Morgan Morrison, an electrical engineering graduate student at Tandon School of Engineering, joins the Violets from Smith College. “But we have the talent to do so, and we work hard to get to know each other off the court too.” “It’s definitely a hard task for them, and it’s going to be a little bit of an adjustment finding this chemistry,” Pellecchia said. The four seniors who were part of head coach Meg Barber’s first recruiting class graduated last year, but the Violets added eight first-years and three transfers this semester to add depth to the roster. “It’s not even a question of whether we’re gonna win or lose, it’s just that we have to come together.” “This year, our whole mantra is to not have any regrets, to be more competitive with each other and aggressive,” Pellecchia said. That’s my favorite.”ĭespite back-to-back quarterfinal losses, Pellecchia remains staunch about winning another championship. I love it when I’m guarding the best player on the other team and say they average like 15 or 16 points and they score two points. “It just takes effort and hustle to keep the person in front of you. “I take pride in the defensive side of the ball,” Pellecchia said. Pellecchia earned two consecutive UAA Defensive Player of the Year awards and led the UAA in steals with 72 in the last season. We came in unprepared and didn’t do the things that we should have done previously in the year.” “It was like we should be here, and should have made it to the next round. “Last year, it was disappointing to lose that game,” said junior and team captain Belle Pellecchia. They lost 63-79 to the eventual winners Transylvania University in a close game up until the fourth quarter where they were always at least 12 points behind the lead. The Violets were close to having a shot at the national championship last year. This year, they are looking for even more. They finished 25-3 overall, tying the fifth most wins in a season in program history. ![]() It just did.The NYU women’s basketball team won their second consecutive UAA title last season and made the Elite Eight - the final eight teams in the NCAA - for the second year. ![]() It’s hard to explain why Sookie from Gilmore Girls on a motorized podium took the world by storm in 2017, but it’s hard to explain a lot of things that happened in 2017. In eighth place is Melissa McCarthy as then-press secretary Sean Spicer. It’s very good, and the quality plus the timing plus Hanks in Trump apparel make it the third most-viewed SNL sketch. The twist of the sketch is, Hanks’ MAGA guy has more in common with the Black contestants than anyone expected. He even wears a “Make America Great Again” hat in case you didn’t pick up the implication of the dot dot dot. Both sketches have the same premise - a white person appears on an otherwise all-Black Jeopardy! hosted by Kenan Thompson’s Darnell Hayes, except instead of “Potent Potables,” the categories are “Had That Been Me” and “Aw Hell Naw” - but the Hanks “Black Jeopardy!” debuted in 2016 and things were… different. “Black Jeopardy” first aired in 2014 with guest host Louis C.K., but it didn’t become a sensation until its third appearance with Tom Hanks. “Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks” (#3 with 63 million views) The categories: Politics, Pop Culture, and Horniness. So once I got over the shock of “Papyrus” only having 16 million views, I noticed that SNL‘s 10 most-watched videos, all with over 32 million views, can be separated into three categories - with one exception. The 20 most popular videos are nearly all from the last six years, when more and more people started consuming the Saturday night show on Sunday morning through viral clips instead of staying up until midnight. I went in thinking a classic like “More Cowbell” (17 million) or “Schweddy Balls” (6.3 million) would be near the top, but I didn’t consider the recency bias. If you’re this viewer (me, I’m the viewer), you spend too much time on the show’s YouTube page and sort every video on the channel by views. The other cast members and writers ( and creator Lorne Michaels) have had a busy off-season, too, but this post isn’t about that - it’s about what an SNL viewer does when there’s no new episodes. This summer break alone, Cecily Strong has a lead role in the Apple TV+ musical Schmigadoon! Pete Davidson is a member of Task Force X in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad Kate McKinnon is filming a Joe Exotic show Kenan Thompson and Aidy Bryant were nominated for Emmys Ego Nwodim joined HBO Max’s Love Life anthology series Colin Jost has stayed in the headlines because of his Disney-suing wife, Scarlett Johansson and his Weekend Update co-anchor shared remarkably tone-deaf jokes on social media. Saturday Night Live has an uncanny ability to stay in the news, even when there hasn’t been a new episode in months and won’t be back until the fall. ![]()
