Duquesne v. UConn — Game Thread

[JordyG]

Crystal needs to make a shot. Her confidence is starting to suffer. Nevertheless, 54-22. Ouch.

Sarcasm for everyone that says something when Collier misses

Ah, sorry. Didn't catch that

Geno always walks off the court like the weight of the world is on his shoulders.

That half of basketball, overall, is more like I've been expecting from this team. Of course, Duquesne is less talented than most teams UConn has faced this year, so...

Baskets in the Paint at the Half
Dukes from Pitt 2 + 4 =6
UConn 6 + 6 =12

Did Gabby play all 20 minutes of the first half? She seemed to be dragging herself back to the locker room. She was the last one to go back.

I’m guessing MW is still a little under the weather since we haven’t seen her in the 1st half

 

[JordyG]

By the way y'all, this here is so far a worsest whuppin' than the last time these two played.

He is familiar with most of the WCBB forums. He actually posts on the the Duquesne one occasionally answering fan questions. Here is their thread for this game: Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum » The Dukes face Goliath, The Mighty UConn Huskies

Actually a pretty cool place. Haha, before-the-game prognostication included predictions of whether they'd lose by 35, etc., but interspersed with optimism. Then that thread turned into their game thread. One post: "The first quarter was ugly."

Yeah and for sure. Last game it looked to me anyway that Lou ran out of gas early against Okla.

 

[Husky fanatic]

This is fun. Everyone contributing and meeting almost everyone’s expectations.

What they do with the little window that King Clancy and Harold Ballard used to watch the Maple Leafs games from? I cant find a photo anywhere.

We sometimes like to talk about point spread and probability as applied to the Huskies. I have to wonder what the probability is that UConn squanders a 32-point halftime lead to Duquesne, or anybody else.

Fairly minimal, I would guess.

Crystal with 6 assists already and some real pretty ones. She is sending the ball and hitting players like a QB.

You would have caught that last year Nan

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

 

[BigBird]

She isn’t getting points for herself at this moment. She is assisting others as they get points. There is more to her game than shooting.

If I did, I didn’t mean it. ;-)

 

[HuskyNan]

Duquesne made some nice half time adjustments. Let's see how the Huskies adapt

 

[JordyG]

Errrr...Crystal?

KLS for 3!!!! 57-26 7:09 3rd

 

[HuskyNan]

You would think they'd have figured out Lou needs to be defended
