Note 2: Lou has actually upped her shooting percentages and scoring since Azzi went down.

Just going by my experience from almost a decade ago, basically everything pauses. That included practices, game attendance, class attendance and exams until she was medically cleared. This was followed by make up sessions of the class work. It was surprising seeing Nika on the bench at MD &...

:eek:Since Azzi went down Lou has been finding it tougher to get open looks? Since Azzi went down Lou has been shooting better both from deep and from in close so she is-exceeding expectations? There weren't many sensible fans that expected Ayanna to have thrown down one 10 games into the...

:eek:That a solid take on things. I'm much more cynical: Some people are way too easy to impressed. Ines is a solid player and I'm glad she here but how far are we going to....

The article specifically mentioned Aubrey Griffin. Aubrey's performance has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations all season long. If we are really talking about performance exceeding expectations shouldn't it be Lou- UCONN go to scorer averaging 17 PPG?

Ayanna is a freshman also and has been more impressive IMO.

I 'm not reading it as shot a Ines but disagreement with the opinion that she has been the most impressive of all the players thrown into the fire this season. 1) Aubrey is a Junior but she was thrown into the fire when Dorka was injured and has been stellar 2) Ayanna Patterson was thrown...

Aubrey, Lou, Ines, AE and Ayanna were all better options for advancing the ball than Caroline. The only other player to play with Caroline is Amari. 4 turnovers in 1 quarter just trying to advance the ball was not acceptable for any player on the UCONN rosters. I'm not having a bad day nor...

The fact that Caroline was the #5 player in the class is irrelevant because the best player on either team (Shyanne Sellers) in that game was ranked several spots behind Caroline #22 by ESPN. Wether it was due to fatigue ( playing 39 minutes) or the nagging injuries or lack of ability or...

Maybe- but it appears she will have to wait until next season to be able to play because FGCU has 15 players listed on the rosters. I realize that having 15 players on the roster doesn't mean no scholarships are available. FGCU has 6 players listed as 5th year players but I suppose a roster...

That tweet has the wrong last name. Her former name is Dominique Darius and she a very good player combo guard and unlike her former Blair Academy teammate Olivia Miles she will defend you all day long. She finished #26 player in her HS class.

I'm honestly not trying to "catch you" in something. I'm just seeking clarification. It matters because if you are correct then Caroline still has lingering effects from a head injury that is 10.5 months old which would be very troubling. Remember Caroline WAS NOT officially diagnosed...

Can you please clarify this. "Caroline is battling a neck issue that is a result of last season's issues." I have not seen a connection made between Caroline's issues from last season (Hip surgery, Head injury) and Caroline current issue (neck stiffness). Keep in mind that Caroline...

UCONN hasn't had back to back road losses since 2002. Maryland have never beaten UCONN WBB. Give ND and MD their props. Some of these excuses regarding UCONN injuries are starting to get on my nerves quite honestly. The Weak Sauce list: Arizona loss was because UCONN didn't have a...

Was struck by this line from Nonna's obituary and can personally testify to this. " Mrs. Auriemma moved to Phoenixville, where she continued the tradition of never allowing anyone to leave her house hungry." RIP Nonna.

Simple: Against Providence Amari worked to get herself in good rebounding position and against Princeton she did not. "Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way" ? Anticipating the bounce of the ball and working your behind off to get it is what is required here. How do you think Griffin...

UCONN does not need to play more zone defense because with a few exception the man to man defense has been pretty good this year. For starter Aubrey is back and healthy and playing great defense and has become Robin in support of Nika's Batman like defensive efforts. Seldom mentioned this...

She will be eligible for a medical red shirt this season. She is also has an additional year of eligibility due to the COVID year.

Amari doesn't get to decide what pace she wants to play at. (See Video #1) Geno doesn't coach effort ( See Video #2) Geno Auriemma - Great Players & Effort

Cam Your confusion is understandable. KK Bransford (left) was at one time a UCONN player of interest and actually made an unofficial visit with Caroline and Saylor.

No it was Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Louisville just beat a team that has not won a game all year. https://www.siue.edu/

:eek:That post got 16 likes probably because it included UCONN as an overachiever and the use of the words "legit title threat" to describe this team. I'd say the poster understood his BY audience perfectly and no further explanation is required. Nice job @bballnut90 .

I think you may have missed my previous post on the matter which is contrary to your post.

What would last season look like without Dorka and the season before that look like without Evina?

A player having academic issues/problem is not consistent with an indefinite suspension nor is it consistent with the coach getting to decide on the duration of the punishment. This is likely a basketball team contained issue eg. "violation of team rules". Remember when T'ea Cooper...

:D Damn..... what were you hunting or was someone hunting you? I'm picturing every scene in the Hunger Games and the The Purge.

Geno did not state anything in the post game presser that is contrary to what has unfolded here. Of Azzi he specifically said: "I think" she'll be alright". Regarding the next game on Thursday he said he "expected" Azzi to be back and that Dorka's availability would be determined in...

Why do you not understand that UCONN injuries are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

:DI'd also remind you you that Shakira Austin is not only a WNBA player but she is also a World Cup gold medalist.

"A scorpion asks a frog to carry her over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both." At this...

The Aubrey who played in the first 6 games of this season was absolutely stellar defensively and offensively=her best stretch in a UCONN uniform. The version of Aubrey that played in the ND game was painful to watch= perhaps her worse game in a UCONN uniform. Aubrey is capably of playing...

You are posting the box score to support your contention that Amari should have been "given" more minutes. The outcome was decided by the time Amari came into the game and if Amari could have made a difference in the outcome of this game her HoF coach who was already short two post player...

:DOf course she is not a WNBA player,. if she was she would not be eligible to play for Louisville. Payton has WNBA potential because of demonstrated past performance. In 2019 she was MVP for FIBA Americas U16 on a team that feature Olivia Miles, Lauren Betts, Sonia citron, Kiki Rice. I...
