It seems they are doing a good job of rotating the speakers (players and coaches). Maybe Shea will be asked how she will run up the score on her husband.

AND SO it begins. The hand of the expectation of greatness has been laid upon her!

So glad he ended up at UCONN!!!

Wait until we get Azzi, Caroline, and Saylor!

Not only is Nika back, but Geno said she looked good.

 

[MilfordHusky]

He also said she's a better basketball player than he thought, and he previously thought she was really good.

Bummer for the girls. But you know why they don't want them to go home. IMO, it would be too easy for one of them to return to campus and test positive. Then.....there we go again. The men's team is already on their second go-round of a suspension of team activities because of the virus:

By MIKE ANTHONY DEC 9, 2020 - The UConn men are through two days of a COVID-19 shutdown and the UConn women have just come out of one. The women are scheduled to open the season Saturday and nobody knows for sure how long the men's team will be off the court.

The women's team is already two weeks behind other teams in the conference. I don't think they can afford another two week lay-off. Better safe than sorry. 2020 has been a hell of a year, and one none of us will soon forget.

Wait a minute, is this the same Anna Makurat a vocal minority has insisted is a bench player! How could that be?

Saw this early this morning. Not in love with his prediction about out of conference contests will not happen as circumstances force BigEast to a conference only model in a "bubble" or similar.

I agree about the schedule, but most things for the next few months truly are "day to day." Fingers crossed!!

Raise your hand if you were wondering as you watched this whether Shea is Geno's successor.
