    Duke first to the Sweet Sixteen

    I am very happy for Kara. When she played for UT, needless to say I never rooted for her and had no interest in her successes. Time passes and she becomes a household name. Her analysis and ability to call a game as fairly as she did, I enjoyed her more as time passed. We learn her history and...

    Shout out to Ice

    You nailed it! Thank you for this thread FOR her. When it was apparent she would start and play ALOT Sunday, I was very concerned. She shut me up and did it again last night. Thank you Ice!!!!!!!!!!! Her team mates also helped her confidence, as the games progressed and she carried her...

    Game Day! Against Marquette at 2:30 pm on FS1. Today's Top 3 Things I Want To See.

    1) Aaliyah starting. 2) Veterans play like they did when Aaliyah went down. 3) Bench play like they did when Aaliyah went down.

    Marvelous Maya [merged thread]

    Nan, you are absolutely correct. This young woman, ball player, ambassador, human being etc etc. There is not an adjective in the dictionary to do her justice. Just loved her on the court and didn't see the potential be SO big off the court.

    Aubrey :-)

    Aubrey is and always has been a dynamo. If I had a buck every time I yelled at Geno to put her in, I'd be well off. I literally cried for her 2 seasons ago, when she couldn't play. There's a lot about her that I absolutely love. I certainly don't need to describe her impact to any of you BYers...

    Princeton

    I must confess, my history rooting for Princeton began with Carla taking over. Of the UConn coaching tree under Geno, in my mind, Carla is the best. Even when she played for Geno, her attitude has been to "take care of business". Her players are well coached and her teams always make an impact.

    Azzi Fudd - Reluctant Star - Overrated or Pippen?

    Love these women!!!! I think Azzi only lacks game rhythm. The kid hasn't had a stretch where her comfort has been able to become game driven. Situational success needs time to develop. Sure she can shoot and has had flashes of brilliance, but nagging injuries and lack of physical comfort have...

    Congratulations Aubrey

    I absolutely love this young woman. It's been sheer pleasure to watch her for her career. Even her younger years, she made a difference when she came into the game. It was heart breaking to see her sit out a year. I am confident she will be wearing "our" uniform this coming season and I pray for...

    Geno's Funniest Line Ever Occurred This Evening (Thursday May 4)

    I can visualize this conversation and all I can say, through tears of laughter, "classic Geno"!

    An Appeal to UConn fans: for the Sport

    Plan to watch all 3 games. Normally we would be in the stands but that ended with Covid. The wife and I were even at the ones UConn weren't there. The last time that happened was '07. Travel just isn't in the cards anymore. May the best team win! The best team on any given game could be either...

    Roll call - where will you be while watching Saturday’s game

    In my recliner right here in Myrtle Beach. That's right, our UConn teams take precedent over golf. :):cool::D

    Just One Observation Before The DePaul Game

    Surprised to see this on the general board but agree 100%. You've described exactly how I feel about our team, this season. Thank you.

    If your head is full of negativity and venom, and want to blame someone, and think the season is over

    Our women (kids), were out played. We'll get over it quicker than they will. Our job is to support them and thank them for giving us everything they have and then some. This has been a fantastic season to see maturity in the face of disaster. Even though I didn't sleep much last night, I'm sure...

    We're at a LOW in the season, by Uconn standards

    All I am expecting is for our women to come out with energy, spunk and teamwork. Yes, they're tired and short handed. Yes, they are emotionally drained. But, they are still kids and have more in the tank than some of us want to believe. I have a feeling they will play with as much heart as they...

    Poll: UConn vs Providence

    Clearly our women are fatigued, mentally as well as physically. Their mindset was probably to go through the motions and pick up the win and go home (dorm). The opponent was supposed to be a cupcake. They are not super human and allowed to "slip" along the way. However, when the chips were down...

    UCONN Cheerleaders

    Team!!!!!!!!!! On court or on bench, ALL IN. I love these kids (women). All of them. What a great picture. Thank you Beercats.

