    One More Unique UConn "Stat"

    As we are overwhelmed by quantitative measures of success (11 NC's, 104 consecutive wins, etc., etc.), something that is surely unique to our UConn women's basketball program is the very high incidence of biracial players who are offspring of interracial marriages. Currently: Saniya, Gabby...

    UConn Lineup, by Actual Positions.

    The UConn lineup (Kia available) is not IMO Kia(1), Saniya(2), Lou(3), Pheesa(4), and Gabby (5). Lou is listed as a g/f. She is actually a "w." We have no "c" starting. So here's what starts: Kia(g), Saniya(g), Lou(w), Pheesa(f), and Gabby(f). Subs: When Butler comes in, she becomes "c" and...

    SNY Benches Napheesa!

    During the lead-in promo to UConn games, SNY shows five players (presumably starters), casually posing, full frontal view in home white uniforms. (Be alert and don't blink! You only get about five seconds of viewing time, pre-game and halftime.) Nat is in the center, flanked by Gabby, Kia, Lou...

    Yet Another Incredible Stat.

    One of the published articles noted that Temple's loss to UConn was its second in a row. Back-to-back losses. Yikes! :eek: The last time UConn wcbb lost two consecutive games was at the tail end of the 1992-1993 season! When this season began, this streak (no btb losses) had reached 849 games...

    OT: Quick Break -- shoe-in or shoo-in?

    Many 'Yarders appear to be uncertain about which term to use (shoe-in or shoo-in) to predict a sure thing/certain winner/slam dunk. Merriam-Webster (backed up by other reliable publications) assures us that "shoo-in" is correct. Perhaps some are thinking of a persistent salesman getting his...

    OT: "I could(n't) care less."

    The ultimate expression of disdain -- total lack of interest -- is to state: "I couldn't care less" about it. Occasionally posters lapse into carelessness and state (mistakenly): "I could care less," which suggests that, yes, an ounce of concern still exists. However virtuous, it's not what the...

Looking to 2017 my wish list of honorees includes Sherrill Milnes, either Gene Hackman or Alan Alda, and either Mark O'Connor or Bela Fleck. Anyone have names to...

    The Badass Award for the Nebraska Victory. . .

    . . . goes to The Team! :):):):):) All nine UConn Huskies played and contributed to Win#11/86. A good case could be made for several individual awards but there's no way to justify three, even four, Badass Awards when playing such an overmatched opponent. So, in addition to the customary "W"...

    OT: Interesting Stat % of Assisted Baskets.

    The Warriors (who else?) reportedly made 45 baskets with 41 assists in a recent game. This came up for recent in-game discussion and a graphic that showed that they also have the highest NBA percentage of "assisted baskets" at about 72%. New to me and possibly useful. Anyone know the UConn %...
