Game Analysis - Game 5 - UConn vs Michigan

[Stagnant]

I think the game is pretty simple.

ultimately, Azzi will decide this game. Whether it is close. Whether Michigan can pull off the upset. It will all come down to Azzi.

UConn can’t afford one of those games where she starts the game by missing her first ten shots. That will allow Michigan to hang around and maybe lead… and then anything can happen.

I'm interested to see who Blanca subs in for, Ashlynn or Serah. I would like to see a front line of Serah, Sarah and Blanca if we get off to a good game on offense. I really think that Serah's B1G experience will help us against Michigan even though that didn't seem to be the case against Ohio State. I was expecting more minutes from her but I guess we didn't need them with the way Blanca played.

I also seem to have forgotten that K9 is a former member of a B1G team, which could prove helpful. I have not checked her stats other than the fact that they played Michigan twice.

I thought I caught a hint that Azzi was unwell (off her tucker, as we say in this part of the world) for the Ohio State game. Does anyone have any further information, or did I misinterpret something?

There's also a link to audio coverage of the games, a boon for those of us who live beyond the range of US TV coverage!

Unfortunately I've been asked to take photos at a function this afternoon (the game is at 1400 Saturday, NZDST (which is UTC + 13:00)) so I'll have to listen surreptitiously through my hearing aids linked to my phone via bluetooth. 😁 🤓🏀🏀

Go Huskies!

It's way quicker and neater to just toss a handful of bones and pick around in them. This is pretty tedious; it has no effect on the game.
OR we could say that Michigan has played a bunch of patsies, and UConn hasn't really been challenged. Once the Huskies figure out that the game is 4 quarters long and must be played to the end, they will be extra special.
As is: no one in the country can play with UConn until proven otherwise. Stifle yourselves, prognosticators.

You got that right ?

Interesting analysis from Geno. He said Michigan couldn’t handle UConn man to man, so there only chance was to go zone.
