TheLiveBlog: Super Saturday

by Kevin Meacham on Jan 2, 2010 6:06 AM EST

We don't pay Dom Amore enough. The Courant's sports writer has a piece in today's paper about the unusual circumstances of all three of UConn's revenue-generating sports teams playing on the same day, especially when that day is Jan. 2. It happened last year, too (football in the International...

Super Saturday, Part I: UConn women vs. Seton Hall

by Kevin Meacham on Jan 2, 2010 5:53 AM EST

Maya Moore will not have to try nearly this hard against Seton Hall this afternoon. As I mentioned earlier, today is a rare occasion: all three of the major UConn sports teams are in action. This is the first in a three-part preview of those...

No seriously: #1 UConn women/#2 Stanford preview

by Kevin Meacham on Dec 23, 2009 1:23 PM EST

If Maya Moore were to sign with the Knicks this offseason instead of LeBron, I think I'd be OK with it. As TheUConnBlog's Ambassador to Women's Basketball, I'd be remiss if I didn't write even a short preview of tonight's epic* #1-#2...

Maya Moore would like you to kneel, please

Taurasi cited with DUI

by UConnBlog Justin on Jul 3, 2009 2:43 PM EDT

How it all went down. Perhaps Dianai Taurasi was celebrating ID4 a bit early. Or perhaps her and her chums were having a few white wine spritzers while engaging in a civilized round-table discussion on the ultimate panty-dropper. Whatever the reason, Taurasi got a bit intoxicated early Thursday...

Anybody want confetti?

by Kevin Meacham on Apr 7, 2009 10:39 PM EDT

Because my computer's covered in it. Congratulations to the UConn women - national champions for the sixth time, 76-54 winners over Louisville tonight here in St. Louis. I'll try to give them their due full-length post at some point in the near future. Now, I've got work to do. And hey - UConn's...

One more thrashing for the road

by UConnBlog Justin on Apr 7, 2009 6:58 PM EDT

All right, let's get this over with. UConn defeated Louisville twice already this season, by 28 and 39. Keep the buses running, Cards. Prediction: Maya Moore 32, Lewisvile 28

Wait. They really haven't won the title yet? ... Seriously?

by UConnBlog Justin on Apr 1, 2009 12:51 PM EDT

In the words of the great Stan Robinson: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Apparently, they haven't given the women's team the NCAA trophy yet. I know. I'm just as shocked as you are. In the meantime, the team has been playing slightly more competitive...

Women's team given No. 1 overall seed, scoffs at teams with "losses"

by UConnBlog Justin on Mar 17, 2009 3:32 PM EDT

I always wondered how women's players got around that whole chest bump thing. Just in case you were confused, the women's team hasn't officially been given the national title yet. But that's mainly because the NCAA insists on...

Opponent Watch: Day 2

by Kevin Meacham on Mar 11, 2009 3:29 PM EDT

The most exciting thing to ever happen in North Dakota. In yesterday's edition, we speculated that the UConn men could play East Tennessee State or Cornell in the first round, while the UConn women could play Austin Peay, Central Florida,...
