Three basketball mavens for the price of one! Thanks so much, DD, David, and Phil.
A young and incredibly talented team. And a National Championship is a good possibility. Love it!
Seton Hall may not be an existential threat, but that the Hall has two highly productive guards will be a good challenge for UConn. And that UConn is just coming off an exhausting win and needs to play right away again is another good challenge, because that's what the NCAA tournament will look like.

I think the players are sick and tired of hearing about Miss Park-Lane lighting them up. I'm betting they'll be pretty motivated to give her a bit more trouble this meeting. Meanwhile, the single last person on the entire Earth Geno is willing to let go off and beat his team is facing the huskies for the first time. Add in the fact that this class is all that AEH's class was supposed to be, only much - much better, which may impact the proverbial sphincter Plus look at how far this team has come since back then ... defensively ... Paige Bueckers-ly ... and in bench-depth. I think we'll see Mir getting some good minutes dogging AEH. Aubrey at PF, with Liv and Aaliyah sharing time at C. Nika, Evina, Paige, Christyn can spread out the minutes and neither LPL nor AEH can guard any of them. Mir is fresh Aubrey never looks tired If she's up to it, E played fewer minutes last night Split minutes across several other key players Besides ... they're all young, right? |

And if there's a good lead, maybe we'll see more of Saylor. That'd be fun! But I don't think Geno holds personal animus toward AEH. He'll do his best to shut her down, but only because she's one of their best scorers. |

Not necessarily animus, but he certainly doesn't want to hear about how she's hitting all of her threes and his group not named Paige isn't |

Great as always, thanks. Listing the stats showing how UCONN underperformed compared to season norms while still winning the game is mind boggling. Against a bigger, stronger, faster, more experienced opponent. Geno is THE Wizard and the frosh are sorceresses. Got a better explanation? I watched it live, I watched the replay, I watched the highlights umpteen times. It's gotta be a dream. As for SH I'm glad they are having a good season, it helps the whole league. Not only did they beat Marquette, they absolutely pounded a few other BE teams. As for the game tonight, will UCONN come out with SC hangover syndrome or do they come out and try to tear SH's heart out? My guess is that they tear them apart. Maturity is not an issue with the pups.

Heh, that thought occurred to me. May I not wake up if it's true. |

And what was with Dawn's outfit...? I know she was trying to pay tribute to Coach Chaney, but she looked like someone from the Men In Black movies...
