I don't know about you, but I'm still really pissed off about the Westbrook waiver rejection by the NCAA. I'd just chalk it up to the NCAA making one of their head scratching decisions, but with the words coming from Geno, it's clearly more than that.
Thankfully, the appeal will not involve the NCAA as a group of athletic directors will hear this case and rule on it. Hopefully the information Tennessee withheld will either be amended with all the pertinent information or the AD's reviewing the case will take the missing information into consideration. This whole thing smells. I've always thought that idea that the NCAA headed by Emerick, a former UConn employee who left on bad terms, would not use his position to screw the Huskies, but it's looking like I've been naive.
Geno's interview below pretty much says it all.

Lots of great articles about UConn and interviews with the players. Here are a few interviews. The articles are where they always are in my blog!
Someone I know noted that during Christyn's interview you could not help but notice Megan and Ania doing a shooting drill behind Christyn. They each started facing the basket in the lane, shooting with only one hand on the ball and progressing steadily backwards to the top of the key, then took 5 footers from all angles around the basket, and finally they shot layups quickly alternating right handed then left handed. In all, each player shot about 50-60 times.
Megan was fine, missing only a handful of shots, But Ania was amazing. She missed exactly 1 of her 50+ shots, and that was from the top of the key with one hand.

As most of you probably know, UConn is playing an exhibition game on Sunday at 1:00 in Gample. I hope many of you have a chance to get to Storrs to watch them in person.
In case you missed it yesterday, you can catch the game HERE. Enjoy!!!

UConn has a couple of big games this season against teams ranked ahead of the Huskies in pre-season polls. For example, Oregon and Baylor. So what is UConn's record against those opponents during Geno's era.
Oregon - Geno is 3-0 with the last meeting in 2017.
Baylor - Geno is 4-3 against the Bears. Baylor won last season.
Even Stanford and Maryland are ranked ahead of the Huskies, although they aren't scheduled to meet in the regular season. How has Geno done against these two teams?
Stanford - 11-7 with the last meeting in 2017.
Maryland - 7-0 with the last beat down in 2017.
Here is Geno's record against the six opponents on the schedule for November.
California - 5-1 with Geno's team winning last 5 in a row.
Vanderbilt - 5-2 Five straight wins with last game in 2018.
Temple - 13-2 UConn has won last 13 in a row.
Virginia - 4-2 UConn won last 4 with last meeting in 2007.
Ohio State - 5-0 with last game in 2018.
Dayton - 3-0 with last game in 2016.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. But, I like the Huskies chances... 
Go Huskies..!!
