On the right side of the freshman wall CW can help UConn he says. Can't pay for insight like that can you.

Mike Anthony: If Christyn Williams can stay on the right side of the freshman wall, she can improve UConn’s season for the better - Hartford Courant

"There it was Monday night in the way Christyn Williams carried herself, a substantial answer to questions about team potential and player capability that swirl in mid-February.

There it was in the freshman’s line on the box score, too: 19 points on 7-for-8 shooting 38-plus minutes in No. 4 UConn’s 97-79 victory over No. 11 South Carolina at the XL Center.

This was probably the final team test of the regular season.

The test for Williams remains, though. She will have to ride this latest breakthrough performance toward a prolonged stretch of consistent play that can give UConn the look and feel of a well-rounded team able to embrace and act on typical Final Four expectations."

That's quality commentary right there.

Aren't the subscribers to the Courant paying for this advice?

Now, now, fellas. Not everyone is knowledgeable about basketball. There are many fans who do need this stuff spelled out for them. They're also hungry for information about the team. Not everyone reads the Boneyard.

There seems to be a surfeit of snark on the board these days. Can't we live and let live?

"Surfeit of snark." I love it!

I saw the title and thought this thread was about the rumored Van Halen reunion tour. Lol.

If I had wheels, I'd be a bus.

We are spoiled and it has been very traumatic on a lot of us losing 2 games. All this pent up angst must be released some how. But I'd prefer to do it with music and laughter myself.

Mike does good work. His column after the Louisville loss was excellent. Give him a break.

Better - everyone snarking will be Clockwork Orange Conditioned (straight jacket, strapped and made to listen to this until he or she is broken.

I was just trying to be funny about what was a very basic, prosaic piece, which is a rarity for Mike.

Now, this is what I wanna her her current coach tell Anna about Geno.

Sorta like saying that if the sun does come up in a few hours, tomorrow will happen.

I'm happy to see that ANYONE is reporting on women's basketball. It seems we keep hearing of another paid periodical pundit biting the dust as the printed paper publishing business goes the way of the wainwright and the bowling alley pinsetter.

Nan, you are spot on. More info would help increase the fan base. While I typically look at the Boneyard every 1-2 days, in the 1980's was trying to figure out who this Geno guy was and why UConn even focused on women's basketball. Seems silly now but there is another generation (or 2) that is getting hooked on UConn basketball and just needs info to get started.

Well-not in this "ever-changing world." Not if it includes having to "Give in and cry." Because "If you have a job to do you better do it well."
