    Geno Animated

    During Geno's on-the-floor post game interview, he was the most upbeat and animated that I have seen him this year. And no wonder; after that fantastic last quarter when his team put away a tough Marquette team. Kudos to him and his players who have endured so much misfortune. I just had to...

    Chat: technical issue

    How do I scroll through the Chat entries to see those at the start of the game? At present, I can see only those entries for the last few minutes. Thanks in advance.

    Boxing Out?? Perfect example

    I admit to a obsession with rebounding, particularly the need to box out aggressively and properly. I offer here a brief video from another thread showing a perfect example when it is not done well. Unfortunately, the player involved is Olivia, but it is not a "sin of omission" which she owns...

    Stanford/UConn/Arizona

    Many Boneyard posts after our loss ot Arizona on Friday found many villains and scapegoats for our failure to run Arizona off the court: Geno's poor prep for Arizona's unique challenges, and his offensive and defensive plans; our players failure to match the energy and determination of Arizona...

    Not sure how to process this exchange between Geno and Page {merged thread]

    I know that a couple Boneyarders thought Geno had mis-coached UConn's last possession against Baylor (the one that led to misses at the foul line by Christyn) by not selecting Paige to receive the inbound pass. However, in his postgame press conference, Geno said that the play was drawn up so...

    Geno--Teacher/Coach

    Quoting Geno on Christyn's evolution and the role he likes to fill: from CT Post "“We all like to coach for the same reasons that teachers like to teach, because we are teachers at heart,” Auriemma said. “We all love when our students get something and the light goes on and they feel like...

    Geno on Anna's prospects for return to play

    from the Courant: " Auriemma said Monday that Anna Makurat, who has been out since the Georgetown game with a lower leg issue, is getting closer to returning. “She’s trying to get her rehab done every day. She’s spending some time getting some shots up when she can. She’s been keeping her...

    Arrrgh! Meeting tonight . . . replay???

    I volunteer for a rails-to-trails non-profit here in Maine, and this month's Wednesday evening meeting is not one I can skip. We have had some close games with Tulane in past years. So . . . how soon after games do the replays become available? (Sneaking peeks of streaming during the game is...

    The UConn Machine circa 2000

    While some of us gnash our teeth at the stumbles of this season's incarnation of our women's team, and strive to find some balance between our elevated expectations and the recruiting and competitive realities of 2020, consider that we have had to "endure" seasons when even our Huskies had to...

    Ohio State - Maryland ESPN 2

    30-28 early in second quarter. Lots of offense, not much D.

    SNY . . . NBC Sports Net? ESPN3?

    After seeing several posts from concerned Husky fans who do not have access via cable to SNY broadcasts of our favorite team's games, I did a little poking around. While I found no dependable information about the full 2019-2020 season's broadcasts listed as "SNY," I did find on the ESPN site a...

    I am very very very perplexed about PB

    Several threads created by various fulminating prophets of doom have been featured on this board about Geno's failure to compete successfully for top recruits. Each thread on that subject has enjoyed (!) a long lifespan and fanned some remarkably heated responses. So . . . yesterday, the day...

    Cincinnati post-game press conferences?

    Any available? Given the wildly various assessments posted in a couple Boneyard threads, I'd love to hear Geno's take.

    Geno's Technical?

    I've been looking for any printed explanation for our favorite coach's bench technical. I guess he was well out on the court, but what was he objecting to? For my part, I wondered at Cal's oft-employed defensive tactic of bodying up on any UConn players driving to the hoop. I saw lots of contact...

    ESPN Women's Basketball Home Page-- NOthing new

    Maybe I missed some other Boneyarder's comment about this, but the home page of ESPN's NCAAW website has not changed at all since at least December 1-- i.e., just before our game vs Notre Dame. It's frozen in time, as if all the writers and the web manager had gone on strike. What's up?

    Chat instead of game thread

    No dedicated chat for the women's game vs. Temple? General chat room is a mess. Are we sure this is the way to go?

    Unranked Rutgers down only 7 to USC end of 3rd quarter

    USC hitting 50% of shots, getting 10 points from Aja Wilson's foul shooting, but still not getting separation from Rutgers.

    Post Miss State game presser

    I beg your pardon, starting an entirely new thread for this, but I have been able to find only snippets of the post-game press conference, especially Geno's full remarks. I've exhausted all options known to me, so will someone please supply the link/url? Thanks.

    Geno the Kind

    Some of you may recall a thread I started about five weeks ago, announcing the death of a fervid Uconn women's basketball fan— my near-centenarian mother-in-law. Well, unbeknown to me, my wife sent a copy of it to Geno. In the mail today was a response from him, quoting some of the message I...

    UConn Century Club Diminished

    I regret to inform the Boneyard that the Century Club of the UConn Women's Basketball supporters has lost a member. My mother-in-law, Evelyn, a long-time and fervid fan, died peacefully in her sleep on December 10 in Hamden, CT. We think she chose that time— even though she was just 16 days...

    Brianna Banks' 25 points helps PennSt over N'Western

    Sorry if I missed someone else's posting of this, but BB looks like she is making good at Penn State. Her 25 points helped in the recent (12/31) upset over Northwestern. After her injury-plagued years at UConn, that's got to be a real boost to her.

    Mohegan Sun "lower baseline"?

    I'm about to buy tickets for the FSU game at Mohegan Sun, but I don't know what/where "lower baseline" seats are. Help please.

    Mater Dei vs Chaminade on Fox College Sports PAC-- Now

    Boneyard represented in New Orleans?

    I'm visiting friends in Tampa and New Orleans-- if I can get out of Portland, ME this week-- and have tickets to watch our Huskies replay Tulane on Monday. Will I be the only Boneyarder doing on-site supporting of our team? I imagine there will be other Husky supporters, but not all supporters...

    SNY Streaming UConn Women as they did in 2013-14?

    I haven't seen anything about this issue on the Boneyard, and SNY's site carries info only about normal tv broadcasting. After today's little-window video stream of the Post exhibition game, I definitely do not want to rely on that source.

    A little perspective, please!

    Hey, you know what? After Monday’s triple overtime loss to Notre Dame, we would have no weeping, wailing, blame throwing, or gnashing of teeth if— We had made one 1 more free throw in regulation play; We had made only 1 of the 4 free throws we missed in the first overtime (especially the...

    Caroline Doty—UConn’s Shane Battier

    I’ll get to Caroline in a moment, some things I’ve been considering for the last year, especially after reading UConn fans’ doubts about her play on the Boneyard and elsewhere, But first . . . Almost everyone agrees that Geno is a great coach in a hundred different ways. I’ve particularly...

    Louisville-Kentucky on ESPNU

    I watched the first half, then turned to the Boneyard to see how aficionados were reacting, and . . . Nothing. Hint: it's a turnover fest.

    CPTV Points to SNY Streaming Info

    Would that every person and organization were so classy. Just received an email from CPB, thanking me for watching its UConn Women's broadcasts and streaming for the past several years, then neatly pointing me to the full SNY streaming page, now with full info: e.g., all broadcasts in HD, DVR...
