Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 2052132, member: 7882"] Second half, Tulane was unconscious. I mean, everything was going in. That happens. And they hit their shots. Just a great performance. We obviously struggled on offense. And we turned the ball over uncharacteristically. Even then, we played tight D. They just kept fighting, finishing, getting offensive rebounds, and hitting crucial shots (including at or near the shot clock). All said, without Kia, Gaby quiet, Phees on the bench part of the second half, Lou still off (but at least finding ways to get to the line) ... and still found a way to hang on. I thought our defensive footwork was very good. They just kept throwing up shots, and they were dropping. What can you do? But for 2-3 of those shots (including that crazy punt by Vorpahl that banked hard, circled the rim and fell in) and our guys hitting their darn free throws), the margin of victory could easily have been 15. But it wasn't. Something to learn from and build on. And nice to see a scrappy dogfight by a deserving opponent. Good for Tulane. Good for UConn. Great for NCAAWB. [/QUOTE]
