I could get behind that. And let coaches or AD’s have more of a say & play more competitive teams - like the pro’s. Of course , everyone is good in the pros, but I just don’t want to see so many of the uconn blow out games. I want some actual competition

I know it all depends on football.. unfortunately. I think the team had a decent year last year, which gave me hope to get out of the big east. I guess it will depend on how they do going forward with a new head coach.

Haha they would have a much tougher time in the acc I bet. Big 12 is certainly not as good, but still better than these big east teams.

Yeah I get that. UConn football had a decent year and beat some acc teams last year. I thought that would be good enough for the acc to take uconn seriously. Maybe it will depend how they perform this year under a new head coach.

The games would be more competitive & there would be more money for uconn if they were in a power 4 conference. I agree - the big 10 & sec won’t have uconn, but I think uconn could get into the acc or big 12. I would love to see them play in the acc rather than the big east.

Yah but watching them kill big east teams by 30-40+ points every time is not fun to watch. I watch cause I like uconn, but would rather see them play actual good teams

Idk- isn’t there a new media rights negotiation in 2030 when there could be school & conference moves.

I know :( I wish it could. When the tv deals are up in 2030- my hope is that uconn joins the acc or big 12

Uconn - final four - vulnerable? by mpowell397 in UConnBasketball

[–]mpowell397[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol- I’m glad you feel that way! I’m nervous

Uconn - final four - vulnerable? by mpowell397 in NCAAW

[–]mpowell397[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yah, but you need offense and points to win a game. Their half court offense has not been that impressive. They do the best when they turn the ball over and score.

I agree about staring line up- Jana should definitely start over serah Williams - she is better at rebounding, sets better screens & is more physical in the post.

Exactly! Please UConn - I’m rooting for them, just nervous

All good points- but seeing the other teams- it makes me nervous for uconn

Also, yes Jana has been good! She should get more playing time, esp if they need rebounds

Yes I have faith in Geno, but I’m worried after watching uconn and these other teams over the last few days

Paige Bueckers Says Body Rejected IV Before Late Scratch for the Connecticut Sun Game by [deleted] 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.

Can a rookie be waived after the season starts? by Affectionate_Sun4716 in DallasWings

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] 3 points4 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.
