    5 for 5 tonight. There’s hope.

    Kibitzer memorial Badass award

    And she never grouses about a bad call or gets in a shoving match after a whistle . . . if there is a Big East sportsmanship award, she’s my nominee.

    Morgan Cheli is Naismith Semi-Finalist

    She’s got that Amy Duran quality as well.

    Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

    Tough to overlook Nika again. Beyond Nika’s scoring, it was she who made Karlen disappear in the second half.

    How long have you been attending UConn games?

    I’m not sure of the date, but my wife and I attended many games at Georgetown, Villanova, and Temple because they were close to our home in MD. When my aunt was alive in Florida, I would schedule visits in order to see games at USF or UCF. I also caught two games at ECU, sneaking in via a back...

    Kibitzer memorial Badass award

    Gotta go with Nika. Even before the studio hosts talked about her defense at the half, I was really impressed by her obliteration of Unique Drake. And no fouls! By her shutting down the SJ high scorer, we turned the game into a laugher.

    Slovenia game and pictures

    I’d take #5 on my team any day. Loved her foul shot form, too.

    Kinda boring here; Anyone care to brag about past personal sporting achievements?

    Soccer All-American and college record holder in triple jump, four senior championships at my course, but the ultimate highlight was helping the Simpering Eunuchs of the women’s team win the Boneyard Open at Keney Park.

    Welcome back, Tonya!

    I have no doubt that Tonya Cardozo will help Geno & Co., but I thought the UConn athletic department was in serious financial straits, to the tune of tens of millions in the hole. How many other departments on campus — academic, especially — could justify adding another coach/professor/advisor...

    Which of the "newbies" will be the biggest surprise?

    Whoever can play defense the best will get off the bench first. I’m guessing that Shade will remind us of another midwestern low-profile star, Kelly Faris.

    Head height is one thing, but note how much higher her shoulders are compared to the others.

    Ayanna working on her shot

    Uh oh. The readout on the ball retriever says 1 shot made out of 57 attempts.

    Our new bigs: what do we know?

    We got a decent look at Ayanna Patterson this year and we saw glimpses of her potential as a rebounder and physical presence. Jana has been involved to some extent in practice for a couple of months and apparently Ice had has been active recently. Do we have any reliable — or even speculative...

    How did you become a huskie fan?

    Joe coached at Middlebury where I played in the late 60’s Before moving to UConn in 1969. Joe Jr and Bill were ballboys at our games. My time at UConn was 72-76, when Sunday soccer got its start. Highlights include the rivalry with Brown, New England championships, and playing St. Louis in...

    How did you become a huskie fan?

    While working on my PhD at UConn in the 70’s, I was Joe Morrone’s assistant on the soccer team. To pick up a few bucks I worked security for men’s bball in the field house. Once Geno came along I was in Maryland but my wife and I have followed the women loyally since the ‘94 team. We attended...

    UCONN-Texas post game thread

    Let’s thank Vic for parking Morris and Jones on the bench as we pulled away. Morris had done a great job on Azzi defensively and was Texas’ best scoring threat. Jones could have fouled out our bigs.

    Let's meet the women of Kutztown State University Basketball

    Kutztown lost its best player to graduation. A couple of returnees averaged 10-11 ppg. Not much size in the post.

    How many arenas have you attended?

    Been chasing the UCONN women for almost 30 years from my home in Maryland: Gampel XL Villanova (campus arena) Georgetown (campus gym) Maryland Temple Seton Hall (campus and Prudential Center) NCState East Carolina (easiest to sneak in) USF UCF University of the Virgin Islands (Holiday...

    Where is Yanna?

    If I had been on that team when I was that age, I guarantee that we would play some tricks on the old farts who read the Boneyard obsessively looking for info. Maybe a phony bandage, maybe a “missing player,” maybe platform shoes to add 3” to someone’s height, etc

    Nika. That one sequence in 3rd where she made 4 straight plays sealed the deal for me.

    Roll call: Long timers

    Apparently I didn’t get around to joining until a few years later, but I have been following the Yard since the late 90’s. My UConn basketball roots date to the 70’s when I was in grad school and worked the men’s games as a sort of security guard. My fondest memory is teaming with Biff, JS and...

    Kiki decides on Nov 4th 2021

    It can argued that grad school/law school/etc. matter even more than where one acquires a baccalaureate degree. Undergrad academic success at any of Kiki’s options will open the door to a first rate graduate education.
