Paige Bueckers asked Geno why he became nice (to the team) when she wasn’t playing.
His answer: well last year I had two pain in the asses. Only one of them is back this year (Nina Muhl) so I’m only half as bad.
I remember Jennie Baranczyk mentioning in her introductory presser that she wanted teams to circle Oklahoma on their schedule knowing it would be a hard team to prepare for.
After beating
#9
Baylor I think it’s safe to say the
#Sooners
are accomplishing that.
UConn's Dorka Juhász says Geno Auriemma prepared her for the WNBA. She said she’s adjusted well to Cheryl Reeves coaching style there’s “a lot of similarities.”
Some ✨personal news ✨
I’ve accepted a job with
@Hearst
in Connecticut. I will be reporting on breaking sports news over the entire state of Connecticut while writing features for UConn, The Suns and much more!
Oklahoma’s offense is so great it’s undisputed but it’s almost offset by how terrible their defense is which is why OU fans can never be completely confident in any game
Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, both new Thunder players barring trades, share an agent and have been working out together in Santa Barbara for month
-Per Henry Abbott
I’m SO excited to announce that I will be coming back to the Tyler Media family! I will be producing for KOKC and covering OKC Thunder for the Franchise. I can’t wait to be back!
"So I've really enjoyed this year with Nika and I hope we have a long run in the NCAA tournament because she's a feisty kid who never wants to stop fighting,"
-Geno Auriemma on Nika Muhl
"What was different today is that it's March and coach emphasized at practice that we're a different team in March."
-Nika Muhl on how UConn looks right now
In the group stage of the World Cup if two teams end of having the same number of wins, the
#1
spot goes to the team with the most goals. Therefore goal differential matters so U.S. would have been foolish to not drive up the score.

After making NBA history by becoming the youngest player to record a triple double, here is Josh Giddey's final stat line:
13 REB, 14 AST, 4 STL, 2 TO, 17 PTS
Oklahoma vs Alabama was my favorite matchup heading into the Big 12/SEC challenge and it did not disappoint.
Huge props to the
#Sooners
for beating three top ten teams back to back. Talk about peaking at the right time!

on Aliie Ziebell's recruitment to UConn and why it's a "childhood dream come true"
Just got home from covering my first NCAA Tournament game. It’s always been a dream of mine to cover these March Madness games and I’m feeling extremely blessed.
God has a plan and I’m just getting started
Quotes from recruitment:
“I wanna cut my feet off”
“Areeee you a PNM?”
“My hair is so sweaty I need to blow dry it”
“I sound like a man that smokes 3 packs a day”
Paige Bueckers teamed up with Gatorade and Good Sports to give back to a girls basketball program in CT.
@insider_ct
got an exclusive with the President of the Hartford Hurricanes who spoke about the event and how it came about.
Tre Norwood speaking on a new mindset of “celebrating success” in practice meaning the players are making others aware when they do something well. This has changed the overall energy in practice and should carry over to games
Sources: After turning down an extension offer to become the first $50M a year player in league history, James Harden’s message to Houston is clear: Get me to Brooklyn. Rockets and Nets have been in contact, but there’s been no meaningful dialogue.
“This first practice, especially, just that transition, going up and down like a lot of these drills that we did today are exactly what we did at UConn”
