    "He wants to own his players and take full credit for the player that they go on to be in the pros. unless they don't pan out,... then he wants to be able to strip their scholarship or recruit over their position. No loyalty to a recruit." Ridiculous. Shows you just how little you know about...

    Women’s BB RPI

    Ha! One is too many! However, there will definitely be more than one this year. I'm thinking 4 or 5. To this point in the season, this team is far from vintage UConn.

    and they have UConn with an extra loss.

    Games of interest - January 9

    That's true, but last night the better team did exactly that. It's frustrating because the score really wasn't indicative of the game. With 5:42 left in the game, it was a 1 point game! And then, inexplicably, UConn allowed Baylor a 15-0 run to finish the game. Complete collapse. If I was to...

    "#6 Baylor 74 #1 Connecticut 58 – Kind of shocking, particularly the margin" Not really shocking to any UConn fan that has a sense of reality. While I'm a bit shocked it ended up being a 16 point margin (after all, it was only a 3 point game after 3 quarters), I'm not shocked we lost. UConn's...

    "#1 Connecticut 83 Wichita State 55 – Shockers ceremonial victim for AAC opener" Minor correction.... this wasn't UCONN's AAC opener. They played Temple on November 17th. Highly unusual to have a conference game that early.

    Games of Interest - December 18

    ea_1, Why are you making this out to be about railing on certain female coaches? It has nothing to do with that. The Nykesia Sales thing was for a UConn scoring record, not an NCAA record. It meant nothing to anyone but UConn..... and no, no other Baylor starters played anywhere near 33 minutes...

    Games of Interest - December 18

    It's not even close to the Nykeshia Sales situation (which, by the way, have very mixed emotions about). I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but it was a pre-arranged decision between Geno and Harry Perretta, the Villanova coach (who happen to be good friends). Sales staged record...

    #7 Baylor 111 Arkansas State 43 – Bears now 7-0 at home Juicy Landrum sets the NCAA record with 14 made 3-pointers, and Kim Mulkey shows her true colors by allowing her to do it. She played 33 minutes and jacked up 23 3-pointers in a game they won by 68 points.Clearly, Mulkey left her in the...

    UConn Basketball to Return to Big East?

    I have to respectfully disagree, BeK. Looking at 2018-19 conference RPI for the men, Big East is # 5, American is #6. On the men's side, the American has some very decent teams. Personally, I think it's basically a wash for the men. The big benefit, as I see it, is recruiting. Hurley should do...

    UConn goes down.

    LOL! UConn loses 1 regular season game since November 2014 and it’s the start of their demise. Now you sound like one of the doom and gloom posters on the boneyard! I have some comments about the Baylor game...... UConn shot 29%, lowest in a game in 20, yes 20, seasons. You think that’ll happen...

    UConn goes down.

    How is that being ungracious? He knew going into the game we were going to get killed in the paint. Geno was directing his sarcasm at the press for stating the obvious. He knew Baylor's plan was to continually get the ball inside. and he also knew there wasn't much UConn could do to stop it. He...

    Lexi Gordon to transfer from Uconn

    KTF, I believe she'll end up in the state of Texas. My understanding is that both her parents went to TCU.

    UConn/ Notre Dame

    Is the "How's your recruiting going" comment supposed to sting? So we lost a couple of top recruits. That doesn't mean the sky is falling. Contrary to popular belief, UConn doesn't ALWAYS get the top recruits. Next year, we will still have two #1 recruits in Megan Walker and Christyn Williams...
