    Khadija Demry at The Myrtle Beach Beach Ball Classic.

    Wrap-up: Four games in four days took it's toll, and as everyone telegraphed their passes the defensive players prevailed. ONO and Marshall made the all- tournament team, but did not dominate. Christ The King won, led by MVP Kaelynn Satterfield. She showed incredible decision-making ability and...

    Khadija Demry at The Myrtle Beach Beach Ball Classic.

    Natalija Marshall can best be described as ONO's younger sister. She handles the ball well, executed a nice step through, and pretty much played ONO even. The game was decided when ONO missed a FT with 6.5 seconds left. There is no shot clock in SC, so this was a low scoring game with Chris the...

    Khadija Demry at The Myrtle Beach Beach Ball Classic.

    ONO spent most of the first three quarters on the pine, drinking water. She played enough to win the game in OT. She did show ball-handling and foul-shooting ability. Her long arms created problems for opponents.

    Khadija Demry at The Myrtle Beach Beach Ball Classic.

    This 6-5 post player will probably carry Christ the King (Sue Bird's alma mater) of NY to the championship. They are ranked #5 in the nation. She led a balanced attack in the opening game. She faces a more formidable opponent in tonight's game. EDIT: Thank you for the corrections everyone...

    Olivia Nelson-Ododa at The Myrtle Beach Tournament

    Olivia , a 6-4 post player had dominated this Christmas tournament last year. A physical player with mobility, passing skills and a good medium range shot was cruising to the MVP, leading by 5 over a Richmond area team with a few minutes to go. Then it happened. With UCONN like suddenness...

    Dennis DeMayo's last game tonight at Gample

    Dennis didn't miss a whole lot of calls. If the Tulane game was an audition for his replacement, we didn't find anybody.

    Who were last night's refs?

    This was a final exam for assignment to work final 8 or final 4 games. I don't think any of them made it.

    Doris Burke "NOT" the President of the Saniya Chong Fan Club

    Five years ago Doris thought it was her job to count Skylar Diggins's followers on twitter. She paused a moment near the end and said to her broadcast partner "They're down almost THIRTY?????

    UConn Freshmen/Commits: C. Collier, Coombs, AEH, Gordon, Walker

    Megan Walker the QB. It could have turned out Nelson Odoba the MVP and her team wins, late in the game. Down five, and weaving through traffic, Megan Walker makes a long three. A steal, and instant replay. So, in ten seconds, from down five to up one- sounds very UCONNish to me. With seconds...

    UConn Freshmen/Commits: C. Collier, Coombs, AEH, Gordon, Walker

    Walker, 17 pt. 8 rebounds, 11/12 FT leads Monacan against 6-4, and #1 2017 post Olivia Adoba-Nelson in the finals. Coombs, loser to that team by 5, had 25 pt., 13 rebounds, 6/7 FT to lead her team into the 3rd place game. Megan lost more height. I'll now say 5-11 1/2. On the first 5...

    Where Would Next Year's Second Five Rank Nationally?

    If we lose 0-1 games, you can't tell the starting 5 they're subs next year. The second five could beat the starters on a good day. The key is Megan Walker, whether she can dunk or not, can play the point.

    UConn Freshmen/Commits: C. Collier, Coombs, AEH, Gordon, Walker

    Down one with four seconds to go. M. Walker is on the line. Swish. Swish.

    UConn Freshmen/Commits: C. Collier, Coombs, AEH, Gordon, Walker

    Nothing but good news! Megan is perhaps a shade under the advertised 6-1, but plays all 5 positions and rebounds well. She is high scorer without hogging the ball or forcing shots. In fact, she looks to pass first, and is especially quick to spot a teammate ahead of the pack. She is a...

    June Corteau - Strange But True

    Sally Bell was WORSE in the ACC. She controlled the whole conference with predjudicious calls. Bonita Spence's 50 foot calls were from a "point of emphasis" that the distant ref should make the call as "the least emotionally involved." Why this didn't work: Brenda Freese (Md.) goes screaming...

    June Corteau - Strange But True

    It was worse than a phantom foul! DT actually blocked the shot and she called it intentional. Sue B. bailed out the undefeated season shortly thereafter.

    Husky Offense This Season

    It all depends on who steps up: My best day as a UCONN fan: Maria Conlon, a designated shooter who wouldn't shoot, plays almost the entire victorious NC game as PG with zero turnovers.

    In Kia Nurse We should Trust?

    Kia is going to follow a tradition of UCONN guards who can play either the point or two guard well. To continue the undefeated string, our need right now is for a shot blocker. Either Katie Lou getting stronger, Natalie jumping higher, or a secret recruit from another country in The Olympics.

    Nice to see Brittney having FUN

    First, she's having a "flex" contest with Maya. Then, cheering on the team from the bench, she's doing Usain's "Lightning Bolt" gesture. Then she's jokingly challenging DeMarcus Cousins to a game one-on-one. Lots of smiling, in contrast to the old scowl when she was our opponent.

    Natalie Butler: Candid, revealing talk about a difficult year.

    What we need: 2-3 blocks per game and defend the hoop when the press breaks down. We have everything else.

    The mesmerizing Osahor 3

    What she's going to do is watch fast breaks going the other way. She creates an automatic 5 on 4 or better on every possession. A couple of teams didn't do their homework, but the conference rivals did, or her stats would be better.

    So Carolina transfers

    Jatarie was never intended to play. A'ja Wilson didn't want to play inside and Dawn recruited enough bigs to convince her she didn't have to. Two years older and two years tougher, guess who is the nation's premier post player next season?

    Game notes: Huskies not exposed tonight; we just didn't play great

    We beat the point spread (20.) What do you want? 60 every game? This was Maj Forsberg's crew's second bad game in a row. Example: Morgan Tuck was shoulder-blocked HARD on a lay-up. No call. We took a beating because they let hard physical contact go. These plays were fouls in the second game...
