Not really they aren't defending all that well. They've already given up more than the whole first half.

I'll take some less intensity on D for more focus on O based on how the first half went.
 
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

They've played better D the last few minutes.
 
Anyone else see a sense of urgency from the seniors? They are playing very determined. They have 48 points on 20 FGAs. Insane!

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

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

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.
