UConn vs. MSU Game Thread

[Skiblets]

Doris Burke tries to sound hip but is full on cringe worthy.

 

[JustinesGuy]

Ok so competitive half.

Good news : Kia and phees are rested.

Lou really needs to help a bit.

Defense defense defense.

Good game

 

[HuskyNan]

With UConn playing it's more and MS playing their best it's still single digits

I think you're saying Miss State is playing its brains out and UConn is playing as badly as they ever have yet they're only down 8.

 

[Sonny44]

And time for Lou to take over. She is the best offensive player if she plays to her potential.

She needs some screens.

 

[HuskyNan]

Because it's women's basketball. They never T coaches in women's basketball.

That's news to Geno

 

[NoelAustin]

UConn getting beaten badly on the boards. That is the difference. Miss St is only shooting 38% field goals.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Lou and Collier have been extremely disappointing, need to get their heads in the game.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Well - can they make adjustments and take this game over? Let's hope so.

 

[the Q]

Would like to see KLS be much more aggressive, I don't think she has any fouls.

She's not moving well without the ball at all.

 

[Centerstream]

And MissSt gets the ball to start the third, right?

 

[HoopsFan21]

If we could get something, anything, from our two AA first teamers we will be OK. Whenever we are on offense it feels like there are 7 MSU defenders out there.

UConn did not come out prepared. They looked a lot better in the 2nd quarter. First three minutes in the 3rd will likely determine outcome. The defense MUST force some turnovers,.

 

[OneTrickPony]

I'll be curious to see how Pheesa and Kia come out in the second half...

 

[UCweCONN]

Do they film the final episode of March to Madness if we lose? I hate playing quarters instead of halves. It's an advantage to the underdog when the give breaks in the game. They can focus on breaking the game into smaller pieces. I think with halves teams tend to panic because the game seems so much bigger.

 

[HuskyNan]

UConn did not come out prepared.

LOL

 

[Centerstream]

And the MissSt center will start the third, she owned us before her foul trouble.

 

[Shorty Dee]

The walls and doors might be rattling in UConn's locker room. Geno had sweat running down his face in the 2nd quarter, so it is probably real ugly in the locker room.

 

[the Q]

UConn getting beaten badly on the boards. That is the difference. Miss St is only shooting 38% field goals.

That and not preventing dribble penetration.

 

[UConn990411]

Stop.

Nah, I'll say what I think considering that's the point of this message board.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Out hustled for a whole half...I expect that to turn around in the 3rd quarter...

 

[HuskyNan]

If we could get something, anything, from our two AA first teamers we will be OK. Whenever we are on offense it feels like there are 7 MSU defenders out there.

Lou and Napheesa are still sophomores. Last year when they got flustered, they threw the ball to Stevie, Morgan, or Mo. This year it's on them and they're struggling to adjust.

 

[magic]

Worst half of the year by Phees. She and KLS need to assert themselves !

thanks for interpreting

For all that we looked better in the second quarter, we gained 1 point on them.

Zone up?
