UConn-Duke- the game, the thread!

[ghostmutt]

Would have liked to see a 10-point cushion with Williams on the bench. I feel like Bria is going to settle down with the halftime break, but KML looks to be having one of those games.

UCONN 1-9 from 3

Since Stanford, KML has not have a good shooting day against the best teams UConn has played. Hope she gets her shot in the 2nd half. Team is 1 - 9 on 3's with most of them wide open looks.

Great Team Defense has kept Duke in check except for the bombs that Gray hit. Her three 3's were well beyond the 3 point arc.

The difference between the last game at Cameron and this game is that the perimeter shots aren't falling in this game. So much for the friendly rims at Cameron.

Duke shooting 29% and we're up by 8???????

Yeah, actually they seem pretty unforgiving. Kind of surprising.

I love Kiah's defensive prowess. She stays wide and is always balanced, moves her feet beautifully (side-to-side) and is so long she alters people's bad intentions. She also does an excellent job of boxing out, keeps her opponent on her rump - outside looking in and with those long arms wins every contested ball. This might be her confidence building break-out game!

They're making bunches of threes.

As cold as we were in the first half, we can get hot from the outside in the second half. Kaleena's shots have got to start dropping soon. She's overdue!

Can't say enough good things about Kiah Stokes in this game. 100% agree. Btw the box score only has her for one block so far, I think she has 2 at least.

Did anyone else see that little display of 'tude when she was fighting for a ball on our end and the ref called the tie-up about the same time she was ripping the ball away from the Duke player? That look she gave spoke volumes about her progress re: intensity

They made 3, we made 1.

 

[pap49cba]

We have 6 FTs and Duke 0.

Tiff has headaches, being evaluated may not start in 2nd half.

 

[Replicant]

I expect Tiff to attack freshman Williams immediately in the 2nd half to pick up her 4th. Tiff plays smart, aggressive and goes for the jugular...gotta love it!

That is NOT good news.

 

[alexrgct]

I'd be interested to see a big lineup (Stef/Kiah) in the second half. Duke doesn't have an answer for both of them, and we're not hitting much from outside.

 

[pppggg]

Huskies will bury them in the 3rd half. By that, I mean the last 10 minures of the game.

 

[huskeynut]

Second half, go right after Williams and see if she gets her 4th foul

 

[ghostmutt]

No Tiff. Not good.

 

[huskeynut]

Kaleena starts the second half

 

[Dairyair]

Crystal Dangerfield!!!!!!!!

 

[alexrgct]

Doty with a much-needed three. Much needed.

 

[huskeynut]

Caroline for 3

 

[alexrgct]

Why can't Bria hit a shot???

 

[huskeynut]

Stef picks up her third foul
