AGH! Typo...who is Aleena Mosqueda Lewis???? Come on ESPN. She has been around for awhile.

Amateurs among the champions!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Based on the rosters, team Kevin should win this one.

 

[EricSD]

FWIW I totally disagree with that starting lineup. That means no one off the bench is a post player. BUT Geno knows best and if that's what he wants (my opinion is that is our "best" team, but shouldn't be our "starting" lineup)...

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Wow!!

Projected starters

MoJeff
Stewie
KML
Tuck
Stokes

 

[johnnyc]

Seriously - they couldn't pull the cover off of the women's NC banner? Good grief didn't they practice that???

I don't think there was a problem I think it was done slowly for dramatic effect.

That is ESPN's talking heads lineup...not necessarily Geno's.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Wasn't Jasmine Lister that spark plug point guard from Vandy??

 

[HoopsFan21]

Wow!!

Projected starters

MoJeff
Stewie
KML
Tuck
Stokes

Yeah a little surprised about Tuck, but not really. Tuck is really good no matter where you stick her. She has the most well rounded game I think which is why she may be a starter despite not being in a traditional position.

 

[johnnyc]

Projected UConn starters per ESPN: Mo, Stewie, KML, Tuck, and Kiah.

Little bit different then from hearing it from Geno.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie facing her best friend Tuck in the opening tip.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Team Geno up 4-2

 

[HoopsFan21]

By the way for that poster that was worried about injuries, it's clear they are doing the same thing as last year in that people get out of the way in a scoring play. KML with a long long 3-pt bomb.

 

[UConnChapette]

Little Mo and Brimah mixing it up. LOL!

 

[EricSD]

Kiah Stokes for 3???!!! WOW!

 

[xHunt3r]

Stokes 3ptr? umm is she going to make that all year?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Does anyone know where the refs come from? Are they real refs?

 

[j66kicker]

Kiah with black headband. Headbands OK if same color as hair?

 

[UConnChapette]

TLaw for 3333333!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kiah Stokes for 3???!!! WOW!

Big year for Kiah incoming. Seriously. Was that a TLaw 3??

 

[UConnChapette]

Nurse scores!

And again...no fear, going in against the trees with the Y chromosomes!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Come on Court you gotta take that. Nurse with a nice score.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kinda weird not seeing Stef and Bria out there.

 

[UConnChapette]

So far have only seen Nurse and Mo willing to take it to the rim. Courtney just did as well.

 

[UConnChapette]

Oh boy....Nurse is going to be a good one. It is going to be fun to watch her for the next four years.

 

[HoopsFan21]

This game is clearly for entertainment purposes only...

 

[HoopsFan21]

23-19 Team Kevin at half (10-minute halves?)

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nurse and Edwards are both fleet of foot, Ekmark not so much. I think it's clear that Ekmark is more of a wing/forward whereas Nurse could probably play three positions.

 

[UConnChapette]

Mo with the alley oop to Rodney Purvis for the dunk! Sweet!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Gabby Williams playing..I'm shocked.

 

[UConnChapette]

Kia Nurse already looks like a floor general. I cannot wait to see her in real game action.
