Obviously not here for an argument, but I do take issue with this notion in particular. Every practice is an opportunity for every player on the team regardless of their role to elevate, develop, and refine their game. Geno holds an abundance of experience and a wealth of knowledge, but unless...

She really is the epitome of a team player, and that hurt her personal accolades in a sense. Her mentality was never "What can I do to reach AA status? What can I do to get on the wall? What can I do for myself?" but rather "What can I do for the team? What can I do to help my team succeed? What...

Not to pop in on the ongoing EDD discussion, but on another thing I've noticed throughout many sports: There's a lot of people out there that think when it comes to the Olympics - though this can be said about any major competition, like the World Cup for football fans and the IIHF World...

Oh dear... how will we EVER recover from this? I fear we might not even make the tournament next year, BY friends. We appear to be a long shot for the WNIT. We're absolutely doomed with no chance of recovering at this point. :rolleyes: Next year might be tougher than seasons we've witnessed in...

Congratulations to ND. Not happy about it, but it is what it is. I think you have to feel for Vic and his girls after Mabrey completely clobbered - I apologize for not knowing the player, as I don't watch much outside of UConn for WBB - the poor girl at around half court. But it is what it is...

Thank you for this. I genuinely didn't understand, but it makes sense.

I'm not entirely well-versed in Bracketology, if you will, but would anyone be willing to explain to me how a team like Cal ends up in the Albany bracket, and why the committee seems allergic to placing USF in a bracket that's not ours?

Depends on what people consider the most important, I suppose. Is the most important player the best all around player? The leader? The glue of the team? An argument could be made for any of the options listed in the poll, each for a different reason.

If his instagram is anything to go by, it looks like Kia's brother Darnell (Defenseman for the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL) will be in attendance to see her play for the first time in years!

:eek: According to SNY, Kia's leading the nation in 3 point shooting right now?

It's sad to me to see that some people seem disappointed or perhaps perturbed that some of us genuinely do care about her success. While she didn't perform to the expectations that some set for her, it can't be argued that she bled blue through and through, and was a critical part of the team...

Hopefully Kia ends up a little warmer in the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter. I'll even take lukewarm!

I missed part of the quarter, but am I alone in thinking Pheesa already looks better this game than she has all season?

One could very well argue that it should have never gotten to the point where they were forced into taking that last minute shot to begin with. One could argue that they should have come out stronger, played a better game, and had the game in the bag by the half. It's all about how you look at...

Watching the Presser is exactly why I'm proud to be a fan. Kia and Gabby are putting on the bravest faces right now, and they are so very humble.

Congratulations to Miss State. Incredible fight, incredible drive, and the better team won tonight. The loss doesn't take away from everything else this team managed to accomplish this season. They defied the odds, and I'm so incredibly proud to be a fan of the Huskies now more than ever. It...

FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME! :D

Am I the only one that thinks they look a bit jittery? Tense and tight and very un-Husky. :eek:

SC looks flat. I'm not sure if I'm surprised by that, but I'm disappointed. I was hoping for a more dynamic showing.

My heart is breaking for Karlie. I really, really hope that looked way worse than it actually is. :(

Kia Nurse... is good at basketball. :eek::cool:

I get what you're saying, but for the sake of it, let's throw out some hypotheticals. Say I'm a Baylor fan living in Waco. For some ungodly reason, Baylor's first games are being played in El Paso. That's a 9 hour car ride, and that's not including any traffic I might run into. Not every state...

One has to ask this question: if the games are played at neutral sites, who's going to go? It's unfortunate that only a few select teams are able to draw a crowd, and we are extremely lucky as UConn fans to have an arena that sounds and looks the way it does when it's packed with students and...

Devastating. I just hope her surgery and treatment goes well, and that she has a speedy, safe, and comfortable recovery. This is a huge loss for ND, and my heart goes out to Bri who has to end her season this way. All the best to her, to the team, and to her family. It's refreshing to see her...

Absolutely incredible! I wish nothing but the absolute best to the happy couple and I can't say congratulations enough!

What about 5 words: Utter domination by Kia Nurse. :cool:

Kia Nurse just might be good at basketball :cool: I'm so glad I made the choice to come to the game tonight.

Beautiful win by Quinnipiac! Congratulations! :cool:

I'm currently in Tampa for a conference and missed a huge chunk of the game, but I've finally settled in for the last couple of minutes. And all I can say is: wow. I can't wait to watch this game on replay.

Best games I got to see in person: DePaul, Baylor, #100 SC. Absolutely incredible energy from the arena in all 3 games. Beautiful basketball in the DePaul game, flashes of pure genius from Crystal Dangerfield in the Baylor game, and just... history made at the SC game. I've been to a lot of UConn games, but...

You'd think after years of having this conversation, people would be tired of writing the same exhausted "UConn is bad for women's basketball" rhetoric. And yet, year after year, here they are. It's really rather tragic. :rolleyes: If you can't beat them, get better. It's really that simple.

If I remember correctly, he did get into a scrap or two while with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the OHL. This was, of course, before the OHL actually cracked down a considerable bit on fighting and penalizing those that racked up too many fighting majors. Not unusual. It does sound bad...

Darnell is, in my opinion at least, an asset to the Oilers organization. He's a fighter, but he plays solid defense and he brings something special to an already loaded team. Just came back from injury too - busted his ankle in... I want to say it was December, but I could be wrong. Alas, he's...

ND vs. Maryland makes for a compelling matchup. That potential game right there - provided this is what the selection committee draws up for brackets - makes me think ND has the toughest road to the F4. As for the easiest trip, I'd actually pick Baylor. I stand with the majority, though. SC is...

I can't say I'm not excited to see her back :cool: I just hope that her ankle is well and that she feels completely comfortable playing. We might not 'need' her -- though I do think this team always needs her in some capacity -- right now, but we're going to need her later.
