OOOH, I may have to get to some Sun games this year! :)

I wonder if they do some fall training. Unfortunately there are some instances in which the head contact cannot be avoided - some trips, collisions with other players etc. Helmets can prevent or lessen concussions. The falling on cushy towels analogy works. I ride horses and helmets are...

I may be in the minority here, but I would have liked the game to have been called more tightly. One of the best things about WCBB to me is the freedom of movement and passing and running. I am not a fan of a "physical" game. I dont enjoy a game dominated by pushing and bumping in the post...

Wow! I am old. I taught Carly when her family first moved to CT and she was in the seventh grade!

I wonder if they could push the preliminary games to earlier days? Anybody know what the time gap is when they go to two regionals? Just occurred to me that will mean there wont be a "regional champion" since two teams will advance...

But if she "takes over" from the start, arent we left with last year's scenario? Everyone else stands around and waits for Paige. And if the other team's defense is effective against Paige, others are not experienced or comfortable "taking over".

I was at the game. There were many empty seats that certainly didnt show up as available when buying! Small student section with kids, I believe, still on break. Still, I would have guessed 7-8,000.

Just got my seat - chair back! Pretty cheap if you go to the UConn website. Secondary sites are more expensive at this point with fewer seats. Appears to be designed only to download to your phone - no paper option.

More inclusion from the Team!

If I could love this team more, this would do it. Incredibly thoughtful and touching.

Anybody else notice Paige's hospital bracelet? I had noticed it last game and she still wore it at the beginning of last night's game. Seems like she ripped away the injury when she discarded the bracelet before entering the game.

I looked up his profile and it said he was reading here a short time ago.

Even if she were ready and got all the okays from doctors and coaches, I don't think Paige would deliberately try to return to games on Senior Day. Why? Because it is Senior Day and she knows that her return would steal the headlines from the seniors who deserve it.

The team beat ND and Tenn this season. :D Always want those wins, no matter how the other team has been doing. Couldnt really enjoy the ND win due to Paige's injury, so this one is especially sweet!

I am afraid that no statement will be made today since it is past business hours. Wish they would give an idea of a time frame to provide more info.

I wish Saylor well. Sorry she felt like she didnt fit in and hope she finds her place. Her mom's comments about the social life and academics at UConn were odd considering the pandemic restrictions, but you dont choose your parents so...

I like this response: Jim Fuller @Jim_Fuller1 · 22m U.S. silver-medal equestrian team appears to include daughter of Bruce Springsteen and two others with unknown parents

I liked this pairing. It was more of the old-school "color commentator and play by play person" situation. When nobody is really a p-b-p person you tend to get that chatty irrelevant stuff. Ruoco mostly kept to the game and Lobo could add in her insights. In other games with Lobo, her...

I think everyone deals with competition differently. I would not interpret helping an opposing player as "lacking an edge". It is good sportsmanship and for all we know the player was thinking "I knocked you down and now Im going to smile and help you up so I can knock you down again!" ?

And they seem to be happy about it!

Have the "swag bags" always been so different? I wonder if it is a bit of a strain since I doubt that all 64 teams got them in years past. I get that WCBB doesnt have as much sponsorship, but it seems like some things (the puzzles?) are really head scratchers. Alone, however, this wouldnt be...

Does anyone know what the rule is for coaches returning? Geno has been isolating - does this mean when the time is up that he can rejoin the team immediately. Or will he have to isolate in Texas like everyone else did? I would imagine Shea would have to quarantine before returning since...

The problem is that the affected player has already been in contact with teammates and possibly opponents who can carry and transmit the virus. So one person sitting out doesn't do it. It would affect future games. BTW, it helps to use recent rather than historical data when evaluating the...

I was a bit surprised at the initial decision to have 64 teams there. Quite expensive for teams from distant areas with little chance of advancement. I kind of thought they might go to some local play-in games for the lower seeds first. And unlike in past years, the "Tourney Experience" will...

Texas Governor has lifted all restrictions and all facilities are allowed to operate at 100% capacity. Wonder how this will impact the arrangements for the women's tourney and efforts to keep everyone safe.

Thats it! Azzi is not allowed to watch Paige in person until she is enrolled at UConn! First there was the Tn game in which Paige struggled until the game saving shot. Then this game. Nope, she is not bringing good luck!

The only good thing is that the knee injury was on the other leg.

And the team is there.

Wish it drowned out the announcer repeatedly calling passes into the post an "inbounds pass". :confused:

I have a sort of Sean Connery story. It starts with me being in the emergency room with chest pains and a suspected heart attack (it turned out to be an ulcer!) After the initial assessment they seemed to think that I wasn't in imminent danger so I was laying there waiting for test results...
