If you're lucky, maybe she'll replace Geno when he retires!
So I guess you're saying "never say never"! Well, I'm inclined to think that it definitely won't happen this year (if people here on the Boneyard are right about this team) because you did see that pitiful performance they had earlier this year against a South Carolina team that struggled mightily themselves. I do know that we had a lousy performance ourselves with Stanford but it wasn't nearly as bad as what I witnessed a couple of weeks back. Then too, there have been a bunch of people who have questioned Duke's star, Ms. Williams, so why should I or others expect an appreciably better Duke outcome this year?
I'm a Joisey boy; badabingbadaboom.
I think, to a great extent, UConn plays the same against everyone. Geno gives them a checklist of things to accomplish and even in blowouts, they typically stick to the script and perform extremely well. They have a tendency to play an opponent one possession at a time and they strive to win every one of them. Obviously it doesn't happen but that's what they work to accomplish and that's what makes them a 9 time National champion (and counting). Once in a great while, they need to get a kick in the teeth and they've already had that kick (against Stanford) and they aren't likely to forget it anytime soon. I'm quite confident!
Awww, poor TDF.If THEY are lucky ? You mean if we are lucky
I thought, "Past performance is no guarantee of future success" only pertains to the Stock Market. You mean I have something else to worry about??!!
We have been waiting for Duke to give us a good game for a long time. They don't have the guard play. I wasn't one of the kook aide drinkers re the Stanford game. Vs SMU we were up 40-5. They had a little let down and Stewie was 1 for 10. Geno mixed up the line up most of the game with regularity. SMU was a great looking post Christmas tune up. Kiah will play as needed. She could find her playing time diminished by Gabby pretty soon. One of the main reason we have been great since Stanford is more Morgan Tuck, and less Stokes. Our offense runs with and thru Morgan like Stef. 5 players can beat you on offense at any time in so many different ways. Even Gabby has been making great interior passes and passes into the post.
No - we'll kind of dominate them by 2nd half! No fear. Not great guards. Young great talent. We are becoming dominant- again!
Even Tony wouldn't predict a win by 36 points!
I say close for the first 10 minutes or so, then we pull away for the usual 20 or so point win.
I just want to say that Tuck is a better shooter than 4 of 21 and tonight might be the night you see her show it. Stewie is also someone who is a bit of a streak 3 point shooter so that actually could be a bad omen for the Dukies. We shall see but I'm inclined to think we'll see a 74-53 type game in favor of our Huskies. Our scoring will be a little down but I'm sure not expecting a lot of production from the Blue Devils. I'm inclined to think our defense is finally gelling and they'll have major issues putting the ball in the basket.
I'm not predicting it but I wouldn't be stunned if that score was pretty darn close. I think it'll be somewhere around 76-53 but a few more stops, a few fast break baskets off of turnovers, who knows????
When we play a big team, or when the other team starts scoring inside, or controlling the boards, you won't be putting Gabby in before Kiah. Kiah changes all those things in our favor immediately.
If the game starts with Uconn getting beat up on the boards, you will see plenty of her tonight, just like the Notre Dame game. She will play when needed to help put the
I like the way Gabby calls for the ball when she posts up, got to like this kid.
