First game thread of the season: UConn v. Stanford

[Plebe]

What a feeling.Pheesa sitting with 4 fouls and not wringing my hands.

The huge difference between last year and now.

 

[HuskyNan]

Yes 19-18

If this were the old men's CBA, Stanford would've gotten 1 point!

Oh my goodness, the Huskies have no chance to make the Final Four!

Not directed at you, vg, just anticipating...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Mediocre quarter, which we lost 19-18. We're relaxing, and Stanford is hitting open jumpers. Plus, we're still missing FTs.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Lou's defense has improved so much; she does not slack off ... ever. Our inside game among the Trees in the 3rd quarter ... not so good. Get in quick or don't go in.

 

[oldude]

I'd like to see a good 5 minute spurt by the Huskies to start the 4th and then let's get a look at the reserves.

 

[MilfordHusky]

UConn actually lost the period. Z missed some bunnies and Lou clunked some 3's.

More missed FTs too!

 

[Centerstream]

Not our typical 3rd quarter, no dagger, no scoring run and pretty poor defense at times. But, hey, we are leading and look great for the most part!!!

 

[ochoopsfan]

Baskets in the Paint after 3
Farm 1-1-5 (7)
UConn 5-4-4 (13)

Someone let me know where the first half defense went?

 

[huskeynut]

Nice defense by Megan.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Crystal Dangerfield for 3!!! 70-33

 

[MilfordHusky]

CD33333333333333333333333!

 

[Plebe]

Dangerfield is en fuego.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Danger is flat out money on that 3 ball.

 

[bags27]

Geno's really keeping the score done, with Megan being the tallest Huusky on the court.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Geno will be happy with Crystal's scoring, but will also say she gave up as many points as has.

This is probably not the right time to bring this up.. But since It's halftime... I was bored yesterday and decided to watch the Exhibition game with Tennessee and Carson-Newman... Now.. even though Carson-Newman was severely over-matched... I was impressed by the 4 Tennessee Freshman. I think they were much much better than the players they lost the last two years.... Now.. they still don't play as a team... There was a lot of 1 on 1.. well it was basically 1 on 1... Talent will only get them so far...

Thanks for the heads up on Tenn. I just want to see some good teams worth watching besides UConn. I’ll check out the Tenn freshman

 

[mntncougar]

lots of points too many being given up right now. But in the paint, not Crystal's territory

 

[Centerstream]

I love how Stanford's top players are still on the court in the 4th qtr of a blowout...

 

[RockyMTblue2]

We look pretty ordinary now.

 

[sarals24]

I love how Stanford's top players are still on the court in the 4th qtr of a blowout...

Um, we still have three starters out there as well. And Z.

 

[HuskyNan]

I love how Stanford's top players are still on the court in the 4th qtr of a blowout...

I don't blame them. They need the experience.

 

[JordyG]

Well, Geno finally gives up on Walker and Molly at the 6 min mark of the 4th. Now UConn can play some hi/lo again.

 

[sarals24]

Need to see some frosh!

 

[Centerstream]

I love how Stanford's top players are still on the court in the 4th qtr of a blowout...

Oops...a couple of our starters are back in...

The Ohio State legend Katie Smith in the house.

I hope she'll be doing some TV commentary this year.
