      for context, even at times when I know how to say a name, I question it, it is just part of being flawed as a person. It's meant with Zero disrespect. When the team does their media availability guide for 24-25, I'm going to download it so I can see it phonically. Appreciate the comment, truly do.

    Thanks for your effort. A bit of criticism, if you're going to do the Uconn Women, please learn how to pronounce their names.

    We still need at least one more big. If Jana goes out for any reason, long term or short, our tallest player is Ice at 6'3". Granted we have a lot of players over 6 feet, and the game is changing, etc. but when players get tired at crunch time, tall players don't get shorter. It's been ages since we've seen UConn really dominate down low.

    • @JBeck33

      @LockedOnUConn my response would be that it's very hard to make the final four. I think people lose sight of that sometimes. Not only do you need great players and great coaching. But you usually need a decent amount of luck as well. Now they didn't need luck on the court the past two years because they were so much better than everybody else. But they were definitely lucky when it comes to their health.

    Let's hope Ice starts. It's important for rookies to work their way in, get the feel of the standard, avoid early injuries, etc., No matter how good they are. Also, we are going to need Ice this year. Great commentary by both. UConn is still the best - just look at them all in the W. So great the way Geno has come through the massive changes in women's basketball to still be a great coach. How good would it be for him, Paige and Aaai to win it this season? GO Huskies!!!!!

    If UConn were to join the ACC would it help stabilize that conference and lift it up? Many of UConn's long time rivals from the old Big East and across the country are there already, so it has a "home" feel and it would be a sensible place for team travel as well.
