    Why UConn WBB's 2023-24 season was one of program's most impressive

    I read thru the article quickly and can't access it again, but I don't recall any mention of Shade. If so, the writer loses all my respect, they don't make it to the final 4 without her.

    NIL will blow up

    NIL money is NIL money. It doesn't matter where it comes from. It's a lousy system and the genie is out of the bottle. A dollar is a dollar ( and a dime is a dime, I'd sing another chorus but I haven't got the time. Apologies to Herman's Hermits ) Given a choice, I'd quietly take the bag and...

    Marquette - UConn Postgame Thread

    I hope everyone saw Shade frequently position players on the court and call the switches on screens.

    BIG EAST 2023-24 AWARDS

    I'm so glad that #12 got the honors she so richly deserved. It's not just the numbers you put up, it's everything else you do to help your team win. I'm sure that I'm misquoting someone when I say, " I just feel better when she's on the court ".

    Carla Berube would have to be front runner to replace Geno

    CB has Uconn cred and is a proven winner. Can't think of anyone I'd rather have.

    Sporting News ranks the top seven players of all-time

    My favorite player and my favorite play..... watching DT back down Stacey Dales and foul her out with an "and one" in the championship game.

    Sporting News ranks the top seven players of all-time

    DT got robbed. Uconn should be 1-2, pick your order. Game on the line, who would you want to have the ball in her hands?

    How UConn will Beat South Carolina

    SC should be worried.....we play this game with house money.

    Geno On Under-Officiated" Paige: Daniel Connolly

    Over the years I don't recall anyone being as physically abused as DT (which makes her achievements even more remarkable). She was continuously grabbed and bumped, with no calls, especially against ND.

    Deja vu - Ashlynn and Paige (HM) receive BEast honors

    Don't be surprised to see Shade double Olson.

    Breanna, Napheesa, and Dee - oh my!

    DT will know when she no longer belongs on the team. Until then she suits up for me.

    UConn’s domination of the BEast FOW continues

    KK and Ash......... best freshman guard combo in the country

    Solving the rebounding problem

    The great Dennis Rodman at 6'7" was an undersized rebounder who felt that any ball that came off the rim was his. Rebounding is attitude, positioning , and anticipation.

    The Athletic - How can UConn adjust? Turn to its freshmen

    I don't worry about them fouling. The only time they won't foul is if they are sitting on the bench. You play them so they learn how to not foul.

    Injury update

    I like the 8 and I like having to play the frosh. They'll be tourney tough by March.

    New starting lineup suggestion... (merged)

    Maria C...... The right PG at the right time. Owner of the killer 3.

    2023 Season - What Does Success Look Like? What Say You?

    Put an upper level D1 QB on the field. Go 9&4 (win a bowl game against any P5 team). The bones are there. Tough to keep UCONN out of the B12.

    Evina's WNBA preseason game performance deserves her own thread after we gave one to Liv

    If Quinn had gone to UCONN she would have known that it's alluded and not eluded.

    Transgender HS athletes win All-State honors in women's track

    Being a gearhead I like to use an auto analogy. If you have a stick shift you compete with the men. If you're chopped and channeled you compete with the women.

    Diaco's Demise

    Dandy Don said it best " turn out the lights the party's over". Eat the contract and fire him tonight. Show some class and start BS next game.

    OT/OT: National Anthem - H.S. & College Athletes - USA Basketball & Olympics

    Thanks to the sacrifices of our military, anyone has the right to peaceful protest , no matter how offensive it may be. However, those of us who feel strongly about disrespect to our country or our flag have our own means of protest. If the athletes or coaches take a knee or raise a fist during...

    Uconn Band

    The band is the best I have ever seen it (I've had season tickets since Memorial Stadium), but let's not forget the twirler. She is also the best UCONN twirler I've seen. She is extremely athletic and presents herself wonderfully. I could use more drumline.

    Gabby will be starting for KLS

    Baring injuries or fouls , six players only until mop-up time- anyone who thinks Ekmark gets in before SC is dreaming-Butler gets in before Ekmark, maybe even before SC depending on game flow

    Down by 1...10 seconds to go full court in the NC...Who???

    In my world nobody but DT touches that ball. Drives the lane, scoops and scores- gets fouled- we win by 2

    If Warde Goes, Where Should we Look?

    I'd get an assistant AD from a BiG or B12 program with some juice.

    Logistics of Big XII Expansion: Unsportsmanlike Conduct

    Worthy goal; but if we step up with the big boys, given the strength of our academics, BB, and other sports, why can't we think NC?

    Logistics of Big XII Expansion: Unsportsmanlike Conduct

    College athletes exploited?

    I'm tired of this crap. If you think you are being exploited don't take the scholarship and the perks. Stay home and pay for your own education and major in some meaningless feel good subject. Then go whine about the unfairness of society when you can't get a job.

    I'm proud of this team!

    What I take away from this game is that every game on our schedule now becomes winnable. We went toe to toe with a top 20 team and essentially played them even.

    That makes no sense

    If Boyle throws one decent pass we win the game and Diaco is a gutty genius. I hope Boyle only sees the field in mop up time. Still I would have gone with #4.

    Pretend you are BD; what is your offensive game plan

    My first play is a fly to Thomas, then I let Johnson pound it in for 2. After that it's Newsome in the slot on play actions, punish them with Johnson, QB designed roll-outs with 1 or 2 QB draws, liberal use of wide outs and give Mizzou something to think about.
