    So annoyed with the UConn administration

    My sister and I are season ticket holders for RU wbb (we have 4 front row center court seats across from the benches) She has been one since before they played at the RAC and is a contributor. We have always been able to get tickets through RU for the NCAA's when RU has made the tournament and...

    LET'S GO BAYLOR

    The two best teams of the 2018-2019 season are playing for the championship IMO. I have felt it is Baylor's to lose, but I thought ND played better against Uconn than Baylor did against Oregon. It should be an interesting game. Tough loss for UConn tonight, but ND played better down the stretch...

    Prognosticators Tournament Game 7 (Lou) Predictions

    Louisville 73 - 65. They got the monkey off their backs when they beat Uconn earlier this year and without KLS at full strength and because of L'Ville's style of play, I just don't think the Huskies will be able to pull off their usual magic. Hoping for a great, competitive game and no injuries!

    Louisville Jeff Walz to Tennessee?

    In an interesting (and maybe related) development, Louisville assistant coach Samantha Williams was just named the new Head Coach at Eastern Kentucky University.

    UCLA VS Maryland

    I enjoyed this game and I think you guys will have your hands full with UCLA. Onyenwere, in particular was impressive. I am looking forward to your matchup with them.

    Stringer Will Get Tournament Bonuses

    Purely speculation on my part, but I know she is a breast cancer survivor and we didn't even know she had cancer the first time until long after the fact (like 20 years after). She is very private about her health, as is her right. My sister thought it might be pneumonia, but I think her absence...

    Stringer Will Get Tournament Bonuses

    I agree with you about that clause being put in for a reason. IMO it was so Hobbs could ask her to step aside if she didn't meet expectations with the least possible amount of unpleasantness. I imagine she felt she could still be successful and that is why she agreed to it. I think she did a...

    Stringer Will Get Tournament Bonuses

    Respectfully, I disagree. If she is healthy and wants to return as head coach, I don't think Pat Hobbs would even ask her to do anything else. IMO, she did a very good job this season putting together a team with no superstars and coaching them to 1st place in the B1G for much of the season...

    UCLA VS Maryland

    I have watched both teams play a fair amount of games this season and I don't understand why you think the UCLA players are more athletic. MD's team is young (only 1 senior), so I might see less experienced, but not less athletic. I agree that it should be a good game though. I have been a fan...

    The News Is Getting Worse At Rutgers

    From what I know of the relationship between CVS and Pat Hobbs, I would say the answer is no. I could see part of Vivian's exhaustion coming from having to deal with the problems these two young women have caused for her team this season, but I do not believe the AD would force her to dismiss...

    The News Is Getting Worse At Rutgers

    She was already suspended for 8 games earlier this year for the same infraction, yet she did it again. I think they had to dismiss her or change their rules. You can't keep making exceptions for her.

    The News Is Getting Worse At Rutgers

    I am a RU season ticket holder and a member of the Cager's club. Coach Eatman asked if we would come and watch them practice yesterday morning and show the players some love. About 35 - 40 of us went. At the time, we did not know about the situation with CVS or CC, although neither of them were...

    Home-and-home series with Maryland and Texas announced

    I think Uconn playing MD will help both teams strengthen their out of conference schedules, but helps MD more than Uconn. Geno always tries to schedule tough games.

    My 2 Cents

    My 2 cents is that if Uconn never wins another national championship, it will not detract from the legendary program that Geno has created. All good things come to an end, but it's not over for Uconn yet. You still have a better chance than most programs to win the Natty this year. You aren't...

    NON-Uconn WCBB News

    Two of my friends are referees for girls high school basketball in this area and should be working some of these games. Not sure if I will get a chance to make it this year.

    NON-Uconn WCBB News

    I think CVS will be able to help her. The vast majority of women who have played for her really love her and look at her as a role model. At our pregame huddle yesterday, Kathleen Fitzpatrick - a former player who is now an unpaid intern assistant and an aspiring basketball coach (she was also a...

