UConn - BYU Game Thread

[MilfordHusky]

We need to grind them down one possession at a time.

 

[UConnChapette]

Team looked really tight during warmups. Let's set if they can shake loose a but in the second.

 

[alexrgct]

Lots of disgruntled folks here. Let's hope the second half will get us gruntled once again.

. I'd love to be gruntled. Or mayed. Or consolate. Or paraged. Anything but dissed...

 

[ballhawk]

We're still up with Stewie and Bria only having scored 4 points total. They'll come alive in the second half. It'll be ok.

 

[HuskyNan]

The Huskies aren't very aggressive. They need to control the tempo and start going at the big girl. Channel Heather!

Oh, and ball denial would be good. Glad they ratcheted up the D late in the half but they need to stop the ball rather than the shooter.

That's 'regruntled'...

 

[UConnChapette]

Mo comes out with an ankle brace on her right ankle. Or tape.

 

[Vowelguy]

If we were to play a half like this against ND, we would be down 20.

Has Achonwa grown 4 inches?

 

[Icebear]

My concern from the last game defensively still holds. We lost a lot of shooters with overplaying on D. We even lost the kid under the basket on the last play. One more second on the clock and we would have been trailing at the half. It is an important problem to resolve both today and going forward.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Let's get some good shots and make them. Play with confidence!!

 

[JellyBean]

We just have to knock down our shots. 0-8 from the 3 pt land? Come on now. We get 2 or 3 of those, we are up. We missed 4 free throws we are up some more. We are kicking BYU's butt on the offensive rebounding side. I like our chances in the 2nd half. I really do not like the officials in this game....that worries me. We will see what happens in the 2nd half

 

[BigBird]

So, I guess my definition of a charge won't fly here on the BY. Sure has been a tough first half for me. I predicted a close game. Wasn't thinking it would be quite so close... Still, I think UC has more weapons and more talent. BYU has had the confidence and the energy.

 

[Aluminny69]

If we were to play a half like this against ND, we would be down 20.
Hopefully, a smidgen of humility can seep into some posters' mental approach and the mojo can be preserved.
Let's GOOOOO

Can't help thinking about those posters who wrote that #1 seeds should play like #1 seeds. Yes, some UConn fans need to learn some humility.

 

[Icebear]

We need to back screen Hamson and trap her outside when she comes to Stef. Let the cutters get behind her.

Hamson all over Stef with her body, no call.

 

[JellyBean]

No foul call????

 

[Vowelguy]

How was that not a foul?

 

[MilfordHusky]

My concern from the last game defensively still holds. We lost a lot of shooters with overplaying on D. We even lost the kid under the basket on the last play.

Totally agree.

They are just tougher than we are.

Hartley with a 3, 37-35 UConn 16:50

 

[Vowelguy]

What is the deal with these off rebounds

 

[Hongster]

Bria's turn.

 

[NutmegDog]

What's with the BYU second chance points? Can we limit those please.

 

[alexrgct]

Jeez. We need to rebound defensively.

 

[sawxfan23]

How many second chance baskets can we give up by not hustling or fighting for the ball?

 

[HoopsFan21]

KML with a 3. 42-37

 

[Icebear]

The rhythm is coming.
