So, when will Paige assisted Azzi break Lou's 10/10 from 3? Freshman year? Game 1?
So your point is what ? I find it amusing that when an upstart program starts to have some success, their fans come out of the woodwork to try and diminish what UConn has been able to accomplish. Your Gamecocks have won how many titles ? Your team can't be that good when the "mid-major "continually beats them. Oh and going to Stanford to play, UConn has been there and done that multiple times and I'm sure they will again.
Hoping that this newest poster on the BY issued his missive with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek and simply left out the emogee
If not, I strongly suggest that none of us provide any oxygen to him by replying to his otherwise silly posts.
Where’s the thumbs down button?
If you hover over the blue "like" button (lower right of the comment box) you will see several variations of "like" to choose from which includes a dislike.
I believe this clown is a Stanford fan.
I agree with you but I'm still not sure of what will happen when the shots are not falling and the rims seem a little tight there are always games like these during the season and my question is who will step and be that guard or wing to attack the rim and draw fouls or put the other teams bigs in foul trouble most teams are taught to close out and contest when playing teams who shoot well from the outside which we will but who will be that guard or wing who can finish thru contact and make the old fashion 3 point play I wanna say CW or EW but they have not shown that so far and PB is too small and loves to pass when she gets in the lane ,will Geno put that pressure on a freshman AZ..but I agree with your overall assessment but I'm weary of that knockdown down gut check game and who will step and more importantly will it be when it's all on the line NCAA championship game?
I pretty much agree with your observation.
You need to remember, @Jingo is not a UCONN fan. He/she is a Griffin and/or Ossining fan. So unless Griffin or some other player from Ossining has a great game/season/career, Jingo is not gonna be happy. He/she will continue to talk up Griffin, complain about her playing time, and take shots at any other UCONN player whom he/she feels threatens Griffin's playing time. Well, until Griffin graduates, then he/she will disappear from the BY. We get these "player fans" every once in awhile. Some learn to like UCONN, but some never get past "their player".
Your bias for bigs as well as your complete lack of BB knowledge is showing again. There is no way Azzi was the 6th best guard on that team. What are you smoking and where can the rest of us get some? Azzi shot 52% from deep and defended the other team's best guard. Can we safely assume that Azzi is to be the new target of your vitriol now that Christyn Williams is about to graduate?
OD, you and Eric make some very salient, real and objective points in your narratives. The thing UConn can’t do is go into the season so confident that they don’t believe they can be beat. While I believe that this is by far the deepest and most talented team Geno has had since the end of the Stewart era,
In a word………..execution!!!
Hold down the thumb up, a dialogue box with the thumb down should open.
Well said, one point and I think a huge point... Did Azzi do her part in the games? I think she did, do we know what the coach asked her to do, I think not. Azzi played 100% team ball, she was solid as always. Jump forward to the next 4 years, do we need Azzi to grab 4-6 rebounds a game for us to win? God help us if we do. I want and hope for the Azzi to be the player she has been for most of her career, a leader, a winner, a team player. I think it's OK for us to analyze her games and discuss them, for some to pick nits before her first game as a Husky, I just don't get it. And I am not referring to you oldhuskie you articulated your disappointment and I get that, I feel that most of us can't wait for the season to get here where we can discuss what happens on the court in games that matter. I don't think Azzi will disappoint.
Maybe too many Muehl to Bueckers to Edwards layups?What the heck are you talking about?
Thank you for such a thorough, realistic, and well-constructed post. I understand this is a UConn board, but some of the other users here write their posts like “Yes SC added three of the top four freshman and the ACC FOY/DPOY, but Nika Muhl’s and Aliyah Edwards’s sophomore leaps give us the advantage.”
I agree that UConn has a lot of offensive strength, but I also agree with you that defense will be the key that unlocks the national championship.
It was Tara that ended the series NOT Geno, so if you want to talk about anyone not having the GUTS to play please direct it to the coach in Palo Alto.
Can’t believe it took so long for a b yarder to say this I just read it and was reading them all before I commented
I hate it when people accuse Geno of dodging other teams. I've seen Dukies, Vols, Terps, and others state it's UConn and it's never been UConn. Both Duke and Maryland ended the series because of their coaches were getting tired of geting whooped every time they played. Pat ended the series because she hated that Geno got Maya and not her. While there have been others these three stood out. Now the Vols have renewed the series and I believe that Maryland has a home and home starting next year. I hope that Kara changes the Blue Devils opinion of playing UConn.
As a 19 year old trash talker you must have missed the 11 NCs by UConn. Bye bye Precious.
Jingo is a Christ the King fan - Chamique, Sue Bird and Tina Charles, eh? Both of HIS daughters played for Christ the King - Chelsea pictured - and both were starters and 1st-team All-City in New York City. Jingo coached for the Liberty Belles AAU club, for which Chamique, Sue & Tina played. Jingo coached against Brion Giorgis and considers him a gr8 coach. Jingo saw Aubrey play in the NY State High School tournament and considers her to be the 'best athlete' on the UConn women's team. Aubrey played phenomenal in the NY State tourney and is ready to 'break out'.
Who says that the series has ended? This is not a Pat-Geno situation. I am not aware of any hostility or nefarious accusations being made by either UConn or Stanford against each other, unless you want to go back to the 1996 Olympics.
Don’t forget Tara cancelled the last scheduled game to avoid getting whooped by the Stewart led Huskies
my guess it won't be any time soon esp after the Nneka situation
Are you sure about Maryland? I thought the series was renewed but it was postponed due scheduling?
