She was already frustrated with the way the game was going.

The length of the court with just two dribbles!!!
So a block, a save, one dribble, a pass, one dribble, a pass, a layup.
That's why we are UConn fans!!!!

I don't think anyone continues to say Lou is only a shooter and if they do they have not been following UCONN basketball. Anyone who has been watching her the past season and a half knows she is much more.
This was a jaw-dropping and absolutely amazing 7 second sequence (yes, only 7 seconds). Each player touches the ball, each making a really good to exceptional basketball play. The 5 players work in perfect coordination. 7 seconds from the opponent shooting until we score. A block, an out of bounds save, 2 passes, and a contested shot and score. Even if it had been carefully choreographed in advance, it is hard to imagine it looking more elegant than it did within the flow of that game. I rewound the DVR and watched it several times earlier. Beauty in motion!! Perfectly summarizes why I watch this team. Nice OP, Connie!!

This play is an excellent example of why the "matchup" is so one-sided. One team, way more athletic to begin with, is busting it full bore, while the other transitions from offense to defense very slowly and shows zero urgency getting back, followed by shoulder-drooping frustration at the almost inevitable result.
Saw them play in person against each other twice last year, at XL Center (win 90, I recall) and AAC Tournament at Mohegan Sun. Noticed that the difference in speed and intensity between the teams is night and day. There will be nights against other (slower) teams when USF will look good, they do have skills, but we are a horrendous matchup for them.
Love how all five of our players were involved in this play and yet none had possession for more than a second or two.

Kia had a 1 on 3 and still made the basket and got fouled.
