Good opportunity to sit Gabby for the remainder of the game, I think.

Lexi was at the table about to come in, so I expect gabby then be on the bench come 4th

Lexi in now

 

[MilliniumPrince]

out today due to ongoing issues with shin splints, If this were a big game, I'm sure she'd be playing

Thanks. Feared that. I am sitting in the nose bleeds today and no one up here had any info.

I like that Geno is giving Lexi some time with the starters

 

[ochoopsfan]

Baskets in the Paint After 3
Joe Morgan 2 + 5 + 4 = 11

UConn 6 + 0 + 12 = 18​

yup I guess Kia and Napheesa need extra work against a good defense

84-40..any reason for Gabby to be in the game?

You can make the same observation for having any of the starters in at this time. The problem then, you have all the bench players in at once. This then raises the concern that your bench players need time to blend in with the starters. So there is more to it in Geno's mind. But I agree 100%, Gabby looked gassed and it is not worth it to have her in.

Surprised Meg isn't in at the start of the 4th. Geno is making quite a few points today.

Their presence helps steady the freshmen

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kyla in for Kia

 

[hoopingcrane]

Decent minutes, good defense by Z in Q3.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Gabby is the best player in the country.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier having a great game as well

 

[Mdoggie]

Gordon looks lost on offense.

 

[HoopsFan21]

How many bench points today?

 

[Mdoggie]

Gabby is the best player in the country.

Best athlete

 

[hoopingcrane]

Z two consecutive blocks.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Is that Batouly without any knee braces? Can't tell since the announcers don't find it important enough to tell us who is coming into the game

 

[HuskyNan]

Gordon looks lost on offense.

Lexi has played 43 minutes before this game this season

 

[oldude]

Clearly Z got the message

 

[HuskyNan]

Is that Batouly without any knee braces? Can't tell since the announcers don't find it important enough to tell us who is coming into the game

Yes it is. They mentioned it when she checked in at the scorers table

 

[hoopingcrane]

Z with real wide post ups for two baskets.

 

[hoopingcrane]

Make that three in row for Z.

 

[Charliebball]

she's got the patellar tendonitis strap on which according to my daughter's knee guru actually makes the problem worse

 

[oldude]

Nice shot by Batouly
