How many days? The kid with the perfect ball rotation will tell us.

 

[UConnCat]

Oh why not. Let's watch this shot one more time.

 

[MilfordHusky]

How many days, Azura?

 

[bags27]

I know, I know...D, right? But for me, it's Maya as GOAT. So, maybe co-GOATs?

Maya is chasing Sue's USA Basketball gold medal record. But she has 7'1" coming up behind her, so she needs to push the record out quite far.

How many days? The kid with the perfect ball rotation will tell us.

She looks like KML ...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Coats?

The acapella group? Those guys are great!

 

[TitleTown]

She looks like KML ...

That's because it is KML.

AB agrees.

Jen's rim-to-rim breakaway in the 95 NC game may be my own single favorite UConn moment (and there are so incredibly many to choose from). It was all heart and grit. No one on the court that day was going to stop her.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nicole knows too.

I am super excited about watching UCONN play this year. I may be a Baylor fun but watching the precision of UCONN play is a thing of beauty. I remember the first time I got to watch the USA women’s Dream Team and couldn’t believe what I was watching. UCONN WCBB is not on that level but they don’t seem to be that far behind.

Here’s wishing you a safe and successful season. Should be one heck of a ride.

Why wait for a tweet? (your turn David)

Tierney Lawlor. #20.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I was expecting NeNe, but I love featuring T! She'll be a coach someday. And a good one.

 

[VAMike23]

Love Tierney but also surprised they didn't lead off with...

Da20One !!

 

[meyers7]

Now we gotta wait til 15. Stupid NCAA basketball numbering scheme. It's not like the refs don't come over and say the number anyway.

Amy Duran. #22

OK, who is that?

 

[CBus13]

OK, who is that?

"Amy Duran? Some snotty private school kid." - Geno Auriemma.

She arrived during the 1995 season and Uconn was 101-8 during her first three seasons. She was a senior when Sue Bird was a freshmen. Sound player not flashy.
