    UConn - Notre Dame post game

    This is who we are now. Parity and injuries have evened the playing field. Offensively too much dribbling and the switching on defense (help out) was abysmal. Our youth shows when we have to play from behind but I love UCONN … men and women … caution all who criticize that this team will be a...

    UCONN - NC State post mortem thread

    Where was the bench in the second half? Aside from Q seems we stood and watched Paige. When she hit open players we acted like a deer in headlights. Should be interesting to watch Geno navigating this team which isn’t as good as we thought nor as bad as we looked today. Go Huskies … the sky...

    Ice Brady out for the season

    Feel for this kid … 3000 miles from home to play ball at her dream school and now injured for the season. Hope she heals quickly in body and mind.

    Anyone have a favorite Husky?

    Rooting for Aubrey this year because of the surgery she’s coming back from. Hope she recovers enough to contribute quality minutes.

    Who are some of your favorite past UCONN players?

    Ashley Battle. She gutted it out for four years getting better each season and providing a great defensive presence off the bench.

    Off/def subs

    Post reminds me of Tulane men’s basketball years ago when the coach would substitute five for five during games with subs and their fresh legs being called “the posse.” Fans loved it and responded enthusiastically much like nowadays when walk-ons get some court time.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thread [Merged Thread]

    Starts at the top and Geno seems grouchy and tired … like me. I hope he is physically OK and finds joy with the family because basketball doesn’t seem to be doing it for him anymore. The team feeds off him and they seem to be playing scared afraid of displeasing the coach. Or, the old truism...

    Saylor Poffenbarger in Transfer Portal [merged thread]

    Took Saylor one year to conclude what Courtney Eckmark realized after two years. Smart kid … She’ll do well no matter where she lands.

    Returners, newcomers fighting for minutes on deep, talented team

    Good point … much like Ashley Battle was often used back in the day.

    Returners, newcomers fighting for minutes on deep, talented team

    Looks like a ten player rotation. Remember thinking back then that the “bench” would have beaten most of the teams we played. Side … nice game for Svet!

    The one thing about this years team that I enjoyed the most is ..

    Growing pains for sure but the unbridled enthusiasm was so infectious. Enjoyed this post and comments.

    Mir, redux

    Like the Kalana Green comparison; quick, athletic, hops and agility. With time could be a defensive stopper and always good for a swift unexpected bucket. Beautiful spontaneous smile.

    Oops Geno

    Paige’s defense reminds me of D Taurasi ... opportunistic. Liked the L Bird comparison by MD#12 Fan also. Gee, if Paige ends up like those two disappearing defenders I’ll be thrilled!

    What sport or other endeavor requires the greatest all-around athletes?

    With the passing of Rafer Johnson reminds me of what great athletes Heptathlon and Decathlon participants are.

    Jeff Jacobs Words Matter

    Remember watching that show. Recall Jeff being upset about a poster threatening him or his family re. something he wrote about UConn basketball. One of you three then pointed out that was the Men’s Basketball site not the Women’s on the Boneyard. Jeff didn’t seem appeased! Ah, the good old days...

    Prisoners of the moment past ...

    Parity ... parity ... we clamored for so long. Now we have it but are so sad. When you get to the top of the mountain you become the mountain. Not easy being the standard bearers of (women’s basketball). Have to take everyone’s best shot. From Nick Sabin who knows of such things ... Seems...

    Oh Charlie

    Reading over these posts reminded me why I never get excited about verbal commitments until the student athlete is signed, sealed and delivered... oh, like EDD ... hmn ... well, I will make this guarantee ... someday I will not be lurking on the Boneyard and CT taxes will go up next year ...

    For the Boneyard lurkers...

    Long time lurker and feel most of the points I might make have been made. BY has intelligent posters and see no reason to repackage comments that have been clearly posted. During the game I get wound up and never feel my thoughts are collected enough to write legibly! Enjoying this season...

    Tattoos

    Wondering if this is Geno or CD doing the cover-ups? Regardless, in my 70’s and can’t deny tats have entered the mainstream and hope the UConn staff has also discovered the same measure of enlightment!

    USF Ruins the integrity of Basketball!

    Yeah, Jacobs as I recall, didn’t think much of the Boneyard or Courant readers who cancelled their subscriptions after his column condemning the Sales, Geno and Harry intervention!
