    Score prediction thread for Temple game 2

    In our first meeting, we played our best 20 minutes of the year, jumping out to a 52 - 18 halftime lead. We hit 20 of 26 (18 of 21 inside the arc) the Owls limped to the locker room. They regrouped and out-scored us in the 2nd half 52 - 45. I have a hunch that the Owls will be better...

    OT: Confusing coaching strategy

    I just finished watching a game between Rutgers and Nebraska men. Although I am not a student of the finer points of basketball, I am struggling to understand a strategy that cost Nebraska the game. With about 61 seconds left in the game Nebraska had the ball with a 3 point lead. The point...

    Four Special Admirers of the Streak!!!

    I recall threads in the past that discuss recruits who would rather create their own legacies than join UConn's well-established team first culture. I believe that these young women already see themselves as Huskies and very much a part of UConn's evolving legacy. Their first choice will be to...

    1000 Point Watch List

    Not on a bet! I would not trade our ball girl for Kelsey (I know that she is an outstanding basketball player and probably an outstanding teammate and lovely human being, as well). I love the chemistry of our young women just the way they are.

    Memo to Saniya...

    I could not agree more! Saniya has done everything asked of her for four years. She had the "misfortune" of bad timing relative to her point guard predecessors, as well as untimely injuries, but she has been a hard-working and dedicated Husky from day one. I am sure that Gabby, Kia, Pheese...

    Memo to Saniya...

    I was a little disappointed that when asked about the "core four" in his presser, he responded without mentioning Saniya. I thought he missed a great opportunity to bring her into the conversation.

    The Fantastic Four

    I think that the easy justification for the name, "Big 3" is that they came to UConn in the same class, they developed and became great together, winning an unprecedented 4 NC's, then left UConn as the top 3 draft choices in the WNBA. Of course, there were many outstanding and invaluable...

    UCONN's remaining schedule... predict the # of losses...

    I disagree that a loss will take the pressure off these kids. I don't think they feel any pressure - they have such trust and belief in each other that they are just having fun playing one game at a time. When they get to the NCAA Tournament, the only thing they will have on their minds is...

    The Fantastic Four

    I REALLY like this, as well! Core 4 sounds rather mundane. I know this group has been referred to as "blue collar", but from my seat, the way they are gelling as a team makes them more electric every game. However, I am happy to reserve the "Fant4stic" moniker for the "Fin4al".

    The Maryland Game

    You have to be the only person in the entire husky nation who would even imagine such a trade. The New England Patriots once went undefeated in the regular season – after losing the Super Bowl, no one cared.

    Nebraska Pre-Game Presser With Coach and Players

    It is the fiction of a lazy, envious, or biased mind that needs to believe that the success of the UConn program is based exclusively on the number of HS AA it recruits. It is the same mind that is convinced that the Patriots success is only a result of their ability to cheat.

    Nebraska Pre-Game Presser With Coach and Players

    I found the question to Williams about transfers curious - "They (Geno) like to keep a small roster every year - they recruit from a pool of the 11 or 12 best players and then 3 or 4 leave every year - is that good for women's basketball?" "Should WCBB reduce the # of scholarships to prevent...

    Kelsey Mitchell is not an All American...

    I'm not sure if Kelsey qualifies for AA recognition or not - there is no question that she is an extremely gifted basketball player. Unfortunately, she plays in a system that is undisciplined and promotes a one-on-one style of play. David mentioned that she "carried" her team in the first...

    Geno's Thoughts on Molly Bent & More

    Although I understand that the competition was weak yesterday, I still love the way Molly moves - defensively, offensively (with and without the ball) - great hustle and an understanding of the system beyond her limited time at UConn. She reminds me so much of Kelly.

    Re: Megan Walker's Twitter Page

    I agree! I was trying to remember a "prized" recruit who struggled with her decision for so long and then chose UConn? It seems that the young women who choose us know what they want. Regarding the "body language" - I thought that her pics during her official visit to UConn lacked the...

    Your first telephone number

    802-254-2246 - 4-party line. One long, two shorts - my sister used to get so upset with Louise Hickey when she would eavesdrop on her boyfriend conversations, or pick up 5 times in a minute to indicate that she needed the line.

    From her first game as a freshman at UConn, she played like a pro! Always moving, always around the ball, always looking for the open man, always involved in the crucial play - quintessential team player. I work out every day while watching her UConn games - she was electrifying. In my...

    Maya is my number one, as well, MaleV! I am currently rewatching all the games from her freshman year at UConn - she played like a senior from her first day. Constantly moving without the ball - looking to contribute in any way she could. Poetry in motion. She was the quintessential team...

    Exactly! And, as much as we love to watch perfection, imagine what it must feel like to participate in it. I am quite sure that when the "Big 3" left the locker room Geno, staff and the remaining 8 players didn't wonder what to do next. They have a plan and a belief in themselves that will...
