2nd half thread!

[speedoo]

CD is back and the offense improves. Stef is automatic down low, on her way to a double double.

 

[speedoo]

14-4 UConn run, starting the half.

 

[Icebear]

This is why I have insisted that CD' will be the PG and is critical to our success. It will be easier to swap KML and Bria than to remove CD'.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kelly to the line and makes 2. Her stat line is uncharacteristically low today.

2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 steals

Stef is awesome offensively but has a bad habit of setting moving screens.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Tiff with 13 points, Stef with 12 to lead.

Leading rebounders: Stef and KML with 7 each.

Yes, but at least she's not turning the ball over, as Bria is. Not one of Bria's good games.

does UCONN seem to be struggling on offense? i think most everyone thought we'd get well over 80, some predicting over 100. but we are on pace to score about 77 and with the subs starting to come in, we could be closer to 72-73. i can't see the game so anyone have comments on why the offense is struggling?

 

[MilfordHusky]

It is now a 9-0 run for HC and 19-17 in the second half.

 

[EricLA]

boy Geno and CD must be really disappointed in the team play today. i mean if he was t hat disgusted with our play against Pace, and we got KML and Caroline back for this game, to play like this - he must be frustrated.

Are we wearing white and blue?

The moving screen issue is in part the fault of the guards for not letting her get in place and for not cutting tight enough to her when she is.

Much of it has to with the constant shuffling of players in and out. We started both halves basically solid until the shuttle bus pulled up.

KML is trying to get in all her misses for the year.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Beginning to wonder if I believe what Geno and others have said that in practice Kelly is the best shooter.

lol i noticed that. also not a good game for Faris offensively. the announcers have said that most of faris' shots haven't even hit the rim.

 

[speedoo]

Heather is having her best game since coming to UConn. Rebounding, defending, scoring. Great to see.

 

[MilfordHusky]

MJ in the game.

On 3 pointers:

Tiff, Bria, and Caroline are 9-14.

Kelly and Kaleena are 0-8.

 

[MilfordHusky]

If she shoots 40% for the year, look for some big games in the future. I think November 21 would be a good time for 6-6 shooting.

the radio announcers also mentioned how active and good buck looks. that's a great sign.

She is playing very consistent to how she played against Pace with a step up in the quality of opponent and that is good to see. She is hustling everywhere.

So I just now got home to watch the game - and I see Kelly is 0-fer (and just put up a brick) and KML is 0-6 from 3 !!! What gives ???

Heather looks pretty good in the few mins I've seen

 

[MilfordHusky]

Tiff's stat line:

16 points
8 rebounds
4 assists
2 steals
2 blocks
3 TOs

Geno told KML she is only allowed to shoot 40% on the year so she is getting her misses in early. That or else KML is missing so tht Stanford thinks they can ignore her and then she will rain fire upon the enemy.

KML hit the front rim a lot.
