    Caroline minutes

    Not sure if this was a good example. Aubrey missed most of the preseason with a back injury followed by a high ankle sprain which kept her out of the season opener against Arkansas.

    Shea Ralph / Vandy

    Vandy kept shooting 3s and didn’t drive to the basket (ie no free throws for the first 3 quarters). Coach Shea didn’t look happy.

    Game on FS1 [merged thread]

    Which annoyed you more, the number of whistles or the commentators who didn’t add to the game but enjoyed hearing their own voice?

    New post game thread series - Play of the Game-Marquette

    That was an outstanding play. I’m torn between this and Paige’s reverse layup

    An embarrassment of riches

    Auriemma once said “I do think our fan base has become spoiled. I do think they’ve lost sense of reality. Hopefully this year they realize this is really hard.” “Getting to the national semifinals is hard. Advancing will be even harder.” Auriemma doesn’t want anyone, including the program’s...

    Classic Geno

    Thanks. Brings back memories. Swin shot a wide-open 10-foot jump shot off a missed free throw by Janae Hubbard into UCLA’s basket. Hubbard got credit for the 2 points.

    Geno On Unrealistic Expectations

    I suspect Geno still feels this way.

    Paige on Defense

    Can’t wait to hear what Geno Is going to say about Paige’s defense after practice. Something like, Geno: yeah, we ran a 5 on 4 drill. Reporter: But Coach, there are 10 players on the court. Geno: Oh, was Paige on the court on the defensive end? btw. I also saw her last game and was...

    Walker All American

    “Meg put in a lot of work before and during the season to elevate her game. She transformed herself into being one of our go-tos on the court,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “Megan had an incredible season and this honor is a testament to her hard work.”

    Pair of tickets for exhibition games for free

    Hi. My wife and I would love to root for the Our team if the Nov 3rd game tickets are still available. Thanks and Go Huskies

    Tenn Putting Westbrook Behind Them

    I don’t think you’re giving Megan enough credit. Did you know she’s already on several WNBA teams radar?

    Napheesa vs Candace

    Thanks. Really enjoyed watching this. I miss her :( but really excited to see her in the WNBA

    Prognosticators Game 20 (Lou) Predictions

    UConn wins 72-53 Christyn Williams will take advantage of Louisville's man to man defense. Expecting a big night from Lou and Napheesa. Asia Durr will be held in check by Crystal.

    Geno embarrasses his starters today

    I don't understand why anyone would be surprised. If he can bench one of the best players ever to play for UCONN then why would he not do the same for this year's starters. Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma benches Breanna Stewart

    WNBA Mock Draft

    Who's happier than Moriah if they get A'ja.

    Sometimes, you just can't win

    Another knucklehead from ESPN knocking the Huskies for being too good after the Cincy game. I wonder if he watched the game or just noticed the box score. I just have to shake my head and move on. When it comes to Darren Rovell takes, UConn simply can't win

    Would you sit the injured

    Ok. Would you risk losing the AAC Championship and break the win streak by sitting or limiting Gabby and Crystal's minutes? Let them rest and heal? Similar to MLB, where the team has already clinched the division and home field advantage and sit many of their starters. Personally, I think...

    A Special Freshman & A Special Junior

    You are assuming Megan would be playing against ND. Based on what Geno has said in the past about consistency in practice and playing time, I don't see it happening.

    I Love their defense against Tulane

    very active. Hands up on defense. Quick hands. A few kick balls from Gabby. Playing with a chip on their shoulders. I love their defense today

    Batouly making progress

    I was most excited about her physical play and not backing down when I heard about her transfer. Don’t forget one of her best games was against South Carolina. From that game. “ playing against some of the nation’s elite forwards in A’ja Wilson and Alaina Coates, Camara had a career-high 14...

    Time to see what Batouly can do?

    Interesting idea. Are there any college teams that play only 5? I can't think of one.

    How Kia Has Grown Up

    I can't agree with you on this one. I think she'll be very successful in the pros. Depending on the team and defensive strategy, Kia is often assigned to "shutting down" the best player on the other team. If she's not quick enough, I would assume Geno would not have given her this...

    Geno and playing time for the reserves

    I can understand the concern voiced in the Boneyard regarding the short bench and lack of playing time for the reserves. This is a nice article summarizing Geno's philosophy on playing time. Trust the system. He knows what he is doing. Geno Auriemma: 'Maybe' UConn Can Become Great Team...

    Do we have 6 AA's?

    I think it’s going to be optics and politics. Optics: It doesn’t look good if Huskies dominates the AA. It will further fuel the UCONN is bad for women’s basketball band wagon. Politics: IMHO, there are haters out there that will point out any statistic that will justify not picking a UCONN...

    Driving Geno crazy

    ok. Good game against ND. There were plays that must have driven Geno crazy. I can think of 2. The multiple inbound passes under the basket for easy lay ups And the first play after the half where ND passed over Z's head for a score. (Geno explained the team just talked about that exact...

    Kia drafted ahead of Gabby?

    I think Kia will be successful in the WNBA and will be whatever the team that drafts her needs her to be. She will not be available after the first round of the draft. There’s a reason why Geno assigns her to the best offensive guard on the other team.

    What Happened To AEH? (And Other Reno Surprises)

    That just may be the case but with the exception of Camara. She has been out for so long, she would need game time minutes before being thrown into the ND game. Or Geno just wants her to rest/heal for another few days.

    Mikayla Coombs

    Thank you. I thought I was the only one who thought she showed a glimpse of her potential. I love seeing her drive to the basket. She's going to be a Hugh asset in the future especially when the offense stalls.

    Prognosticators Regular Season Game 3

    I disagree. I don't think they will miss a beat. Bench will step up. Continuation from 3rd quarter of last game. Not leaking into account the 4th quarter as too many inexperienced players on the floor at onc. UConn 92-56
