I suspect Mir has probably fulfilled her undergraduate course requirements and has graduated from UVA. Depending on her ambitions, this transfer may be more about a graduate degree program than it is about UVA and the team there.

Maybe she likes "retro music" that I listen to like my kids do (even though they tease me about it).

I really like the Brian Setzer Orchestra's version of Louis Prima's "Jump Jive and Wail."

Nika does speak English very well. Learning English is mandatory in Slovenia. Not sure about Croatia.

At my time at WVU we had bitter rivalry games with Pitt, Penn State, and Virginia Tech. Maryland was often a big game too! Part of the "spice" was that, being regional rivalries, I had friends from high school who went to all of those schools. All gone now...

This is Fairport Convention's cover of "Percy's Song" by Bob Dylan.

This song by Roxy Music. There version is very good and has an ethereal quality to it. However, I like the 10,000 Maniacs version better.

I have several. "Don't Worry Baby" has been one of my favorite Beach Boys songs for many years. Written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian, it has been covered many times. I recently came across this cover by Susan Cowsill (yes, that Susan Cowsill) and I have to say I like this version even...

Good luck to her. I think this move is in her best interest. She will be a good pickup for a program where she can get to play meaningful minutes.

Good luck to her moving forward.

Best of luck to her. I wonder if she has finished her degree? There is a good chance that she has.

Once again we will be putting very high expectations on an incoming freshman.

Of course, the whole point of the article was to generate discussion and interest in next season, so in that respect, mission accomplished.

There is this one from the Police, although it doesn't really talk about the sun per se.

She certainly left an example for the current and incoming guards to follow on how to play defense.

Nika will be a fan favorite for a very long time.

Absolutely wonderful season. This team left it all on the floor this year and then some. As a fan one of my favorite seasons.

It will be interesting to see if the numbers from this year carry over to next year. Who will become the face of the sport next season and who will create the atmosphere for the media to promote?

This reminds me of the atmosphere when Sabrina didn't declare until late in the Spring signing period.

Of the remaining teams in the tournament, I think UConn matches up best against Iowa, and has shown this in the two games that the teams have played in the Caitlin era. The huskies must keep her supporting cast bottled up though. Caitlin will get hers, although Nika has held her below her...

UConn 84, Iowa 78

Same as last game. Play smart Stay focused Win

Late to the party. I am very happy to be wrong about my prediction for this game. We just witnessed another chapter in the legend of Paige Bueckers and her Merry Sisters as they move on to the Final Four. I hoped, but never expected this team to get this far with the way the season started...

Play smart Play loose Win

I think this one is a bridge too far. USC 81, UConn 74.

This will be a tough game. UConn has been here before. USC has not. That may be the difference.

The UConn coaching staff is not chopped liver and I suspect they will have a game plan to cope with the Blue Devils. UConn also plays pretty good defense so points may be hard to come by for Duke as well. My chief concern is the disparity in free throw shooting percentage. If the game is...

A small hijack, but in light of the drift to a discussion on language, look up the song "Elderly Man River" by Stan Freberg on youtube. It's good for a chuckle.

Yeah, I would too, but we are old and cranky. ;)

UConn 72, Duke 58.

Given what these guys have gone through this year, this group will always be one of my favorite teams and that goes back to 1995.

A win is a win. Yes, it got a bit nerve wracking at the end, but they didn't fold and they hit the shots they needed to and held on for the win. I think this will be a confidence boost as it showed that they could face adversity and come out on top.

If it is scripted, it would be to her twin, her slime sister. It will go to who ever is open.

UConn will be challenged. I think defense wins this game. UConn 78 Syracuse 64

While it is true that Syracuse beat ND twice, you need to remember that ND had some missing pieces or damaged pieces (Citron and Westbeld if I remember correctly) when they played. I'm hoping for: Defensive intensity with good help Offensive efficiency Stay healthy and have fun
