    A Chance Encounter

    Not ten minutes ago, I get on an elevator at the Marriott Marquis in NY and there is another gentleman on the elevator with a familiar face. I told him that he looked like the women's basketball coach at Syracuse, "Q". Sure enough, it was him. We exchanged pleasantries and went on our way. I do...

    UConn Is Still The Better Team

    1. Admittedly, Baylor is not an ideal matchup for UConn. 2. Baylor, to their credit, defended well, jammed cutters, and dictated pace of play. 3. UConn shot less than 30%. They might beat AAC teams shooting under 30, but not an elite team. 4. Despite shooting under 30%, it was a 4 point game...

    A Number Gets Retired At Syracuse

    My opinions of Dennis DuVal are understandably biased given that we grew up in the same closely knit neighborhood six blocks apart. For as long as I can remember, he was someone to whom I always looked up. His basketball skill set was at least ten years ahead of its time as he found himself...

    Say What You Want About Maryland's OOC Schedule

    The fact that Maryland Eastern Shore and Southern are among the teams on the Terps OOC schedule makes them aces in my eyes. In years past they have also scheduled Texas Southern, Coppin State(almost perennially), Delaware State, Bowie State, and Howard. One has to believe that its effect on...

    Potentially The Best WCBB of All Time

    Joanne P. McCallie: I Am Not Buying

    Ms Dee Kantner

    Must we continue to berate Ms Kantner on this forum? If Ms Kantner's officiating has adversely affected UConn over the years, it certainly has not manifested itself in the loss column or in the scores. Can we not appreciate the fact that Ms Kantner is a pioneer in her own right when she was...

    I Finally Saw The Notre Dame Game

    1. Kayla McBride is a darn good ballplayer 2. UConn made an admirable comeback 3. Notre Dame either scored or got a very good look on every out of bounds play 4.

    Upon Further Review & Contemplation

    1. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis' 26 point, 15 rebound performance on 11-14 shooting is the best big game performance in the history of UConn WBB. Racking my brain for comparative performances turned up only four: a. Diana Taurasi's 26 point performance against Texas in the national semifinal in...
