    How UConn landed Jovana Popovic

    that was exactly the problem! 🌟 making shots clearly is the objective of the offense, but it's not accomplished in a vacuum. many things contribute, such as gaining control of the ball and getting it to the right shooter in the right spot. that's discounted when we are repeatedly told ripping...

    How UConn landed Jovana Popovic

    this isn't about nika; it's about using the language correctly and not reinforcing the idea that scoring is the only way to contribute to offense in BB, i thought i made that clear. sorry it rankled u. BTW, this is a thread about jovana. connolly brought nika into the conversation ... at...

    How UConn landed Jovana Popovic

    Popovic is likely to draw some comparisons to Mühl, a native of nearby Croatia — but with more offense. ERROR ALERT: connolly perpetuates the falsehood that if you don't put the ball through the hoop you don't contribute offence. that is clearly false and a writer should not be fostering...

    Question for the board

    can we have a ruling on this (from someone who actually knows! the answer)

    Jovana Popovic Commits to UConn

    getting a glimpse of a few film clips, jovanna's fluid movement was stunning, incredible. the stats and accolades are great too, but she reminds me of paige in her ability to get to where she wants so smoothly and seemingly effortlessly. geno said paige moved like water ... an accurate metaphor...

    Michigan Postgame Thread

    actually, allie's minutes were largely in 'crunch time' and i think that was highly significant. she did her job under pressure. hope geno gives her more chances to prove herself.

    Is Michigan the Best opponent

    this is the only threat -- aside from a major return of the injury typhoon -- to an undefeated season. if multiple players don't can the easy shots they normally would, the team could lose to any hot team that turns confident. this is highly unlikely this year, but it's the only way even the...

    tOSU Postgame Thread

    but ... the better player doesn't always get the prize. azzi's got stiff competition and her past performance hasn't been good enough to be AA. she must prove herself over the course of her final year, and consistency has not been a strong suit to date. that matters. she also has the problem...

    OT: WVAU wins 57 to 49 with 5 eligible players

    my main thought: it's time to reassess kara's head coaching abilities. she was a great announcer though. maybe she should have stuck with that..

    Was Allie Over-looked?

    well, i wouldn't be amazed if she achieves it with last season's champion at some point this season! 😁

    Loyola Postgame Thread

    don't u think that the truly formidable teams will do that too? uconn had better deal with the missed bunnies issues -- if it's a problem v. the cupcakes it surely will be a problem against the cream of WCBB. we should ignore this?

    Loyola Postgame Thread

    wow! those who didn't use their tix must be living on easy street -- and don't care a fig for fans who would love to fill their seats. pretty thoughtless & selfish if they didn't decide to give up their tix. but maybe i'm mssing something -- i'd be happy to hear another side of the story.

    5 Thoughts while waiting for Loyola

    crazy random thought: blanca in time will show as the clone of Catch, though a bit taller. not too shabby, but i may not around to say 'i predicted it'.

    Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award - FSU game

    if i were a USC fan, i'd be outraged and disgusted the trojans were unable to retain her services. horrible, just horrible! HUGE mistake. ... since i am not a fan of any LA-based team and a huskies backer, i am very grateful. someone said in a BY post that most here weren't expecting K9 to be...
