I would go zone and force them to make jump shots

Kia for 3!!! 46-24 half

 

[JordyG]

The announcers note how Saniya was "exposed" defensively off the dribble, but both she and Kia are getting beaten.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Geno looks like he is trying to find a ref to jaw on.

 

[HuskyNan]

Why are they overplaying the perimeter and getting beat on so many back cuts when ECU has done nothing from the outside?

How many times have we seen some freshman or walk on that never shoots threes make 4 or 5 from ther perimeter? Gotta guard them

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nice play to end the half.

Honestly guys, if UConn plays a team like Mississippi State, this is what they're to expect. The refs can't call every foul and by the last quarter the refs will just stop calling anything.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Geno: When they foul on every play you can't keep calling them. But you have to deal with it.

 

[EricSD]

Nice run to end the quarter. Down 11-4 in the 2nd quarter, the outscored ECU 14-4. I'm quickly realizing I don't like ECU much. Overly physical play has no place in WCBB. Someone could get injured...

And I disagree - the refs CAN call every foul, and should do so until the other team stops fouling, or runs out of players.

I don't think you'll see that in a game like this. They want to work man to man on this type of team.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Is the box score correct? UCONN has scored 4 points in 7.5 minutes in the 2nd quarter??

Yeah, we sucked for 7 minutes, then worked our way out of it.

Lou in particular is getting beaten up. Reminiscent of earlier in the season. She has to play through the rough stuff.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Physical game. But once Pheesa left the floor the team stopped scoring. Lou is ice cold tonight.

Yeah, Nat came in for Pheesa and things slowed down a lot.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yep, overly physical play by ECU. Lou, in particular, is getting mugged.

 

[oldude]

Triple-double watch for Gabby. She needs 1 rebound and 4 assists in the 2nd half.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Factoid from ESPN:

"Since joining the American Athletic Conference prior to the 2013-14 season, the UConn women are 58-0 in conference play. The Lady Huskies have won all 58 games by 15 points or more."

Also, we haven't trailed at all in the past 9.5 games--since KSU led 4-2.

A one-player bench isn't helping things. ECU knows they can wear UConn down a bit with constant traps and physical play.

The FG % for ECU looks wrong. I know they made a bunch in the second, but they were at 22% through the first.

yes it's correct, just reported by SNY at 50% for the half. The Pirates made everything in the 2nd.

 

[Blue Huskie]

I'm still ticked that the refs didn't stop play and check that flailing arm into Katie Lou's cheek. It looked pretty red after that play.

 

[oldude]

Glad to see Gabby with a mouth guard today

Looks like they were 3-10 q1, 7-10 q2. They were at 22% before their last fg of q1

 

[Blue Huskie]

Another example - too slow on the whistle there

 

[MilfordHusky]

yes it's correct, just reported by SNY at 50% for the half. The Pirates made everything in the 2nd.

Wow! A basket or a TO.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Good 4-0 start to 3Q.

 

[JavaMan]

Gabby just needs 4 assists for a triple double.

Okay now 3.

​

Okay now 2.

 

[Naples Husky]

Glad. That Gabby is playing with a mouth piece .Earlier I thought she had a swollen upper lip.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 53-24 7:46 3rd 999 career pts for Kia!
