UConn down 17-16 end of 1st quarter. Could have been worse considering how FSU is controlling the offensive glass and Gabby with 3 Fouls after 5 minutes.

Kia took 1 shot in 1st quarter. She has to be able to take and make more shots.

 

[Naples Husky]

We are not blocking any shots underneath.

 

[ThisJustIn]

It's early, but flashing back to 2005. Young team. Nerves. Not a lot of height.

 

[TitleTown]

UConn might not get an offensive rebound all year

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I swear that's Bria Hartley! Anyone else see her or am I wishful thinking?

 

[HoopsFan21]

C'mon Butler. This is year 3 on the team. She still looks shocked when the ball comes to her 5 feet from the basket.

 

[TitleTown]

Butler's hands are almost as bad as Amida Brimah's,

 

[HoopsFan21]

Crystal Dangerfield and Bent in, Crystal Dangerfield with her first two collegiate points, 20-19 6:30 2nd

 

[bags27]

Molly and Crystal. oh my!

C'mon gang. Enjoy the moment. There are little victories here. We all know this is a very rough draft of what we'll see in March and it will pale besides what the team will look like in 12 months. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Well, if Geno likes adversity he's got it.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier looks the most ready for the season so far. Everyone else is still waiting for #30 and #4 to run the fast break.

 

[Naples Husky]

I Natalie rebounding and shooting .

 

[xHunt3r]

There we go... nice break by Bent > Collier

They've started slow... trying to figure it out. Things are starting to flow now. Lets see if they can keep it going..

 

[alexrgct]

Obviously, Uconn has a lot to figure out this year, including forging an identity and learning who their go-to kids are on both ends of the court. Whatever happens, I believe in this team over the longer term, i.e., not just this season.

 

[magic]

Butler again !

 

[alexrgct]

Butler playing like Stef, as we predicted, seems to be materializing.

 

[iri10]

I'm OK with Butler so far, given that this is the first time she's been forced to play "serious" / "required" minutes in a game against a good team for UConn. She'll be needed a lot this year.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nicemove by Crystal Dangerfield, 4 pts for her, 26-22 4:12 2nd

 

[alexrgct]

Crystal showing nice early signs. Really nice.

 

[CBear01]

I swear that's Bria Hartley! Anyone else see her or am I wishful thinking?

It's Chloe Pavlech, the new grad assistant. replaces Jasmin L

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia in for Chong

Game is also on ESPN3

 

[Sluconn Husky]

This is why I wouldn't put UConn in the top five at the start of the season.

 

[Wbbfan1]

KLS is trying to do too much. Got to let game come to her. Thought UConn had the better starting lineup. I'm not so sure. Gabby having 3 fouls hurts. Kia has to do more.

 

[alexrgct]

I like how not shy KLS is being. Shooters keep shooting, an drivers keep driving.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Lack of depth rearing its head early.

 

[TitleTown]

Not playing like a smart basketball team

I don't think we have time to let the game come to any Husky. Scorers need to score.

 

[ThisJustIn]

KLS with 3 fouls... the frosh will have to lead.

 

[alexrgct]

Missing FTs could prove to be a big problem for this young Uconn squad.
