IMHO, Geno doesn't have to apologize to Dawn if he doesn't want to, but he might consider saying something to the SC players. Regardless of the kind of game they played (and yes, there was some serious mugging going on) they had game plan and stuck to it, with great results. There is absolutely...

Just to follow up, the ND game was called by Ryan and Rebecca, and I thought they were outstanding. Ryan calls the plays and both mostly stuck to the game in front of them. I realize the fact that it was a close game made this more necessary, but after the two hours of awfulness delivered in the...

Just a couple of thoughts that probably will just echo what's already been said: -- I thought Azzi played distracted. There were at least three ill-advised passes that ND easily picked off. Also, whoever was guarding her did, IMHO, a great job keeping her from being very open. -- Blanca was...

I know that knocking the TV "commentators" is a sporting event here on the BY, but I have to say I have never been as angry with announcers as I was last night during he NC game. If they called 10% of the actual plays in the game, I'd be surprised. They trotted out every stale story about every...

UConn 84 ND 71 MOV 13

UConn 86 NC 53 MOV 33 I second the thought: No injuries!

UConn 83 Syr 64 MOV 19

Questions for those of you who have gone to these games in the past: 1. I'm assuming we don't know whether UConn is Fri-Sun or Sat--Mon until the seeding show. Is that correct? 2. In the past how quickly have tix gone on sale after the seeding announcement? 3. How hard was it to get said tix...

I kinda hope that, no matter who is better, and no matter how much an undefeated season means, that those wonderful folks at the NCAA decide that UCLA's strength of schedule trumps UConn's undefeated season, and UConn gets ranked second for the tournament. The motivation value would be off the...

UConn 88 Villanova 50 MOV 38

My recollection of the Senior Day photo in which KK was crying, posted here on the BY, is that over to the left, another player was being consoled with a big hug from Jana. Totally in character for her.

Getting away from the technical discussion, which I have a very hard time following, I almost hope that UConn is given the second 12 seed., much like last year. It's the kind of motivator that your can't have enough of.

What Eric said.

I agree. Not 100% play by play, but a lot better than most we've been forced to endure this year. Ellison was not bad, either. Not the best, but more than ok, IMHO.

I'm with BigBoote on "downhill." Everyone has been saying it, and it has absolutely no meaning at all. At first, I thought it meant a play where the player with the ball makes it look so easy it appears she's got gravity on her side. That at least makes some sense. But then I've seen it used...
