From the Cheap Seats

[LoboDays]

I’m at a loss to try and figure out what has happened to some of our players. It doesn’t matter who was on the court. They are all supposed to be high quality players or you don’t get to be on the UCONN Women’s basketball team. Losing tonight is not the issue. It’s understandable based on who was missing. But, you need to compete. You need to show us why you deserve to be in this program. Tonight was very disappointing.

They haven’t played that well - even with Paige this season. They need to improve or even at full strength there will be no net cutting again this year.

Butler and Xavior were supposed to be confidence builders. Maybe for them it was but I guess when you play teams that you could beat if you started the Mascot and two cheerleaders “confidence” can be fools gold.

Lose some games but just shows us that you want to be there or it won’t matter much when we get our injured players back.

Geez.

 

[LoboDays]

Geez.

Yeah..I know. I’m not over the Eagles blowing up yesterday.

 

[Zanzman]

Yeah..I know. I’m not over the Eagles blowing up yesterday.

Eagles fan…… that explains alot

Could be worse. You could be a Dallas fan.

Blasphemy

Yeah; I am lost also. Even with the injuries I did not expect to see them play as bad as they did yesterday. We had an overload of players at the start of the season. Then as of Monday we were down to eight.

Two guards
One small forward
Five post players

With Setan Hall coming up that will be a true test for these young ladies. I still think that they can run the Big East table. However, I don't see that against upcoming South Carolina and Tennessee. At least at this point. If Muhl and Westbrook start draining their three's or open shots then UConn can contest. Let's hope so.

Turnovers and an off shooting day explain this loss. Relax UConn is still a final 4 team.

I agree with you on almost everything, but we will not beat the top teams without PB. Dorks can definitely play better than she has recently. Her hand wrap is gone but she seems to lack hand strength on rebounds. I am not counting on until she plays well at this level.

Even if they improve, even if Paige & Azzi come back 100%, there won't be NCAA F4 net cutting.
Probably a Big East, perhaps a NCAA Regional but not the most important one.

It's not just the day, when did our beloved Huskies had such a bad shooting % (3 pointers), it's not 1 game, the season shooting is 13 games so far.

And those TOs get me on my nerves, must admit, the refs don't even whistle all the travels.

I'm rooting for Olivia Nelson-Ododa, think she's a great player, the best of "our" seniors- SHE is the silent assassin, doing a lot of things that most don't see - At the moment she fulfills the boxscore, great

Dorka, also, is a good player but for her like for ONO, what can you do when you receive the ball around never and when you receive it, it's not in a shooting way. But also admit at the moment she would need Velcro on her hands, can't receive a ball, can't catch one ...

TOs, passing issues, we need another PG to be ready if Paige is not and though routing for Europeans, Nika Muhl is not that guard, I agree she brings energy but after that ?

I must admit I am not a big fan of CW game but I also admit that it's when she's not here, you realise she's a need for the team. How much do I wish she was there yesterday I can't even tell ... Sorry Christyn, I was wrong about your game, but please improve the passing.

Evina, when will you wake up ? Homecoming game is not enough a motivation to excel or at least to try to ...

Oregon was a good lesson regarding the will to get back, from 0-10 to 26-14, they had a run, the kind Huskies usually make others suffer.

Oregon, I can't understand why they weren't ranked either AP or Coaches, they deserve it, they played great BB.

That was a loss, not a bad loss buta loss - That Oregon run (4-26) was a killing thing, never again please Girls !
