Stanford now up by 14. Kentucky still trails. But Matthew Mitchell's hair is perfect, per Warren Zevon.

Sources have told the Courant that it was @vandywbb that filed the protest that resulted in NCAA sanction of #UConnwomen

Thanks, I hadn't seen that.

Sadie Edwards is gonna be good.

She just seems totally lost out there to me. When I see her on the floor, I always wonder how she could gave been a McD All-American in high school.

Prelim. team stats.

We out-shot them by about 25 pct. pts.

We won the battle of assists, TOs, and blocks. Vandy had more boards.

I'd like to personally thank Coach Bascomb for providing the pep talk for tonight's game...you are an inspiration...

Not me. She has a great first step. She is just hestitant right now She just needs to get more playing time

That may be it, but she certainly seems confused when she is out there. I also think playing with the lineup when she usually get inserted in does not really help because it is usually chaotic.

CD said Sadie plays good defense, rebounds but doesn't know the offense yet.

That's not surprising for a frosh. I think MoJett struggled with it her first year. Keep working, Sadie!

Finally got to see the game - I thought that tonight they looked as though they were all on the same page - the team gelled and we were able to see some classic UConn Basketball.
If Geno thinks that he has gotten his starting line up in place, I tend to agree with him. Stokes showed some great stuff tonight, her offensive game was on and she had a block party - 7 or 8 blocks, depending upon who you listen to on the subject. Perhaps starting is not for her. We shall see. Balanced scoring, rampant theft and great ball movement were seen throughout the game. I was very pleased. true, there are always things to work on, but should you ever think that you have it perfectly and can stop working, then you have taken the first step to stagnation and possible failure.

I say work your butts off.

Congratulations Huskies! Well done!
