Where did you get the idea that anyone's spot is guaranteed? We all have our favorite players but Arnold is no different from any other team member. Using your argument I could say that the only reason Arnold and Shade started was because Fudd and Griffin got injured so when Fudd and Griffin get...

If Chen has the maturity of LLS then she would be a welcome arrival. Maybe it is the the highlights of her burying midrange jumpers like LLS that I like. LLS picked up the system quickly because she had a high BB IQ and Fairfield played a similar system. Playing for Berube gives Chen a good...

I'm wondering if the Cavinder return to Miami is related to Meier's retirement?

No 11 If you think the AP is the last word on how good a team is. UConn spent most of the second half of the season at No 2 on the NCAA's NET ranks and No 2 on Massey. RPI had UConn No 1 for an extended period this season. I agree that that post was a little over the top.

What a coup for Cinci!

Bueckers won't have to carry the scoring load but she will be running the offense. Of course I have been saying this for a couple of spring/summers. Once everyone is back Bueckers will have an elite array of offensive weapons and I don't think she will mind not shooting at all. Bueckers dreams...

True but before my post there was no mention of Edwards and I thought that some balance was called for. I guess I have read too many over the top distortions of the truth aimed at UConn on the checkerboard boards over the years. I don't want that to happen here.

The game in question was against Joyce Edwards' team and the staff was reportedly there to support their recruit.

I'll take 1 in a million for $10. Patterson and Griffin may not be ready so it could be El Alfy & Brady starting. There are a lot of players who will be familiar with the system this spring/summer but the 4 1st year players are unusually gifted in various things. El Alfy has been watching for an...

Not a fool but you are right about him using 15. Beers would be a 2 year gig and Geno has stated that he wanted transfers who had degrees. I think Chen would give him insurance on Fudd but I doubt Chen wants to be a sub. Beers, El Alfy, Brady & Patterson and Strong would give UConn a foul-proof...

So it looks like Strong's announcement will be the halftime show? Game is at 10am, announcement at 11am

Isn't LuHi the team with three MCDAA's?

Watkins was 2-6 on 3's Monday and 32% from 3 for the season. Besides, Fudd is a complete basketball player and not a 1 dimensional 3 pt shooter. I suppose you had Bueckers retiring when she tore her ACL.

From behind it's clear that the defender pulled her down by the shoulder. Clear as day. And with Arnold driving it was in the refs' field of vision.

Two of those are different from the others. And one of those is a geographic anomaly. Anyone who has an offer from both SCar and UConn can go pretty much anywhere she wants.

I think it was the consolation prize to the arena for moving UConn across the country.

Now those of us with tickets are hoping that the demand to see Clark is as high as the media says.

Last year Muhl was the only guard. UConn is starting 3 pg's this year.

I bought a couple of tickets last October for Albany - all sessions. I bought then through ticketmaster. In the past I got the tickets mailed a couple of weeks before the games. I haven't received anything. I have a credit card receipt. My problem is that my Ticketmaster account shows nothing...

UConn has a higher SOS than most P-5 teams. SCar had one SEC game against a ranked team this season. UConn had 3 games against ranked BE teams. The SEC is better than the BE but UConn's schedule over the last 20 years has been tougher than any SEC team. I give SCar credit for scheduling a...

Each conference decides whether their automatic qualifier is the regular season champ or the tournament champ. There should always be path for a cinderella team that caught fire late in the season. .

This is ESPN, a Disney property. Hidalgo likely draws more viewers and more clicks than Kitley. The common trait among their AA's is their high entertainment value, not necessarily their basketball value. I'd like to know how many games Creme actually attended this season.

They reached a higher level of intensity. Or else maybe they just emptied the tank knowing they have a couple of weeks to recover. My hope is that Geno has done what he said back in early Dec, that his goal was the NCAA's and he wasn't going to burn out his team trying to win any regular season...

With her 5 blocks tonight Bueckers broke the NCAA record for most blocks by a Lieberman winner in a season. 2nd and 3rd place are held by Taurasi with 46 and 45. 4th place is held by someone named Diggens with 27.

Thank you.

They can make layups in the NBA.

Silver's comments sounds almost exactly like Auriemma's comments comparing US vs Euro players.

Edward's value is in part due to there being no replacement. Using the same standard Muhl was the MVP last season when she and freshman Bettencourt were the only guards on the roster. Put UConn's roster on the auction block and let the WNBA teams bid for them and Bueckers will get the top...

ESPN ranked Dolson 39th. That isn't a "must get" ranking. Anyway, "must get" means "do it or die". The NCAA topurnament is a series of "must win" games. If it's a must then failure to do it means the end, fini. And that doesn't happen in recruiting. The program moves on. If UConn doesn't...

It would take under 5 min to go to the UConn season stats and look before you post incorrect stats. This poster wasn't very terrified or else they would have checked their facts first.

Of course a player with ample resources could play as a non-scholarship member of the roster.

These "small Catholic Universities" manage to hire high-priced coaching for their mens basketball programs. The plain fact is that wcbb is an afterthought at most universities.

The opponents are keying on Bueckers from the tap so the pressure is off her teammates anyway. One could almost say that her teammates need to make some shots early to take some of the pressure off of Bueckers. UConn got good looks all game against SCar. They just missed way too many.

Players go to UConn because it prepares players for a pro career better than any other school. The midmajors that don't fund their team or provide top level facilities don't sign top talent. College basketball is the end of the road for all but the best and those few still come to UConn and...

Many of the BE teams fund their mens teams well enough to pay top level coaches. I suspect that the governing boards of some of these schools still have members who wish their schools were still "men only".
