Just adding my Crystal thoughts from the game thread

Ok, win/shmin, watching Crystal is worth it.

Crystal must be having out of body experiences with the OR and SC games last year.

 

[EdSaid]

I think Crystal received more high level coaching than any women's collegiate player ever. We've seen this photo hundreds of times, and her reaction was good. She became a great floor leader. And that will continue

 

[EdSaid]

Look at her eyes. She is locked in. Good kid. She is ready for the WNBA

 

[eebmg]

Reeves said she likes to use Sarcasm in her coaching. Crystal has her PhD in that style. Reeves is also talking to her alot on the sidelines like Geno did

 

[ABCDFE]

Go Crystal!

 

[EricLA]

What a tremendous game for her. Too bad Minny lost. They missed Sylvia. Still, not sure they would have won with her. Augustus and Williams were real difference makers off the bench, and LA shot a crazy 59% from 3.

Will be really interesting to see who sits when Simms comes back. Why was she suspended?

 

[da60]

Geno & staff should be very PROUD....REAL NICE KID as well.

And again, it should be pointed out how well Crystal played in all 3 of the top games we lost SC, Baylor and OR. In particular, her 3pt shooting in those games was 11-21. No fear. We are painfully aware that was not the case for all our Huskies.

 

[ShmiCO]

Crystal was definitely the highlight of this game for me. Watching her blow by Williams over and over and over was super entertaining. Pretty sure that lit a "yeah well I can score too" fire under Riquina.

I hate this! I've had to miss all the games this week because of that storm! I still haven't got power yet. Glad to get all these nice updates. Thanks to all of you. I'll wat h the Linx game first when I get the power back on!

When did Syl get injured? How did Odysee get suspended?

Syl "tweeked" her calf in practice. Missed a few games intermittently. Odyssey Sims suspended 2 games for DUI last year

 

[LCConnFan]

This is what MoJeff USED to look like! "Put me in coach, I'm ready to play....."

WOW! Looks like you can't be human and make a mistake, even from last year! Thanks 'eebmg' for the updates.

 

[eebmg]

Most impressive is that she had a tough first half. 1-8 (0-3 from 3) in first half but did not lose confidence and started the 3Q comeback. And this is far from the first time she had a tough first half but starred in the 2nd half.

Ah those freshman. They start out slow but finally get it
If she could only put both halves together..... Maybe Geno could give her a call before the game! ☻

I could very easily lose my job if I got a DWI, so I think a two game suspension is more than generous.

 

[JoePgh]

Did Crystal ever score 29 points in a game while she was at UConn? If so, I don't recall it.

Her career high was 26 — junior year vs. Temple.

 

[CL82]

Look at her eyes. She is locked in

Or terrified... it’s hard to say.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Proud of her. I was waiting for this; not if but when.

 

[bschwartz]

I am trying to accurately describe how badly she faked out Candace Parker on that long drive.
