Albany game thread

[Tenspro2002]

Good to see Kia break away ahead of the pack for 2. A few weeks ago she couldn't do that.

Eric Friede gets to call the game for ESPN. I guess he's on loan from SNY.

I'm sure Frede has a contract with SNY just to do UConn games, but is free other wise. I doubt he is an exclusive SNY employee.

Ugh about getting Dan Hughes.

 

[HuskyNan]

Hughes has been good. He's clearly done his homework

 

[Vowelguy]

Eric said Lou is playing in front of her home fans. Had I known the game was in Huntington Beach I would have gone there.

UConn is her home now.

This is one of those games where Pheesa can score 30

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Foolish foul by Albany's key player. 4th quarter yes. 1st quarter no.

 

[Vowelguy]

UConn in zone early?

 

[connie]

Great pass from Saniya to the Phees in the low post

Huskies look a little bit rusty, but shaking off the cobwebs.

 

[JordyG]

Like many teams Albany is attempting to take Lou out of the game. Geno has too many weapons however for that to work. Now ladies, let's play a little more defense. Did I say Hughes is making some nice observations?

 

[Kaizen]

Chong can do all those little things ...yes

 

[Jimbo]

UConn shooting 7-for-9 in the early going, and they have offensive rebounds off of both misses. Only real blemish so far is the 4 turnovers.

 

[HoopsFan21]

20-9 4:25 1st

I would love to hear Dan talk about his experiences with Mo in the WNBA for the Stars
Maybe not appropriate but I would like it.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Perimeter defense is still a problem for this team.

 

[oldude]

too early for Lou

 

[HoopsFan21]

too early for Lou

It's 8 am Huntington Beach time

 

[magic]

Committee so full of crap . We have seen Albany enough to know there is no way they are a 16 seed !

 

[HuskyNan]

Perimeter defense is still a problem for this team.

Are you talking about the prayer that kid heaved up as the shot clock was expiring? She was three feet behind the line.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Crystal Dangerfield in for Chong 24-12 3:01 1st

 

[connie]

Albany is doing a good job of breaking the press

 

[Vowelguy]

wow Pheesa

 

[Tenspro2002]

That might have been the best defended of all of their shots. Make or miss, we're giving up a lot of open looks from deep.

 

[connie]

Nice steal by Phees and just a lovely finish.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 31-14 1:47 1st

 

[TitleTown]

OMG gabby!

 

[oldude]

Starting to get out of hand for the Great Danes

 

[iri10]

Ha. There were some pretty pedigreed teams on the OOC schedule this year who wish they could have scored 16 in the 1st against us...

 

[Tenspro2002]

Even though we've opened up a considerable lead, I don't think Geno will be too pleased about the defense.

We're on pace to give up almost 70, and that doesn't include a number of open shots that have been missed. Betters teams will make those.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Butler in now

Can you PLEASE let us enjoy a 20 point first quarter lead before complaining?
