Allie has no quickness. She would've been eaten alive last night on D. KML wasn't the quickest, but she was an ELITE scorer and a very smart basketball player.

From day 1, my two worries about the 25-26 version of this UCONN team were rebounding(last night was why) and the lack of KK being able to: 1. Score 2. Run a half court offense. Last night we needed a game manager who could both run the offense and knock down shots, which KK can't. We've had...

I'm nobody, but Geno steals 4-5 minutes at the start of each game where Blanca is on the bench, not picking up 1 or 2 early fouls. I think its so smart to have her come off the bench. She immediately changes the game, the porations, and we bring a lot of scoring off the bench with her. No other...

So, in theory, if she isn't protected, Toronto and/or Portland could pick her, but because she's an UFA, she could till sign with NY...but not if she'd been cored twice? Am I getting this right?

Bad shooting + a guard like HH = in inability to press. The two games were grinders(and hard to watch), which we're not accustomed to seeing. I think the rims and the ACC being a grossly underrated and underseeded conference, was why we played like we did and had had the games we played.

1. Rebound 2. Shade, Ziebell, and KK to hit the shots they need to 3. Not play a "grind it" out game

NGL! I thought Jana totally changed the dynamics of that game. So, ya know what, heck yeah, Jana. To come in for the first time in the 3rd quarter and give those impact minutes was awesome. But sis, ya gotta make your FT's.

I just looked at the 3 point shooting in the ND/Vandy box score. ND: 1-17 Vandy: 5-18 That's 14-77 from 3 for all 4 teams. 18%! Yikes

As a UCONN fan that lives in Syracuse and was raised under the shadow of the Carrier Dome, I think FLJ was 100% correct in what she said. There is ZERO reason, besides proximity, that they should be put with UCONN every single NCAAT they play in. That would never be done in the mens tournament...

Yes, but with FAR less overall cost since the games are in one arena and the players are all in one location; so there is no travel. So, they can understand marketing and put more $$ into it since the two biggest costs on W teams are location and travel, or at least I think those are probably...

And, I can't believe Tennessee blowing a lead against Michigan State in the 2005 FF isn't mentioned more. Michigan State was a 5 seed and Tennessee had a SIXTEEN point lead in the second half.

To me, if you're an actual WBB fan that knows the game, picking MSU over UCONN in the FF as the biggest upset is lazy. Every single UCONN fan knew that team was flawed and had no business being that good. They lost 3 AA, the greatest winner in WBB history and were coming off 4 straight titles...

Huh? Paige was out the entire season and Azzi had played in like 25 games in two years. That was only an upset because UCONN was across the chest of the team that lost. Any other program would've been applauded for making the S16 with that level of injury.

Heckel! Totally changed the game in the 3rd quarter
