    Pick a second team to root for

    Villanova: I had UConn season tickets for a long time, but moved to PA a few years ago. Had a choice of the Patriot League (Lafayette, Lehigh) or the Big East (Villanova) - easy choice even though I graduated from Lafayette with a BSEE degree. Not only will I get to see UConn in person this...

    Louisville Post-Game Thread

    At the end of the game, Durr had the ball in her hands and looked over at Walz with a "what do you want me to do" look. He gave her the go-get-it sign. The last basket attempt was on Walz, not Durr.

    First team all-American 2016-2017

    I voted for Lou, but if Napheesa plays aggressively and develops a strong mid-range game a la Bria Hartley, she will be in the mix.

    Possible NCAA violation

    During her induction into the Women's Basketball HOF, Jackie Styles said she consulted a psychic to ask for help in determining to which school she should accept a scholarship. The psychic replied UConn (she ended up at Missouri State). Boneyarders know what happens next: a violation will be...

    OT: Becoming a Microsoft Office power user question

    For shortcuts, I think 220 are listed a laminated card for around $10. The card can be found on Amazon or Exceljet sites. I think a search on Amazon using the following will get you to the card. Also I believe Microsoft press puts out a series of Excel books for CPAs and accountants - don't know...

    10 quick observations on Memphis game

    What was not lovely and charming in the Memphis game was the UConn defense against the three when in a zone. Playing man-to-man, the starters allowed one make in eight attempts. When the starters switched to zone in the third quarter, Memphis was 2 for 3, all open shots. With more non-starters...

    Composite view from courtside - EX game 2

    I thought she was the easily the best on the floor today, although Stewart does things that impact the game but not the scoresheet (well the scoresheet as well, but please start making all those chippies).

    What to expect from Kia Nurse?

    Kia has an incredible will to win and knows how to turn up the house lights when on the big stage. It appears that she has not settled simply on the power drive and three point shot. In what I remember as the Brazil game, she tried a change of speed drive a la Jefferson. She did not sell it and...

    Video Geno on Kia's Game

    Kia really did pick the right day "to do that". As her stats show for the first four games, she played what I consider a very nice team oriented game - Canada played a team oriented game throughout the tournament. For the Gold Medal Game, Kia was absolutely magnificent and deserved all the...

    It is not 161-2 but

    After reading the replies, I see the error of my ways. One of our starters played 23 min, the rest of the starters, the best players in Women's College Basketball, played between 17 & 20 minutes. I can absolutely see how outsiders would consider this piling on because one starter was on the...

    It is not 161-2 but

    It is very obvious that many UConn responders to this post are very magnanimous, however the two coaches who played their two leading AAC scorers for essentially the whole game were padding said players stats. There were available players off the the bench for UCF, of which two had decent...

    It is not 161-2 but

    it still frosts my patootie (yes, I do have a patootie) that the two leading AAC scorers, Courtney Williams (USF) and Zykira Lewis (UCF), played 38 minutes and 40- minutes respectively in a game UConn's bench and walk-ons had significant playing time. I suggest that the AAC start a weekly Most...

    Question about Kiah Stokes

    I believe this post is dead on. When Tara had the Ogwumike sisters, she ran the triangle. When she did not, she adjusted to a guard oriented offense. Geno appears unwilling to adjust to Kiah's strengths ( she spent 3/4 of her time on the court in the last game at the high post by design), so...

    Kia to Start over Saniya on Sunday

    I don't think starting Kia over Saniya has as much to do with defense as Geno indicated, it has more to do with leadership and aggressiveness (or lack thereof). He may well lose as much on offense as he might gain on defense. However, the original starting five has no real leader - some lead by...

    The Post Game Burning Issues

    One more thought, I was extremely proud the way we took time to practice our layups even during the game. I remember at least three times where we practiced missing a layup and then getting the rebound, again practice missing a layup and then getting the rebound, and then finally putting the...

    The Post Game Burning Issues

    Just got back from the game, some thoughts: When Kia is substituted in, the energy level of play seems to go up. Saniya does nothing wrong, but is not as big, strong or as experienced as Kia. Saniya "loads" up her three attempt at just above the shoulder, taking additional split seconds to...

    Williams article -

    I really don't understand the discussion about Williams being a post. Geno said he considered her a big guard and still considers her a big guard. Big guards post up. Williams said she wasn't use to being touched (not a direct quote). When she made that known to Geno ( or made it obvious during...
