UConn 101 Butler 52 MOV49

Ok, I understand. It's a communication issue, at least it is to me. It's "first come, first served" not at the arena, which I assumed, but at the box office. What they should be saying is something like, "We have a limited number of seats for disabled patrons, so when they're gone, they're gone...

I have a different question about how they do things at Gampel. My wife is disabled. Sometimes she needs a wheelchair and the rest of the time she walks with a cane. What she cannot do is climb more than two steps. I called to see if there were disability seat tickets for the Notre Dame game...

UConn 83 Iowa 64 MOV 19

I don't do bets, and the expression is not one that was meant to be taken literally. When someone says that, they are respecting the person they're talking about. I used to say the same thing about Pat Summit, but when it came time to predict the results of a UConn-TN matchup, I always predicted...

This is a wonderful team, and it could well run the table all the way to the NCAAs. However if/when it gets to the last rounds, it will be up against some very strong teams. UCLA is better than last year and will try for revenge. SC is strong and will try for revenge. Most of all, Texas has...

UConn 90 Marquette 54 MOV 36

Well, that was kinda an anticlimax. On the one hand, it was fun to see UConn's defense stifle USC. On the other, it just didn't seem like USC had any real weapons, at least in the first half. Blanca was amazing. Sarah had (by her standards) a not-so-good game. It was nice to see Ashlynn get her...

As the game approaches, one thought -- watch out for fouls. If Sarah gets a couple in the first quarter, or even the first half, it may affect her ability to influence the outcome. Same for KK and Ashlynn. UConn is in the other guy's house, and some of those "could have gone either way" calls...

1. No injuries on either side 2. Serah and Bianca continue to show progress 3. Caroline does some scoring

UConn 87 USC 67 MOV 20

Cannot imagine how these rankings happen, but you know what? There are two benefits: -- Maybe they can be used as an incentive for the players; and -- Maybe (not likely, but maybe) an opponent will take UConn's players less seriously. In any case, what will count (if anyone cares) is how the...

I have, but it was years ago, and the place could have been renovated since then, anyway. The arena maps are useless for this purpose. so here's what I propose: My wife and I will be in a very specific place -- Top of Section 202, right next to the walkway around the arena, row WC, seats 5&6 --...

I don't think this is OT....I watched the Villanova vs. W. Va game tonight. Villanova positively dismantled West Virginia (ranked #25, for what it's worth), 81-59. This was the kind of beatdown that UConn usually puts on Villanova. Now, to hear the (admittedly homer) announcers, West Virginia...
