Except VanDerveer is going to keep adding to her total. Unless she retires soon, I doubt if GA will catch her.

That will never happen. The BE has a long had a reputation for distributing weekly awards among member teams no matter how well UConn players performed.

Based on recent polls UConn will probably drop 2 spots. It's time to cancel, or at least ignore, AP and coaches polls. I'll stick to the NCAA NET rankings - UConn #4.

A tough one. Bueckers was Bueckers, Edwards was Edwards and Muhl did a great job on defense, but I have to go with Brady simply because I think that this was her coming out party and it deserves recognition.

Maybe she could pass on the skill to Nika.

Auriemma's (owned) private jet or a private charter? My guess is charter.

1. 20+ points each from Muhl, Shade and Arnold 2 <30 minutes for Bueckers and Edwards 3. Continued improvement from Brady

1. No letdown. In the past there has sometimes been a bad game following an injury to a team mate. 2. Brady show her stuff 3. Some minutes for Bettencourt

Didn't they have to wait for the swelling to go down before they did an MRI on Fudd's knee?

I don't think it was calculated. It was just vintage Geno.

" . . . . these days." ????

I have never known Auriemma mess with a player in that fashion if he did not care for that player.

A more enjoyable ranking is the NCAA NET where UConn is ranked 10 (moving up from 11), Shea Ralph's Vandy team is ranked 58 and our orange tinted friends are ranked 74. :D

Geno says the team also picks a POG. "Not Paige - never". Today's game Edwards and Muhl.

It seems that Muhl has fixed her early season turnover bug (hope I didn't jinx her). But am I the only one wishing that someone would tell her to close her mouth when she chews. :eek:

Edwards, Juhasz and ONO

I agree about the lack of a big and it is a real problem. I considered that Auriemma's recruiting failure. Then I remembered that there is a 6'6" player on the bench that has been a total bust and I think he expected much more from her. I also remember a 6'5" player who would have been a senior...

DeBerry has had ample opportunity to show that she can contribute, both in a game and in practice. If she was showing some game in practice, she would get more time on the court. So far this year she has had 23 minutes in games and has yet to put up a shot, let alone score. Her stats - 1 rb...

A little heresy here - or at least a different perspective w/o the NFB blinders. None of the three assistants have proven themselves as "excellent" coaches away from UConn. Elliott had no success as a head coach, Valley is a journeyman assistant coach. Although she did have a short lived head...

Patterson and Ducharme are not bigs. They are mediums. I think the coaching staff made a huge mistake by not bringing in another big (6'4"+) at the same time as Juhasz. All this stuff about how having a healthy El Alfi would have solved everything ignores that she is a freshman that has never...

The coaching staff sees her in practice as well as in the games. She has had numerous opportunities to help the team and she hasn't shown much. My guess is that she hasn't demonstrated or doesn't have either the skills or the attitude to be a meaningful contributor and that is why her PT is so...

To quote Joe Zone when he commented tonight on the upcoming UCLA game, "It will be shown on FloHoops, good luck with that." [ ]

Muhl on defense. Nobody on offense.

Minnesota 3-0, has played nothing but cupcakes so far. Massey ranked teams 352, 359 and 169. Their SOS is lower than 300. I think that makes any Minnesota stats irrelevant. I hate blowouts they are usually boring and do little to test the team. Tonight I am hoping for a 50 point, injury free...

UConn's missing piece this year.

1. Bueckers go off and score 20 in 20 minutes of play 2. Muhl playing like Muhl 3. Brady make some shots. Sorry can't stop at only 3 4.Samuels nailing 3s 5. UConn offense pass, pass, score. None of that dribbling stuff

Edwards With a nod to Muhl. I hope her performance last night quiets the anti Muhl crowd.

7 pm crickets?

No injuries is a given and should not be included. Everyone here wants no injuries. The same is true of wanting a win. 1. Bueckers and Fudd go off for 20 each. 2 Turnovers limited to less than 15 3. Amari Deberry prove me wrong.

Thanks for the heads up Nutmeg dog. I was living in Key West during her 1978 attempt. It was a big deal at the time. For those who aren't familiar with the swim, it covers 90 nautical miles of open water. The swim was from Cuba to Florida to take advantage of the currents. Unfortunately she was...

"masculine physique"??? An athletic and fit young woman is not masculine. I quit reading this post after that comment.

Just once I would like to see Deberry using her size to make space under the basket and demanding the ball. Today playing against an over matched team she showed nothing that we haven't seen before. I doubt if we see much of her this year and I get the feeling that she is content with that.

“It’s just practice.” Well no sheet. Did you miss the part where I said it was a mangled Iverson quote?

If you are in CT WFSB Ch3 will have an hour of UConn basketball coverage at 7 PM.
