The day and time is in and the Huskies are playing on Saturday at 1:00 on ABC. I'm so psyced to see this team in the tournament. I'm mostly excited to see how Ice Brady does coming off her two 40 minutes performances. I'm still in a little shock about that. I'm not surprised about her skills. I have been saying that she can do it all season. I'm just surprised about her conditioning. 80 minutes? Crazy!! 

How will Geno use her? To get her more minutes, he will definately play her with Edwards. And that really changes how this team plays. It's not exactly Twin Towers, but it's two bigs that most teams will struggle against.

We need the support!!

I'm pretty sure most of us felt she wasn't coming back. This seems more definitive. She will make a great pro!!

From a Jackson State Perspective

This guy is a blast. I love his enthusiasm for his team. His breakdown of UConn is not bad. 

He makes a lot of great points. His breakdown of the roster is a little weak but he spent a ton of time on this. I certainly can appreciate that..

It's really long but I think if you listen to it, you will learn a lot about Jackson State.

He has underestimated the Huskies. My pregame report that will come out later in the week will show what I think about this game.  

He says he needs Jackson State to shoot a high percentage of threes. They shoot 28%. His take on the "little white girls with knee braces" that UConn plays who just shoot and shoot. I thought it was funny! He definately has an attitude. Some might be offended. Not me.  

I think he wants to actually be their coach. He has a lot to say. He knows his stuff, but I don't think he totally understands the talent discrepancy. 

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

Remember this??? Saylor Poffenbarger transferred from UConn. Her mother had a lot to do with it and she ran off to Arkansas. So........was the grass greener on the other side??????

"Sophomore guard Saylor Poffenbarger has entered the transfer portal, according to The Next Hoops. Poffenbarger transferred to Arkansas from UCONN in 2022. This past season, she started in 30 games and averaged 10.2 points per game and 11.2 rebounds per game."

Yep, she has decided to move on from Arkansas. What is her next destination? Will she ever find happiness? Stay turned for the continuing story of "Saylor sets Sail".
