Duquesne v. UConn — Game Thread

Congratulations UConn Huskies!! Kia had and outstanding homecoming, she had 24 points and the fans were glad to have her home. Lou was on fire...she had 33 points. UConn hit the century mark a second game this season and year.

I pray Batouly will be fine, she had the knee brace on again. Hopefully, she will not have to redshirt. If Megan was still under the weather, I pray she feels better soon.
 
I saw a shot of Meg on the bench toward the end of the game. You could see in her eyes that she isn't quite over the flu yet. Trick I learned as a medic when I rode the ambulance back in the 1980's. When the eyes look dull you ain't right physically.

By the way anyone notice that the announcer pronounced Geno's last name as "Remmia"? Anyone notice that Lou increased the arc on her shots just a bit?

Yes, I noticed the same thing on Lou’s shot. I think it makes a big difference in accuracy if she releases a high arcing shot vs a flatter shot. She must have gotten a call from her dad.

Maybe they read his name as Au Remmia and thought it was French for "to the Remmia" or something.

On the high/lo Geno also moved Pheese off the high and put Lou in that spot. I'd mentioned before that Pheese was struggling there often being content to take the long 2.

Duquesne hitting threes like it's DePaul

Many teams, whether they are good or bad, seem to do that to UCONN in the fourth quarter when UCONN has a big lead. It's like they can't miss and some of them are from far out. However, ND surely did not do it. They crack down when the game is close.

Player of the Game: Katie Lou Samuelson!!!!!

I don't understand why so many people think KLS is so good. She missed two shots tonight. Two shots. Man, that could have cost UCONN the game. She has GOT to do better than that! 33 points?? If she had scored more the game would not have been so close. Keep her on the bench.

33 points to match her uniform number and the number of seasons Geno and CD have coached.

There was also a play late in the game when Lou caught a pass and drove the baseline, but rather than trying to make a layup she fired a pass to Kia at the arc who nailed a 3.

Lou was probably afraid she’d miss her 3rd shot of the game so she passed instead....
 
I think uconn played there most complete game of season.

As I've said 190 times Kyla can play. Happy for her today.

KLS best player on team when she wants to do it all. What a game. She's clearly an amazing dynamic kid.

Defense was solid, led to countless breakaways.

Kia was great a nice homecoming.

Justine was on her game. She's must have loved being in cold Canada a few days before xmas ha. Great interview with kias dad, completely ignored the mom ha.

From the game right into the Geno show. It was a good birthday gift for me!!!

Liked Kyla's effort tonight.

6 things I took away from this game:\\

1, Kia got to play in front of Family and Friends, and played with Glee\
2. Kia Got 24 points---Great emotional performance
3. Katie Lou was on fire with 33 from at least 8 3's
4. Geno played ALL frosh except Walker . This was the one I was looking for--they didn't drop the score but increased Great for the kids Great for Geno## Win Win Win
5 G reat under the basket defense and offense by Kyla Irwin, Coombs looked like the player many touted, Alexi PLAYED (yipeee)\W
6 We owe a debt of gratitude to the Canadian Duchane (?) Coaches and Team, played well, didn't give up and were gracious in the loss--the Coach actually hugged Geno

Our Canadian cousins--did Kia proud, they cheered loudly for a Uconn team some never heard of---nice arena, super nice people.

Did you notice the high arc most of the Canadian's (from Pennsylvania or Europe) shot the long ball? That is the way I was taught to shoot it.
If Dad made that call--send him a pocket full of nickles for the phone.

Finally a voice not whittling in the wind. Katie lou isn't so good. Louzy on shootin, louzy on offense, louzy on running the floor. I demand Geno keep her seated for the next game. (signed a Memphis fan).

Yes. She looked pretty good. I am really pulling for this kid.

All the frosh that played looked pretty darn good, Molly and Kyla had good nights---With the blossoming of the Frosh--each looked very good--the PT of Molly and Kyla now more than ever is determined on their practicing and skill improvement. As a TOTAL UCONN game, every member contributed --Geno must be a bit happy in this performance.
 
Missed the game last night because I had to work (yuck!). Tried to catch parts on my WatchESPN on my phone, but really tough when in a "customer service" position. Just finished watching the replay on BY. Most Excellent Game... pretty much in All Phases. This game showed some of the best of the Huskies...and why they are ranked #1. Way to early to talk about AAs...but the performances by some of our Players showed why they deserve to be included in that kind of discussion.

I wonder why Kia's mother was completely ignored. There must be a good reason.

I thought she was going to ask her a question but never did. Kinda weird. Maybe she's camera shy.

Generally reporters ask if you want to talk and some people decline. Perhaps Kia's mother said no, I'll let my husband do the talking for both of us. Sometimes the reporter expects to come back to a couple and the director will say no, lets move on, often because of time constraints.

Great Response, thats most likely true. They must be so proud of all there kids. How amazing Kia's Brother is a pro Hockey player, and Kia will be WNBA next year.

The great State Of WEST Virginia--a few years ago put out a map showing everything West of the Alleghinies (sp) as French Territory from north Georgia to the New France border. There are ruins of forts along the juncture of Va and Wva to fight off the French and Hurons.
Thanks for nice words on the summary--I enjoyed every thing about that game/process.
