Ice and Ayanna were both top 5 recruits in their class. Both stayed at UConn for 4 seasons. There was only one game during their 4 years where they each played minutes in the same game. It occurred this season against Florida State. A crazy statistic. Ice appeared in 73 games, Ayanna in 60...

I’m genuinely curious what a realistic outlook on next season would even be? Is Tennessee going to have to throw crazy money at players only interested in money? Will they end up with a collection of players who otherwise would have never had the talent to land at such a program? How do you even...

I hope Olivia gets the starting role and a lot of minutes from day one. She’s the player with the most potential coming in, and it would be nice to spend the full year building her up to be ready for March. Heckel, Shade, Blanca, Strong, Olivia I think Heckels offseason is one of the most...

This season was interesting. I was surprised when the team didn’t miss a beat losing Paige. But as the season unfolded, I was concerned with how the national landscape was playing out. You could see a top 4 with a massive drop off to the 5th best team. Each of South Carolina, UCLA, and Texas...

Also could be a game where Geno goes big with Blanca replacing Shade. That would allow Azzi to match up with Latson and Blanca to add size against the shooting of Tessa Johnson.

Looks like Caldwell took them from Rocky Top to rock bottom.

I thought Ziebel helped open the floor when she was in the game vs Serah or Shade. Jana also came up with some huge minutes in Q3. I thought ND had a great defensive game plan to force Azzi left at all costs and double Strong. It worked for a while and thankfully Blanca was up to the challenge...

Hidalgo with an all time performance. Blakes looked very nervous in the first half. Ended 7/26 from the floor, yikes. Credit to ND, never expected them to be in this position.

I’m really expecting the ACC and Big 12 to be exposed outside of their top teams.

A random thought I had while watching Ayanna Patterson get some extra minutes in her home state: Patterson and Ice Brady are the only members of the 2022 recruiting class, they are in their 4th year on the team, and I’m pretty sure they’ve only both played in the same game once. Earlier this...

Let’s say hypothetically the WNBA agrees to massive salary increases and the revenue sharing the players are seeking. But in return wants to implement a stricter prioritization rule, where the W has exclusive rights to players and rostered players can’t play in other leagues during the...

She’s been pretty good so far in my eyes. She is finding shots, finding teammates, rebounding, and taking care of the ball. She’s been pretty cold shooting, the only area that’s been challenging. I’m sure some of that is in response to more athletic defenses, plus nobody on the team finds her...

Really pleased to see Stewart with an efficient 25 point season opener. She looked crisp coming off a knee procedure between unrivaled and training camp.

I sometimes forget Plum was a similar offensive player to Clark. And her 3 ball is so much better now than in college. I think this move allows her to be the featured player and she’ll be a big time scorer. Great for the league because the clumping of top talent made the league very top heavy...

That was a tough watch. Was happy to see Paige score early and hit some midrange. But most of her shot attempts were contested 1v1 plays. Dallas has very little if any ball movement. Watching the game I was adjusting from UConn ball back to the W style. But watching LA vs GS I was reminded it’s...
