If you haven't been to this site, do so. It has a link to more UConn women's games than you can ever watch!!

Here is the link. UCONN REPLAYS.  

At the gym yesterday, I watched the first UConn/Notre Dame game from last season. Boy, was UConn's first half defense terrible against the freshman Mabrey. They let her get to the rim at will. Jefferson showed her all-world defense on her in the second half as UConn ran out to a 22 point lead early in the 4th quarter. Notre Dame hit some crazy threes and closed to ten points at the end of the game.

Enjoy!!!! 


****************************************************************************

Hearing more that the Big 12 will expand to 14 teams. If that is true, my 75% for UConn rises to 95%. I said weeks ago that I believe this will happen. Stay tuned!!!

Lots of articles in the UConn section.

Well, lots of articles on the Big 12 expansion. Plenty of arguments for and against UConn. It's time that an expansion scenario finally goes UConn's way.

If they expand to 12 UConn has a fair chance. If they expand to 14, UConn has a great chance.

Let's hope for a great result for UConn fans.
