Well, I know I dvr’d this last night, but nothing was saved. Anyone know where I can find a replay?
Game highlights are on YouTube, via ESPN. Full game is also on YouTube, via a source that shall not be mentioned.
 
UCONN vs. St. Francis of Pennsylvania in 2018. UCONN scored 94 points in the first half, and won by 88 points.
A little background for some color: St. Francis (the Red Flash) WBB team was in Div I in the 2017-2018 season and finished 24-10 in the Northeast Conference (NEC). They won the NEC tournament and earned an automatic bid to the 2018 NCAA Div I WBB tournament where they had to face of all teams - UConn - in the first round. This fits the good news/bad news scenario pretty well.
 
Here are a couple of suggestions:

Rejoin the Big East. You still might have to face UConn, but it wouldn’t be until a later NCAA Tournament round. The downside to this is you will have two or three automatic losses each year.

Start stumping for UConn membership in the ACC. Once this happens you wouldn’t have to face them until a later round. Same downside.

Have the Selection Committee give UConn a bye until the championship game.
UConn having the bye to the Championship would cause most records for individual stats be unreachable, especially for NCAA Tourney stats - what fun would that be?!?

Go Huskies!!!

St. Francis ran an ultra run-and-gun offense. So, UCONN said, "Hey, I can do that too." and proceeded to score 140 points.

Thinking about it, I'm surprised that there weren't any members of this board whining that St. Francis outscored UCONN by six points in the second half.

Get your bet in early!
Bettors LOVE the Huskies, so the spread goes higher as the week progresses.
Today it was 26.5 points, I was going to put $50 down on the over, the misses said NO, so I played some slots with it, ended up leaving with $780.00. There's no Moneyline bet for this game, all of the other Sweet Sixteen games have a Moneyline bet.
 
I’ve said this a few times over the past few games: I just love the way Kayleigh motors down the court in transition. Her focused movements, her aggressive stride, it’s really something. It’s like a challenge to opposing teams: “You want to run with us? Fine. Let’s run!”

If she grabs a defensive rebound and she’s got that gleam in her eye, it’s game on.
You got that right!
 
Blanca is going to be the best player in America soon.....Thats my analysis.

Even Lobo was saying this the other night. "Blanca will be the number 1 pick in the WNBA eventually"

This just might be the best and most complete Uconn team I have ever seen... I emphasize the word "team"

I am not even going to refer to Uconn as having a "bench" anymore.. The truth is Geno really has 8 starters.

To be honest, I was hoping that Geno put Azzi in for a minute or two just so she could get a final curtain call.

But as some have said, maybe she said no, or why risk an injury. (Ie: Paige getting hurt needlessly when the game was over)
Except he put Paige back in last year against SDSU. I was there.
 
Very impressive win and even more impressive, the team did not run up the score. That is what I love about Coach Auriemma. That respect for the game and the opponent. For the game, it was great seeing Azzi have the game that she was having. She was in her element. For me, it is the bench. 36 points! 3-6 points from the bench. That is going to be the X factor going forward. Having Blanca, Jana, Kayleigh, and Allie coming off the bench, with that confidence.....put that stank face on because it is a wrap!! Oooowee!!

Blanca requires one additional shot to reach her full potential…a pull-up in the lane.

She has the summer to perfect it…perhaps it’s already there in naiscent form.

Add that to her arsenal and she’ll be completely unstoppable.

Yeah, they don't have a money line on any UCONN tournament games so far. The line would be prohibitive!
Their 26.5 point spread is by far the largest number out of all the Sweet Sixteen games
UCLA is -18.5 & South Carolina is -16.5. But they also have money lines: UCLA (-4000) & SC (-3000).
Congrats on your slot success!!

Draft Kings has NC as a +5000, while UConn is a -100000.
 
It's loyalty and the desire to not hit a 100. Blanca and Serah are as good as they are getting this season.
That isn't even close to true. Players literally get better with every game they play and every practice. Hell, they get better with every possession. It is all about reps and conditioning.
 
I think it will be difficult to secure Uche Izoje's services for four years. Izoje was born in 2004, the same year as Serah Williams, which means she isn't a true freshman. Junior players like Madison Booker and Hannah Hidalgo were born in 2005, and even Clara Strack is 13 months younger than her—she was born on November 27, 2005. If she wanted to, Izoje could forfeit her remaining NCAA eligibility and enter this year’s WNBA draft.

I think, with the new WNBA CBA, that Izoje leaves Syracuse after this year, or maybe one more.
