Wrong time to make that call. Now for all the purists who would claim there is no wrong time...I would say that a referee must understand the moment. With three seconds left, a kid is going to have to force up a quick shot. It either goes in or it doesn't. The players get to decide the outcome...

When I look at players like Cheryl Miller, Chamique Holdsclaw, Rebecca Lobo, Jennifer Rizzotti, Nykeshia Sales, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Tamika Catchings, Shea Ralph, Svetlana Abrosimnova, Candace Parker, Alana Beard, Maya Moore, Tina Charles, Kara Wolters, Sabrina Ionescu, A'ja Wilson, Aliyah...

COMMENTS UConn has been competing in the NCAA Tournament since 1989. This is their 23rd Final Four appearance. UConn women have advanced to the final four in 15 of the last 16 years. This is the fifth time that both the UConn men and the UConn women have advanced to the Final Four. It is no...

Comments Here we are in the elite 8... Who would have thought this was possible with Azzi, Jana El Alfy, Aubrey, Caroline, and Ayanna, all of which are sitting on the bench with injuries. With two freshmen in the starting line-up and a redshirt freshman first off the bench. My opinion is...

There has to be a better way to determine who goes dancing in March. For years we have seen the Pac 12 Conference has sent 5-7 teams to the dance in March only to see them almost all eliminated by the final four. This year was no exception the PAC 12 started with 7 teams and they are now down...

COMMENTS Yeah baby we are in the sweet, sweet, sweet sixteen. It certainly wasn't an easy road for UConn to get here...injuries and foul trouble aside, catching Jackson State in the first round...no way Jackson State was a 12 seed...they were a much better team than a 12. Then Syracuse was no...

COMMENTS Well, one down 5 to go... With the round of 64 behind us, first I will give kudos to Jackson State getting into the NCAA tournament is very difficult coming from the SWAC but they did it and they came to play. They weren't intimidated or awestruck by the big stage. They...

COMMENTS Well here we go the time of the year we all live for. I took time off from doing the analysis during the Big East since it would have been rather redundant as UConn had already played many of the teams twice as UConn was going to play some of them for the third time. During the NCAAs...

COMMENTS Hard to believe that we are already looking at the last game of the regular season. The first UConn vs Providence game this season resulted in a 44-point victory for UConn (85-41). I believe there will be a small change to Providence's starting line-up this time around. It will...

COMMENTS Game two will be played on Wednesday at Gampel Pavillion - at 7:00 pm. The first meeting between these two BE schools resulted in an 81 - 60, UConn victory. Villanova is a fairly young team starting 1 senior, 3 Juniors, and 1 Freshman. The starters play 73 percent of the total...

COMMENTS In the first meeting this season between DePaul and UConn, the Huskies came away with a 37-point victory 88-51. The game played out as I suspected with the Huskies running up a big lead early and then backing off the gas out of Geno's close friendship with Coach Bruno. This game was...

COMMENTS Game 2 with the Creighton Bluejays. UConn prevailed in the first meeting 94 to 50 in Omaha. In that game, UConn demonstrated a suffocating defense forcing 16 turnovers from a team that usually takes pretty good care of the basketball. UConn held a rebounding edge of 45 to 29...

COMMENTS Georgetown is 16 - 9 overall and 6 - 8 Big East. They last played UConn on January 7th. In their last outing, they started (Graceann Bennett, Kelsey Ransom, Alex Cowan, Ariel Jenkins, and Victoria Rivera). The most consistent starters for Georgetown in the last 10 games are: (Kelsey...

COMMENTS It has to be very tough to have to face UConn when you are at the bottom of your conference after UConn lost a big game on national television. Xavier is having a very difficult season with 1 win and 20 losses. I don't expect UConn to have much trouble with Xavier. I think Geno will...

COMMENTS Hmmm...Let's see, one of the things I wanted to see in this game was that UConn was preparing itself to go down to Columbia, South Carolina, and take on the number one-ranked team in the country. I don't think that this game did that unless you acknowledge that Aaliyah Edwards is...

