Please don't overlook the brilliant and smothering defense ASH played all season. She isn't as quick as KK, but who is?

Let me ask you this question; If Jana is a really capable post player, would you ever forsee a line-up with ICE and Sara as power forwards, and Jana in the middle? Presumably with AZZI and Paige at the guardspots Or is ICE definitely a post player only?

Pretty good point you make, Joe. I think Geno would vibe interested in a great rebounder for the post area, as opposed to another scorer.

Thanks. I appreciate your response. It will help me relax during the long winter ahead.

I really like your response. I will sleep better. However, I still should like to hear what we have on Jana as a talent. Other than the fact that she was sought after, and signed, by UCONN. I mean, desperation ( lack of bodies to play the post for us ) breeds unusual actions sometimes. We...

Sarah need not start on day one, but I hope she earns that role shortly thereafter. We really are likely to have only one player back at the season's onset,from the extensive injury list. Jana should be full healthy. And she has not played one second at this level. Azzi won't be ready until...

I have seen several people who assume Jana will be starting at center. Upon what information is that based? She has not played a single second of Division 1 basketball. And how many of us regard some Egyptian league as a standard of excellence? Most of us didn't even know they played BB in...

Stanford has announced that one of Tara's coaches is taking the job. Stanford is in a total mess, given the collapse of the Pac 10 conference. The coast to coast travel demands will be draining. The conference they are moving to has all different rivalries and history. Brick went to the draft...

So to whom were you referring then?

ASH was great, even when her shot abandoned her.

It is the way of the world now. We may not like it, but we have to deal with it. Either that or retire.

I bet USC is in the mix as well. Keep in mind that they had several " grad student" players on the court with JuJu. They have to move on and be replaced.

A good guess for Geno would be to remain through the Sarah Strong Era. He will be about 75 when she graduates. Recruiting from noon is going to get iffy.

Might a fine choice for her. However, my instinct is she might want to be in a different environment. She has been in the country for three years at Storrs, and Colgate is much the same. I bet she looks for a city.

There is nothing to make us feel any better about the loss. It is what it is. UCONN had every opportunity to win that game, but they just couldn't find the energy to do so. I don't think we had any chance of beating South Carolina, and I felt the same about Iowa ( could not beat SC either )...

Of course.

The reality of this comes as a shock but not as a surprise. The clock is ticking for everyone, and she has nothing more to achieve. Enjoy her days in a more relaxing environment. Maybe raise goats.

I wonder if she would consider Gaulledet Univ.? Her major is in sign language, and I know of hearing people who have attended that university ( designed for the hearing impaired) to elevate their signing skills ( plenty of job opportunities of high quality). She would elevate their women's BB...

And the one exception was for an exceptional reason. You are referring , I assume, to Donna Della Donne.

That is a tricky issue. It is hard to argue with you, but it is also hard to think of a roster where people like Shade, Caroline , Aubrey or Cheli are all sitting on the bench wondering if they will ever play. With DeBerry and Ines gone from the team, we already have nothing but superstars and...

We all wish her well. She is ..or appears to be..a lovely young woman.

I think it is fun to do this, but way off the mark. How do you conclude that Jana starts over ICE? Jana hasn't played a single moment in div 1 basketball, whereas Ice contributed strongly in the final four game against Iowa, and played every minute of our semi final and final games in the BE...

I think the players on both teams feel a bit cheated, because of that call ( a call any decent ref simply doesn't make in those circumstances ). Iowa players will, of course, feel a bit less cheated....being handed the "W." But their fans were cheated, as well. We had the moment for an unreal...

After hitting first two shots, ASH went 0-6 rest of game. She did have 7 rebounds and played excellent defense. Her shot deserted her.

This is great news. It has been a while since UCONN attracted a commit for the top HS player. And that makes the class of 24 spectacular

Everything you say is true. A few observations I need to offer, just because it is what I saw on the court. Paige did not have one of her best games. She missed more shots than usual. I agree that she may be the best player in women's college basketball, but she wasn't at that level tonight...

My granddaughter felt it in New Hampshire.

I am often a coward when it comes to watching games like this. However, this year, I watched the USC game live. And I intend to watch this one live. Here is my rationale; this team has already exceeded my expectations. I believe they can do more than I ever imagined. If they lose they have...

She is thinking; " If we win this whole thing, I'm going to have a fresh egg in my hand when we next pose this shot.

You have won me over.

JuJU for one; ever hear of Caitlin Clark? (I don't have time right now for the other 47 but I can find them for you). My point is; we have no reason to believe that Azzi Fudd will be the POY any more. We'll be fortunate if she is good and remains on the floor.

Marquette should hire her, you mean? I agree.

Congratulations. The BE is losing good one. On the other hand, the world has announced that there are good young coaches in the BE.

Once again, I believe you are over-rating our two wonderful freshmen guards. Neither is having a particularly good run in the last two games. On defense, they are terrific. But on offense, we are getting little. So I would make those match-ups both even, no UCONN advantage. Thanks for your...

Most of us ( fans) gave UCONN " no chance " of getting beyond the sweet sixteen this year. Few believed we would even beat DUKE. And fewer believe we can beat Iowa. ( Iowa is not just CC). However, having arrived at the final four, I now believe this UCONN team is capable of pretty much...
