Two things stick out. It seems like the league finds a reason to not give Geno the COY. Glad to see this year is an exception. Any all-Defensive team that doesn't have Azzi on it is flawed.

I wonder once the team starts facing the other top teams (UCLA etc.) if he will continue to apply full court pressure. The other three number 1 seeds have great guard play and pressing may not have the intended impact. Even more so if he shrinks the rotation. I think he will continue to press...

Love the balanced scoring. Took me three quarters to realize it was a homecoming game for Serah. Talk about rising to the occasion. The game was well over but I still cheered out loud in my living room when Caroline scored.

I honestly think UCLA is more talented this year than UConn. However, Geno made Cori and Dawn look silly in the Final Four last year. I suspect Cori and Dawn will get more of the same this year.

Her shoulder woes are a concern. She has missed approximately 9 games because of it. I am hoping that whatever the issue is will be taken care of in the off season. A full, healthy schedule of Blanca in 26-27 would be a huge plus for the team and a treat for the fans.

Do tap backs to teammates count as rebounds? I love this action for Jana because she impulsively goes over the back for rebounds.

Can you imagine the score if Allie and Azzi shot anywhere near their normal 3 point shooting percentage? I opined that teams were starting to adjust to the UConn press. Providence did not get the memo. Nearly 40 TOs. Yikes. I feel bad for Sarah. That illness is lingering. Props to her...

I did not realize that Tartamella had been there 114 years. LOL. Great job as usual.

Though certainly still a weapon, the press seems to be less effective against well coached teams the second time they see them. UConn presses every game. They change the looks some but there is plenty of video out there to scout and prepare for the pressure. The old adage "if ain't broke...

I have watched a lot of Vandy this year. It is fun because she runs a bunch of UConn stuff. I persuaded of who I root for by who coaches them. I think Denise Dillon, Jan Jensen and Jeff Waltz do a great job. Easy to cheer for. Coach Abe, strongly dislike their style of play. The Big Ten has...

Agree. Plus, I think, overall, UConn has crushed it with portal pickups. I am not overly concerned anymore with recruiting or departures because even though we won't ever know for sure, the list of portal kids that want to come to UConn is lengthy. Most players have dreams of playing in the...

Thanks for sharing. The writer knows his stuff.

If Sascha Washington makes her layups, the horrible officiating would not be a factor. Coach Abe's team does the same thing they did at UCF. Beat the hell out of the other team with the assumption that they won't call everything. And these officials didn't.

Allie has proven that she belongs on the opponent's UConn scouting report. The days of her spotting up in the corner and shooting uncontested 3s are over. She has worked really hard and played well to earn the minutes she is getting. Now the next step in her development is create a mid range...

-Another game that demonstrates the cornerstone of this team is their defense. They seemingly never take plays off. Forced 22 TOs today. —The first half stats showed UConn’s struggles offensively. Outrebounded 22-17 (42-29 for the game), Sarah Strong 1/9 from the field. Allie no shots...
