Leonid and Friends cover of Chicago’s “Street Player”

It’s the parallax view which is also the movie title of a Warren Beatty 1974 political thriller which is still a worthy watch 50 years later.

Answer: On the 2023-2024 UConn WBB bench. I apologize if I have offended anyone but the reality is that barring Herculean improvements, this season’s end-of-bench is destined to keep sliding further away from the scorer’s table come November. I realize that these wonderful young ladies are...

I believe that you have misinterpreted my original post. Throughout Geno’s coaching career he has repeatedly stated that his team does not practice until they get it right but, rather, until they can’t get it wrong. My point was that admittedly shortened practice time due to injury, illness...

Lots of forum thoughts on the current state of team performance. While Geno is clear in his first-hand assertion that the obvious decline in play is not the direct result of injuries and fatigue but rather poor coaching or, better yet, the inability for his players to actualize in game settings...

I give tonight’s award to the fans who witnessed all 40 minutes and cheered on the team from start to finish.

Nika: OMG! Lou has lots of points left in her arm! Just one touch and you can feel the magic!

I became a fan of women’s basketball back in the 70’s when coaching a high school boys basketball team. We never had to share our gym until Title IX finally caught up to the school district and a girls team was founded. One of their first coaches was none other than Tara VanDerveer whose parents...

I believe that the starters would need to expend even more energy trying to make up the point differential resulting from putting not ready for prime time substitutes in a close game that is above their current level of play…how I wish that these annoying “play them all” posts would just go away...

Paige is generational in so many ways.....we are incredibly blessed to have her in our lives.

I didn’t use my anti-perspirant yesterday and I might not today…

Still terribly saddened by the loss of nine precious lives and knowing of Kobe and Gianna's dream to one day play for the Huskies, I thought that it would be nice for UConn to place something in the Werth Center posthumously recognizing her college dream....it could similar to the ones given to...

Training session conducted in Colorado’s thin air while still in high school....Evina will fit in just fine with UConn’s training and practice expectations....I recall her McDonald’s AA game interview when she talked about playing defense and shutting down the opponent’s top performer was her...

According to the Louisville newspapers, although Coach Walz had himself a pretty good post-season run he lost out on some pretty hefty spare cash……. In the bank: Base salary: $1,475,000 ACC Co-Champs: $40,000 NCAA Sweet 16: $50,000 Elite 8...

With due respect to the great Celtics referenced in Pitino’s notorious March 1, 2000 locker room rant when he called out his young struggling team, I paraphrase his words for him to now reflect on.... ”Clarence Darrow is not walking through that door, Rick. Johnny Cochran is not walking through...

I wonder who will play Kathy and Geno in the film version.....a very touching story; thanks for sharing............

Coach Q: UConn??? We don't need no stinkin' UConn!!!

Just my 2-cents but points of emphasis that I'll be keeping an eye on...I'm sure that Geno & Company have everything well in-hand but it's Sunday morning with lots of time to kill between now and tip-off...please feel free to hammer away..... * Knock their perceived disrespect chip off their...

I normally agree with Miami's astute observations and commentary 99% of the time but must take exception about his defense reaction and initiation remark....while good defense certainly has the ability to read and react to opposing offenses, exceptional defenses dictate offensive flow through...

.......Who's up next???

I can go you one better, Carnac....a Dodger fan like you I was at Bench's first pro game which was played at Hyde Park Stadium in Niagara Falls..."stadium" is a rather generous use of the word as it was a park that housed our Little League along side the Babe Ruth League diamond where Bench made...

It seems that some amongst us have begun to attach faces to perceived bench shortcomings and become quite specific in detailing skill limitations… as the protective guardians that we are, we see such criticism as personal, unfair and worthy of a defense requiring offenders to be chastised for...

Very kind words from Bob Ryan during this morning's Sports Reporters....sorry that I can't seem to upload so you'll have to go to ESPN.com and see for yourself....my bad...//

I thought that our girls did a great job of shutting down the dribble penetration by South Carolina guards and forced them into situations that minimized their interior post height advantage.....the traditional big can be an incredibly effective scorer for teams that have a guard(s) who can take...

With apologies to Cloris Leachman's infamous Frau Blücher, 9th grade Minnesota phenom Frau Bueckers might just be the perfect 2020 PG point guard recruit that cements yet another UConn National Championship....not sure of the source of the article's UConn reference in the but Geno & Co sure...

Maybe I'm alone in my thought but I believe that Saniya has clearly earned her stripes and Core Four inclusion to the point that a new pseudonym be considered that would encompass all five starters....Michigan had their Fab Five in 1991 and the 2012 USA Gymnastics team called themselves the...

Some interesting thoughts about a hard-working and valued team member who became a Husky with great height, a Big East ROY award and loads of expectations based primarily on hope, supposition and the offer of a UConn scholarship....other than found in the emotional comments found in mid-game...

We can't possibly forget to recognize Rosemary's invaluable contributions to the program....a true Husky!

Sunday's UConn at Kansas State game will be televised on Fox Sports 1 - DIRECTV Channel 219 at 2:00 pm

I perceive Muffet as a coach who seems to be a far more gracious winner than she is a gracious loser. Winning or losing frequently generates powerful waves of emotions in coaches (and fans). As tough a coach as Geno is perceived he has learned to successfully ride these strong emotional currents...

I really appreciated Courtney's enthusiasm, effort and support of her teammates and and had hoped that everything would translate into meaningful and productive minutes but it didn't and I felt both relieved and supportive of her decision to find a program where she could make a difference in...