    15 Best Remaining Games

    Interesting that they think MD at Iowa will be the toughest game left on MD's schedule. RU already beat them at home and we haven't lost a home game yet. I think our game at Iowa this Wednesday is the toughest game we have left. We have a two game lead over both these teams in the B1G, but I...

    We sure have, although not all of our transfers just arrived on the banks this season. Only Calhoun and Wilson are graduate transfers. We also have Caitlin Jenkins in addition to Carey, Guirantes and Cryor.

    Market for a New Coach

    Shauna Green from Dayton is an up and comer. She won the Maggie Dixon Rookie Coach of the Year award in her first year at Dayton (2016-2017) and has done well with the program she took over from Jim Jabir. I think she would be a good fit for a program like Duke. Not sure if she is a good fit for...

    Who will win the B10 this year?

    As a homie, I should go with RU, but I agree with the poster who said that with an 18 game schedule, it is too early to tell. We have the advantage of only having to play MSU once at home, but we also only play Iowa once at Iowa. Those are our next two games, so by next Wednesday night I should...

    NON-Uconn WCBB News

    Dawn is a great person who really loves the sport and respects it's history. I thought it was lovely of her to come to see Coach Stringer's 1000 win game. She came with Jolette Law. They both took time from their busy schedules to be there to pay respect to their friend (and mentor in Jolette's...

    Other (non-UConn) games

    I would have laughed too, but the more I watch this team, the more confidence I have in them. This is a very different team from last year. We do not have one go to player like Tyler Scaife, so everyone knows they might need to be the one who has to step up and make a big play on offense. I...

    Rutgers @ Maryland (4) - 12/31/18

    I think you are being unfair to Brenda. She may not be as good as Geno, but she has won a lot of games both with and without Walz. Her ability to recruit has made it possible to win those games, but to be fair, none of the great coaches would be where they are without the ability to recruit top...

    Rutgers @ Maryland (4) - 12/31/18

    I was at the game too. From my perspective, it just looked like the RU players wanted it more. This is the best I have seen us play so far this season. I expected us to be better on defense than MD, but I couldn't believe how well we rebounded today and our offense was clicking, which often...

    Two Sources Say 2 Aggies Showing Up

    If these players had problems with Carter taking the spotlight over them, what makes you believe they would not also have a problem with Samuelson, Collier and Dangerfield taking the spotlight instead? I can understand players leaving a program due to lack of playing time, or not meshing with...

    WNBA Draft Thread

    True, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Erica Wheeler was not drafted coming out of college. I'm not sure if she even got an invitation to a training camp that season. So, she played overseas, worked hard and has been a valuable member of the Indiana Fever for the past few seasons.

    Transfer Thread Pt 2.....

    I was hoping she might want to play closer to home and choose Rutgers. We could definitely use her next season.

    3 Mock Drafts "Side by Each"

    "That guard from Rutgers" - I assume you mean Cappie Pondexter who historically has been one of the best players in the WNBA? I know she is coming into the twilight of her career, but she is a known quantity in the league and a great acquisition for LA. As for the draft, while I know she is...

    Kobe is a fan - and he's coming to Gampel

    Kobe is a wbb fan. That is a good thing. The fact that he responded so positively to Arike O - someone who idolizes him is a positive, not a negative. His daughter might just follow in his footsteps and be a terrific player. The fact that she loves UConn should be something you celebrate! I...

    Azura Stevens Leaving

    I would have started Z in place of Dangerfield in the game against ND. She would have given me more height and help against Sheppard. I might have even been able to get her to foul out. Doing so would probably have helped to increase the rebound margin as well. I could then have used Dangerfield...

    Azura Stevens Leaving

    I'm not saying she should have started over any of the players you mentioned, but IMO she could have, depending on the situation. She also may have wanted to and felt she worked hard enough to, without seeing her desired results. Maybe she felt she had given all she had to give and it wasn't...
