Let's get ready to RUMBLE!

 

[UConnChapette]

The question is will I be able to eat after the game. Oh heavens, the butterflies are filling that empty space right now.

 

[UConnChapette]

Wildcats hit a 3 to start the scoring, then KML matches it.

 

[ursusminor]

Open up 3-3 and Kelly is in a fightin' mood.

 

[UConnChapette]

Got to handle the pressure better on the inbounds.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Ugly game so far. Frantic first minute.

 

[ursusminor]

Three turnovers in about 10 seconds; two for KY, one for us. Foul called on KY to bail us out on the full court press.

 

[UConnChapette]

Breanna taking it strong. 5-3 UConn

 

[UConnChapette]

So, refs have decided to call it tight.

 

[Flyegirl]

Oh goodness, they are going to be blowing the whistles all night.

So, refs have decided to call it tight.

Interesting isn't it?

 

[Replicant]

Put Moriah in NOW and bust the press!

 

[ursusminor]

Foul on Caroline (offensive) and Stef (defensive). KY hits one, 6-5 KY. Still a mess on the full court press. Bria in.

 

[WNBARookFan]

Bria and MoJeff need to play tonight. No offense to Caroline Doty, but she is just not capable of handling KY.

 

[UConnChapette]

We need to get better at handling the pressure. Not a great start.

 

[UConnChapette]

I love the aggressiveness of KML off a terrific pass from Stef

Mo Jeff?

 

[ursusminor]

Interesting; KY didn't press with Bria handling the ball.
9-6 UConn.

Starting Doty against Kentucky's pressure defense was a horrible coaching decision by Geno.

Defensive rebounding will be a huge factor tonight. That's the best way to prevent Kentucky from setting up its defense.