    Expect the UnExpected

    My favorite is 2013 ff semi-final. We get sweet revenge after losing to the gold dome 3 times that season. I have watched it so many times, my wife is sure to have me committed. What's so good about it is that we not only won, we throttled them. That's the game Stewie "came out of her shell"...

    Congratulations Morgan

    Congrats and pray you have a long and happy marriage. Ran into Morgan on the streets of Dallas, as we were there for the '17 FF. Wished her a successful career and expressed how much she was missed. She did say that the team was doing very well without her. Needless to say, we spoke with her...

    Will Azzi be ready for the Creighton game?

    We all want Azzi back but we are tempering that want with "when she's healthy". As much as we'd like to win any and every game, none is more important than any player not being ready. I'm of the opinion that we can beat Creighton with the core of players we presently have. My greatest concern...

    What I want for Chanukah and Christmas

    Very interesting! My 2 older brothers used (dare I say, still do) to say that to me on a regular basis. We're all vets. They were ground pounders and I was a squid. Is there something there?

    Inês Post Game

    Yes, difficult circumstance for her. Must say I probably wouldn't have performed as well as she did. AFTER some disastrous turnovers she DID make 3/4 foul shots, with the game on the line. I believe she has the guts to persevere and hope she becomes the asset we all want her to be. :)

    UConn vs. Princeton Replay

    Thank you for posting the replays. However, I don't think I could stomach watching a replay of this game. Talk about nauseating!!!! My head is still spinning, I got very little sleep and have to play some golf today. Oh, the agony!;) Praying for the health and healing of all our injured and...

    Ranking Conferences

    Just a thought; The "P-5" MUST be ranked 1 - 5. Otherwise a different conference would be included in the "P-5" and one of the annointed ones would be dropped out. So, with that in mind, BE is doing quite well to be the 1st also ran conference. ;);) I didn't vote because I really don't watch...

    OT: UConn Football: Didja notice?

    Moved to MB last year and got my MB Bowl tickets, after today's tough loss. Have a golf date in the AM and a football date in the PM. Takes a bit of the sting from our women's difficult day.

    Poll Who's in your Starting Lineup. Dorka or Aubrey

    I must recuse. My affection for Aubrey, since her freshman days, makes me want her in the game. I enjoy her play, disruption of the opponent, ability to run the floor, always has head up and knows where to be. She may lack a lot of skills but she is just a joy to watch, making use of 100% of the...

    Latest (Nov 28) AP Poll

    Rankings are only good for conversation. Other than that, this time of year, they're meaningless. We know our women are the best and that's all that really matters. During the 2nd quarter yesterday, I was almost on life support. Fortunately, during half time, the wife had me on oxygen and I was...

    Some great pictures from the Game Photo Gallery

    Coach P may be acting a BIT silly but is bringing a bit of levity to the coaching staff. Thanks for the great pics. I am ecstatic the season has begun. I know it's exhibition, but we are underway.

    Watching Kutztown Exhibition from outside Connecticut

    Boneyarders are fantastic!!!!!!! Watching on Fox61+/Roku. Without all of your direction, I'm sure we would not have been successful, getting the game. Thank you and oh yeah.........Thank you.

    UConn wins Charlie Creme's Toughest Schedule Trophy

    Early challenges show weakness and Geno will be ready and able to fill the various gaps that have been exposed. He doesn't want those exposures late in the season. A HOF coach for good reason.

    THE song that means a lot to you

    "Evergreen" by Roy Orbison. The wife and I were 2 years apart and dating in early HS. Parents were not into our relationship and discouraged, constantly. Because of parental oversight, we were off/on for 4/5 years. We always told each other that if we believed the song lyrics, we'd persevere and...

    NCAA records for the last 5 years

    Thank you, Nan. As much as has been written about the demise of our beloved young women, they continue to perform and outperform, in the face of adversity. It is gratifying to see such a simple statistic as this and realize the opponents are still "climbing" to our team's level. As we look...
