    Jackson State info

    Yeah, sounds about right. Run, run, run, and in the halfcourt set I would run high pick and rolls at them all day, they don't seen to know how to defend that. Paige could go for 40.

    Jackson State info

    Regarding height, they have a 6'6" player, Jackson, who starts, plays about 25 minutes, and averages about 10 and 7. Another big, 6'5" Walker, plays about 10 minutes a game averages 3 and 3.5. The third, White, 6'5", tore her ACL in January. It looks like they have a height advantage. They...

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    At least their friends could sit in the front rows at Cameron, that`s one positive. They may actually generate some interest in the portal, even though none of them are double figure scorers. However, Donovan`s 39% free throw percentage might give some suitors pause.

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    Maybe so, I hope we never get the chance to find out. Meanwhile, the three top 30 recruits for Duke from the class of 2023 are wondering why they played in front of more people when they were in high school. Wonder what Lawson told them?

    Who will Sarah Strong pick?

    I have never been to Cameron Indoor Stadium but it is said to be a fabulous on-campus basketball facility, Cameron Crazies, etc., Dick Vitale baby. It seats 9314. It often sells out. For the men, that is. I looked at the attendance figures for the games on the Duke WCBB website. Looks like...

    2025 Women’s Final Four - Tampa Bay

    I was there in 2019. Amalie is a great arena and Tampa in April makes too much sense. If you go be sure to spend some time in Saint Petersburg!

    Nika Confirms “Last Ride”

    Nika really connected with many of us in a special way. Her early struggles, the tears on the bench, unsure and far from home, she was the underdog we chose to root for. She provided effort, intensity, enthusiasm, personality, joy, spark, and much more. Her game developed, as did her leadership...

    Big East Tourney

    Has anyone seen anything about tickets to the first two rounds of the NCAAs?

    Who would have thought it

    I am a huge Nika fan as well. During that difficult 2020-2021 season when fans could not attend games and players on the sideline had to sit apart from each other with masks on, Nika introduced herself to us. We didn’t quite know what to make of her. She was dealing with a foot injury, it took...

    UConn stats.... Nika assist record countdown...

    She's got this. Assuming they get to the Sweet 16, hardly a stretch, she has at least 7 more games to get 35. She had 13 against Providence the first time around. She may see them twice in a row, since UConn could see them in first round of Big East tournament. First round of the NCAA is also...

    Stephen A and Dan O on UConn bball

    Well he’s not wrong about it being physical. But let me get this straight. He was the UConn QB from 2001-2005, a stretch that included three national titles, the great 2002 team, Taurasi, Bird, Cash, etc. - and this is the first women’s game he ever went to?

    Nika Muhl- A Great Teammate!

    I couldn’t tell what Nika said but I think the last word was an uncomplimentary noun beginning with the letter “b”.:mad: I would not put Nika in a lane position when we are shooting free throws. She has picked up a few violations for getting in the lane too soon, and she hasn’t gotten many...

    12 fouls or less from UConn, Olsen draws three or less, no one on UConn with two or more at the half 12 or more assists from the Fierce One (Rocky gets credit for the name) 12 or more UConn threes

    Villanova Pregame Availability (merged)

    Both player interviews are great. They are both relaxed, funny, introspective, and articulate. They take their leadership roles very seriously. Great players, great teammates, great role models. Great interviews! In particular I thought Nika’s answers were largely pitch perfect, especially when...

    A day with Caroline...

    The December 19, 2021 game against Louisville is available at tcf’s stuff above. Watch the second half of that game and imagine adding that Caroline to what we already have next year. In a game filled with WNBA and future WNBA players, her star shone most brightly that day. Hoping that she...

    Bracketology - week of Feb 20

    Creme has Colorado ahead of us - by two slots if I understand how these things work - but they have away games at USC and UCLA this weekend. Hard to know who to root for or against from a UConn perspective, lots of road to go, but for those two games I am going with “root root root for the...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation 5

    This is very informative, thanks for posting. My major takeaway is that a high school senior who waits it out until after May 1 can have a fairly clear vision of what the rosters of her teams of interest will look like. Seems relevant to where UConn currently finds itself. The May 1 deadline...

    UConn-Creighton postgame

    It was a good crowd, nice to see a lot of young people at the game. Also the last game at XL this year, UConn goes 7-0 there with some impressive wins, especially Louisville, Marquette and now Creighton. Creighton is a veteran team that is 21-2 against teams other than UConn. They have been...

    Senior Night Ceremony

    Through it all, they have won 111 out of 130 games over the last four seasons. Remarkable in its own right, but amazing given all of the injuries and lack of depth.

    UConn vs. Georgetown post game - Senior Night

    I was at the game and stayed for the ceremonies and player speeches. Glad I did, that was an electric moment. Student section especially, they love Paige and Paige loves them. Good crowd, close to full, and large majority stayed for the ceremonies. At the beginning of the game, they played...

    Analysis and Comments - Game 27 - UConn vs Georgetown (game 2)

    In the Hartford Courant article today by Emily Adams, she quotes Geno as saying that he expects Aubrey to return next season but that the others haven`t said anything to him. Aubrey`s return makes perfect sense. She can rehab at UConn all summer and hopefully be ready to play at least the...

    UConn vs. Xavier post game

    I liked the way that Ice played. She was overall much more active and was getting to rebounds outside of her zone. Her outside shot also looked softer, she has had a tendency to shoot back-rim clanging line drives but it looked good last night. Some nice moves inside as well. I also liked how...

    Senior Night, Feb 16

    If you have ever been to a women`s game at Gampel, you know that every night is Senior citizen night. :cool:

    Fastest to 600 wins

    Dave Hixon, Amherst class of 1975, coached the men`s program at Amherst for over 40 years and is the only Division Three coach in the Naismith Hall of Fame. Two national titles to his credit. So I would say that Amherst does basketball pretty darn well.

    Morgan Cheli is Naismith Semi-Finalist

    It is interesting to see the names people are comparing her to. Evina, Haley Jones, Sabrina, Aubrey, Owusu, Amy Duran, Saylor - who appears to be thriving at Arkansas, I am very happy for her - Caroline, and in a previous thread, Katie Lou. Heady company. From what limited clips of her that I...

    UConn - Seton Hall post game

    The point about looking at the score is a pretty simple one. if you are down big on the scoreboard and you continue to play a "watch the paint dry" kind of methodical offense you will ultimately run out of time to catch up, even if run your methodical stuff well.

    UConn - Seton Hall post game

    While Seton Hall is a pretty good defensive team, the shots we were missing were mostly wide open. Felt like an aberration. We were up 17-5 after one but it could have easily been 27-5. Aaliyah had nine rebounds in the first quarter. We will need something like that on Sunday. We finally got...

    Best player on the best team in the country with UConn written all over her.

    UConn-South Carolina game

    I looked at the box score from last year and what is really strange to me is the fact that only three players who played meaningful minutes last year are playing this year. Edwards, Muhl, and Raven Johnson. Hall played four minutes last year. South Carolina`s entire starting lineup is gone...

    Hilarious Paige "Photobomb"

    At least it wasn`t this guy
  34. Huskee11

    Win total this season

    Sitting at 19 now. Eight regular season games left, plus very likely three in the Big East Tournament. If they run the table in the Big East, that gets them ten more to 29. Even if they lose at SC, they would only have to win the first two NCAA games (almost assuredly at Gampel) to get to 31...

    Huskies sweep BEast weekly honors

    Plus Olsen and Drake both made it, on teams we beat last week. And their stat lines, though decent, were worse than that of Paige.
