I had to read the article X2 to figure out why most of the comments here are in agreement that Uconn is recruiting Chen. I came away with her having played for a DT squad in hs and her current coach being an Alum. of Uconn. And Berube having spoken to Geno regarding Chen. Speculations abound...

At some point injuries must be put aside-- ND also have injured players sitting. I'm very impressed with Ivy coaching abilities. She knows how to out-coached or if you prefer beat Uconn. And am now puzzled and questioning why all the looking back to glory days (including bringing back on the...

One of the many double messages from Geno. He has also stated very clearly that the ball should always find the best player/shooter on the team. Often resulting in screens after screens for the same player.

I thought the piece was well written. And am in agreement w/ LwrcasefaN. No competitive team today are playing five against as many players as the other team carries. The days when Geno can use 5 players to beat every other team are gone/over. And so are the days when freshmen sit and wait. Play...

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but, talks about having 2-teams, and running other teams to death sound irresponsible to me. We have 4 upper-class wo/men: AE, PB, Nika and Aubrey. Of these 4, PB and Aubrey are the ones competing at a high level. Sadly, AE has not hit her stride-- perhaps...

Were we a #-team playing and losing to the #2? Seems reasonable to me. It happens quite often; indeed, it's the expected outcome. Of course we must accept the fact that the numbering/ranking means something. If we think otherwise-- well, you might say we weren't suppose to lose. I don't buy the...

We have all been feverish, even before the season began. Talks about going undefeated, having a B-team that would also be ranked ran amok. Even the players were saying that other teams will be forced to pick their poison on a given night. Suddenly, the same people are talking about shuffling the...

She is The Boneyard's Bone. We think and talk about her endlessly-- in sleep, therapy and our waking hours. What will we do/be without this life-giving entity. But, I must admit that yours is an 'interesting' twist about an old Bone.

These stats are great at the team level; however, across teams their usefulness is questionable. Nika's game works well for Uconn but, would I say the same for her running LV? Perhaps. Van Lith can create her shots and you have to defend her carefully-- not sure that Nika is up there. Or, she...

Thanks for sharing this FairView. Nothing wrong with reminding us about the insanity that has come to enveloped us. Speaking sense to others pocket book and their armies is ... well, good luck. One of the things that have fascinated me about Amer Univ is the way in which the culture of sport...

Fascinating or fascination! A couple of days ago many on this Thread were in a manic state about how we were going to run over the oppositions on our way to cutting down the net. And some still talk about starting the freshmen-- although one of them-- Samuel, has seemingly fallen from grace...

I will apologize in advance for singling you (and others) out, even if you cannot use that for anything, but unless you are in the 'know' here-- and you failed to convince me that you are-- should you be saying all these things about the coach? Much of this seems to hover around 'character'. In...

I accept your point even though its a bit circular-- they would have broken the press were they not standing around ... And, because they were standing around they had to be tired (how dare us think that they were taken apart by the opposing team). I do remember however every one (here and...

I don't have a favorite combination of players-- which is what it breaks down to be. Looking back at the recent season the only player I trusted with the ball away from the basket was Edward. That final game was a nightmare and exposed the fact that we had no competent guard to dribble through...

This is a surprise. Didn't know that HuskyNan (had available, and) was giving out NILs!

I'm glad you had the guts to say this. I might add that Azzi's injury might be a lot more than we know. It might be playing its tricks on her cutting and going to the basket abilities, as opposed to taking open shots. I have always been puzzled as to why teams (ND, LV, M, MSU, BU, AZ, S, etc)...

HopJim, why don't you come out and say it? GA should be fired. he should be asked to retire. he is no longer a coach for the future ... (Take your pick). After all, he has an assoc., 2 assistants, and a grad asst. (not to mention numerous free advises that are ready on demand). More help would...

It had to be clear that Nova had no chance of winning the game-- one might even say that the V was decided well before the 4th. In such a situation a well disciplined team is quite aware of injuries because you are running on high octane-- strange things can happen. Of course they can happen at...

