Download the workbook from here. A bounce here, a bounce there. A make, a miss. Couldn't get much closer than the ending we watched on Friday. And the ladies showed more of the grit that got them to that point. Congratulations to them for overcoming numerous obstacles and making all the...

Download the workbook here. I guess they are the heart-attack kids, uncaring of the average age of their fans. Can't be a game unless the lead is 4 points or less deep into the 4th quarter. Nonetheless, my "they'll go as far as their defense takes them" statement continues to hold water. And...

Download the spreadsheet here. Well, my heart survived the Syracuse game, after the joy of watching both the fluid offense and smothering defense in the Jackson State game. I think we all hope Nika takes a fresh realization of how important it is for her to be available to play. Even if it...

Download the spreadsheet here. Well, we saw all 3 BET games in a 18-hour period. The grit shown by the team is incredible! With and without Aaliyah, the defense was cranked up to 12. Everyone switched on screens very well and ball movement was light-years ahead of what it was for most of the...

FYI, if you have downloaded or will download the per-40 workbook, you will be able to separate the regular season, Big East tournament, and NCAA Tournament stats by using the Venue drop-down at the top of the Per-40 sheet. BET will be the venue for all Big East games, and NCAAT will be the...

Download the workbook here. Sorry it took so so long. I've got a new primary computer & I've been dealing with getting the software set up and all the data transferred to it. It being at least 10 (and more likely 20) times more powerful than my old computer makes the tasks go faster than I'd...

Download the workbook here. Well, we've seen both what they can do and what they may do a number of times this year. It looks like they will go as far the defense takes them. Which means they'll be at the mercy of the zebras on many occasions. I just hope someone is reviewing how these games...

Download the spreadsheet here. Not THAT was a game that brings promise for future success. Yes, DePaul is not a tier 1 opponent, but the defensive intensity and execution on offense were worlds away from what we've seen in the last few games. Especially looking to get the ball into the post...

Some new names, Aaliyah claims more spots. Points Paige 26.41 Aaliyah 24.07 Q 16.92 Ashlynn 115.38 Made FT Paige/Aaliyah ~4.4 KK 2.29 Amari 1.58 Ice/Ashlynn ~1.0 ORB Aaliyah 3.42 Ice 2.35 Q 2.13 Ines 1.68 DRB Aaliyah 8.85 Q 6.63 Ice/Amari ~5.5 Paige 5.05 TRB Aaliyah...

Download the spreadsheet here. Gotta go play tennis. Commentary and rates grid when I return.

Download it here. Gaudy numbers, but the play is still ragged at times. Hoping more consistency can be found in the time remaining this year because I believe they can make great noise in the tournament if so. Current rate ratings Note that all active players have now played the required...

You can download the workbook here. I can't credit all the posts I've seen saying the beat-down was completely due to playing a superior opponent with a depleted roster. UConn lost because they couldn't put the ball in the basket. They took exactly the same number of shot attempts (71) as SC...

Download the spreadsheet here. The way they started, I wondered if the team would score 40 for the game. Finally started breathing normally partway through the third quarter. Don't remember the last grind-it-out game, but it's been a while and I was pleased the team weathered it with apparently...

Download the spreadsheet here. The team came out flat, the freshmen were a bit ragged, the refs let it look like a pinball game. But the upperclass players were performant and the defense finally congealed in the last 15 minutes. Four players hit every one of their shots inside the arc and only...

Download the spreadsheet here. No rate grid this time. The only players that had any production played pretty much the entire game, so there'll be no significant change from last time. Just gotta say it -- Why no zone? Why stop feeding Aaliyah, who was on fire? Why can't UConn stop a speedy...

Just uploaded (to here) an updated per-40 workbook. I've added the TS% to the "Stats per game" table. An explanation of TS% can be found in the "Stats gurus, what is this" thread.

Download the spreadsheet here. Can't really comment on the game, and I'm still grumpy about it. I somehow mis-read the schedule and thought the game started at 8PM Eastern time. So I turned it on at 5PM Pacific time and there were 6 minutes left in the 3rd period. Watching from that point, I...

Download the workbook here. Offense seemed ragged for the first few minutes, but after the 10 to 11 score it clicked pretty darn well. Nitpicking, Ashlynn still gets lost on defense after being screened sometimes, it took Amari a couple of bad possessions to get her motor fired up, Nika passed...

Get you stats here. After 2+ years of tribulations, it is so pleasing to see Beautiful Basketball break out on a regular basis in our team's games again. There are still growing pains with the new members, but they're far ahead of what we had any right to expect and they show flashes of how...

There was an error in the formulae that calculate the Blocks per game (in the 3rd table on the Details page) for the UConn and Opponent rows. That has been fixed. Download it here.

Download the spreadsheet here. Eliding Ice and Amari's TOs, the team had only 5 for the game, 3 of them Aaliyah's. Including the rest of the ridiculous statistics adds up to a fabulous display of team basketball and what should be a joyous occasion for fans. The number of errors of any type...

Download the spreadsheet here. Holding the ratings grid until after the St. John's game. since I'm late and feeling unaccountably lazy.

Download the stats spreadsheet here. Fabulous game from a fired-up team! Ferocious defense! Near-flawless offensive movement. Fearless play against a team determined to bump and grind. Whew! I'm stoked. Admit it, you never guessed the missing points would come from Nika, right? And despite...

Aubrey is still in the table until we hear whether she is done for the season (sniff) -- and as a reminder of what the other ladies will need to compensate for. From where I stand, it looks like a lot of that will come from Q. Points Paige 27.06 Aaliyah 22.84 Q 20.95 Made FT Aubrey/Paige...

...download it here. Just back from Beautiful Carmel/Big Sur area. Got the spreadsheet done, but the rankings must needs wait until at least after dinner. Great game with yet another potentially horrible injury. Please be well, Aubrey!

Download it from here. An amazing game to watch: amazingly poor for 5 minutes, then amazingly like some teams of old for the rest of the game. The freshmen have really bought into the uptempo offense and suffocating defense, and they performed very well in both duties. The upperclass players...

You can download it from here. NOTE: The UConnhuskies.com box score has an error, claiming that the team's current record is 10-3 rather than the actual 9.3 Wow, I can finally exhale. Two good offensive outings in a row with the most recent the best yet by far. And the defensive energy has...

Found a copy of the spreadsheet I'd forgotten about and was able to fix the problem. Haven't seen the Toronto game yet, so that'll be tomorrow probably.

I have had to delete the per-40 workbook from my downloads directory as it contained a bad formula. Unfortunately, I'm not at home so I don't have a copy of the previous version with me to replace it. Sorry. It'l be fixed on Saturday or Sunday when we return from Sedona.

Download the spreadsheets here. Well, I finally got to exhale. There's still lots of rough edges on the freshmen, but they all looked like they knew what they were supposed to be doing at various times, and the veterans looked like they were running UConn offense more than half the time...

Download it here. The ones we probably expect to be in the rotation now all have the minimum minutes played, so they're eligible for the grid. Dropping back to top 3 and ties. Lots of 'A's in the table ;^) We're getting to where people might be looking for trends in an individual player's...

Download it here. Once again, ratings will be later.

Enough players (6) with more than 100 minutes on court, so here we go. Sure wish Nika would shoot more, she's 15 of 22 (68.2%) from 2. Ashlynn is 10 of 13 (76.9%) from 2. They are both 50% or better for 2s and 3s in the games we lost. Points Paige 26.60 Aaliyah 20.19 Aubrey 13.25 KK...
