Rarely, in any team sport, do fans give credit to the opponents. It always seems to be an "internal" situation. Players are sluggish/tired, poor execution, overpassing, etc. The simple truth is BOTH teams played very tough defense tonight. Huskies will have nights down the road where they will...

Agree on the assessment that playing well and shooting well are two entirely different things. The effort, particularly on the defensive end, was there all night. Shooting is very mental. I'm in the bay area and have watched Klay Thompson, one of the best shooters in the NBA, struggle for weeks...

With any great teams with a long history winning, its so difficult to see teams and years when that excellence isn't quite there. Sometimes, the biggest fallacy in "coach speak" is, "we have several things to clean up". It doesn't mean this particular U Conn team can't improve, its just that...

I think you need a rotation of 6-7 players even if you are relying on your starters for most of the minutes and even if they all stay healthy. In a 30+ game season and especially in the tournament, there will be times of fatigue and occasional foul trouble. Having said that, I don't think that...

Lou is tough but I think she also has to find a way to be more offensive-minded in a game like that. She shot 60 % from the field and took only 5 shots. She can almost be too unselfish. Q played her tough but they aren’t that athletic. Pheesa and Z scored inside but, as competition gets better...

If they were to only pick three, then I would want Kia, Gabby and Lou. Pheesa still has next year to AA..

I have been on this board for two years, posted a few times last year, this is my first time this season. So many people posting are concerned with backlash or offending other fans. UConn fans are no different than other fans of successful programs (i.e-Alabama-football). There are two types...

I understand the game is less than 24 hours old. It's all very raw and fans aren't used to this. However, the simple truth is MSU won the game and deservedly so. They were the more aggressive team throughout the evening, they out-rebounded the Huskies (by a wide margin on the offensive glass)...

If you were a coach, how would you attempt to defend the Huskies? Would you alternate from zone to man? Would you pick them up all over the court (big mistake in my opinion)? Here are some basic things I would try (at the moment) if I was having to coach vs UConn. First, I would hope that the...

Don't get me wrong, the Huskies deserved the victory, mostly because of the play of Gabby and Pheesa. If Gabby starts hitting that 15 footer around the free throw line, she will be absolutely unstoppable. In the 2nd half, Gabby took over the game by sheer will, determination, and hustle. People...

If you look at any championship team, any season, undefeated or not, there are times in 30+ games where you don't play your best. No team dominates every quarter of every game. There are always going to be highs and lows. You just want to peak come March at tournament time. Obviously Houston...

For those long-time fans, how would you rank this year's team in just pure fan enjoyment? Perhaps this question is a bit premature and would be better asked after the season. However, given where this group is now and where it was at the start of the season, how are you enjoying the season in...

A couple of you have responded on my comment about Gabby being the the only "skilled All-American". First, without a doubt Lou is my favorite player on the team. She is from CA and played at a high school (Mater Dei) that has a history with mine. Second, any player in the staring five (including...

That movie gives every DLS supporter nausea. About 20 % was somewhat factual and 80% was total fiction to drive the "Hollywood" narrative. I loved the movie Hoosiers but I bet people from Indiana that knew the story of Milan (not Hickory) High didn't appreciate all the made-up BS about a drunk...

This will be my first post, hopefully my longest, and thank you for your patience. I see where some of you have been Husky fans for years and have made thousands of posts. I guess it all starts with one.. In truth, I have only been a true U Conn women's hoop fan/Geno Auriemma fan for about a...
