    Game Analysis - NCAA - Game 3 - UConn v. North Carolina

    Toomey played 12 minutes against Maryland. None down the stretch. Maybe she was hurt.

    Syracuse Postgame Thread

    I have a thought as to why Coach Jack MIGHT be showing her unhappiness about the draw. Syracuse beat Virginia by 19 during the regular season yet the Cavs are going to the Sweet 16. I think she would have liked her chances playing Iowa a lot more than having to get the draw she got. Just a...

    Syracuse Postgame Thread

    Ryan Russo understated that the Huskies played their best first half of the year. Visually, statistically, defensively, it could arguably be their best first half ever. The key, I guess, to their unreal defense is the press. Their half court defense without it was not all that great in both...

    Ashlynn Shade is an unsung hero for UConn women's basketball: 'She is the heart of this team'

    Ivey and Noren had to see it. At the time, Shade and Patterson were arguably the top players in Indiana.

    Felisha Legette-Jack merged thread

    Jack is a good coach. Would she be 35-0 with Geno's roster? Probably not. Would Jack have a top ten team if she had Strong and Fudd? Probably. I think her point was that, it is a combination of talented players that make an unusual commitment to defense and team play.

    UConn diaspora

    Had to read the thread to find out what diaspora meant.😉

    Tennessee 2025, part 2

    You seemingly live and die with the three yet you have hardly anybody who can shoot them. I think she can coach but Tennesee is a bad fit. Hockey shift subbing does not work with SEC athletes with corresponding big egos.

    UTSA Postgame Thread

    Playing zone with that much time left and the regulars was, in my opinion, not just a case of calling off the dogs. I think the staff thinks that one of their future opponents is vulnerable against the zone. Whatever the reason, they weren't very good in it. I was surprised by how much they...

    UConn’s Auriemma gets exclusive about his future plans, why he’s so charged up now

    He isn't trying to be the cool grandpa (even though calling his player dude in a timeout makes me wonder. 😊). He is just smart enough to pay attention to what his players need and adapt without compromising his core values. I was one of those who thought maybe his time to stop was near. But...

    UConn stats…. Numbers that almost match….

    Here is one. Sarah is third in minutes played. I realize she missed a game but the gap between Strong and Ash is over 40 minutes. Talk about load management. 😉

    Sarah and Azzi are All-Americans

    Agree with most of the above except there aren’t five better players in my opinion than Jaloni Cambridge. The problem is I don’t know who she replaces. This won’t be a popular take but I think she is better than Blakes. Blakes is good, Jaloni is great. IMO.

    OT: Ines going to the tournament

    Only Zag wearing UConn kneepads. Did all the talking in the huddle. Fearless on defense. She was on the floor most of the fourth quarter. Plus, it looks like she put on about 10 pounds of muscle. Once a Husky...

    Villanova Postgame Thread

    -UConn was less affected by playing three games in three days. Ball handling was a little sloppy but the defense was relentless. -Villanova probably shot their worst percentage all year. They got looks buts could not convert. Tired legs were evident in my opinion. By games’ end, they were...

    Creighton Postgame Thread

    -When Sarah plays like she did in the first half, it is foolish to consider anybody else as NPOY. -KK had a perfect first half and it was ALMOST overshadowed by Sarah’s play. -K9 playing against second teamers in mop up time is unfair because she does not ever go any speed but full. What a...

    Georgetown Postgame Thread

    -Playing a rested UConn team without anytime to prepare was a big ask for Georgetown (I’m not sure any team could answer that call) -Geno calling somebody “dude” during the timeout is one of my favorite moments of the year. -A rare site, a lineup on the floor without K9 or KK. Not sure who...
