    You’re welcome, Big East

    What I wanted to add to my previous post which I could, not due to time constraints, I will add here. The problem with trying to compare W/L records also depends on the number of teams played that are capable of knocking them off if they have an off game. Most people know that when teams are...

    You’re welcome, Big East

    I really do not believe that playing in the Big East hurt UConn this season. In fact it might have helped them. The only way playing in the Big East would hurt them is in the tournament seedings and their unbeaten record got them the #1 seed. The teams they played before they got to the final...

    Final 2025-26 AP poll

    Texas should have finished #2 They were the only team to beat UCLA and beat SC twice with the last win a total blowout. Just because they were in the final should not have elevated them from forth to number 2 based on the total beat down UCLA put on them. Beating UConn should not have elevated...

    Why Final Four loss can give UConn women’s basketball the edge it lacked this season

    Match ups and how officials call the games have always influenced the outcome of games. Its what all teams much face in the NCAA tournament. Its not a perfect system but it is what it is. The reality was that UConn got the easiest road to the final four based on their top ranking. SC was the...

    How good is UConn

    For all objective purposes, UConn was a mystery this season. They could have been anywhere from One to Four in comparison to the top four teams. The reason being their lack of playing teams that even had a chance to beat them if they were playing less than stallar games.

    ESPNW's way too early top 25. Guess who's #1

    Just because the team she was on built the offense around her does not mean she would not be amenable to playing in a more balenced system. She obviously was not happy in a system where she was the offense or she would not have entered the portal. Her focus might now be to win which the system...

    ESPNW's way too early top 25. Guess who's #1

    If Cooks were to join one of the top teams it would make a huge difference.

    Simply the Best

    As too which coach, in the final four, did the best job of preparing and coaching her team, the final score reveals the answer and it wasn't Close.

    WBNA Playoffs - here we go!

    Vages coach and players say they lacked focus and the fever were. When I watched the team celebrating Wilsons MVP award they looked like a bunch of teenage school girls. I kew them they were not approaching the game as they should. The Aces, after their second win ain a row seemed to have lost...

    WBNA Playoffs - here we go!

    I believe basketball is the wierdest sport in respect to consistency. Even the best players will have off nights. The thing is with the lIberty, it seems the majority of the team had off nights together. The off nights will often apply to entire parts of a season. Look at how much the Aces...

    WBNA Playoffs - here we go!

    Why? It envolved no change for LA. They wanted Plum and they got her. It was LV and Seattle that made it a three team deal. LV wanted to replace Plum thinking they could repeat their last championship run. Seattle wanted to be rid of loyd and the Ace's were the perfect suckers. Loyd was no...

    WBNA Playoffs - here we go!

    This is just the beginning. Time will increase the perspective that the Ace's screwed up turning the Plum trade into a three team one to get Loyd instead. The stupidity of people who should know better is unbelievable. Malonga is going to be a superstar as loyd value decreases. I stated that...

    2025 WNBA Regular Season

    Kelsey was never someone who lacked confidence. She was not the glue. If she has the ball in her hands to much she is sure to make stupid decisions. With the Aces they kept her fairly under control until Chelsea was out for most of the year and the team went back to hero ball. It seemed to take...

    2025 WNBA Regular Season

    Reese hired a PR firm when she entered the league. Perhaps even earlier. She is all about promoting herself. Her agenda in that respect exceeds her time in basketball. She mentioned that while still in college. She is actually better at promotion than she is at basketball. But then basketball is...

    2025 WNBA Regular Season

    The entire three way trade was triggered by LA wanting Plum and LV wanting to replace Plum. Loyd wanted out of Seattle and chose to send LA compensation of their number two pick to Seattle for Loyd. They could have just taken the pick for Plum without involving Seattle. What was unknown was...
