1 and done can also refer to the incresed usage of the portal. Seems like a coach not only has to recruit potential incoming layers, but also to keep those that they already have. Playing time...

Oregon State's Reagan Beers has entered the portal, per ESPN https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39925025/oregon-state-star-raegan-beers-entering-transfer-portal

I'm thinking that, early on, the starters will be: 5- Jana 4- Ice 3- Paige 2- Ash 1- KK There are 2 ACL's, another knee, and a serious concussion that cannot and should not, be rushed into playing 40 minutes. By tournament time, the recoveries from the injured list from last year will be...

I’ve only seen Sarah Strong in McD’s All Star Game, and the various videos in circulation, but she has a killer iut to 3, and a good handle. It remains to be seen how long it will take her to get in UConn shape, especially on defense. Once she gets there, she will be a force.

I'd like to see Geno pick up a veteran big, and use her and Jana the same way Dan Hurley uses our bigs on the men's side. Geno likes to play an up tempo offense, and this would give him fresh legs everywhere, to wear out our opponents come the 4th quarter. If he gets a big for just one year...

I hope this prompts Geno to pursue a veteran big, who can share time with Jana. Dan Hurley has had a pretty good "big" strategy the last couple of years.

Sorry to hear this. I get it, but I still am sorry to see her go. She bailed our backsides out when we were in trouble. I hope she lands somewhere she gets a chance to play. Best of luck,young lady, and thank you.

Nika's outstanding defense last night, not getting into foul trouble, and a good 3 point shot strengthened her chances of getting selected.

Lesson learned from last night: Don't leave the game in the hands of the refs. UConn 87 Bama 63

Happens on every screen set, in every game. THAT play, let the players play.

She's drawing energy from UConn's 11 National Championship teams.

They have to get back to sharing the basketball, and get away from watching and waiting for Paige to do something great (which she usually does!) When they are open: shoot! Having been there before is what gives us the edge.

Cause we don't care about USC. Paige was absolutely wiped out at the end against Duke.

Antonelli: ugh. Stop, just STOP TALKING! Who just committed that foul? As for Rebecca, I think that she is the best there is, except for when she does the UConn games, as I think that she tries too hard to NOT be a UConn homer.

She should. She played really well with it!

Doesn't matter. If one wants to be called the champs, one has to be able to beat everyone.

Sorry. Typing on my phone

I would think that Aaliyah deciding whether to stay or go would be a deciding factor as to where Sarah String decides to commit to.

I couldn't count how many times, against SC, that a UConn ball handler dribbled along the baseline, under the basket, and out the other side, when a layup/reverse layup, which they've done successfully countless times, was available but passed up.

South Carolina 97 UConn 68 4th quarter SC runs away with it, from a gassed but game UConn team.

Now it's 6 against 12, as Q hardly saw the floor against St. Johns. Geno is running his starters into the ground, again. Cardoso's absence won't make a dent in the outcome, except in the SC blocked shots total.

Irrelevant since there are no longer any Mabry's on the roster at ND.

Ines Bettencourt

1985: During Geno's first year at UConn. I was studying Sports Medicine and we had to take various "Sports Techniques" courses. Geno actually taught the basketball class. We had to go to a game (in the old Field House) and write a report on the game.

FWIW: according to Wikipedia, she has turned pro in Lithuania https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just%C4%97_Jocyt%C4%97

There's still plenty of Big East basketball left to be played, but my answer as to KK or Ashlynn for Freshman of the year, is: Yes...Co Big East Freshmen of the Year. They have both stepped up big time and taken on a lot of responsibility in the wake of another season of devastating injuries...

Unfortunately, as the UConn men's team showed, against Seton Hall, the farther the shot comes from the hoop, the lower the percentage. And there will be those 4/21 games

With Paige's injury history, along with her NIL success, it would be wise for her to stay an additional year, and let UConn pay for her Masters degree. One can never get too much education, and NIL has changed the rules (relax: I don't mean literally) as to having the need to make some money.

How about giving Aaliyah a break? She's gotten the crap beat out of her the last year and a half. If she goes down because she's just plain worn down, and Amari has only 1:30 combined playing time, the UConn ship is sunk.

My issue with the playing time is that when we are beating teams by 30+ points, why not put her in for the 4th quarter, instead of the last 30 seconds? So UConn only wins by 25 instead of 40? Same with Ines. She agreed to come to UConn when the team was in deep trouble, injury wise. She...

Aaliyah won't be a post in the W. She's power forward playing the post out of necessity at UConn, and that's where she'll play in the pros.

#3 the players move on offense, with their heads down, from one side of the arc to the other. Watch old Larry Bird videos: if you weren't looking for the ball, you got hit in the head with it.

My wife and I both noticed the difference when Paige takes the ball upcourt, as opposed to both Nika and KK. Paige is very deliberate, as you said, but that seems to lead to everyone else parking themselves on the 3 point arc, and standing around, instead of cutting the lane looking for a pass...

They do like to stand there and watch how pretty their shots are. FOLLOW. YOUR. SHOT!!!!

So sorry to hear this. That is why I think that she and Paige should use their covid year and stay at UConn beyond their 4 years. With their history of injuries, they would be wise to get their Masters degrees for free. Besides that, they probably can't afford the pay cut they would get...
