It seems that a number of the UConn targets have lost in their state tourneys.

Connecticut's CIAC has now cancelled its remaining girls basketball playoffs. But Greenwich High School's team made the semi-final game in LL behind 5'7" freshman guard Mackenzie Nelson. Her team finished the regular season with six losses. But then knocked off the state's #2-ranked team (Norwich Free Academy), and followed up that game with a win against the #7-ranked team, Trumbull, in which Nelson scored 23 of her team's 41 points.

Nelson was named to the first team all FCIAC team as a freshman. Might even make 1st team All State. It will be interesting to see whether the national rating services take notice....or UConn. Yes, we're not a great basketball state, in no small part because we're a small state.

We'll see.....

Have you noticed whether or not Rebecca's daughter, Siobhan, is playing for Northwest Catholic this year? I haven't seen her listed or mentioned anywhere on this year's roster or news coverage of the team...

We can only hope! She is Undeclared, but hasn't posted a UConn consideration. I don't think she is a lock, but the odds could be in our favor.

Don't see a "Siobhan" listed on the NW Catholic roster on the CIAC website for Class MM:

Paige Bueckers: 7 points (3-4 FG), 7 assists

Hopkins easily wins game one of the state tournament 85-55.

Geno watched Amari Deberry's state playoff win tonight. DeBerry scored 19 points.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm hoping that at least the Maryland (Saylor), New York (Amari), and Minnesota (Paige) tourneys are allowed to be completed and everyone stays safe.

Geno watched Amari Deberry's state playoff win tonight. DeBerry scored 19 points.

19 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals

Sat for 8 minutes late with foul trouble.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

It didn’t take long for DeBerry to give her future coach a sampling of things to come. She scored five points in the first 2 minutes, 31 seconds – including a no-doubt-about-it 3-pointer. She followed that by blocking a shot, and was later rewarded with an assist when she passed out of a double team to an open player who then scored.

“It’s always nice to have them come out and support,” DeBerry said of Auriemma and the UConn family. “I’m very grateful for everything.”

With Geno watching, Amari DeBerry and Billies hold off Hamburg to reach Far West Regional

DeBerry followed up Sunday’s dominant 34-point performance with a 19-point, 10-rebound, five-assists and five-steals showing against a Bulldogs team playing in its first overall final since

Just the one DeBerry highlight at the beginning:

 

[Jibariqua]

I'm hoping that at least the Maryland (Saylor), New York (Amari), and Minnesota (Paige) tourneys are allowed to be competed and everyone stays safe.

Maryland decided last night to play the tournament in “closed gyms”. Immediate family, staff, and each school can name 21 people that can attend.

Thanks! I don’t think I’m that close to Saylor.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Thanks! I don’t think I’m that close to Saylor.

Yes, I believe that you are much closer to Azzi!

 

[Zanzman]

Yes, I believe that you are much closer to Azzi!

But does Azzi know this?

 

[j66kicker]

Thanks! I don’t think I’m that close to Saylor.

Oh, I heard you were in her five!
