UConn Women's Basketball is ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll for the first time since the 2017-18 season. The last time the Huskies held the nation's No. 1 ranking going into a game (which was in 2021), Azzi Fudd and Caroline Ducharme were high school seniors.

Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz Third straight meeting in a grand slam final. Buckle up; it’s going to be a thriller at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

It’s highly unlikely that Gandy Malou-Mamel will have a major role for UConn WBB in 2025-26. But behind her stifling defensive play, Malou-Mamel should be a regular contributor down low for the 12-time national champions. I explain how for UConn On3. www.on3.com/sites/uconn-...

Breaking: UConn gets a commitment from Uroš Paunović. @TiptonEdits first

UConn and Ohio State meet in women’s basketball for the eighth time since 2010 this upcoming season. It will be their first meeting since the Sweet 16 in 2023. I explain why defense will be the focal point of this contest for the UConn Report. Link: www.on3.com/sites/uconn-...

Ryan Boatright is on a clutch-shot TEAR in Syracuse right now.

Portland brings back the fire nickname that was used from 2000 to 2002. The logo itself is fantastic.

With her unsung intensity and versatility at all five positions, Morgan Cheli (2.5 PPG, 2.4 RPG in 2024-25) could take on an increased role as a sophomore when she returns to full health. I explain how, even with UConn's roster changes, for The UConn Report on On3. www.on3.com/sites/uconn-...

Detroit and Cleveland getting franchises again (joining Portland in that regard). Philadelphia entering the fray. What an exciting time for the WNBA!

Strange, but true: This is the first time since 2020 that the first Big East player taken in the NBA Draft did not come from UConn. The Huskies had just re-joined the conference four months earlier when Saddiq Bey (Villanova) was drafted 18th overall in November of that year.

Liam McNeeley is now the: Third one-and-done in program history 24th first round pick in program history, all since 1990 52nd draft selection in program history 9th pick under Dan Hurley, the 5th first round pick and 7th in the past three seasons

The Phoenix Suns originally made the pick that resulted in Liam McNeeley, but will be sending it to the Charlotte Hornets in a deal that will be finalized when the new season starts. McNeeley potentially being in the primary rotation with LaMelo Ball could make the Hornets VERY underrated.

To paraphrase Dan Hurley when the UConn men's basketball team won the national title in 2023: "Now the Oklahoma City Thunder have got their own!" It is only fitting that a UConn alum, Mark Daigneault, leads the Thunder to their first NBA title since moving to the Sooner State.

Just three of UConn's top 10 leaders in tackles return for the 2025 season; all of them are defensive backs. Between their returnees and portal additions, I explain why the Huskies' secondary has the most responsibilities on the defense for UConn Rivals. connecticut.rivals.com/news/a-seaso...

The Florida Panthers are back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, the first team to do so since the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020-21. Florida has won the Eastern Conference four times and each Stanley Cup Finals series went a different number of games.
