    paige as next season's point guard

    in another thread (closed) that became centered on paige and the idea that she should be point guard, DEpup wrote 'DT is also a point guard and probably the best PG to never really play the position..... I personally would like her to mentally keep moving in that direction to develop her...

    R things aligning?

    NC State men make final 4, as do uconn men NC St women make it too. if paige & co. win monday, they make it. then both NC and uconn could compete for dual NCs. uconn for its 3rd, extending the 2004, 2014 tradition to 2024. yay. BTW, i would not be surprised if tradition shakes up USC. the...

    love this paige quote on NIL [merged thread]

    “It's really not that hard to educate yourself,” Bueckers said. “But it's like people create these narratives in their head and it’s so hard to undo it because then people just follow those narratives and then people who don't know nothing follow other people who don't know nothing and it's just...

    recruiting insights

    there has been buckets of speculation about the recruitment of sarah strong this year, and about many coveted 'gotta gets' (on the BY at least) over many years. there is a lot of interest about this and it incites posts galore, some providing great info, some offering hilarity and a few --...

    Wouldn't it be sweeeet ...

    It would be exquisite if the BY could be celebrating NC #12 this April. What an incredible hoot, considering the persistent negativity here and in the media. All those projecting a failure for the Storrs crew definitely have good reason for their comments. I understand. The odds are against...

    livestock vet? alums today

    A Maryland player wants to be a 'livestock veterinarian' according to Flohoops commentators at the Cancun Classic today. This brought to mind Tierney Lawlor, from the Stewie era, who was an agriculture major, which seems to be unique for a UConn player. Does anyone know if Tierney entered that...

    Is poor rebounding a defensive issue?

    I just finished the postgane thread and was struck by how varied it was, with many good, interesting insights. Maybe that's always so, but I was not as receptive previously. Bravo, BYers. I was going to post something about rebounding, but then someone (Ferarro?) commented on it with much of...

    Four observations (a long read)

    After Sundays's game and reading mucho comments (but not all) in the BY, I'll opine about 4 things: Azzi's future The Aubrey enigma The revival of the 'blame Nika' faction The Huskies need for more size BOX OUT, PURSUE THE BALL All these woe-is-us posts about the size of our players should...

    if you hear 'uconn is my dream school'

    how many high school girls (and younger) have said that through the years? if i were resourceful, and not lazy and addled, i might even research this. the quote gets fans excited, at least when the girl is touted as 'uconn material' -- but how many of those kids have realized their dream? most...

    OT: jana thread and video

    i'm curious about 2 things in the tread about jana's progress. in post 8 there is a foto in which caroline is seen wearing eyeglasses. i didn't realize she needed glasses, or i am just not observant. does anyone know what gives? has she worn specs for years and normally uses contact lenses...

    Caroline: A caution

    LOTS of folks are chattering with the presumption that caroline will recover by march. That would be wonderful. And some are counting on her returning at her best. That would be absolutely fantastic. I sure hope so, but it's unlikely. There has been nothing -- except our speculation -- to...

    BRING the BUN BACK

    it occurred to me while watching oregon guard paopao in an exciting ducks vs arizona game sunday (a day that also saw stanford squeak past cal by just 4 points) that while there are many hairstyles among the players these days, the bun has nearly vanished. why? on the huskies -- where d wore...

    reflections on huskies v. gamecocks, 2020

    just saw video of the scarolina v huskies regular season game during paige, nika and liya's frosh year. exciting game. it was the one that went into overtime after boston missed two point-blank putbacks at the end of regulation. paige took over in the extra stanza, which ended with her final...

    where can i see the Team USA semifinal?

    i know it's to be played early a.m. friday (EDT) but can't find it anywhere in TV listings -- either live or later in replay. what gives? is this not gonna be available to the masses, but only to those in-the-know with money to spend and plenty of tech savvy? or am i just clueless?

    No SNY, just ESPN3?

    The UC-Davis game is not on SNY or ESPN or anywhere else on TV??????? It's only available on ESPN3? Which is not a TV service, but Internet-based, and to which not everyone has access? Have I got it right?

    Good bets in recruiting?

    Gabby Williams, Morgan Tuck, Mikala Johnson, Caroline Doty, Brittany Hunter: All these women, I believe, joined the Huskies program after suffering knee injuries. Doty already was in the UConn fold (had already ‘verbaled’) when her (first) injury occurred, I think. But UConn tendered a bb...

    Bummer for Boneyarders

    Perhaps this has been brought up by others. but I predict one of the most noticeable trends as the 2013-14 season progresses will be a rising tide of repetitive complaints among Boneyarders (and other UConn fans) that they are totally bored and that watching the games has become a chore rather...

    Chumpkin???

    Has anyone watching the WNBA playoffs noticed that the intro song -- I think by that pop singer Gomez -- demands that we 'walk like a chumpkin, talk like a chumpkin'? Chumpkin? What is that? Why would you want to walk or talk like a little chump? Assuming chumps have a particular way of...

    Line-up: Interesting or just wrong?

    A Times-Picayune sportswriter has a story in Nan's links in which she lists an expected UConn starting lineup: Dolson Faris KML Hartley Jefferson! I'd guess she picked this up somewhere in the ozone, but she does seem to be reasonably knowledgable elsewhere in this story. Has anyone else...

    Big recruits and UConn

    Many have expressed hope that the 2014 class, now at 3 'verbals,' will include at least one traditional center type. I do. I also have the feeling that UConn has a bit of trouble landing 'bigs' who they want. The feeling may be wrong because it might ignore the fact that there simply aren't...

    Kelly again

    This may have come up in Maryland game threads, which I haven't been through. And the first time I saw how underappreciated Kelly is was way back when she was a freshman and played huge -- and unnoticed -- rebounding in the Stanford NC game. She was getting some general recognition a few...

    An old pet peeve with the BY

    This just irritates me, and I think many others. Let's spell our heroines' names right. This season, Stef is the most abused. Which is expecially disappointing since she been very prominet here for 3 years -- plus before she got here. Easy to make mistakes and typos, but a lot of it is...
