    Rebecca says "Don't sleep on UCONN"

    Ever hear of the Cinderella Team ….we could be that team if..if..if...80% of what we throw up goes in...that the defense now know as “The Busy Bee’s .. an shuts the opposing offense at half court… Wish I could go back and pick one game for each player, and put that package together and WOW …...

    Geno Calls Out Paige for Poor Play

    Goes to show you how important last years "Tall Blonde" was...she glued the team together, her presence brought out the best in the team.... I would say if we had her or if one of the bigs on todasys bench would step up..and say enough is enough and fill her shoes.... and I might say we probably...

    We need a Dorka!

    Recruitment really missed the boat, when in the last two years we did not sign a 6'7" who could really play ball ....Look at last night and UCLA, they were big, and fast and had a 6-7 that could play the post.... look around and you'll see a terrific number of teams that have a gal of size that...

    I don't knoiw...?? Been following the girls with TonyC since the early 90ies, an this group leaves me speechless...

    In defense of Nika

    There is more to becoming a point guard or a forward or a center than learning how to handle a basketball and learn plays..It requires hours/months/years of study, just like the QB in football as he approached the line ... looks and checks the defense and adjusts... When you hit the court and...

    Can any team ACTUALLY beat South Carolina in women’s March Madness? These 3 Can! Coach Rob says Oh, yeah!!!

    Yep ...a three point shooten /three guard team, averaging around 40% beyond the line...will pull their stoppers away from the basket....enough so that a pair of decent bigs can play "Holy Heck"...game OIver.....

    4th Quarter ... What Happened???

    On the verge of a 30 point blow out. Uconn seems to have stopped playing basketball in the 4th quarter. What was a 20 plus lead almost fell to single numbers...in ten minutes we scored 6 points to their 17 ...The smooth flow we enjoyed for the past three games... STOPPED and fell back to a...

    Good Show Tony!!! We all knew that by burning the candle at both ends it was just a matter of time ...??? But we all have to tip our hats to the girls for a valent fight and remember the season is not over...!! Just a little bump in the road. Question...am I dreaming but in the 80ies/90ies...

    General Injury Discussion

    I found after years and years on the court, that you NEVER stop joint movement ...When you prep for a game you go in loose...but when you came out and sit on the bench/chair our joints and swell and tighten. Then when you go back in , one wrong move and BOOM.. Point is I would never let the team...

    Remember This!!

    Remember This . 1.-UConn 21-22 played for the National Championship and came in second out of how many teams in Division One? 2.- UConn 21-22 was within 7 points in the 4th quarter and had the ball. 3.- But for one more shot the tide/momentum was changing, as the opposition stared in...

    How can we beat South Carolina

    Geeze ...love to see this on one of the X-Box or what ever games where you can simulate your own offense/defensive plan/plans..what would the computer do to offset a 5 guard shooter offense? If the CPU brought out the center then a blow-by and layup would be in order. Center on a guard would...

    Recruiting Tracking?

    Hey .... didn't we have a running thread/post on the status of future players? Thought it was posted at the top of this list from the moderators? Sure would like to see who is where who is committed, etc .. and with this "Portal Jazz" it's getting hard to track... Somebody please steer me to...

    Recognize we are playing defenseless

    Right on Tony ... We are playing with an adjusted defense nature: In order to preserve strength we no longer keep the arms and hands in the face of the offensive player...who now does not have to devote brain power to the advances of the defensive player.. I order to preserve strength we are...

    A Question about Dorka

    With the correct tweaking and one summer of Professional training, she would be a shoo in as a top 5 in the draft...especially with two A#1 guards feeding her ....especially that she has a proven and polished three point static. shot ...especially if she could add 9 inches to her new vertical...

    It's Not Our Year?

    If SC would play the Quinnipiac team from the1954/55 era that had those two fella's that were lights out from the half court stripe/in. That would be a show.. Anybody remember those two..??

    We wont get any better.....until we get better

    Hey Posters...We're spending a lot of waisted time and energy trying to second guess this injury bitten team ... Our season will really start when we get all the gals back on the court rested and healthy. Then the team Coach "G" crafted will be on the court and odds are that a healthy UConn...

    Do we need another Big

    I agree, having shouldered with "Bigs" from Grade school to the "Top of the Bottle".. Liv has all the makings of a good professional, and we watched for four years for the rise in ability. We looked for a more powerhouse vertical jump, 95% competition rate in bunny layups, and free throws. She...

    A Treatise on Shooting (Especially 3 Point Shooting)

    Been there done that ... The name of the game is "Reps" or "Repetition" ... Visualize .. muscle strength and muscle memory. Here we go. 4AM lights go on, court is shut down to half court .. 30 basketballs are scattered ...a helper walks to a ball, picks it up, the shooter walks to the helper...

    The Long Road to the NC

    Tony, it will be the biggest sport story of the year. UConn, decimated by the virus, injury after injury, negative and moral shocks one right after another. Coaches redo the play script every day, and what do we teach next? But back in August we looked at the roster and "WOW" The NC will be too...

    SNY game live Changes..???

    Gee for the first time since the early 90ies .... I have I missed a UConn game. Seems when NBC made all the sport changes as of the first of the year it has becomes a mystery as to where to go to get the SNY games.... Normally I go to Fox Sports..the Game Icon appears and at the correct time...

    Well not much more we can say

    Tony ..you and I have analyzed this team for the past 30 some years, but I'll tell you I'm really scratching my head...???Then watching the game for the third time it hit me....A lot of guys took it upon themselves to prove, " I can fill in for Page" ...They pushed the button but played too...

    Value of coaching depth...

    One cannot put a price on the value of coaching relative to game prep and system longevity. Replay and look at the forward and especially guard play... Uless the rabbit come out of the hat it's going to be a basic teaching year.

    Aubrey or Horston?

    Looking at Aubrey as a HS player, the REAL potential was there...and she is now beginning to get her feet wet and playing her game...She has the speed, the quick eyes, hands, a good understanding of the game. a variety of shots especially the foul line fall away jumper, and with her elevation...

    Conditioning is suspect....Press--press--press...make a trip down the court equal to three normal trips...within 18 minutes the big's will have hands on knees...and that's only one of notable weakness...

    Charlie Creme UCONN Praise

    Having played at a high level.... and haven't missed a TV game since the 1990ies......I feel playing at their current level of expertise: this is one of the best balanced teams of all time..any one at any time, can come out of the blue and "Smash You".... Coach's decision in keeping KLS out was...

    AAC to ESPN+?

    Years ago years ago.. Harriet (CPTV) and I talked about a all UConn Network...The idea never got off the ground, but now its a fact of life...if you want to follow a couple of teams it's going to cost you 5 to 8 dollars, and a full package at 50 some dollars a month... CPTV pays UConn 1.2...
