Sorry - but I am invisible in my real life as well and sometimes it pushes me to speak out.

Good. More time for this team to spend practicing.

 

[JavaMan]

Well, the silver lining in all this is that UConn can focus all their attention on beating the LV’s on Sunday.

and healing

 

[eebmg]

Gives Geno a longer chance to recuperate. (I think he was having 'sympathy pains' after the Providence game)!

and especially Caroline

 

[JavaMan]

ESPN is showing this little, enjoyable as well as agonizing, highlight compilation on their scoreboard page. Maybe it will help get our ladies up for the big dance on Sunday.

 

[Happydad745]

My stocks are down and UConn's game is cancelled....I don't think this day could be much worse. Maybe I'll break my diet and eat Pizza!

 

[Jletoile]

I consider it a positive development- less time wasted on a tremendously overmatched opponent, more time spent developing, game-planning, healing.

My feel good food. Man, I miss Shady Glen. There’s nothing like it in Florida.

Double damn.

Wait, didn’t someone already post this? Dang - poor fella must feel invisible!

,(Apologies 7961 but this was too good a tease to pass up!)

When I was at UConn I had an AMC Gremlin and the girls from my dorm would squeeze into the car and we'd head to Kathy Johns and get ice cream. It was so much fun.

They don't have Paige's last minute dagger?

 

[Conndog]

UCONN has played 18 games so far this season. The team needs 25 games to qualify for the NCAA tournament. There are 8 regular season games remaining on the schedule + the BE Tournament ~3-4 more games.
Bottom line is UCONN can qualify for the tournament by only playing the remaining regular season games.

Okay, thanks! That's a relief

and I would not look at my stock portfolio for a year in this environment

 

[cabbie191]

Is anyone else thinking back to the Baylor/Oklahoma thread and Nicki Collen’s disparaging OK for showing up for their game 30 minutes late and inconveniencing the Baylor fans and team?

If Geno were of the same mind set as Collen, I’m sure he’s muttering about why those inconsiderate Bulldogs didn’t hop on a plane on Wednesday. Fortunately, I think he’s got a lot more class.

EDIT - I see HuskyNan was also thinking along these lines!

 

[donalddoowop]

I was looking forward to a nice easy win tonight. Haven't had too many games like that this season.

I was looking forward to seeing Piath and Amari get some playing time. One of the disappointing things about this season for me is that I had hoped when the conference schedule started the bench would get plenty of playing time. However, the games have been too close for the coaches to take a chance on playing the bench except for maybe two or three games. Hopefully, there will be some blowouts later and the bench can play more.

That was a pretty low bar.

 

[Centerstream]

Is it an (NCAA) rule that weather related cancelations are not considered a forfeit so therefore not reflected in the Win-Loss world? But if a game is canceled due to COVID, the forfeit is reflected? I guess maybe the COVID cancelations are unique to this season only.

Overpriced and not the same quality I live 5 minutes away and won’t go anymore

I'm sure if Butler could have they would have come earlier than planned to avoid the weather issues.

[Ron and Vida]

The weather outside is frightful
And the Butler game would’ve been delightful
So now I have no place to go
So let it snow let it snow let it snow

 

[Argonaut]

Please tell me time hasn't ruined Harry's in Colchester. That and Ford's in Noank are the two places I miss the most.

 

[Papa33]

Will Geno throw a hissy fit and complain about Butler not managing the weather better so that his team isn’t inconvenienced? Maybe he can take a couple of potshots at refs, too.

Our mellow fellow, Geno? Nah.

 

[HuskyPhan]

I live just down the road from Ford's and they are going strong with some onsite expansion and they bought and reopened the old Seahorse-plenty of lobster rolls to go around

Went to Harry’s last summer still good I’m an Abbotts guy but fords get reviews in the lobster roll thread on the mens board

Yeah, me too. But I made some hot chocolate.

Then, while pondering if I dare try to exit and reenter our driveway, I considered that an extra couple of days of rest, recovery, and practice are good before TN...or so we can hope.

 

[Javafan]

Gabriel and Deberry must feel snakebit. This was probably the one game where they expected to see a fair amount of on court time compared to the per usual.

I feel for Gabriel and DeBerry, they deserve more PT!

 

[Javafan]

RE: #50: I feel for Gabriel and DeBerry. They need more PT !

 

[AgStatesman]

I need to know what Butler's travel plans were. Did they attempt to travel yesterday and couldn't get out or did they decide to travel the day of the game (this morning) and get stuck? There is not a men's team in America at the D1 level that wouldn't travel the day prior to a game regardless of the distance. There is a New York City based team playing in Newark tomorrow and they travelled today.
