Or more concretely, do Ivy League student athletes have to sit out for a year if they transfer? Do they have to sign the same LOI if they are not receiving an athletic scholarship?

Massey has them ranked: PAC-12 ACC Big 12 Big 10 SEC I don’t have a problem with that. I think the ACC will do well in the tournament however.

I am sitting here puzzled by the need to have a rebound on the first shot of a two shot foul. Why? There was a free throw shot by Liv (I think in the ND game) that hit nothing and bounced over the end line. The ref picked up the ball. . . Who gets credit for that rebound? (And btw, she hit...

I think we have seen that movie before. There is no surprise at the end. The USA still wins.

In addition to being Easter Sunday, it is also April Fools day. Not sure which is more important, but I think Dawn Staley would now have to say there is no God.

And the Massey computer has Mississippi State with a 58% probability of beating Louisville. Guess that game is really closer to even odds. Massey thinks UConn has an 83% chance of beating Notre Dame.

I don't. Nan posted the following article which included the audio recording of the interview. She was not misquoted. Joanne P. McCallie wasn't misquoted about Connecticut, but context is important That said, it was a totally different person at this press conference. I was much more...

I agree about the segment on Vic Schaefer's son, and generally I am happy to see the human interest segments. I just hate them running it is a window half the size of the screen, and totally ignoring the game. They can show those pieces during time outs, or in place of the studio pieces where...

I also hate when they use two frames and make it hard to watch the game. I did not want to watch Geno's back for 45 seconds while the game is going on. Adam Amin must have the attention span of a gnat, he can't focus on the game for more than a few minutes at a time. I honestly turned the...

Here is the Quinipiac presser: Here is the UConn presser: UConn Huskies NCAA Second Round Press Conference Postgame

Now I see where you are coming from, and you make an interesting point. I hope you find the time to quantify the effect a little more.

Please do the write up. I do not immediately see why this would be so, and would appreciate you giving us more details.

Albany is 883 miles from Columbia, SC. Kansas City is 993 miles away. That would place a greater burden on Dawn's fans. Although there might be tickets available in Kansas City.:p

The women's coach who is second on the list based on win percentage is Leon Barmore of La Tech. His record was 576-87 (.869). He was head coach there from 1985 to 2002. He had been an assistant to Sonja Hogg for 5 years, and then was co-Head coach with Hogg from 1982 to 1985. One of his...

Massey forecasts the score as 79-64 UConn, with a 93% chance that UConn wins. That should be somewhat reassuring.

Sveta got robbed. She was so beautiful to watch. Smooth, fast, and tough. Great shot. Defense is so overrated these days.:D

I like the analysis, but not all of last year's starters are showing a drop in points. Kia Nurse is up nicely. Her average last year was 13.3 and this year it's 15.0. Her total points are up from 266 to 302. She is really having a good year in a deceptive sort of way.

There was a great post on Vol Nation. Responding to a discussion of the fight at 2:17 in the second, someone suggested that Cooper would fit right in there.

Rutgers shot 5% from 3 pt range (1/20), 26.8% overall, and 50% from the free throw line. Turnovers were even, with each team committing 20. But Rutgers committed 20 fouls to 6 for Purdue. Probably a really ugly game.

I find it hard to understand the TV reference. Here are the schools that have the most wins against Geno: Notre Dame 11 Villanova 11 Providence 10 Tennessee 9 Boston College 9 Rutgers/Iowa 8

It doesn't say Eligible for the draft, it says "Eligible for selection." Diamond decided to forgo the draft and remain in college. Therefore, she was not eligible for selection.

Who in the heck is Laura Nero??????

On your two main points: 1. Kim Mulkey actually is pretty smart. Check out her academic record. She was her high schools valedictorian, and had a 4.0 gpa. She was a collegiate academic all-American. She was a good student. 2. I agree the master plan ain't working. Her plan is certainly...

We have real radical fringe for this game. Usually the fringe forecast is in the positive direction. This game we have a forecast suggesting the Huskies will lose by 44 points. As usual, go Huskies!

Table is in two parts due to so many forecasts.

I am not going to reproduce the spreadsheet. The additional forecasts were not winners, although WestCoastPup, with an MOV of 36 was pretty close There were another 4 new forecasters, so 18 new participants in all. Roundball fan wins the tie breaker with VIKES, having missed the MoV by only...

I was at the game, and they announced the All Regional team. Saniya made the team with Jordan Canada, Sabrina Ionesco, Gabby and Napheesa. That was really nice. What a great way for her last games in the State of CT to end. Napheesa was the Most Outstanding player in the East Regional.

Here are the forecasts that have been posted before I had to leave for the game in Bridgeport. There were 14 new forecasters this game, and a huge variation in opinions. Massey has a MOV of 21. Go Huskies!

For those who want an explanation for the mathematically closest forecast, here is a graphic depiction of the calculation. Each persons score is compared to the actual score of the game. Each forecast will have an error on the UConn score(line "a"), and an error on the opponent's score (line...

Here are the results based on the mathmatically closest forecast. Again, BroadwayVa win using this set of parameters. But notice that a lot of forecasts were closer than Massey. Particularly good were the Husky fanatic and chrissaran.

Here are the predictions. I went to the game today, and then had an evening commitment, so the numbers are a little late. I am going to the game on Monday too, so same drill. Huge shout out to TonyC for arranging tickets back in November 2016. A super day, and most of us were there for both...

Man, you are on a bit of a roll tonight Mr. Olddude. Facts, clear opinions, concise arguments. The supplements sure seem to be working!

Here are the forecasts with 7 minutes to tip off. Massey has the score at 87-65, with a 97% probability of a UConn win. Sure hope they got it right!

First, you have submitted two forecasts. I am using the second one. Secondly, with regard to Meyers7, he has forecast a loss in almost all the big games as a sacrifice to the Mojo gods. Too much hubris on our part would be punished by a vengeful mojo god. Meyers takes the hit for all of us.

Don't forget to vote for Geno while you are there.
