Lou gets up gimpy.

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

UConn has three starters and Azurá on the floor.

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

Why shouldn't they be?

 

[HuskyNan]

UConn has three starters and Azurá on the floor.

That too.

49–14 at halftime verse a top 10 team. Stanford looks awful. Ratings for 2nd half will be awful too. What a shame WBB can’t keep up with UConn. Games like this aren’t worth watching unless you’re a huge UConn fan. No one else will watch a one sided game like this. Bad for WBB and it’s not UConn’s fault but it’s true. I turned it off. Get some competition. What a snooze the rest of the season is going to be for UConn.

Ratings will be high in Connecticut though!

The Ohio State legend Katie Smith in the house.

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

I think she has some work to do as the Liberty's head coach now.

 

[Centerstream]

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

Yep I see that but that wasn't the case when I started typing my post. I corrected myself in a subsequent post.

Need to see some frosh!

Careful what you wish for. Geno has seen enough. Get's Lou back in. I see more clearly why he
views Lou as the most valuable offensive (and maybe total ) player on the team. Everything just flows
better with her in the game.

Geno won't be happy with this 2nd half. Stanford is outplaying UConn in the 2nd half. Can't blame it on the bench either as the starters are playing majority of the minutes, with the exception of Napheesa.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kyla is in now

 

[HuskyNan]

Andra is in.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

AEH on the floor. Seems like she is the second freshman behind Walker that the staff trusts.

 

[HoopsFan21]

AEH is also in

 

[oldude]

too many missed shots

 

[HoopsFan21]

Coombs is in

 

[JordyG]

So how many consecutive layups can UConn miss?

 

[HuskyNan]

Nice pass to Z from Andra

 

[ASweet3781]

So how many consecutive layups can UConn miss?

Unbelievable. Stevens in particular is missing a ton of shots she should be making.

 

[bags27]

well, if I could choose between defense intensity and making shots, I'd certainly choose the former. The shots will eventually drop.

 

[Plebe]

Give AEH the assist?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I would have had this game end stronger. You can count on me for penetrating analysis like this.

 

[JordyG]

UConn actually lost the 2nd half.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Lexi is in now

 

[Plebe]

I think she has some work to do as the Liberty's head coach now.

Other WNBA head coaches have done commentary during WCBB season. Stephanie White, for one.
