    Since I'm new to the board and it's the off season....

    It was Rebecca Lobo (the Wolf) who first inspired me to watch and enjoy WCB. However it was Diana Taurasi who compelled me to fall in love with the UCONN Huskies WCB team and culture. Diana is a living high-light film. And finally, Gabby. She is so exciting to watch. Diana and Gabby, play...

    South Carolina Pre-Game Stuff

    Geno recruited Aja Wilson very hard, because in his opinion, Aja was a fit for his program's profile. But, she decided to go to the USC Gamecocks. Was she life ready when Geno was recruiting her but has now regressed? I submit, if Geno had gotten Aja Wilson, not only would her game be more...

    What a great group of amazing people

    What an amazing collection of talent! Each time I hear one of these women speak, current or past, they handle themselves with so much maturity and insight. I love watching their destinies un-fold. Geno and the other coaches have a great eye for talent and character.

    Boneyard Badass Awards for Tulsa. . .

    Napheesa and Chong were both excellent tonight! I enjoyed it when Meg used the phrase "Saniya is on fiya." It made me laugh. Woof 101, I love your avatar. Badass!

    Did Morgan Help UConn By Leaving?

    Your arguments make no sense. Jerry Rice was the best wide-reciever in the game; a transcendent player. Morgan, Katie Lou, Gabby, and Napheesa are not transcendent players. The current team members may become transcendent college players in the future, but they aren't right now. In Morgan's...

    Did Morgan Help UConn By Leaving?

    I understand you are repulsed by my description of Morgan's body-type. Politically Correct people alway major in minor things and can't help but get upset with imagined slights and outrageous insults. That's why people call them snow flakes. They whine about their hurt feelings, while trying...

    Did Morgan Help UConn By Leaving?

    I should have made the original statement clearer. Very few individuals can be described as a pure Endomorph, Ectomorph, or Mesomorph, but are usually a combination of all three generally. Typically however, they are primarily a combination of two predominate body types. Without examining...

    Did Morgan Help UConn By Leaving?

    Morgan was a great player at UCONN and was a calming influence on the court as leader. She also had a thick, heavy, and sturdy endomorphic body that allowed her to play against taller post players. Morgan was also fearless in her 3 point shooting, which allowed her to get better as her career...

    The Gabulous One Not Ignored

    I must admit, when Gabby is subbed out of the game, I quit watching every play and just listen to fan noise to gage when to rewind. When I see that she is back on the floor, I'll rewind until I find where she re-entered the game, and watch it from that point until she is subbed out again. She...

    Gabby or Napheesa: Who has the better stride?

    We have some incredibly fast runners on this team, especially when they incline their heads and turn on the afterburners. Kia and Saniya are both speedsters when they are closing on a loose ball that they really desire. Gabby is a natural toe walker, which is very common place in 40 to 200...

    Will Gabby be 1st Team AA this Year?

    At 6.0 in height, Maya More is second in rebounds on the Minnesota Lynx team with 7.3 rebounds per game, second to Sylvia Fowles at 9.8 rpg. Gabby and Napheesa, along with Maya share these abilities that make them great rebounders: 1) Desire, 2)Hustle, 3)Timing, and 4) The ability to...

    The best thing about last night was….

    I would add Gabby's flying tip-in in the first quarter. Definitely a highlite reel special!

    Boneyard Badass Awards for USF Victory. . .

    I'm glad we are going to scrap "Core Four". I think it was insulting to call last year's trio, the "Big Three" or whatever they were called. Kia has been a starter for 2 seasons before this one, and hit many timely shots to help this team. Gabby's rebounding has always enabled this team to...

    Katie Lou

    Speaking of interchangeability, team defense on switches involving KLS or Natalie with Crystal or Saniya need to improve. Natalie seems to instantly forget she just switched off of a 6'3" big who in now being defended by a 5'4" guard. She needs to smother the shorter player to prevent the...

    Katie Lou

    KLS is tough! She is a graduate of Mater Dei HS, which is a member of the powerful and super-competitive Trinity League. It is a Christian league here in the Los Angeles area that probably accounts for the majority of Championship in SoCal across all team sports. No matter how they pushed and...

    Pic: Gabby soars

    Gabby's hustle and athleticism makes her a highlight reel staple. She is fun to watch. If you have the ability to view the ND game on DVR, watch the opening tip in slow motion. She is so explosive! Turner eventually reaches her jump's summit and hits Gabby's hand to send the ball out of...

    Time to quit lurking at VN ?

    The "New Big Three" thread was very interesting to read. It reminds me of my study of Japanese medieval dynasties. Shogun dynasties in Kyoto would fall to a new rural warlord. The victorious clan then moved into the city to rule. One to three generations later, having gotten away from the...

    Badass Award for the Notre Dame Victory. . .

    Oh, and by the way, this shouldn't be a big surprise since Uconn returned 4 starters from last season. Sure these 4 starters shared 2 spots in the starting line-up last year, but they all gained valuable minutes and experience.

    Badass Award for the Notre Dame Victory. . .

    Gabby played all 40 minutes, and had 19 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks against only 1 foul and 2 turn-overs. All of this against Notre Dame in South Bend! Bad Ass! But this team has shown incredible toughness and adaptability all season, doing what had to be done to win...

    Badass Award for UConn vs. Texas Game. . .

    Although lately Gabby seems to hesitate to take open outside shots, she has been fantastic this season with her assists. She sets Napheesa up for success because she is quick to exploit Napheesa's off ball movement. She also does a great job on defense against women 5 - 6 inches taller and is...

    Sorry, my error in spelling Napheesa's name incorrectly.

    Stats of what went right... and wrong..

    I thought UConn's defense was better when Gabby played at the top of the 3-2 zone in the fourth quarter. She is very quick, and intercepts passes well in the passing lanes. Naphessa and Natalie did a better job at the bottom of the 3-2 zone. Although Gabby has explosive hops, she is usually...
