    2024 Tournament Attendance

    So with 2 sellouts and a capacity just north of 10,000 Storrs would be on the high side of that average. Unless they count the play-in game which apparently had very low attendance.

    UConn stats... Nika, Paige and Liya update...

    Nika is also in 3rd place for most assists in a season (230 and counting in 2023-24). Sue Bird is in 2nd place (231 in 2001-02). As noted above, Nika already holds 1st place with 284 in 2022-23. Amazing that she's only 2 assists away from having the top 2 spots on that very impressive list of...

    Who would u pick?

    If the one player who is suddenly healthy could also magically have this full season of experience, no doubt I'd pick Jana to address our lack of height and post depth issues. But if the magic only works for making a player healthy now and going forward, I'd pick Aubrey because she could slide...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    At this point I would imagine she's waiting for the signing period April 17-May 15, when the tournament hoopla will have died down, and the portal will be closed (on May 1, I think). That way her announcement won't have to compete for attention with anything else.

    HOOPHALL AWARDS, the site to vote for Paige & Aaliyah, starting Friday

    Looks like the voting period has ended, but the 2024 winners have not yet been posted. I know I did my part for Paige and Aaliyah.

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    In that case, I wonder if Aubrey's return has any impact on her decision. It really shouldn't, I'm no expert but I wouldn't expect Aubrey back before late December/January, and even then with some serious minutes limitations.

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    Are you aware that all caps online is the equivalent of screaming? A strong conference schedule (such as the soon to be defunct Pac-10) is a much easier sell to recruits than a strong out of conference schedule. And the former does not preclude the latter.

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    One of the advantages that UConn has traditionally had in recruiting is that great players want to play for the best, with the best, and against the best. So playing for Geno and CD is a major plus, especially with the reputation that they have for preparing WNBA- ready players. But who knows...

    Not surprising, but so disappointing for Aaliyah.

    Return of the mask

    Last year she broke her nose pre-season, and we don't know how many days she may have been held back from practice while any swelling went down and the mask was made. For that matter, there may be some swelling now that prevents her from wearing the mask without undue discomfort. I'm guessing...

    Return of the mask

    I believe Rebecca Lobo also wore a mask for a while. Aaliyah's in good company.

    Top 3 Things You Want to See Wednesday Night Against Nova at Gampel at 7:00 p.m.. Game is on SNY.

    Actually I'd prefer it the other way around, 15 assists and 10 points. Those 15 assists would translate to at least 30 points and would get Nika closer to the career assists record (which I really want for her.)

    Top 3 Things You Want To See Against Creighton On Monday At Noon At The XL

    Maybe I should have specified single digit turnovers for the whole game, I thought we were going to surpass that in the first quarter. (It worked out okay though, I think we had 6 in the first quarter but then only 4 the rest of the game.)

    Paige coming back!! Aubrey too!! (Merged)

    You're not the only one who was impressed with Jana's tournament play. Right now it seems like there's just a few of us on the Jana bandwagon, but I have a feeling that's gonna change next fall.

    UConn stats.... Update on Aaliyah and Nika.... moving on up...

    We have to make our layups, not just to win games but to get Nika that record. No missed shots off any passes from Nika!

    Paige coming back!! Aubrey too!! (Merged)

    I'm thinking Brady will start in place of either KK or Shade, or possibly El Alfy. Depends on our need for size.
