Wow nice drive by Gabby, 12 pts for her a career high

Looked just like Cash on that drive.

Is Gabby's 10 a career high?

TLaw and Polly in now after the TO!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Love TLaw and Polly. They work so hard.

 

[HoopsFan21]

TLaw 3 no good, but Gabby with a one handed rebound puts it in. 98-64 Final.

LOL caught it one handed, shot it one handed.

Perhaps my favorite stat:

Kia 3-3 on FTs.

Gabby 2-2 on FTs.

Good job, ladies!

So 14 was a career high.

Gabby is going to be great. Like I said in a couple of years this team is going to be ridonkulously good when the KLS-Boykin-Collier class is sophomores. Every year we say this is the best UConn team ever, but I think the best is yet to come. The '15 class is going to be Geno's pinnacle I think.

UCONN just beat a team by 34 that should have beat ND, if it had made a few foul shots. This UCONN iteration is a pretty fair team. Just sayin'.

With lots of new parts, a nasty away setting, and abysmal officiating, they barely lost an early season game to a Stanford team that has since shown its stripes.

This is a special group that is going to amaze us, moving forward.

Yea thiis is kind of like our rebuilding year.

Moriah needs to stop shooting threes and go back to driving to the basket. Saniya can't stop shooting because she misses a shot. Breanna was a force, even though she continues to get pummeled. Great game by Gabby. Can't help but look to next year's team: Breanna, Moriah, Morgan, Kia, Gabby, Natalie, Katie Lou, Napheesa, De'Janae,
Saniya, Courtney. Breanna, Moriah, Morgan, Kia and Natalie start. Gabby, Katie Lou, Napheesa, De'Janae, Saniya, and Courtney come off the bench. Those should be some incredible practice teams. Can UConn be ranked #1 and #2?

Your right.....watching Gabby tonight I started thinking about future teams and wow the future is bright but then I remind myself the current team is great and enjoy it. Lol.

The Myth of Inadequacy: The story every one of us tells ourselves about not being enough. Kia (on Geno's show) just related that she wasn't sure she was great.

Fortunately, she is mentally strong enough to have not played 'as if' she wasn't great.

And now we all know how fortunate we are to be able to watch the growth of a most special player for four years.

 

[BigBird]

Kia has more "cool" on and off the floor than any freshman I can recall. How can you not like this kid?

Intp, what she said was she didn't know if she was good enough to play for UConn, but her parents reassured her that UConn doesn't take just anyone. Wouldn't want those without access to SNY thinking she used the word "great" about herself. That being said: Could not agree with you more! This kid's moves inside are terrific - she finishes, her court savvy grows by the game and her 3 is consistent enough to pull people off Stewie and her passing is getting sharper too. What is not to like. Oh yes, she could be our next lock down defender.

Last year I remember Moriah hitting a bunch of 3 point shots at a high shooting percentage and I think Geno probably wants her to continue shooting them because she's capable of making them and it would only open the middle to drives and make this team better. Why she isn't having more success with that shot is surprising.