COMMENTS Well, here we are playing Seton Hall in the second game of an away / home series. In the first one, UConn won handily on Seton Hall's home court 83 to 59. The starters in that game were Azana Bains, Micah Gray, A'jqh Davis, Tyanna Lops, and, Amari Wright. After looking at Seton...

COMMENTS Game 2 of an away-and-home series. Game one was a tough night for the Red Storm and it was a home game for St. John's. I don't see the Red Storm playing UConn at Gampel being any easier for them. Oddly, they started the last game they had Owen Skye and Phoenix Gedeon. I don't think...

COMMENTS It was hard to come back to the keyboard after that devastating loss to Notre Dame. It was great seeing all the stars of yesteryear there after some hadn't been back in over 10 years. Emotions were running high for many. Then to see UConn falter at home to our rival Notre Dame was...

Someone posted that Geno said that Paige was hurt in the first half and it affected her for the entire game...does anyone know anything more regarding this?

COMMENTS This is a game we have been waiting for. I am really glad that we are playing this one at Storrs. This will pit Notre Dame’s exceptional back-court and Westbeld against UConn’s 4 guard line-up which features the NCAA’s most efficient player in Paige Bueckers and an emerging...

COMMENTS Well since this is the second time UConn has played Marquette this season...the tale of the tape will be a comparison of last game stats and what the team usually averages. TALE OF THE TAPE ……………………….........UConn………Marquette 1st Game Score……………95…………………64 Average...

COMMENTS St. John's has an RPI ranking of 74 and a SOS rating of 59...their projected RPI is 122 and their projected SOS is 60. So far the teams they have played have the following RPIs: 337, 214, 239, 178, 146, 127, 85, 79, 75, 42, 24, 23, 14. UConn has played teams with the following RPI...

COMMENTS Let's face it folks with the way UConn is playing of late, this game is not going to be much of a contest. Providence only averages 56.7 points per game. They only shoot threes at .294 making an average of 4.1 per game. They do not have a player who is a three-point threat. Their...

COMMENTS This game will be the first game without the services of Aubrey Griffin who brought the energy off the bench. It will be interesting to see what adjustments Geno will make with regard to his substitution pattern as well as his overall strategy concerning how the team plays. The bench...

COMMENTS and ANALYSIS Creighton will play 8 players and will more than likely start the following players: 1. Emma Ronsiek - 33.4 minutes/game; 18.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 1.6 threes per game 2. Lauren Jensen - 33.8 minutes/game; 17.0 points, 4.2...

Happy New Year one and all! May you and your families have a blessed and joyous New Year!

COMMENTS Happy New Year Boneyarders!!! Well, we are playing our last game of the year against 18th-ranked and undefeated Marquette. Marquette boasts a very experienced starting line-up as they play 2 graduates, 2 seniors, and 1 sophomore as per player bios. If you go by the roster it says 1...

COMMENTS I wasn't going to do a game analysis on this one but after learning that this game counts in UConn's record as a win or a loss...I decided to do one but, to have a little different approach. Because I don't anticipate this game being much of a challenge for UConn given that Toronto...

COMMENTS UConn is coming off a pretty good game where the passing was crisper, the pace was faster, they got out in transition and scored, and three-point shooting was pretty good. In short, what was there not to like? Of course, this kind of game begs the question...can UConn sustain that...

COMMENTS Well, let's see now does a week off help the Huskies or hurt them? I guess that since the Huskies have been pretty banged up and because they have had to shuffle the starting line-up around quite a bit with the uncertainty of Caroline Ducharme and the inconsistent play of Aubrey this...

COMMENTS NORTH CAROLINA We can neither let North Carolina's 6-3 record nor North Carolina's opponent's low RPI ratings lull us into complacency. While it is true that compared to UConn's #7 RPI and its #2 SOS, University of North Carolina's #78 RPI and its #15 SOSS it would appear that...

COMMENTS Well, where to start...UConn has had a somewhat rough go of it lately. They got hit with the injury bug early on...first Jana El Alfy, then Ayanna Patterson, then Azzi Fudd, and now Caroline. You have an expectation coming into the season, especially after such a great experience...
