I am probably speaking too soon, but the "second unit" looks better tonight.

For anyone who missed it: At half, KLS said, "Coach has my back, and I have his..."

Pheesa and Gabby have missed 3 shots apiece tonight. Lou has missed 4. We're falling apart.

So funny to watch Geno's facial expressions during the game. If you just went by that you'd think they were losing.

I think Geno & Mike Kryzewski should have a frowny-face contest. It would be epic.

Thanks! I wanted to see that, but ESPN3 cut away.

Nice rebound by Bent to Butler with the baseline jumper 79-32 6:09 4th

Refs must have a dinner reservation. No foul calls at all now.

Yes to both notions. ;-)

47-point lead has been cut to 39. ECU is playing hard and we're getting sloppy.

Geno just complained about getting outscored in the 4th quarter---it's gonna happen again.

You spoke too soon...

The problem with getting outscored in the 4th quarter (or playing it basically even) is that it really exposes how weak UCONN's bench is when they are in for the most part together. You have 4 of them and 1 starter, or 4 of them plus Tierney, and the offense pretty much grinds to a halt. I KNOW we all want Molly, Kyla and Tierney to earn minutes with the starters, but they just aren't there...

Kyla 1/2 FTs

And people wonder why the bench doesn't get more minutes against Maryland. They can't consistently beat the ECU's and UCF's of the world.

At least tonight it will be because all the starters are sitting. But no doubt it doesn't matter to him.

2 more for Butler, season high 10 pts

Kyla with a foul line jumper

I still contend they look better.

No, that does not mean it is great, but improvement is a good thing.
