mo's efficiency at the three makes me sooooooo happy.

She's a really small small forward.

I believe the position is tiny forward.

Banks for 3!

 

[VAMike23]

If Banks hadnt drained that 3, my score multiple would have been spot on!! Darn it

 

[Icebear]

86.7 winning % even I can do the math for that one.

You underestimated them again. Stop that!

20 more wins and it will be an even 87% (assuming they don't lose between now and then).

Outside of Louisville these AAC games are like watching paint dry. Kids are bored to death and can't blame them. Weak teams, No atmosphere on the road and no fans in the stands. Geno's best coaching job will be keeping them interested. Hope there is a way we can leave this conference sooner than later

Wonderful description: paint dry …love it.
Hate that they have to play against such a team, in such an environment.
What can be done?
Other than a najor conference invite, are there any possibilities?
Could the woman's BB program go indie?
Maybe not next season, but the season after.
Wouldn't it be more fun playing the Gonzaga's and St. Mary's of the world

80% shooting in the 2nd half. Yikes!!

Yeah, I didn't realize it was that good until I saw the writeup.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nor did I. I knew we went over 50 points, but I didn't realize we were that efficient. Kaleena who? Just kidding--I want her back yesterday.

Women's BB at UCONN will never go independent. The only teams or schools that play an independent schedule are ones that can command their own TV network deal. Considering that ESPN orchestrated what's happened to UCONN, it's not very likely they're interested in launching the UCONN Network any time soon. That's for Texas, BYU and Notre Lame, and even those schools, with the exception of football in the latter two school's cases, still have to continue playing in conferences for the rest of their athletic teams.

UCONN has to be invited to join a Power 5 conference to stop this from becoming our standard diet of conference opponents for every season into the forseeable future. Over time the rest of the conference might improve, if only to attempt to compete or stay within 20 points of UCONN, but that's about all you're going to see, if that. It did happen in the Big East over time.
