The Maryland loss doesn’t fall into the “bad loss” category for me. Nika was out and Ines had to play point (she was great!). Also sidelined were Paige, Azzi, Dorka, and Ice. Heck, the team was so shorthanded, Amari had to play 13 minutes. After the 7 point road loss to a ranked team, Geno said he’d never been prouder of a team and we Boneyarders were pretty proud of the Huskies’ efforts too
Hidalgo, when she is driving to the hoop, loves to throw herself into the defender nearest her and usually gets the beneficial whistle and goes to the line. Yesterday’s game was well officiated, and the refs didn’t automatically give her that call. I hope going forward they continue to let them play and not reward Hidalgo (or JuJu Watkins) for essentially charging into their defenders who have every right to be in their way.
So what. It doesn't belong here unless this forum starts talking about UCLA, USC, SC and more. It belongs on the General forum. Either this is UConn Boneyard our something else Nan.
“ unranked NC State” my buttocks. . NC State was a final four team. Snap shots of early season games are worthless.
Tennessee is an "atypical" team, and it was an "atypical" loss for
Maybe the Boneyard is the wrong board for you.
12 of State's FTs came in the final minute of regulation and the 2nd OT when ND was purposely fouling to try and come back. Outside of that the FT's were 14-10. Not the story of the game. State also leads the nation in fewest fouls per game. HH is notorious for being an aggressive defender and pressuring the ball and ND leads the nation in steals...probably means they are much more aggressive and foul more. State plays a much more soft style of defense and don't pressure the ball.
(u)NC and NC State are completely different schools. Nothing will chap the backside of a State fan more than someone confusing them with their hated rival UNC.
In the postgame Wes said they talked about fouling in the timeout and they "didn't get it done". So sort of implied James was supposed to foul there and didnt...
Nope, losing to TN is always the worst loss.
They missed that one. The foul should have been on Wesbeld (pretty sure it was her) who initially raked the State player across the face, then HH got the tie up and they all went to the ground. I didn't think HH fouled there, but Wesbeld certainly did.
OK. I’ll concede that NC State was a very good team by the end of last season, despite losing 7 games. But the same could be true for TN this year, which is why I consider UConn’s loss at TN to be “unfortunate.” But I would certainly not call it the “worse loss in many years.”
Well, we could call NC State Carolina
I think that her and Juju both jump into the defender almost every time they drive and almost never get called for a foul. My point is they benefit from the whistle way more than they are hurt from it. Problem yesterday is NCS took the ball to the hoop and ND had a difficult time defending at the rim.
I always liked Ines. Her getting the last minute invite to Connecticut was a "whoa that just happened!" moment. I also felt like she put in a tremendous amount of work in the off-season and came into her sophomore year really fit. Does anyone know how she's doing?
And UNC "Un-Carolina."Well, we could call NC State Carolina
It looks like Inês's minutes have declined a bit in the course of the season, but she's still part of the main rotation.
Exactly. We should be more respectful of how Courtney has turned that program around
NCSt had 3 players I thought were WNBA material in Rivers, James, and Brooks. They certainly looked that part when we played them. Minor upset at best.
ND has McGraw’s Bench. And yes, there’s a thread about the UConn-So Carolina game thereMuch of the top 10 have limited forums if anything at all.
Tenn is an exception.
Please get a life, if you don't see the nexus for almost all of us in regard to ND you are able like all of us to move on. Look at head-to-head matchups, rankings, rivalries and more. You want to stifle this thread, it seems the masses think not.
Has anyone explained the Ignore Thread option to you?
She's doing ok. Looks like she's started about 1/2 the games. 6.0 ppg. Shooting 39% / 38%. Second on the team in assists.
