As for what she plans to do with the nose ring moving forward, Hidalgo said, "Next season, I'm going to play with it still until they tell me to take it out."
Carla has proven outstanding at recruiting (given her university's requirements) and then at developing her recruits within her conference's guidelines. I'd trust her with developing UConn into her personal model of excellence, building on what Geno would leave behind.
Our guys are IN SHAPE! Castle and Spencer 39 minutes apiece, Newton 37 minutes, and Diarra 30 minutes. Breathing hard but not gasping and not letting up for 40! Conditioning matters.
As I remember, Nika's fifth foul came as we had battled back from a halftime deficit to tie the game at 60-60. From then on, ND outscored us 22-7. I believe that we have no one on the bench who can replace any of our starters in a tight game.
So glad to see Ines and Amari getting significant minutes and producing nicely. Having them on the court gives the starters valuable rest AND reduces the chances of injuries.
"The 50% foul shooting doesn’t cut it, especially on the road. Alex and Tristen were the only players who shot over 50% from the line."
Improve our team foul shooting today to 75% and the outcome would never have been in doubt.
Holding a top-16 ranking will give us home games for rounds 1 & 2 of the NCAA Tournament. Then we can start shopping for hotel rooms in Albany for the Regionals.
Nice win, marked by a major second half comeback. Good news from the stat sheet: Despite missing Clingan, we outrebounded a team with an excellent 5 man. And 15 assists on 24 field goals is pretty nice. Heart-pounding, tough win. I'm confident that this will not be a long, sad season.
We were seated at the corner where this happened. No question that Kelly forearmed Nika. If that were the only bad call that the male ref called! He was reversed twice on out-of-bounds calls, within a minute. Our Huskies deserve extra credit for beating a team that had six representatives on the...
If you're feeling flush, consider the Viking trip from Paris to Normandy along the Seine. Outstanding accommodations, excellent tours, and outstanding food.
I'd bring Nika in off the bench. She is a great passer, but other teams can largely ignore her as a scoring threat.

We had paid for a month of flosports. What a disappointment. Bad transmission, at least two ingame replays, and commentators who were not adequately interested in the games.
Fast break offense (Too often we stagnate in the half court,)
Nika to shoot or sit (Make someone cover her rather than allow 5-on-4 for the defense.)
More Amari (Let her confidence increase.)
