Let’s hope UConn runs into OK in the Big Dance. I can only imagine what Geno will say about Aaliyah Chavez……..Tackling Fuel?

Ugh, that’ll be one of those classic UConn shutdowns. Azzi again? She doesn’t really play point. I see 3-20 in her future

This is just one little drop in in the bucket of why he's the best ever.

Based on Jazzy's YTD performance, Geno is likley right. By year end, he may not feel the same.

Has anyone mentioned that Blanca's hometown of Milagro translates as "miracle" in Spanish? Sometimes when I watch what she can do, I feel she has some special sauce. She is only scratching the surface of her ability. Is she a miracle? Pending.

I thought that was a statement Geno wanted Blanca to read. Well, a national television audience and a sold-out basketball venue gathered to watch the top freshman in the country play. They saw her but, to their surprise, she was not on the USC team. She played for UConn. Give her the playing time Jazzy gets (which she cannot get at UConn) people would see just how much better Blanca is, and Jazzy is very good.

Well, when will Sienna Betts make her long awaited appearance for UCLA? That could be a direct matchup we could watch as @FanSince17 notes, if we play OK Azzi may have Chavez and/or Verhulst with KK taking the other. Either way, they will be shut down.

Not only do I agree with that, but I'm thrilled she's starting to get the national attention she deserves. In every post game thread chat, when I talk about Blanca, I say that IMHO she's one of the top 5 freshmen in the nation. Who knows what the conversation would be if she were a starter and playing 30+ minutes per game like Chavez (30.5) and Davidson (32.7)?

And our Blanca is just getting rolling too.....that gives me a wicked sweet feeling for the future. 😁😁

I remember reading that some "experts" thought that the younger Betts was a bit overrated coming out of high school.........I think big sis is.........time will tell....

I suspect the younger Betts could develop even better than her sister. Though Cori may not be the coach to make this happen. After 2+ seasons at UCLA Lauren is still less developed than Brink was as a sophomore at Stanford. The transfer got her a lot more playing time but the cost of that may be that she is still a quite limited player — excellent at what she does in the paint and a good passer out to the perimeter. But there is very little else to her game at present. I have a feeling Sienna will do better what with her greater foot speed and the beginnings of a midrange game.
