    Expectations

    Take it easy, feller. You’re correct, we are spoiled, and expect to compete for a championship every year. Nowhere said not getting one is a failure, or slamming the team. Geno has said it many times, he created a monster, and expectations are unreal, but they still are expectations. Make book...

    Expectations

    I realize your post is rubbing a few the wrong way, but it is the reality of the expectations for many of us, and the team,also. Everyone is super proud of this team, and Geno has done a remarkable job this year. The bar is set high for a reason! Like they say, “ It is, what it is!”

    UConn vs. Syracuse post game - on to the sweet 16!

    Took a while to get my heart rate down before I could post. The Orange are a good lot. I believe they beat ND 2x this season. Paige was spectacular, but needs to shoot more in games like this. Edwards looked out of sorts at times. Ashlynn is a killer! Nika simply can't continue to make bonehead...

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    Post game presser with Ash and Geno is absolutely hilarious with her discussing the Geno pic on her shirt, and how he says, "I love you"!

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    Thumbs sore from "flicking with the clicker" trying to watch too many games at once. Nice, neat win for the Huskies, Paige could go for 40+ a game if she choses. Edwards didn't take kindly to the rough play, and sent a nice message. Steady, Eddy Ashlynn didn't sit a minute, and kept on tickin"...

    Didn't Correa have a couple of terrific games against the Huskies a couple of years back?

    Saylor Poffenbarger is back in the portal. Think Geno will take her back? Not!

    AP Awards

    Agree with all above regarding Edwards, A real slap in the face. The only consolation is Reese not getting 1st team, which takes the sting somewhat out of the Edwards slap!

    Analysis and Comments - UConn vs Jackson State - Round of 64

    Very nicely done, thanks. Me thinks this will be a "breathe easy" game.

    Another Fairfieldesque type program. Nothing there, no problem!

    Fairfield Game

    @cabbie191, I meant a top notch girl's team would beat them, say Archbishop Mitty (CA), Long Island Lutheran, Montverde Academy (FL), Etiwanda (CA), and a host of other top shelf teams. Not a knock on Fairfield, they just don't have any thoroughbreds to ride!

    Fairfield Game

    Great season for the Stags, and they deserve props for an outstanding record. However, after watching them play for the first time yesterday, they are not a “quality” team. They play hard, and are well coached, but a top notch HS program would beat them. Other than the auto bid, they don’t...

    This is where College sports are headed and it's not a good thing

    NIL, and unionization will prove to be the end to major college sports as we know it, particularly football and basketball. It simply will not be sustainable. Minor league professional sports leagues and training programs for 17-20 years olds will fill the niche, and colleges and universities...

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    Not just one game, definite a pattern, not just with these 2 teams against each other, but against other teams. Do a bit of research on YouTube. Lot's o' stuff there.

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    Me thinks the shenanigans going on the court with LSU and SC are going to have top notch recruits think long and hard about their choice. Especially if they are the well rounded student/athlete/great kid model.

    OT: Georgetown names Darnell Haney head coach

    Glad to see Haney's hiring was made official, but @oldude said the quiet part out loud. There is such a huge push today to have women take coaching positions in men's sports, that consideration of a male as a coaching candidate for a women's sport should be irrelevant. Just get the best...

    What a day!

    Not surprised at all. While at the final four a few years ago in Minneapolis, I was sitting in the poolside whirlpool with a handful of women who were big time Stanford and Tara fans. One was a former US Olympian in Handball from the early 80's and another was a longtime high school PE teacher...

    It will be Georgetown

    Ugly, ugly game. Georgetown lost their "sixth man of the year" player at the end of the game. Very hard to watch. I believe this was G-Town's 3rd game, so hopefully they will be nice and tired tomorrow night!

    What a day!

    Listen carefully to her post game interview and apology- she apologized to the fans, not for the actions of her player, which was completely over the top and vicious. To say "things get heated" is an understatement. Watch the replay of the incident again, Staley stood 6 feet from the incident...

    UConn-Providence post game thread

    It's the announcers I have the issue with, not the coach! The coach needs to prove her mettle before announcers tell us every 5 minutes how great she is. She may prove to be a great coach, then the announcers can tell us what a great job she is doing/done. Until then, just call the game!

    UConn-Providence post game thread

    My point is that the current coach in her first year at Providence has done nothing out of the ordinary with this team, and the team is performing at the same level as basically the past 9 years. If you go back and listen to the game, the announcers couldn't stop with the constant high praise...

    UConn-Providence post game thread

    Love the tenacity of the team after Edwards went down. Paige showed up big time when needed. The freshmen, especially KK, were outstanding. Anyone else tired of the fawning over the Providence coach? Except for the covid year, 2020-21, their year to year record have been fairly consistent the...

    Bracketology 3/4/24

    If UConn closes out the BE tournament with 3 lopsided wins, and one or more of the teams above us flame out in their tournament, a #2 seed is very possible! I do like where we are right now, however.

    Caitlin vs. Pete

    Thanks for the replay, the broadcast only showed it once, which I felt was strange because usually they show calls like that ad nauseum, from every angle and speed. It didn't look like anything worth calling then, and certainly doesn't now. I respect and am in awe of Clark, but come-on refs...

    Caitlin vs. Pete

    Phenomenal player, that Clark is. Maybe the best ever in the Women’s game. However, to compare her record to the Pistol is disingenuous to Pete! I said it because today’s announcers wouldn’t/couldn’t. Doesn’t take away from her record, however -just the facts, ma’am!

    UConn-Providence postgame thread

    Yes, there appeared to be some "words" there. then after the Providence coach said something, Geno turned around like he heard something he didn't like. No one mentioned it on SNY, and it appeared CD was trying to "smooth" things over with the PC coach. Maybe I read it wrong, but maybe not!
