    UConn vs UCF post game thread

    You couldn't have watched this game if you made this absurd comment. She got smacked in the face 3 or 4 times in addition to all kinds of holding, grabbing and other sxxt, and as far as the WNBA, all those things would have been called fouls. I don't think KLS is bothered by the normal...

    Remember one thing tonite

    Of course the three officials on the court can have an impact on the game, and I'm looking for the likes of Dee Kantner, Denise Brooks, and Joey Vaszily to be in town. Often there's one we are not familiar with, but hopefully Tom Danaher is not in the group. He's done a bunch of UCONN games...

    WNBA Mock Draft

    Not sure of their priorities going in, but they have a solid base plus some new blood coming in and returning. Fans would love it for sure, especially after Charles bagged them. I think they have finally recovered from her loss, and that Coach!

    Albany is going to be fun!

    Any pregame recommendations for Monday? Been there a few times, but no dining. A quick look found nothing close.

    Albany is going to be fun!

    I read one odds maker had UCONN by 22.5.

    Albany is going to be fun!

    As far as I know, they do, so long as the school turns them back. Some seem to hang onto them rather than have more home town fans, like UCONN, behind their bench! Try calling SC. I think sometimes one school can buy them up from another, so you could also try the other schools, too. Pat...

    A Flaw In My Praise of Tricia Fabbri,

    Obviously you do not watch or follow the Huskies much, as the "concept" as you call it is actually much more, it's "for real". Ask any of UCONN'S faithful, and nearly every long time fan will tell you that it is especially noticeable when he faces Temple, Cincinnati, Hartford/Rizzotti, and Pitt...

    And so it begins: USA Today says the St. Francis blowout is bad for the sport

    USA Today is bad for those still buying newspapers! I can answer this OP with 4 letters, some I refrain from using, but I will post these: UMBC! Most teams playing UCONN come in with a strategy they feel if it works to perfection, and a little bad luck for the Huskies, they could actually win...

    Everybody Happy Now?

    You can speculate all day on what Geno's strategy was, but IMHO the best move may have been to just work Megan in, to get that one more player in that he needs. Of course there's the injury factor that even got worse last night, so maybe a little time for Molly would have helped. Throwing all...

    Kyla Irwin

    My only comment on your opinion is to wonder how you could say Kelly Faris gave 80% all the time! Most UCONN players give 100%, and doubt Kelly EVER gave less!! BroadwayVa, No problem. I knew when I posted that --that Faris is an Emotional favorite. Your opinions are yours and the way you...

    Camara status?

    I was hoping Megan Walker would be able to make a cameo before halftime just in case we needed her down the stretch. I hope they let her out of the dog house, because we know she is capable of helping this team.

    Holy black eye, batman!

    I don't recall seeing a replay from the angle shown above, and at the time thought it was inadvertent, and was not upset with the no call. Watching this video today, I'm wondering what the heck that girl was doing!! Clearly should have been reviewed and I think they would have called a foul...

    Mercury @ Sun - 9/10/17

    How about the neck, that's what Griner did late in the game, but the refs had no guts to 1. Make the call in the first place, and then after review, I know they could have ruled flagrant, which I don't think it was, but since there had been no call by any of the refs, I don't think they could...

    Mercury @ Sun - 9/10/17

    (6) A deliberately-thrown elbow or any attempted physical act with no contact involved. How about the elbow to the throat that Griner threw late in the game being ignored by the "Three Blind Mice"? After Coach Miller got the attention of the refs, they did review the play, but I wonder if...

    Seven players took the 16 shots, and each player missed at least one shot!

    Huskies Reorg and Next Year

    The comment was football related, and I wanted to respond.

    Huskies Reorg and Next Year

    I disagree with the scary part, as what would have been scary was facing another year with Diaco, wondering when he would get fired! Edsall wasn't really on my radar, but I'm happy he was on someone's. He makes sense, he hit the ground running, and has made some good hires and recruiting...

    Vance is Transferring

    Joe D read the report on his radio show, and then said Jackson wasn't one of the names he had heard rumored. Guess this guy had a scoop, or at least feels he did.

    Score prediction thread for OREGON

    UCONN 82 - 55; I agree on the slow start due to Ducks trying to duck a landslide, but the young team will break, and 111 will be in the books.

    Who do you think will be the new Assistant Coach

    Tom Moore for me. He would certainly help with the rebounding, and also recruiting. After the Q, he needs to refresh his resume, and if it works, and KO moves on, he's here if needed.

    Fire Benedict thread

    That's your best recommendation? knowing (a) It ain't happening; (b) You know it wouldn't work for many reasons incl.: 1. Major donors would not support like they do, 2. Fans would not show even to today's poor numbers, 3. TV money would be negligible, etc., (c) Other sports would be adversely...

    The Maryland Game

    In addition to an injury, my concern in closely contested games for UCONN vs. a major contender is always the officials. This year the key is how the game is called by that threesome. This year it seems one of the most likely would be 1 Very Familiar one, 1 new regular, and 1 qualified wild...

    OT, sorta: Bob Diaco fired

    I'm certainly not pushing for Edsall, just commenting about the potential, and harsh feedback that may come by such a hire. Some fans may not come back because of him, but as a long-time fan, I still want to watch the Huskies play football at this level. My only add on comment to yours is that...

    OT, sorta: Bob Diaco fired

    I would not be afraid of his ability to return us to where we were, but could never forgive him for what he did to our program AFTER his success. Maybe a little pro bono work would soften the blow if the powers that be really wanted him, but on the surface he does not deserve the opportunity...

    OT, sorta: Bob Diaco fired

    Lower level doesn't pay the bills, even when successful, and the fans won't turn out, nor will they have enough interest to wager a coffee or two at that level.

    Uh Oh. John Altaville in Hot Water?

    Those young ladies happened to be representative s of the UT Dance Team. They also had a larger group of cheerleaders.

    dee kantner

    Was just looking at a listing of all officials and their 2014 - 15 game assignments, and it appeared that Dee hadn't worked since 3/23 until tonight. Could be it wasn't up to date, though Susan Blaugh's and Denise Brooks listings reflected recent games.

    dee kantner

    $$$$ They make great money, everything is arranged and paid for by the NCAA, and it's part time seasonal employment. They work those hours cuz they want to. One ref I've gotten to know over the years is one of the best but doesn't really need the money, so doesn't do so many games. This ref...

    dee kantner

    Can't recall how she did that day, but generally speaking UConn's Bigs are frequently in foul trouble when she refs, and they surely were that day.

    New foul rules?

    I just wish airline authorities would declare Connecticut a NO FLY zone for Dee Kantner. In recent years I have gone from a fan of hers to feeling her ego has gotten the best of her, and she insists on putting her handprint on these high profile games from the tipoff. In theory that may sound...

    Logo: after a good nights sleep

    It's because our Jonathan has long been all white. It is possible that one or more of his predecessors had some black in him, and maybe some pictures will surface in the next few days.