What wonderful eyes you have Mr/Ms Ardenque! Well, each to his/her own. Outside the rabbit hole, Siegrist is a fantastic player who can score everywhere on the court-- even when doubled by Uconn star defenders. Perhaps I should read you as asking how Siegrist would fare had she been assigned to...

One of the commonplace criticisms of Geno (that I haven't shared) is that he gets players that are easy to coach. for me, most of what transpired in this post-game are things that have become ritualistic remarks about the team. I have for a long time worried that his remarks will catch up to the...

All should go back and listen to GA post-SJU game interview. Fudd cannot be parceled into the team's equation; and, CD- in the view here-- is not ready and probably should sit, but she wont. The team clearly has problems with the top teams in the BE-- its successes not withstanding. Indeed, for...

You and a few others should have stopped or warned by HuskyNann that the health of a (Uconn)player comes first, second, third and on ..... A concussion whether seen as a Dx or a set of symptomatology for which a Dx of concussion is the R/O Dx, is not something that can be resolved by playing...

As an external follower-- one who relies on the posted games 8greatful for such services), I think there is a tendency to confuse a multiplicity of things. There is of course a few here who would take your head if you do anything less than bow down to GA. And of course the many who know how a...

I'm glad we won, otherwise it would be a feat to open The Boneyard. I agree that this is no longer a rivalry game/series-- as in #1 and #2; that it isn't between coaches-- GA & Pat; Conferences-- BE vs S; and, the current players are elsewhere in their thoughts. And all are in agreement that...

So, in a moment of panicking about all of our records and keeping them alive we are hearing the voice of the Red Fairy saying that it was always a myth that we had two top level teams parading as one; that we can just plug in a player and go w/out missing a beat; and on and om. Imagine the...

It is my view that when we post things we do so to inform others and to start a dialogue. Once posted it is out of our hands regarding how others read it, etc. My comments were never intended to belittle-- indeed, I found your said statements about young girls interesting and its implied...

Just couldn't let this one go-- it was too funny. As someone who have written and research about stress, your comments fit a genre of 19th century studies known as 'the body without stress.' Today, we collectively see these incitements as 'folk' knowledge. In a recent interview I had with a...

All would think that would be the first or one of the first people to bring such good news; instead, s/he's running around with other 'facts'. Just saying the obvious. Looking forward to see one of my favourite coaches on the sideline-- smart against smart.

I thought we, very recently, changed conference!! We are not even a P5 candidate in MBB-- when was the last time we advanced beyond the first game? Yet, we keep saying that these P5 conf are going to see our worth and swoop in. One person here went as far as linking us with CLEMSON as a possible...

Well, the only thing left for me to do, in protecting one of my favorite players, is to hide the matches from you, seeing that you have already poured the gasoline.

This amounts to turning the players/team into wholes for the satisfaction of what? a NC? If such a player were to SIGN with Uconn for 2-years would an incoming freshman pt have a chance of playing over such a senior and talented guard? This is radically different from a scenario in which the...

What is all this in aid of jchuskie? Defending Muffet? The latter would suggests some truths to what she is saying. Why not think through the whole before putting pen to paper-- you might come to another conclusion, even about Dawn. I will leave Dawn's project in this un-examined because I am...

Many thanks TonyC. And me? I like this loss. It's not a set back. Its more re-calibration. We were on a 'false' run- especially after the Vols, but still with players in and out, and too much of a one woman show. This loss shakes things up; we need a big-- E & D to step up/in and do more than...

Hej HuskyNan, this was a wonderful initiative. Enjoyed reading/meeting all these posters and how far back people can remember. Also, it appears to have had a calming effect. A great time-out/energy saving strategy for the storm(s) ahead! Well done. Sneaky.

I came to the Boneyard by chance (2013, that may have been an official date), and stayed despite not posting a lot. In many ways I will confessed that the Boneyard had been teaching me about the Team and, about women's bb in general. I was a student at Uconn when Gamble was first opened, and I...
