IT'S LOGAN DAY!!!!!

My niece Molly owns and operates a new Sustainable Bridal Boutique called GLO. It's in Newton Mass. Here is the link if anyone is interested. GLO

It's named after the nickname the grandkids gave my mom. She used to wear leisure outfits like J-Lo so G-Lo was born and now GLO.

Logan, G-Lo's great-grandson is visiting his cousin Molly's shop doing his Karate Kid impression!!

Oh yeah, Logan feels good about this team!!

This young lady is the No. 3 recruit in the class of 2023. Her favorite player is Stewart. She looks really happy in this photo. Maybe she might come to UConn? I think there is a really, really, really good chance.

I love her because she is a really good golfer as well! At 6'3" she gets a lot of leverage!

Here is a couple of videos just to wet your whistle.

A tough blow for this young lady and South Carolina. The No. 2 recruit just behind Azzi Fudd, Raven is a terrific player. She would have added a big piece to the rotation. The Gamecocks are deep enough to absorb this loss.

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

I usually don't pick on teams that are scheduled as cupcakes for ranked teams. It's just not fair to judge their performances. However, two teams were just screaming for attention.

In the St. Francis (PA)/West Virginia game, the Red Flash were not so quick.

They only scored 33 points. They did manage 11 points in the second quarter.

They shot 31% from the field 3-15 on threes and 4-8 on FT's. Ok...pretty bad.

But the defining stat for this ugly performance was the 35 turnovers.

A well deserved UGGY award.

However, that was NOTHING!

In the Bellarmine/Louisville game, the Knights were vanquished bigtime.

They scored only 25 points, by quarter 10, 4, 4, 7. Whew!

They shot 14.9% from the field. 7-47. They were 2-12 on threes. They added 29 turnovers.

Another well deserved UGGY award.

It's a split decision.
