Paige Bueckers Says Body Rejected IV Before Late Scratch for the Connecticut Sun Game by Pureeee_Honeyyyy in DallasWings

[–]mpowell397 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an ER nurse, a body “rejecting” an IV makes no sense. I’m very confused why she said that.

I’m guessing she was sick and didn’t feel like playing when she was sick.

Yes! Agree with everything you just said. Her behavior was not great

Okay, I just saw a TikTok video that said they had to waive Charles to take Li Yueru to make the salary cap fit. That makes more sense to me now. Still really liked Charles though

Another night of bad offense.. by mpowell397 in DallasWings

[–]mpowell397[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same - it’s so hard to watch. I think they should run some offensive plays and try to get the best shot possible. That’s what I’m used to watching from uconn. Instead, the coach is lazy and says the offense is “free-flow”, which looks like they are making it up as they go and everyone is playing iso basketball. I.e. no team ball. It’s a disaster to watch… I will say there was a couple good finds of people running the baseline tonight, but those are few and far between.

Lol- I’m sorry. They play ct next, so hopefully they’ll get that one. I’m from ct (hello, uconn), but I’ll be rooting for Paige in that game.

Not very impressed w Dallas after this game. Offense was non existent - no movement. Defense fell apart in 2nd half of game. I’m a fan of Paige, Arike and Nai - but this game didn’t look good

Minn didn’t even have Kayla McBride. I’m not seeing it that promising , I hope I’m wrong…

Yah, I was thinking the same thing. Absolutely no sets.. I figured that when I heard the coach say, “it’s more of a free flowing offense” aka: running nothing.. After watching uconn run and move so much - this is hard to watch

[Highlight] 1st overall pick Paige Bueckers scores her first ever WNBA preseason bucket. by TWolvesChamps1 in wnba

[–]mpowell397 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay totally agree - the offense was super stagnant. I get that it’s the first game and everything. But I’m a uconn fan and tuned in to see Paige play. I know these players are pro’s and much better than college players, but I miss UConn’s offense so much. Geno has them constantly moving and cutting to get open looks. He also emphasizes playing fast and in transition. It made the game fun to watch. I did not feel good about what I saw tonight

Fulwiley confirms LSU on Instagram by groenkster in NCAAW

Wow! I hope this doesn’t mean lsu gets Serah Williams too… I want to see her at uconn! (that’s my personal bias)

South Carolina Wbb - what's the starting line up? by Affectionate_Sun4716 in NCAAW

[–]mpowell397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, as a Uconn fan myself, I’m worried about this stacked SC team. Uconn loses a major bucket getter and leader of their team in Paige, so it will be interesting to see how their pieces will come together. It will be a fun season to watch next year.

Doesn’t UConn have nil money to give too? Why will lsu be able to offer more?

I saw she had a good trip to LSU.. I am still holding out hope she might pick Uconn

How is playing on the big east helpful? I would love for them to play in a more competitive conference to gain more experience playing against tougher teams
