A blog on UConn women's basketball.

Programming note

Just spreading the word that if you wish to revisit the Elena Delle Donne basketball burnout story, it will be the subject of an Outside the Lines special on Sunday (9 a.m. on ESPN, noon on ESPN Classic).

I'm sure if you are reading this blog, you are aware of the Delle Donne story. A 6-foot-4 offensive dynamo who was a centerpiece of UConn's current freshman class. But after two days on the UConn campus in June, Delle Donne had a friend come and get her and drive her back to Wilmington, Delaware. After taking the summer to collect her thoughts and ponder her future, Delle Donne enrolled at the University of Delaware and was a member of the Blue Hens' volleyball team which reached the NCAA Division I tournament.

Here's a preview of the report which seems like it falls into the category of "haven't we already been over this before" since she recently finished her first semester of college and if the video clip is an indication of what they came up with, it doesn't appear to be groundbreaking stuff. Also, the release I received from ESPN stated it was her first television interview since telling UConn coach Geno Auriemma of her decision not to honor her scholarship with the Huskies. That is not true since I know at least one local television station was at the press conference at the University of Delaware announcing her decision to enroll at and play volleyball for Delaware.

So anybody who wishes, feel free to tune in.

happy holidays
