A 11-1 run helps UConn at come back. Neither team gave up and had their runs. A good game.
15 FTs to 5, 17 fouls to 8 and worse before intentional fouls. the usual Big East UConn treatment. No shooting foul at the end!!!!!! Team fouls throughout screwing us over. Made the difference!!!!!!! Ackerman needs to be terminated! There’s no integrity of the game in her league. Zero!!!
Why do our centers defensively not protect the paint but rather end up on a guard 25 feet + from the basket? That is where you help out on defense not out by half court. Very illogical. Our centers are seldom in position to help teammates down low.
Our defense is very disappointing, not so much guys getting beat 1x1, but bad scheme and execution. Bigs overplaying guards on their backside 27 feet from basket, mindless switches rather than making effort to stay with best defensive matchups. Doubling the cold guy that leaves the hot guy open. Series of switches that leave a pg covering their center down low.
Offensively Ball, Stewart and Diarra played well. We need more paint points from the center position. Johnson is the most out of position player for a center playing way too far away from the basket unguarded, when he’s not a 3 threat.
Reed needs more minutes, but fouls are killing that. Mahaney and Karaban need to deliver more 3’s. Ball has to shoot more. Our offense still doesn’t seem to know who to go to where? Give Neal credit and Kalkbrenner changed the game in many ways.
One thing is clear we don’t pressure the ball handler except for Diarra so Creighton had ability to see the court and make good passes.
Let’s start petition to terminate Val Ackerman’s for lacking integrity of game.
