billikenfan05 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Figured I’d start a thread to talk about it. Tickets are still available obviously. Who is planning on going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliken Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'll be there row 3 behind the bench. Also of note, previously #2 UConn beat #1 ND last night, and will undoubtedly be consensus #1 in the nation today. So, that adds an even greater level of excitement to the game. I'm not crazy enough to think we'll win; but with how our team has improved, I wouldn't be surprised if we keep it to within 25. Of course, we, as any team, could lose by 60 to them.

White Pelican Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm going. I'm a women's as well as men's season ticket holder. I'm usually general admission but my ticket for this one is an assigned seat, I think in 104 maybe. This will undoubtedly feature the best women's team I will ever see in my life.

But I just want to discourage the admiration for the juggernaut from turning into "polite" applause when they score. Sorry I rankled you.

doowop Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I am going. UConn is my favorite team and Collier is my favorite player and has been since she was a sophomore at Incarnate Word Academy. I pull for SLU also and the 6'5" freshman should help SLU considerably in the future. I've been a UConn WCBB fan since 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Pelican Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm sticking this in here cuz I can. Two Billiken legends talking hoops between games Saturday. Legendary Larry was later named Fan of The Game at the half of the women's game. SLU women held on to beat SIUe 63-56 in what I thought was a surprisingly close game.

FromDaEastSide Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Anyone that would like to listen. Give Chris May’s podcast chat with Gino Auriemma today a listen. It’s a really good interview we’re they discuss the culture of his UConn program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If I lived in St. Louis, I would definitely attend this WBB game. I saw UConn play USC (that's S.Carolina not the other one) 3 years ago in Columbia when the teams were ranked 1 and 2 in the country. 18k + fans. It was really never close. I really thought USC had the better talent, but UConn is so well coached it didn't matter. I mean spacing, screens, blocking out, defending, etc. They do everything well. Aureama (sp?) is some kind of coach. Make that coaching genius. Seriously, for all you local residents go see this game. It's probably going to be a blowout, but it's worth it just to see UConn put on a basketball clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
