So later this year Geno will become the coach with the most wins. (And will he now be more inclined to call it quits after next year?

If her concern is playing time, she won't do better than BYU, especially among major contending programs. BYU will join the Big 12 this year so she'll get to show pro scouts what she can do among top competition. BYU also has just signed their best recruiting class so they should be competitive.

Lauren Gustin (BYU) is in the portal and there's a rumor she might be interested in UConn. Word is that Iowa and Utah are interested. Conflicting reports on whether she has one or two years of eligibility left. She played three years at BYU. Not sure what her role at UConn could be. She was a...

Uh, Vandy already has nine wins this year. And only lost to #9 Arizona by 2. Their game today against Texas A&M was postponed. They play Mizzou next on Sunday at home -- assuming both teams have enough players.

I agree with a lot of the points posters have made about the interior defense and rebounding. But did any of you critics notice that Arkansas had already played two games before their bus got to Hartford? This was UConn's first game. And that makes a big difference. Don't be surprised if...

Mike and his team are going to win a lot of games this year, and I think he knows that.

Exactly. This also gives the others coaches at least a glimmer of hope that they might keep their jobs next year. If Edsall stayed the rest of the season ALL of the other coaches and staff would have been too busy making calls, considering options, and sending out resumes to actually do their...

Sometimes naming a popular (with the players) assistant as interim coach will keep the players motivated to play well so the interim guy might get the head coaching job. But that doesn't seem like a credible scenario in this case. Do you think Randy had the class to tell his team that he was...

You now have an entire lame duck coaching staff and almost the whole season left to play. Yeah, I guess you do have more to worry about. "They told me to cheer up, things could be worse. And they were right. Things got worse."

Well, announcing your retirement after the second game of the season seems a bit out of the ordinary LOL! I guess there comes a time when you can still fool others but not yourself? Or how about "You can fire me... I quit! ... errrr... I retire!

Not having a good starting quarterback and a serviceable backup make winning impossible. Not having these essentials is a huge failure for a head coach. Heck, the top programs stock up on QBs and then shed them. Look at how many that were in the transfer portal are starting for lower level teams...

There's a vacuum, and Rutgers hasn't filled it yet. So the door is open, there's nobody to dethrone. But it will still be hard for UConn to be the school/team that does it.

A good rule in both politics and sports -- even "amateur" sports now -- is to "follow the money." The money comes from football -- from boosters, ticket sales, merchandise. but mostly from the media, and most of the media money now comes from ABC/ESPN/Disney and Fox, but CBS and Comcast/NBC...

Well, SC continues to get stronger. Every other team in the SEC will be vying for second place next season.

I moved down here from Connecticut eight years ago and my wife and I go to lots of shows and clubs (pre-pandemic) but have been to the Opry just two or three times. We can watch the show on TV for free. Most of the audience is tourists -- whom I love since they keep my taxes low. (How low? I pay...

Tom has been hired by Vandy as Shea's assistant.

I've been to many games there but never get used to it. It's the weirdest gym of any major college program. But don't underestimate the home team advantage it provides.

I bumped into Geno and Shea a few years ago here in Nashville at a summer AAU game. They were checking out a point guard from nearby Murfreesboro who I seem to remember had a pretty good college career.

I think you probably mean "partisan politics." Politics is just the mechanism we use to allocate resources in this country.

Politics and sports are almost inseparable now. Players wear political statements on their team apparel. Teams openly campaign for or against political candidates. Players are forming political union-like groups to negotiate their grievances and gain new benefits. Politicians rail about whether...

The name of the song was "Staying In" it was recorded by Bobby Vee.

If all spring sports are cancelled, then I believe every student athlete playing those sports would automatically have an extra year of eligibility if they and their school agreed on it. It would be like they all red-shirted a year. The only losers in this might be HS kids who don't get a...

I'm afraid you're right. Look at it this way. With 64 teams involved that's a minimum of 1,400 people. Odds are very good that several of them could come down with the virus and their whole team would have to be quarantined, and maybe all the players on the team that just beat them. But the...

The NCAA had one choice -- no fans or no Tournament. This decision is in the best interests of the student athletes and the important virus mitigation efforts in place in most states. There may still be venue changes as the cost to turn on the lights at some of these arenas makes it a financial...

At the rate the virus is spreading and the level of panic/concern in many states, we may see the Tourney cancelled or the games played mostly in empty gyms. County regulations that were just announced will probably prevent Stanford from hosting. There are 15 other first round sites and I think...

Funny thing is, Northwestern should probably already have a #2 seed -- and so should Maryland since the two have almost identical records. Northwestern will almost certainly be the #1 seed in the Big Ten Tourney when it goes to the third tie-breaker. So Maryland will probably have to beat Iowa...

UConn 63 SC 55

No. The refs let 'em play tonight, for sure. And they only called the most obvious illegal screens. But like Geno always says, you have to adjust to the way the refs are calling the game. UConn didn't.

Sure. She had some fouls. Hebard was eating her lunch. She wasn't coming out on the jump shooters giving them easy uncontested 10-12 footers, her passing was poor.

Get real. If he takes out Griffin, who does he put in? Oregon had five offensive threats and solid defenders out there. UConn could barely match up with three of them. All five of Oregon's starters had double figures. Ionescu had fewer than the other four. They didn't have a bench point or...

It was great to see a team at Gampel playing Geno's offense and executing it perfectly. Too bad they were wearing green and yellow.

Nice analysis. I, too, will be astonished if UConn makes the Final Four. It will help that they will be over seeded thanks to playing in a weak conference. But I see five of six Pac 12 teams, two SEC teams, Baylor, Louisville, NC State, etc. that could send them home. And UConn fans should be...

Arizona State will be ranked tomorrow. There will be a lot more attrition as all of these Pac 12 teams knock each other off. The Pac 12 could wind up not getting any #1 seed. UCLA had a close call with Colorado today which will give the pollsters pause, and Oregon had a dogfight with Arizona...
