Where are you getting that from? Not only regular season games, but they broadcast every game in the ncaa tournament. I know UConn’s games are off sny, but I haven’t heard of this.
ESPN currently has the media rights to WBB under an 8-yr contract that runs through 2031-32.
Yes. But there were no teams in the Big Dance that we played who were as quick as us either. That applies most definitely to UCLA and I also believe to SC, which could not match UConn’s quickness and execution when the Huskies went small with Sarah at the 5.
I saw that story. It seems to me that Dawn has talked down such rumors in the past. She also seems happy in Columbia and has made some early noises about retirement. I would be shocked if Dawn ends up as the HC of the Knicks.Dawn’s isn’t afraid to play Geno, she’s shown that especially in the early days of her time at South Carolina. Perhaps the reason the series was canceled is because they’ll have a new coach

I don't disagree with you. I think both sides are at a disadvantage with the way conferences are aligned right now. The slow it down, isolation, pound it down low aren't ready for healthy well oiled motion offense pesky defense UConn machine come March. They can get us possibly early in the season while things are coming together or if there are major injuries but not once the machine has been fine tuned.
After watching a number of the p4 conference tournament “wrestling matches” vs UConn’s “fine tuned” machine that was a “beautiful symphony of movement” during the BE tournament, I was a bit dumbfounded by all the so-called pundits who picked someone other than UConn to win the Big Dance, particularly after the beat down the Huskies put on the Gamecocks in Columbia.
Shea fully knows what to expect in that game. She'll take him up on it when it makes sense for her program.
This is what I love best about UConn women's basketball. When it's clicking, it is, literally, beautiful to watch. Five individuals coming together to act as one. It is amazing, and yes beautiful, to watch regardless of the score.
This. Staley is one of the best coaches in women's basketball and innately a fierce competitor.
So would I especially after seeing the Knicks let go of a coach who got them to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time in 25 years.
@Dove, I like you, am not shocked, but disappointed that this series has ended. However, some time after the February 16th beat down by UConn at the CLA, I thought that might occur. And then to top it off, the Huskies showed up in the National Championship game, and executed their crafted skills against the Gamecocks. Again.
That too. It's a weird trend that makes no sense.
I actually started rooting for the other teams to get back in the game, for an actual exciting finish, of course with UConn prevailing. As I've gotten so very old, I've become a rather strange sports fan that way. I have lived and died with the Dodgers since 1947, and, obviously, felt much animosity towards those Bronx Bombers. Yet as the Dodgers were taking them apart last fall, I found myself rooting for the Yankees to extend the series.
And how many NBA women head coaches have their been? Only one who came close was Becky Hammon, who served as an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs from 2014 to 2022.Dawn’s isn’t afraid to play Geno, she’s shown that especially in the early days of her time at South Carolina.

Not me! I loved every victorious second - especially the Game 5 collapse! It is small solace for an eight/nine year olds bitter disappointment in '52 and '53.
So answer me this. Did you find UConn’s run through the Big Dance this season where they effectively gob-smacked a number of the “top teams in the nation” equally unenjoyable?
Many years ago my old boss asked what I liked about watching the UConn women. I said something like it was like watching a well-choreographed ballet. He said hmm, his lifelong best friend, who lives in Mystic said exactly the same thing.
I did enjoy how well they played, especiallyAzzi. Unlike the Big East, there was at least the possibility that these quality teams would rally. Didn't happen. I honestly was disappointed that they weren't tighter games. Answer me this: would you really rather watch UConn blow away someone than watch them prevail as the game comes down to the end? There's little doubt in my mind that many here would rather stick out their chests, as they proclaim UConn's dominance in a blow-out. I've followed them for 30 years, and had plenty of those opportunities over all those years. I don't need more of that. Give me good competitive games that go down to the wire.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, in the deep recesses of my memory, I seem to recall the ACC raiding (& greatly weakening) the Big East decades ago (I think it was after Dave Gavitt's tenure as men's commissioner). At the time, I regarded it as a hostile act against the Big East, but I don't know how this contributed to the downslide of the conference on the women's side.
