Delaware vs. Connecticut

[chrissaran]

The Delaware game has been a tale of two very different halves. Delle Donne is a talented offensive player, but Delaware doesn't have enough to beat Connecticut. There was a play towards the end of the first half where Delle Donne jogged back when WVU had a fast break. Connecticut would just run them to death. Breanna would be the one to cover Delle Donne, with guards doubling down to help. Her length would cause some problems, although as I said she would need help, senior vs. freshman. Connecticut would score more points than Delaware with Dolson playing low and KML, Bria, Breanna, Kelly, Morgan and Moriah hitting from three. Also, Connectciut's depth would wear Delaware down.

It's not going to be an issue because Delaware is not going to beat North Carolina or Kentucky.

Delaware up 13.

Delle Donne wouldn't be able to get up and down the court at Connecticut's speed. You can't jog back on defense against Connecticut, or any of the top level D1 teams for that matter.

She, also, has to manage her game to stay on the court for Delaware just like Griner must for Baylor.

Great win for Delaware before their home fans. Outscore WVU by 20 in the second half.

 

[Blueballer]

Has anyone seen any quotes from Hatchell about the possibility of playing on Delawares Home court?
Sylvia is usually pretty opinionated, she surely must have said something....

 

[Icebear]

She said she'll dazzle them with something from the Porter Wagner collection.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Sylvia probably isn't overly concerned. Delaware's overall team talent level is probably equivalent to a BC in the ACC. If NC plays their game, and ESPN doesn't have the fix in, the Tar Heels should win.

I laughed out loud at this one ICE

Pretty much

Don't just laugh give me a LIKE I'm on my way to 28%.

 

[Icebear]

Albany playing UNC tough.

 

[Blueballer]

Don't just laugh give me a LIKE I'm on my way to 28%.

As a UCONN fan I thought you were uninterested in statistics - just unmitigated JOY

 

[Blueballer]

Albany playing UNC tough.

Typical NC game. Anticipating the lower seed to roll over for them. Ruffin-Pratt looks like she doesn't even want to play this game. Not looking to score which is odd for her. Now she gets a T for throwing a tantrum over a call.

 

[Coler]

Pretty much

Cuz UNC is so good that they are down to Albany.

 

[speedoo]

UNC is a joke.

 

[DaddyChoc]

did UNC win?

 

[ChicagoGG]

did UNC win?

Barely.

People didn't give the Danes enough credit. If their name had been Hartford, they would have.

I think someone is forgetting there is another round of games to play before we even go here... Mojo gods are not amused

 

[semper]

I watched quite a bit of the Delaware game and tried not to "fall to pieces" with unfulfilled wishes, and instead thought about what probably would have happened to EDD at UCONN. She (Lyme disease not withstanding) would have had to get into shape and learn a lot about the fast break. She would have become a defensive horror show (she's not now), and she might have have been the NPY; there is so much talent there, but it's fairly "unformed." She is a fabulous player...but she could have been one of the greatest of all time.

 

[triaddukefan]

UNC is a joke.

 

[Suebird10fan]

I'll be a bit surprised if Delaware does NOT beat UNC. Partly because they're a bit better than the Heels. And, cuz it's on Delaware's home court.

And in my mind it wouldn't be a huge upset if the Fightin' Blue Hens beat Kentucky ... although I don't expect it.

Don't know why folks on this board can't give the Hens any credit for being a decent team. Ok, I guess I do ...

 

[hoopfan515]

I am sure Harbor Yard and ESPN wouldn't mind the upset either. Delaware would draw a larger crowd.
