First game thread of the season: UConn v. Stanford

[Tenspro2002]

Of course as soon as I say that, Nurse makes FTs and has a nice steal and layup.

Crystal Dangerfield for 3!!! 62-23 4:11 3rd

Crystal for 3!!!!!!!

Danger may be small, but she's got some BIG TIME range from the arc

Ah, the seasons first "Kia is awful" post

Tense matters. She's a good player who had been having a terrible game until 2 minutes ago.

Z comes in and the half court starts to get a little flow.

Kia's shot is a little off, as with several Huskies, but her defense has been outstanding

Kia has games where she’s awful. She’s proven to bounce back and play well overall though. I can’t see her making the WNBA but she is a tenacious defender. Outstanding in that respect.

I gave Chong no shot even after she was drafted. I’d be a terrible GM

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

 

[Shorty Dee]

Crystal "Danger" Dangerfield is having a good game, she is beating Stanford like she beat Baylor.

 

[oldude]

Clip of Danger walking on her hands. OMG!!!

 

[Kaizen]

Note: Lou and Z's ball handling just amazing ...

 

[HoopsFan21]

Megan on the board for 2!

 

[sarals24]

I would love to see the other freshmen.

She got 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal in two minutes? Wow!

 

[Kaizen]

Yes, Megan you can do it ....

 

[HoopsFan21]

Bent is in

 

[sarals24]

Molly in!

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...

There is a reason why freshman do not take over games at UConn generally. They have to learn how to play as a team on offense and defense. Teams like TN (and most programs) allow free lancing so talented kids can handle it but it only gets you so far. It wont be pretty when they face a UConn type defense and the coach actually has to do something clever.

I think Stanford has outscored us this quarter.

 

[HoopsFan21]

67-33 end 3rd

 

[JordyG]

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

 

[Vowelguy]

I think Stanford has outscored us this quarter.

Yes 19-18

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