Butler game cancelled (merged multiple threads)

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

Bummer

Waiting for the hail, pestilence and locusts. That's ok, keep Butler players safe and have UConn come up with a great game plan for UT.

Too funny. Feel you on that one.

Two whole days to teach the team how to get Azzi the ball in a position to sharpshoot.
(May also want to throw in a segment on getting her the ball when she’s open on cuts)

NEW YORK – The BIG EAST Conference has announced that the Butler at No. 10/9 Connecticut women's basketball game, which was scheduled for Friday, February 4, has been canceled due to winter weather-related travel issues with the Bulldogs. Butler's next schedule game is Sunday at home against Seton Hall at 2 p.m. ET on the BIG EAST Digital Network presented by SoFi, while UConn is set to host No. 7/7 Tennessee Sunday at noon on FOX.

My glass half full argument. I was actually concerned that the Butler game tonight would give UConn one less day to prepare than the LV’s, as TN played last night. Considering that the LV’s lost a stinker in Gainesville and have to travel to Storrs - Advantage Geno.

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.

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.

These two impress the heck out of me. They clearly understand the landscape and are handling it with class and maturity. Most games...Amari looks like she's having her own party on the sidelines. They are very supportive and the consistency tells me it's genuinine.

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

 

[HuskyNan]

Weather looks horrible for Connecticut too

Technical Discussion: Rain changing to freezing rain

Freezing rain and sleet will fill in as the afternoon progresses. Be prepared for travel conditions to deteriorate.

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

and especially Caroline

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.

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?

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!

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.
