AND also from the big east, mountain west, southern, ivy, etc. ... even abilene christian; maybe even tufts! so what? any team can lose if it plays lousy against a determined group of ncaa athletes -- despite their 'conference,' almighty and fearsome or not. it's a sport, why it's played, and...

i read a maggie story today and saw an assertion that the uconn women have been 'fully healthy for the first time in years.' while the narrative is good, the facts are wrong. media should always get the facts right if the facts are known. in this case, they are. the huskies have not been...

yes, and also kelis, morgan, jovana. a bit awesome.

she did start for a d1 team most of last season ... for the national champs, when she was a freshman, as i recall

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

... 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...

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...

FWIW i have feel this way since november

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...

and in home state with her admirers there. it was damn shame!

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

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.
