    Prognosticator's Predictions Tournament Game 8 UConn vs Iowa

    Hoping against this. UConn surprised me in the last game, so maybe they'll do it again. I sure hope so, but for prediction purposes, I think the dance ends tonight. Iowa 81 UConn 78

    UConn is the Favorite

    It is bad karma to start talking about UConn being a favorite. The team is understaffed and against Duke, ran out of steam and almost lost the game. If Nika picks up another three fouls in 8.7 seconds or whatever it was, it will be a very tough night. Having said that, several previous posters...

    UConn-Duke postgame thread

    Ugly, ugly, ugly. More than that, this is a team whose players seem to be out of gas.the best conditioning in the world foes not prepare them for playing the whole game without a break. I have to believe the bect team will be ready to simply wear them out. Geno can do as he did in this game...

    Can the UConn-Duke gsme be accessed in Canada?

    For reasons out of our control (death in the famiy) my wife and I find ourselves in Quebec for the next few days. We'd love to watch the Duke game or listen to it.we have no idea how to accomplish this. Any technologically adept BYers have any thoughts on this. As always, thank you.

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    As soon as the announcers see that the game isn't close, they stop calling the game and start blathering. If you think the UConn game was bad, watch -- if you can stand it -- a game that was not expected to be close and wasn't close, like the Holy Cross-Iowa game yesterday, You would not have...

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    Jackson State is a pretty damn good team. Their center at times was driving UConn nuts. That said, I really thought UConn played below their ability, even given the fact that JSU was playing well. There were just several defensive lapses, some on Oaige's part. Here's hoping these are things...

    Fairfield Game

    Just saw a very satisfying game featuring the other Connecticut team,. Niagara seemed to lead forever, and Fairfield stormed back to win goiing away. Won with a great deal of emotion as well. A very nice showing and enjoyable to watch. I'm not going to say the teams in this league are the...

    The Hand We Were Dealt

    I didn't get a chance to share this observation the other night after the semifinal game, and it may repeat what others have said. If so, please forgive me. The semifinal game was the most satisfying UConn victory I have seen in at least three years. Why? Because of the absolute joy and abandon...

    It will be Georgetown

    The same crew of absolutely incompetent referees that handled the UConn game yesterday -- yes, the one they let get out of control with physicality, allowed the Georgetown-Creighton game to turn into a scrum today. One Georgetown player appears to have been pretty seriously (or at least very...

    Not sure what it is, but I really want to see Jana play and I really want to see her do well.

    UCONN Back to #10 on 2-26-24 AP Poll (merged)

    Note sue I would have ranked UConn ahead of NC State or Colorado, but it's a pretty reasonable ranking list overall.

    Season suspended

    Here's the thing..... Anybody remember when UConn fans, asked why they would attend blowout games against much lesser opponents, talked about the beauty with which the UConn players played, and how it was more performance art than sports? It's a shame, but parity (not to mention three years of...

    Geno's comments...from ESPN...hmm

    I really wish folks would stop saying that Geno only needs "x" number of wins to pass Tara. They seem to have forgotten that she is still coaching, and coaches a teM that us much better than UConn. So she will likely widen hee leas by one is two this year.

    How UConn will Beat South Carolina

    The flying elephants will keep dropping the ball into the SC basket, over all those players towering over UConn's players. In other words, no way, no how. I wish it weren't true, but I expect this to be a blowout, and not the good kind.

    Geno On Under-Officiated" Paige: Daniel Connolly

    First off, we can all agree that Paige gets bounced around an awful lot, and many of those bounces could be called fouls. We can probably also all agree that refereeing in the women's college game is far from what we would like it to be. But when it comes to how officiating is going to go in any...

    Nika +13

    I'd like to thank the OP for finding a statistical way to demonstrate what I thought I was seeing during the gam: When Nika was in, it seemed UConn was more effectively defensively, which led to a more effective offense. I totally agree that it's on her to make sure she dials back the...

    UConn - Notre Dame post game

    I cannot remember a time when I've been so upset and depressed at the same time. I wonder what the hell UConn's game plan was, because I could not discern one, especially as the game went on. Can no one figure out that Hidalgo is going to do the same two things until someone changes the defense...

    None of UConn's 3 PGs make Nancy Lieberman Mid Season Top 10 List

    I think the headline says it all There are three of them. Dividing it up that way means that none is necessarily venturing into statistical superstar territory. Of course, those of us whop watch them know how good they are, but at the end of the day, there is no ONE player who just had to make...
