Great game tonight from the Huskies. There's still a very obvious large gap between UCONN and SC that I can only hope will get smaller in years to come as we continue playing. I'm glad the series was renewed by the way. I actually found out today that I got a job in Connecticut, so maybe I'll make it to Storrs next season.
SC is not the most sharp offensive team but UCONN did a terrific job taking away what little rhythm we could generate. We were passing the ball around the perimeter 20 feet from basket with no idea where to place the ball. In order for us to take that next step we must cut better, screen better, shoot better and pass better. We have a long way to go. The Huskies do such a good job pressuring the ball and taking away your first, second and third option. Stewart and Jefferson had good games tonight but from my vantage point, Tuck was AMAZING tonight. She completely took Alaina Coates out of the game.
One of the entries on a Boneyarder's resume' is the qualification "women's college basketball fan", and you are a good one. So while we won't be joining you to cheer against our girls, or for yours, we'll look forward to seeing you at Gampel, the XL Center, Mohegan Sun, Bridgeport, or The Garden next year.
Personally I think that the non-Huskie fans that contribute here often bring an important perspective to the discussions at hand, and hearing( through an intermediary), from Columbia, South Bend, Knoxville, Palo Alto, Waco, or College Park is always entertaining.
Now good luck driving to work once you get here.
