player of the year?

    does anyone know how these various NPOY awards are determined? and who votes, if there is a vote? or does some board or czar of the organization make the pick? if we knew, placing the blame/praise for each of the award picks would be more edifying. thank you

    For the nostalgics, recommend watching an early season 1998 game against UCLA

    hope that crew of refs have hung it up. they spoiled the game with stoppages and unnecessary foul calls.

    Azzi Fudd’s family bought a cottage for her UConn career. Now they’re saying goodbye to CT.

    well, this piece shows a thief where to lift a lot of valuable loot. sure hope the duffys have decent security at their place. 🏡 🐈‍

    What Does Today's Texas - Tenn Game Say About a Future Texas - UConn Matchup?

    i will point out that trying to prove a prediction is always meaningless. nobody can know what's happening in the future. predictions are just opinions, which can't be proved or disproved, just contested. thank god, because there would be no drama or speculating (which are fun) if the future is...

    Marquette Postgame Thread

    if 'that jana' -- assuming your assesment of her pre-injury play is near to accurate -- revives then WOW. the team sure would enjoy such a jana. but "that jana" has not recovered yet. if such a player once existed, why haven't uconn's hall of fame coaches succeeded in bringing her forth after...

    Vandy Takes Down TX

    perhaps the loss of pierre was addition-by-subtraction (chemistry-wise)

    DePaul Postgame Thread (merged)

    she had a slump in fact -- why be blind to it? just be thankful she has whipped it for now and hope she'll beat it in the future. ... BTW, sometimes all players experience slumps. even D, stewie, and paige; maya? maybe not.

    Sarah Strong is a mystery. The UConn star is also the best player in America

    think you have factor in uconn's coaches, style of play and ... heritage, tradition

    Allie the defender

    as i recall, morgan (tuck), ashja jones, kalana greene, diana, nika, kelly faris and many other huskies weren't astonishingly quick but all did well defensively because they knew how to play defense with tenacity. unfortunately, only a few have the quickness of kk, mojeff, ketia swanier (or hh)...

    Caroline as Assistant Coach

    all this commentary, chatter among BYers -- makes no difference whether carol wants to be a coach ... and being a coach for grade-schoolers might satisfy her. it's her life. i hope it's all she desires.
