Call me a believer! I was not nearly as optimistic about UConn this season as many of the BY because I felt the PG position was questionable. N. Mull has answered the call, she is the Point Guard and as of today I feel UConn is the best team in the country!

And you’re now our favorite non-UConn fan ;)

I know this is not the right thread and I’m not trying to hijack it, but Stanford is up by 10 after the first quarter. Boston is on the bench with two fouls.

A 22 point win over a top 10 team is very very impressive. All of our questions have been answered.

It's the right thread. UCONN might jump over the loser into the #2 spot.
 
Impressed by the way they all stepped up to the challenge. Last year we didn't adjust as well when we lost a player to injury. Still, can't wait for Dorka to get back. The more pieces we have, the greater the margin of error in any game. What happens if Lou's shot doesn't come around in the second half? What happens when we play a team that concentrates on stopping Azzi? Just like having more flexibility.
 
Kudos to whatever UConn coach called for doubles on NC St's bigs. UConn was exceptionally quick to the ball - even though there was normally a NC Stshooter open, rarely did they get a pass. At times it was scary watching NC St's bigs doing the layup drill, but Huskies made their defense work, and work well.

Epic beatdown. So proud of the team.

Azzi - NPOY
Nika - 15 assists!!
Aubrey and Lou - outstanding

Aside from some "production" from Ayanna, the bench was a no-show. Amari - sadly, the latest Heather Buck. Don't expect to see her at all except for garbage time.

Prayers for CD and kudos to the 5 starters. Sensational. Oh, and no let up in the 4th quarter. Did not give any of the lead back like we did vs. Texas.

As much as I would like to see Nika average 6-8 PPG I will take her grittiness on defense and leading the offense. REALLY, it took an offensive rebound for her to dish out her 15th assist..

Azzi Fudd is Azzi Fudd. No other comparison.

I would pay good money to Watch Aubrey just play defense. Well worth the price of admission.

Aaliyah Edwards is playing the way we all know she can.

After being quiet in the first Lou lit it up in the second half.

Caroline needs to get back to playing shape ASAP

Honk if your rooting for Stanford!

I stated that I didn’t think we had the talent and strength to win this one.
As promised I’m quite pleased to eat my words without salt.
What a great win for our Huskies.
Shout out to CD
Hope she’s ok

Ditto re: CD
Why are you making such a prediction?
One factor basketball fans always discount is that players get better. Players and coaches recognize it. Roles change, players actually work on their games, chemistry changes, players hungrier, less set in their ways, cultural changes. Funny how sometimes teams actually improve after losing a ton of seniors.
UConn case in point.
Another point, even us boneyarders forget is that Geno and the staff get really good players.
Anxious for an Amari siting

I am a big Dorka fan,but you better hurry back soon, don't wantcha to get Wally Pipped. Your replacement looked pretty darn good. :)

A strong case could be made for Aubrey to start even when Dorka comes back, and not as a replacement for Dorka. I love so many aspects of Aubrey's game. She gets out on the break, she defends well, she's efficient offensively. I think we are a stronger team with her in the lineup. Hopefully Caroline will get back to normal soon also. I think Caroline just needs some PT.

Honk... Honk! and more Honks!!
 
Great team win today.
I said it before and will say it again—the maturity and poise of this team is something so far.
So shaken after CD went down, no Dorka, stayed focused.
How impressive was Lou’s second half after she couldn’t hit the ocean with a beach ball in the first.
That was something to see! And bodes well for this team’s future success.
