UConn hits the reset button (Ep. 106)
UConn women’s basketball is starting over. After losing Azzi Fudd for the rest of the season to a torn ACL and Caroline Ducharme missing both games in the Cayman Islands, the Huskies are throwing out everything they did during the preseason and doing it all over again. On this episode, we break down the good and bad from the contests in the Caribbean, explain why this team is so volatile and look ahead to the matchup at Texas on Sunday.

How will UConn move forward without Azzi Fudd? (Ep. 105)
Azzi Fudd is out for the rest of the season after tearing her ACL, so UConn will once again have to chart a course forward without a top player. On this week’s episode, we discuss how the Huskies will try to replace Fudd and who needs to step up in her absence. We also break down the wins over Maryland and Minnesota, and look ahead to the Cayman Islands Classic matchups against No. 2 UCLA and Kansas.

Is it too early to be worried about UConn? (Ep. 104)
UConn women’s basketball ended up on the wrong end of an upset at NC State on Sunday. Not much went well for the Huskies and now that they’ve returned home, they don’t have much time to bounce back before another big matchup with Maryland. After how poorly UConn played, is it time to be worried? Or is it too early in the season? We discuss that and much more on this week’s episode.

We also preview the upcoming campaign by making our predictions: What will Paige Bueckers’ return look like, what’s the biggest x-factor and do the Huskies win the national championship?

Great Episode
Love the podcast but I have a pet peeve. Why does Megan answer every question with “yeah exactly?”
Honest Open Opinions Need Not Apply
Nice show, though you need a new sidekick or weekly guests. The constant points that are repeated twice when Megan speaks—She must have her own opinion?
