SU at UConn: (45-98) Mon Mar 23, 6 PM [NCAA 2nd Rd]

[MSOrange]

For those with knowledge of NIL in women’s hoops, what would you estimate UConn’s total is vs ours? Would it be crazy to think that each UConn starter individually makes more than our entire team combined?

UConn also has players with "real" NIL deals and not just from the school. Azzi Fudd has Jordan Brand and GEICO and Sarah Strong has Jordan Brand and I'm sure there are others.

This may be the worst post in my 16 years on this board. It's not Felicia's fault that NIL is a thing. She is a very good coach.

1 quad 1 win. Kansas State had 4. It’s not JUST an NIL problem.

Yes this game is a stinker but I am proud of this team they overachieved and the future is BRIGHT.

The quad system in women's basketball is much different.

Before NIL, Yukon was still stacking their roster 1-15 with the best players. This is why the Women's game won't sustain popularity vs the Men's game. Not enough great players once you get past the top ten or 15 teams in the country.

I have total respect for FLJ and unfortunately they had a big injury. She will give 100% in the 2nd half, but this is tough to communicate positivity to your players for another 20 minutes.

Geno could bench his starters and really should. He has a full bench, let his 6 to 10th play the 3rd and his 11th thru 15th play the 4th quarter.

even with all the great Notre Dame teams under McGraw they have 2 nattys in about 20 years. Ridiculous concept for a sport in college and it will only get worse with NIL

I knew we wouldn’t win but never in my wildest dreams did I think it was going to be this bad!

Beauty brand Madison Reed bets on women's sports with UConn basketball partnership

The University of Connecticut and beauty brand Madison Reed have signed a three-year court-naming rights deal, as well as NIL deals with four athletes.

The company has also signed NIL deals with four UConn women’s basketball players: Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, Ice Brady and Morgan Cheli.

On the one hand, this game is obviously a nightmare. On the other hand, at least the ladies actually made the Dance.

This team was also picked to finish 13th in conference this season. If you told me they would win 24 games this season i would laughed

 

[sufan59]

Why does Geno have the starters in?

And won a game.

Holly Rowe: some of our players were in tears coming out of the locker room

 

[guards98]

If things don't change on the NIL front FLJ will probably start getting offers elsewhere, and I wouldn't blame her for considering them. Losing to Uconn or some other juggernaut in the second round appears to be our ceiling with the resources we've got.

Why does Geno have the starters in?

He wants to work on some out of bounds situations

 

[KellySyracuse]

Holly Rowe: some of our players were in tears

it's the equivalent of watching a little league team play against an MLB team

 

[JrodCuse]

Forgot the game was on…just turned it on…

 

[KellySyracuse]

well I guess I'll go make some dinner now, holler if anything changes

 

[JarHeadJim]

Why does Geno have the starters in?

Because he is an AHole.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

29-82 / End 3rd

 

[llandz]

Well we tied them in the 3rd Q. 17-17.

 

[Fan Always]

College sports have been ruined by NIL. Something needs to change.

 

[KellySyracuse]

why are people with apparently little knowledge of the women's game and being aholes? JFC

College sports have been ruined by NIL. Something needs to change.

Woman’s college basketball teams have been blowing each other out long before NIL was ever a thing.
