Next Years out of conference schedule (merged)

Sorry to my Huskie friends for ripping the Band-aid off those wounds....not my intention. If it makes you feel any better, UCLA got revenge for you on a late game screen call in our 2 point loss to them last month. This time an apparent illegal screen by Dugalic tripped Lucy Olsen with 3.8 seconds remaining in a tie game, who then fell into a UCLA teammate leading to a "blocking foul" and 2 FT's for the Bruins. FT's good; game over and 67-65 loss. We're over it but disappointing nonetheless. Let me whine so I feel better: rules state feet must be no wider than shoulder width on a screen; apparently Dugalic's shoulders are 5 feet wide:

Thanks for listening. Good luck in March Madness; lots of respect in Iowa for UConn.

It’s not you. It’s us. The illegal screen call on Aaliyah will be a source of debate on the Boneyard ad nauseam until all of us are pushing up daisies…

Got a notice in my email this morning that the presale for the Shark Beauty Women's Championship Classic at Barclays starts today at Ticketmaster. Early access code is WCCBK if anyone is interested. Good seats are available and the prices aren't astronomical since the resale market hasn't come into play yet. (To get down to brass tacks, I got two seats on the aisle in row 14 of the center section of the lower bowl for $228; no, not cheap, but that will be my birthday weekend, so happy birthday to me. )

Here's the link to more (limited) info about the event. Games start at 7. If I were a betting woman, I'd say UConn–Iowa will be the later game, but the site doesn't confirm that.

I got a notice today from UConn that went to all season ticket holders advising them to hold off, they have reserved a block of tickets that will be made available to season ticket holders in a couple of months at a 10% discount.

Hopefully enough, hopefully well-placed.

So if you are a season ticket holder, take that into consideration.

Yup, I got that email too...after I had already bought my tickets. Frustrating that the email from UConn athletics didn't give any sense of where their block of tickets is. Oh well, I'll check out where the UConn block is when they're made available in a couple of months. If they're more appealing, I can always buy a new pair and resell the ones I bought in the presale (at the price I paid for them; I refuse to be party to the extortionate resale market).

A "picture" (or video) is worth 10,000 words. I can't imagine being "over it".
I'm a big Lucy fan. "I LOVE LUCY" (especially when she was not playing UCONN!)
