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...

UConn 93 GTown 48 MoV 45

During the Villanova game, at one point a foul was called on a Villanova player. No shooting, just a ball turnover. Think the announcer explained what happened? Nope, and it was not readily apparent to viewers (at least not to me) what had happened. Just suddenly, UConn had the ball back, and...

Olde Coach's posts were amazing to read. Was it really 12 years ago when he passed away? Wow.

I'm not pushing a panic button here, but I have concerns. I remember all too well when UConn cruised into the NCAAs with a fantastic record and lost to Vic Shaefer and MSState in the last seconds. In an different year, I was among those in Denver suffering though a heartbreaking loss to Notre...

UConn 91 PC 52 MOV 39

I don't understand how announcers are bring coached or trained these days. It is okay to not call every move of every play, but not to call none of them. If you are in the second seat, your job is not to fill every second of air with blather when the other one is catching a breath. Have we...
