Great event, couldn't figure out why they had a game in the middle of it! :eek: (My one gripe, was I thought those blown glass tropies for CD and Geno were really cheesy.) Great to see Azzi on the court Great to see Sarah drain one three, and then repeat that three times. Thought Chen plaid...

After Geno's comment, that poor goat had to stand on that red carpet until about 3 AM this morning when he finally did his business and was allowed back home. He and his handlers were not happy about it, but it did make the night watchman's job less tedious.

Some of this is old news, but they are great articles unfortunately probably behind a pay wall from the Athletic (maybe they give you a story or two for free.) I also enjoy almost all the comment sections - they must have good admins editing out the trash, like we have here on the BY!) On #1217...

Thought ESPN took an interesting route to get to their top 12: https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/42497031/geno-auriemma-uconn-ncaa-coaching-record-most-wins-biggest-victories

I grew up loving the Boston Celtics of the 60s, so a little different. I liked that era of Men's basketball, but as the free agency and skills of the men sort of outgrew the game I just got bored with it. Then my dad got me watching the Uconn women whenever I came back to visit, and I fell in...

Do we include the March 23, 1991 win against Clemson at the Palestra in Philly to start the record 23 Final Fours? I think that was the year Geno and CD realized they could actually succeed at Uconn. Next season Rebbeca arrived and ...

I think Aubrey would require NCAA approval, because I believe the 4 in 5 years, and 5 in 6 years (covid) rule is still on their books. It is usually a formality to get that approval but one never knows for sure.

Tried to do this as a PM with Nan, but the system rejected the message as 'spam or inappropriate content' Not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but for the last maybe 10 days, at sort of random intervals, a boneyard page will suddenly switch to either a 'captcha - are you a robot' page...

1217 1217 1217 (and Uconn playing pretty basketball would be a bonus:cool:)

Yeah - BadAss is supposed to honor the player who was a positive tough surprise as opposed to the MVP. Sounds like Ice to me. Played a really good game in the 'giving better than she got' category with the banging and clogging. Would like to see this award getting back to its origins. :)

I am surprised that in the new college environment more HS players aren't holding off on signing until they see what happens with the portal. The college landscape is very different on May15, than it is on Nov15. Not only are more coaches moving as ADs are actually looking for results, but...

Surprised at the less than complementary comments on Chen. In a game where most of the Uconn players couldn't hit a barn door, she, Ice, and Paige (and Jana) were the only players at 50% from the field and she also was the only one who shot 100% from the line. She would have gotten a lot more...

Thanks for doing these - it is great to read them. CD is always interesting and they get pretty good interviews from the players - better than the TV usually.

Cool plan, great wife! I think early Feb, the best option is being in downtown Hartford because you never know what the weather will be like - these days it could be sunny and 70, or spitting snow and sub-zero. Not sure where you business is taking place, but a combination of Amtrak, CTrail...

It is interesting, but as far as experience, how many teams out there have any players who have started a FF game. Ice, Shade,and KK may be 'only sophomores' but they have experience in high pressure games, and while Chen is new to this program she got a lot of experience in her 4 Princeton...
