Have a great day and many more.

In last nights game, Caitin Clark made a clutch "logo" three at the buzzer to beat Mich. St. When she did it, she took a step backward to get the shot off. I was always taught that a backwards step was travelling. If I am guarded, I can't take a step backward after I stop dribbling to make a...

As a Red Sox fan, the thing that bothered me the most about Derek Jeter was the little things that he did to win games. Yes he hit home runs and had key hits, but he also moved runners along with bunts and hitting behind runners. Whatever was needed. Maya Moore was the same way. She never...

In the history of team sports, Geno and CD's legacy will be that UCONN women's basketball under them, is the most successful and winningest program of all time, in any sport. However, along with this unparalleled success, Geno has created a "Monster". The Monster is the creation of a level of...

A lot of Providence fans who attended last night are trashing Gampel. Bad concourse, no cell phones, dump, chit hole, etc. But they all admit it is loud and intimidating, reason I love it. But you you know why I love it most. There are 15 frigging National Championship banners hanging there and...

With two minutes to go in the first half, Hawkins blocked a Mitchell shot under the basket. I noticed the shot clock re-set to 30 seconds. Without a change of possession , was that an error? The same thing happened at the women's game at XL.

Last night our women's team looked like a top 4/5 team in the country with all of our injuries. So, I was thinking, which team would win? Last nights starters ( Nika, Lou, Dorka, Aubrey and Aaliyah) or a team of our current injured players, if they were all healthy and in mid-season form. That...

Husky Nation is obviously excited about Paige being back tonight. There are still a lot of unknowns about how Geno will use her. I thought I would start a "Mini" poll and see what the rest of the BY thinks. 1) Will she start or sub? I think she will sub to a standing...

Ok fellow BYers, here we go. When we get the last injured person back, and we know how great she is. We are going to have , possibly for a month...the BEST UCONN women's team , one through nine in our entire history. With the emergence of Azzi to the starting lineup, making the 2022 starters...

In a recent interview with Dawn Staley, McGraw "doubled down" on her call for the media to move away from UCONN women's basketball and to cover more deserving teams. She also added two more digs at Geno and the UCONN program. Geno , as USA National coach "favored" former CT players and that...

I know this is a sensitive topic on the BY and may get me a ton of dislikes and much scorn. For me, she is getting harder and harder to listen to. I just mute her mostly, but the best Womens program in history should have a better TV analyst. I know how much she means to the UCONN WBB family and...

There is a large segment of the WCBB world that has been happy with the situation UCONN basketball has been in this season, 4 losses, and oh my, losses to unranked teams. It's understandable that they route against us, as we have been beating their brains in for years. The national pundits...

One of the few positives coming out of this challenging season is the play of Caroline D. The minutes she is playing, would never have materialized without the injuries. Other than Paige last year, she has been one of the most impressive freshman we have had in awhile. It's often said that she...

It was only the first game, but it was against a quality opponent. Paige had probably her most efficient game (15-19 shooting, 6 boards ,2 steals, etc, etc) as a Huskie. She looks so smooth and under control, that she is obviously is the best player out there. The problem is that she makes her...

In a CD press conference while Geno was out, a reporter asked if Paige had an extra gear. Yes she said, especially if she gets physically roughed up. This brought to mind a song by Jim Croce , from my era, "You don't mess around with Jim" where the chorus goes. " You don't tug on Superman's...

Both coaches mentioned it in their post game conferences. How did Baylor end up being a 7th seed and in Uconns bracket? The NCAA Women's committee had two pre-tournament reveals where Uconn was listed as the overall #1 seed. The head of the Committee stated that unless something drastic happens...

During yesterday's ESPN coverage, they did a story where they stated Paige was from , Hopkins, MN. This is not exactly true. Having lived in Minnesota for five years, where you are "from' can be be more subjective than lets say, if you are from West Hartford. Why? Because what town you live or...

My teachers of statistics taught me that small sample sizes lead to bad conclusions. On this board, many comments are made about shooting slumps that are based on , just that...one or two games and few shots. The general consensus is that an excellent shooters numbers would be 50/40/80....50%...

When you are seeing something for the first time, its hard to grasp and understand what you are seeing. Its even more difficult to explain it in words. So, with Paige Bueckers, we have never seen a freshman player perform this well , so soon. The natural reaction is to compare her to our other...

Geno's press conferences, without doubt, are always entertaining. When asked about walk-on Autumn Chassion today, he had an answer that was very interesting. Among chuckles, he basically said that this young lady left nothing to chance. She decided that she wanted to play basketball at UCONN...

There are two common themes that have been brought up in Geno's post game press conferences. Why the slow starts to games? How do you compare Paige's freshman year to other Uconn stars? His answers, as usual, are direct and insightful. To question number one. Someone other than Paige needs to...

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/depaul-head-coach-compares-genos-234505602.html Doug Bruneau saying Uconn women's basketball program (under Gino) is the best ALL TIME mens or womens in history

UConn players are here only a short while. The great ones, which we have been fortunate to have quite a few, are here even less time. Can we appreciate their skill and talent, without the obligatory dig? A freshman talent like Bouknight is ,obviously, one of those few. When he makes a...

Now that Notre Dame has fallen off the cliff in terms of winning, currently, 5-8, RPI #96, and 2-5 home record. Its time to drop them from our non conference schedule. When we played them in the Big East, most years we played them 3 times, in other words we played them a lot. There never has...

Each and every player just put on one of the most amazing games that I can remember. Kudos to the UCONN women!

She obviously played really well tonight before she "tweaked" her ankle. KLS has been our best player this year. But , in my opinion, the team's offense seems to take the biggest step back when Crystal is not in the game. Thoughts?

Last five years our record is 172 Wins, 2 Losses.... Avg. season, 34.4-- .4, ( this season not complete) Previous five years record is 182 wins-11 Losses....Avg season, 36.4--2.4 Our ten year total record is 354 Wins, 13 Losses, Avg. season 35.4--1.3 losses By any stretch of the...

I can't remember a better first half. 53-24 against the defending national champion, on the road, loud full house... Number 7 ranked team, with their AA Wilson healthy Truly amazing performance, our young ladies are truly remarkable..

Is a consistent, PURE Three point shooter...in the mold of Brian Fair, Albert Mouring, Ray, BG, Neils Giffey..Rashad Anderson.. Am I asking for too much?

In order for a baseball player to play for the New York Yankees, the first thing they need you to do shave their beards and cut their hair. Why? Because it's a symbol that your joining an organization that is bigger than you; your personal style choices mean little. 27 time world Champions can...
