per Rich. Left ankle... again.

Re-aggravated ankle in practice and could go through shoot-around this morning.

ahem.

More like an echo of last season's Bria Hartley.

Nothing will please me more than to see Banks develop into THIS year's Bria Hartley.

This is beginning to feel like a curse or witchcraft.

Ok guys, which one of you has all those little dolls with UConn jersey's on them and sticking them with needles and pins ?

Thoughts go out to Brianna. Looking like Saniya is going to get a huge boost in playing time.

Cannot help but notice, as the first half of SMU ends, that Dolson appears a bit winded. Stewart, also, in missing some shots. Effect of so much playing time, perhaps? This never used to happen, at least not the windedness, back when UConn had players. My worry is not with Louisville. UConn should be able to beat them twice -- but what happens if/when they face Louisville yet another time? Then in the tournament, an incredibly talented but depleted UConn team could be ripe for the picking by Notre Dame. Probably no one else, but ND is very talented and much deeper than UConn. which could be one player in foul trouble away from a very difficult day.

I thought Stef looked much less winded tonight than the last couple of games.

 

[tomcat]

Ice, maybe that's true, but I think you just made my point in a different way. It probably is not surprising that she is less winded in a 60-point win than in something with a bit closer score, but I don't recall this problem last year.

 

[Icebear]

I think she had been fighting a cold that's all. I noticed it in the earlier games that it slowed her. She was really running tonight.
