Albany game thread

There was a certain crispness lacking in the 1st half. Like to see a strong 3rd qtr, then get the bench in.

Today, on offense Butler is not moving and in most cases she's setting up behind the Albany player. She's not playing Aggressive in the low post and making herself available to receive passes. She should be able to dominate in the low post and get open looks for layups due to her size advantage.

A few 1st half observations. As others have said, Albany is seriously underseeded. I thought we started out by playing a million miles an hour. Not unusual for the first time back on the court in the tourney after the layoff. Both of Saniya's fouls were questionable. Funny too because they let SO much contact go uncalled. Nat comes in and tries too hard. I think she will be fine when she settles down.

I blame it on the 11 AM start. Seriously.

Java, for a Neanderthal, you are VERY tech savvy. Nice work!

I was wondering if they skipped the shootaround this morning due to the early start.

May be Lou will have a better second half.

Ok, we need more assists and threes for Lou. Let's be sharp!

Yes to all of this. I am not too concerned about the miscues, because the energy is pretty darned good. Nat (if she gets minutes) will do better in the second half, otherwise good contribs from everyone on the floor for Geno.

Watching the fast break makes me think we should be the Thundering Herd.

Kia shooting well today

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia opens the half with a 3!!! 61-32 9:46 3rd

 

[oldude]

Kia's got the stroke today. That bodes well for the rest of the tournament

Wow, what a start to the 2nd half

 

[JordyG]

UConn starts out gangsta.

 

[MilfordHusky]

9-0 start in 1:08. Fast breaks and steals.

 

[TitleTown]

Don't blink you might miss UConn scoring.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nice play by Lou to steal the ball and get the bucket

We have our other 3-point sharpshooter back. Kia has become an elite shooter.

[connie]

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I am lucky I dont do Baskets in the Paint for Lous sister Karlies team. I would be exhausted.

Yep, we have 5 players running full speed with good spacing. It's a thing of beauty.
