2:15 into the half, we score. 55-8. Lethargic at the moment. Then Gabbulous makes a steal and goes coast to coast.
 
Mo with a nice pull-up in the lane with the shot clock winding down.
 
.-.
74-13 after 3. Look for the starters to rest.

Will this game help us prepare for OSU at all?
 
Great passing leads to a layup for Napheesa.

81-13. I think we need 82 for FREE wings.
 
.-.
Mo makes a steal and goes coast to coast. Then she almost makes another against the sideline with a behind-the-back pass.
 
Final: 98-18.

Who looked good? EVERYONE.

Who looked best: Stewie, Moriah, Gabby, and Napheesa.

Can hardly wait to see the Replay of this game.
 
Phee has a great work ethic. Poor Vanguard though. I mean I suppose they could always just get on the plane and forget this ever happened.

We had 22 steals and 10 blocks. It was VERY one-sided. If we had run the entire game, we could have had 130+.

Yep. She's still learning and may not be in UConn shape yet, but she makes things happen, just like Gabby.

The announcers thought she looks like a smaller version of Kiah Stokes. I can see the comparison.

Yeah a lot of her misses are short. Gonna have to work on that upper body strength but I think she will get progressively even better under the coaching @ UConn. She definitely has the effort part down.

She uses her length well and is disruptive on defense. She shoots FTs well, though her form is unorthodox in that she doesn't bounce the ball at all before shooting. Whatever works. She's SMOOTH.

KLS hasn't been able to throw it in the ocean yet. Think her shooting is going to be more hit-and-miss than KML's, and not just based on these two games.

Gonna be very interesting to see the minutes distribution against Ohio St.
 
Pts/Rebs/Asst
Collier: 15/11/2
KLS: 9/7/3
Ekmark: 7/2/3
Moriah: 20/1/4
Stewie: 15/6/4
Kia: 11/1/1
Gabby: 11/5/0
Tuck: 10/6/5

Congrats to Gabby!!! I am liking what Gabby has done and she made the most of her time, as usual.
Katie Lou Samuelson WILL find the range. Some Freshman like nerves coupled with not having played most of the summer account for some misses. Geno is truly the MASTER --unlike some coaches we've seen, he says to his shooter Shoot no matter how many times they missed. A most memorable one is DT in a Final 4 against ND--missed 15 3's. So Geno knows, what some coaches don't know, is when the end of the year comes around she'll be bombing with accuracy--so good she's going to be called the 8th Air Force of UConn. e

Well she can't possibly continue to shoot 21% from three one wouldn't think. The fact that nearly all of her shots have been three attempts is a bit more disconcerting. She's not involved in the offense yet. Don't think she's ready to be in the starting lineup against quality competition. Probably gonna be Williams which would've been my last guess a few months ago.
 
2 freshmen combined for 24 pts and 18 rebs ..... very good performance
