I don't necessarily disagree with your player assessments, but you do overlook the fact that All-American is an individual, not a team award.

Stats alone rarely tell a complete story. There's an old adage which says, figures don't lie, but liar's can figure. No, I'm most certainly not calling you a liar. What I'm saying is that many hidden factors need to be taken into account that don't ever show up in stats. The HUGE factor...

So, am I disappointed? Yes, but probably not nearly as much as Z is herself. I feel sorry for her, but I'm still critical in her overall game from time to time. She has been unfairly hyped and as others have pointed out she is playing out of her natural position. She's doing the best she can...

In order to block shots, one basically must be positioned in or around the key. If you actually watch these games and her movements on the court, you'd know that Lou is rarely in the defensive key when shots are being taken there. Why? Because she's not a post player and her defensive...

Gabby! A'ja is overrated and only shines against smaller less talented players.

Hmm, Lou is already a legitimate candidate to be on UConn's GOAT first team! I could give two hoots if she improves her offensive rebounding (although I'm sure she will). It's more than adequate and that's good enough for me. Your shot blocking request is extremely puzzling? Lou is NEVER...

Oh gee, so this is what's it's like when actually playing against talent.

Lou is my favorite player, that's no secret. I love everything @Lou24 and @01Neaggrad02 have said about her. It's rare when I can't find reasons to vote for her as BadAss in every game. I didn't against SC because I thought Gabby and Kia were slightly more deserving.

This is a tough decision. When it mattered Kia was killa in the first half. However, I'm giving Gabby a slight margin of victory because in big games (like this one was suppose to be), she simply takes over. In many ways she reminded me of the semi-final game of UCLA vs. Jacksonville when...

Unfortunately, the comments I've read from @JordyG about Z are accurate.

Yep, horrible announcing crew. Also, placement of the video cameras couldn't have been worse and the sound was terrible too (but that could be an individual problem?).

Interesting!

N0 problem @Gus Mahler. Marques was one of my favorite UCLA Bruins (although admittedly there have been numerous others as well). I began following him when he played for Crenshaw HS.

To clarify... Johnson claimed to have coined the term "point forward", a position he played out of necessity for part of one year in 1984 for the Milwaukee Bucks. The team was short on point guards that year due to injuries, so Don Nelson, coach and GM, had Johnson setup the offense from the...

Tina Charles?

Maya Moore?

He was rated the greatest NBA point guard of all time by ESPN in 2007.

VPN's are great at hiding your truly identity and location. However, if you pay your Internet Provider for fast speed (100 Mbps for example), be prepared to lose it when using a VPN.

The easiest way to avoid that problem is to simply shut off any automatic email gathering service before using the VPN. This procedure could be applied to any service that recognizes your IP address as a measure of security. You could also contact the necessary providers (email or otherwise)...

Hey, I didn't just fall off the back-end of a turnip truck! I've been around for many years and have a pretty good idea what happens in front and behind the cameras. My previous remarks about AEH's lack of good decision making had (as clearly stated) more to what she (and those advising her)...

If I'm being honest, AEH's decisions make little sense to me. First she commits to UConn (far earlier than wise) and then continues to honor that commitment even though two higher ranked players would be coming in with her (Walker & Coombs). In addition, the #1 ranked team only losses one...

Absolutely! Well said.

Hmm, I really do "fell" (as you put it) it necessary to correct an individual who repeatedly misspells a players name! How can someone comment on a UConn player and not know how to spell her name? Once would be considered a typo, twice (and more) is inexcusable for the reason previously posted...

It's called having enough respect for someone to at least spell their name correctly. You misspelled it at least twice within this single thread, so clearly you haven't clue!

Dude, her name is spelled MEGAN. Please commit it to memory. Thanks.

Tiana is a 22 year old sophomore (23 in April) from Australia who was rated as the best Junior College point guard last year. She has tons of experience and started playing in the WNBL in 2011. She doesn't belong in this discussion, but is someone to watch.

Sia's "Unstoppable" isn't sad, but could easily our team's theme song. :)

Toby Keith's "American Soldier" always touches me in so many ways.

I have no idea what the purpose of this thread is, but I think Mody's "One of These Mornings" (ft. Patti LaBelle) is both haunting and sad.

What, this team doesn't know how to set screens to get Katie Lou open? Unbelievable! She touched the ball twice in the 2nd quarter in a position to shoot. They also continually fail to get her the ball when she cuts for the basket. That, of course, is nothing new as it's been happening the...

I don't understand your first statement, because neither Walker or Stevens replaced Chong. Dangerfield did and that appears to be a definite improvement (although not intending to slight Saniya). The addition of Stevens has definitely changed things, not all for the better. She's usually...

Only people who have never been a starter and/or have never played for a true winning program understand the logic (and actual need) for the very best players to play a majority of the minutes in a game regardless of the score. Your best can't get better collectively and/or individually if...

[ ] Jones was a 3rd team All-American that year and besides the University of UConn (understandably) she isn't recognized as such. Tuck was NOT an All-American that year! Well, once you correct your above statements to actual FACTS, I believe there is a significant difference! [ ]

For the last time! I was clearly talking about this season! So, Lou is playing with three teammates who potentially deserve All-American honors for THIS SEASON. I've been a big fan of UConn basketball since 1995. To my best recollection, neither Diana, Maya or Stewie played with three...
