I said after the first game that UConn has the best guard corps in the nation. And that was before Kayleigh and Allie had really turned on. I’d hate to be a coach breathing a sigh of relief when KK leaves and then seeing Heckel wreaking havoc. And UConn has KK, Ash, Allie, and Kayleigh all coming back next year.
yes, and also kelis, morgan, jovana.

a bit awesome.
 
What I saw is Sarah got away with an obvious foul against Bofelli at one end and the refs tried to fix it with a makeup call on Serah at the other end. Fair enough. But it meant Serah was in a hole not of her own making right from the start. When she committed a real foul a few minutes later, she had to sit. That wasn’t her fault. It’s the cost of inconsistent whistles.
While many of Jana's fouls are just her getting physical, some of Serah's the past few games were phantoms-i.e. in the replay, you say she didn't touch the other player. Not sure why this is happening so much. At least Jana is earning her fouls.

I couldn't disagree more.
If they were hosting a sports talk show, I would enjoy them. But announcing a quick-paced basketball game? I'll pass, thank you..
I agree that they should just announce the game. But those days are over!
Every game is sabotaged by nonstop conversation & irrelevant rhetoric by self- anointed "experts".
If we have to tolerate the studio style conversations, I prefer Fanta &Kim Adams with their knowledge & passion.
 
I luv how others besides Azzi and Sarah are starting to shine. KK, K9, Allie. Jana to me, has shown great improvement on rebounding and coming out on the perimeter to guard the 3ball and stil hustleback for boards. She seems to want to own the rebounds when she is in there. Maybe one of stat people can figure out how many rebounds per minute she has. She still hasn't topped the crossover dribble that she did against South Carolina from the foul line in the final 4 last year. I am waiting for her to top that.
 
Yes but how will Jana do against 6'6" Okot and 6'7"Tournebeze of SC or 6' 4" Cunningham and 6'6" Oldacre of Texas ? I have my doubts
 
I went to the game with a friend who is not generally a basketball fan. She started an interest last year when she saw how UConn passed and defended. This was her first in-person game.
She immediately noticed KK and Sarah. About Sarah, she said "It's like everything is moving fast, she's moving fast, and then time just slows down as she gets the ball and shoots".

Heckel was putting up triple-double-type numbers today. And in only how many minutes?

And how about Allie "Southpaw" Ziebell. Part of the Play of the Game (according to the announcers/producer).
Forgot to mention this. But Allie is very crafty around the basket. She is cutting well and often times drives to the basket in the most efficient line. I also like how she spaces herself when she catches and shoots the 3. No one mentions her basketball IQ, but she has a crafty, non sped up game to her.

4 fouls in 6 minutes is really bad for Serah. I guess she got in Geno's doghouse so she did not go back in. If she got her 5th foul, who cared. But it seems like after a good day before, you might give her more minutes to try to keep it going. But I guess he was sending her a message, if you can't stay in the game, we can rely on you. Shape up or else.

My take on Serah yesterday is that she started out the game aggressively, playing with more confidence after her last 2 games where she played well. Unfortunately, she was playing with a little too much agressiveness, committing several silly fouls. I am hoping that she finds that happy medium today between agressive and intelligent play.

For me it's the angle of Serah's arms that get those fouls. It seems like she can't help herself from breaking the plane of verticality with one of her arms and then the whistle comes. Jana just full out fouls which I almost like better since it reduces and 1s.
 
Serah...6 minutes, 4 fouls. Then Jana comes in, 2 quick fouls on her. Hmm. Something stinks and not either player.
Refs were paying attention to their scouting report.
I could be wrong, but I think Creighton was in the Bonus before the media break in the first quarter. I know it happened one quarter for sure.
But UConn didn't mind, we just played like UConn and all that kept me (most of us?) wondering was 1. how many points and steals that Sarah would get and 2. when would we get to 100.
Loved Caroline's 3!!!

Can we please use the game threads to discuss only the game in the thread title? There are many other threads to discuss matchups in the tourney

A bit of thread drift is normal in the Boneyard but some are going way too far off topic and annoying people that want to discuss the game
