Is Paige in it?

See one of the pictures in post #50 below.

the alumni are not allowed to attend games anymore with this group. They play horribly when the alumni come to a game, i.e. today and ND last year

Is Paige in it?

I wasn’t there when the picture was taken but she might be in the back row next to Paige Sauer. Megan Culmo is easy to spot in her white blouse. Directly behind Megan is a player with short brown hair and glasses who I think is Missy Rose. Directly behind Missy is blonde who could be Paige standing next to Sauer. The big question is who is behind Qadence’s Pom-Pom? I thought it might be some woman I saw wearing a scarf trying to photo bomb the picture.

agreed

Total Team Defense was impressive;
45 Rebounds
12 Steals
3 Blocks
18 Forced Turnovers
Only committed 4 Fouls

Now that the record and all of the fanfare is in the past, this team will be able to relax a bit. Having that behind them, no longer having the pressure to impress while the alumni are in the building, just being able to play free and easy, I think the offense will flourish! It is almost like the hard part is now over; at least for the time being. I would not want any part of the Huskies in the Bahama Tournament - the Big Dawg’s Gonna Eat!

"Horribly"? A 44 point win doesn't do it for you? The shooting started poorly but picked up. 45% for the game and 32% from 3. Only 4 fouls and beat FDU in every quarter. 12 steals and only 6 TO. I don't see the problem. To me the only person who would say they didn't have a good game was Jana.

Swipe..

That Azzi . . . what a happy smile.

One thing that is hard to believe about all this is that the 1995 championship is (basically) 30 years ago, and that Lobo is now over 50.

You are correct!!! There is now a photo on the UConn athletics site that shows Paige sitting front and center. Believe that it also appears on X.

When UConn hit the scene I was a Summitt fan like most in the south. It was clear the Huskies were outstanding but I wasn’t a fan of the Geno personality.

However, I had to and will still give credit where it’s due. By 2003 it was clear who had the better program and who was getting great players. Geno changed the sport for the better.

Geno has softened with age and it’s clear the family of players love him. What he and CD have done for the game and the university is remarkable. Congratulations to them both.

 

[HuskyNan]

Geno and Renee still have that special friendship.

Tara congrats Geno

Did anyone see the Nika video? Streaming SNY here in FL, they cut away from commercial breaks, so I heard about it, but no details.

The moment where Geno let those boys with his name painted on their stomachs onto the court for a high five; I was cracking up.

 

[yhun89]

Good defense tonight. I suspect Jana would want this one back. But I liked what I saw.

I suspect Geno will be glad to get the record over with. I am glad to see all the former players come back to support the program.

Next up Oregon State. I hope UConn spends their time preparing for Ole Miss though. Very dangerous team.

Ole Miss is our biggest test I would say. Jana has to make those layups. Ash needs to find more space for a midrange.

The good thing with them is they are an average team offensively. So tight defense should render them unable to score, but their defense might render us unable to score. It’ll be like the S16 Duke game, everyone couldn’t make a shot to save their lives, but defense was tight on both ends.


And of course, we have Paige Bueckers too.
