DePaul Game Thread

I'm getting very tired of the phrase "DePaul Ball."

 

[VAMike23]

I think our guards need to put it on the floor in anticipation of all this trapping and draw some DePaul fouls, get to the line. That negates the pace for one thing and might get a couple of their hot shooters to the bench

 

[Sluconn Husky]

DePaul playing like angry hornets and UConn has still not upped the intensity.

 

[VAMike23]

Great charge-take by Mo !!

 

[huskeynut]

Nice play by Moriah to get the charge.

 

[TitleTown]

Lets see if the new TO rule helps get us a bucket here.

But it's Lachina saying it so I'm willing to be flexible

44-41 half

 

[huskeynut]

44 - 41 UCONN at the half

 

[BearJWS]

DePaul came to play. And I'm liking it....

 

[Sluconn Husky]

They call a TO with 3 seconds left and on the subsequent play Collier acts like there was 30 seconds left and nothing happens. Reminds me of the end of the Stanford game.

Is that Jessica January on DePaul any relation to the WNBA player Briann January?

 

[HoopsFan21]

terrible defense and sloppy w/the ball on offense

 

[Storrsbred]

Just saw Gabby jogging....

She looked tired on that play.

 

[VAMike23]

1,352 shot-feet for DePaul in the first half.

:-O

 

[TitleTown]

Can't you advance in the last minute of each half? Or is it just the last minute of the game?

 

[VAMike23]

She looked tired on that play.

Sure did

 

[huskeynut]

DaPaul 9 - 17 from 3. Don't see this last the entire game.

BTW, UCONN is 6 - 12 from 3.

DePaul playing like a top 5 team we've been waiting to see from the rest of WCBB. Great game for them SO far. I really don't think it's somuch what we're doing wrong but what they're doing right. Have we turned the ball over? Yes, But DePaul's D has been outstanding. Great energy deep bench.

I thought it was just last minute of the game.

Not a seasoned Husky watcher but from inside the arena seems more like DePaul is just incredibly hot from 3 than UCONN is playing all that poorly.

DePaul would be up double digits on most teams if they produced this kind of performance.

That's what it looks like on TV too. Unlikely DP stays that hot from 3, but if they do....?

Geno will make the necessary half time adjustments. DePaul is outhustling us and playing with a lot more intensity. They're all over every inbounds and loose ball. They've stolen two inbounds passes, and we're lucky it's not more than that.

Wow - what a game! Good for Depaul - with the huge talent gap you have to admire how they are taking it to UCONN. I hope it's a great lesson learned for the team! #lessonslearned

I don't think Depaul can plzy a better 1st half. But, still losing ! Right now, Saniya making a case !

 

[Wbbfan1]

Geno get your players to slow down and when the player with the ball gets double teamed other players have to help them. No Cross Court passes that are leading to TO's. Masterful game plan by Bruno, Mass Substitutions like Kentucky used to do. Difference is there doesn't appear to be a drop off in talent. With the frequency of DePaul's substitutions I think they can keep this pace up. Unless they start missing shots, this is any teams game. Do expect UConn to win the game.
