Sorry, not sorry.........LOL

Westbrook doesn't appear to be the shooting problem in the 4th. She's 2-4 in the quarter.

Ducharme is just not primetime ready for this road game, and Williams didn't step up. No idea what's up with Edwards and Juhasz being nowhere to be found.

UConn will not find it getting easier. Louisville's defense is just as ruthless. They're lucky that UCLA is the walking wounded as well.

I think EW was the problem. If she can’t step up as a 5th year senior and lead this young team, then who? She had 0 assists and only took four shots and the two she made were when the game was decided. She didn’t create shots and mostly stood in the corner and passed around the perimeter.

I kn Lobo will be crying telling the whole world that Uconn stars are injured...It's not just Uconn, most teams missing their stars. Geno just can't coach without stars

UK goes down to DePaul 94-85

Westbrick made a couple of garbage shots when the game was decided. The score would've been closer to a 20 point win if GT hadn't missed half of their free throws.

Wow! 5 points in 4th. Geno will be ugly in the press conference. Great defense by GT. Think they were playing for Coach B a bit.
Wonder if Derth will show up with excuses.

It is amazing how UCONN, with all their all americans, has struggled so much this year on offense. Now with Paige out of the lineup, they are probably going to look like we did against USF every game. That should be fun to watch Geno squirm.
Depaul beat UK by 4 points. I love Kyra's personality and as a LV but am not sure how she will cut it as a head coach once her star graduates.

Really? Won't see Derth around until they win again...or until Kelly and the LVs trip up.

you spelt 'muricans wrong.

She had two buckets at the very end after it was out of reach, hardly impactful

Didn't say she was impactful. You commented that she was throwing up a bunch of bricks in the 4th. She had taken 2 shots at the time you made that comment. Williams and Ducharme were the ones with the really ugly misses.

When was Connecticut's last loss to an unranked team?

I don't see him here even when he is here. I learned quickly not to bother reading his posts

2012

Kentucky was missing Dre'Una Edwards. They have no chance against any decent team without her. DePaul will likely pick up another win against a shoethanded team in a few weeks vs. UConn.

Paige masked a lot of problems with UConn because she was so clutch. Throw her the ball and wait for her to bail out the team while everyone else is watching. Williams is Robin and will never be Batman. Evina is best as a role player.

Unless Ducharme and 1-2 of the bigs not named ONO step up, they will be in for a long ride until they get Fudd and Bueckers both back.

I read them all. I continue to be impressed by the persistance.

The BY will be like a funeral procession in the next 5 min.

Heading there as we speak to read all the posts

 

[LadyVol1908]

Don’t remember the last time we were ranked ahead of UCONN!

 

[Rickster]

It doesn't look like UConn has a go to player right now. 6-19 shooting by Williams didn't help matters. They will put things together eventually.

 

[Amb3096]

I looked at a few earlier. I think they realize that the players there just aren't stepping up and maybe the team sans Paige is just not that good.

240 games ago

Probably have to go back to 2008, and only because Tennessee was ranked #1 in the final poll. They may have been ranked ahead of them end to end the previous 2-3 years before that as well in the post DT era.

Heh...
My wife came into the room while I was watching the game and asked me why I had a paper bag on my head. Just told her it was the first time since forever that I was embarrassed to be a UCONN fan. The good news I didn't cut out the eye holes, why wreck a good bag over one game?

Darth is always here. Living rent free in your heads and in your posts, especially of those who claim never to read or acknowledge him.

Wow UConn looked completely average. That is the way NOT to respond to major injury. Will be interesting to see what, if anything, Geno is able to pull together.

Whatever happiness GT's win brings Tasha Butts is the best thing about the game for me.

I'd disagree...totally new deal for geno and his team. They lost quite a bit of qualified by game time talent this past week
