You were right, @cferraro04. Scott did end up covering Paige much of the time.

Seemed to make sense...boy that third quarter was a nail-biter. I think UConn is in a good place right now. There are things to work on but all in all Geno has to be happy.

Rowdy, what are you talking about? Of the nine Huskies averaging double digit minutes, six of them are shooting above 50% and one (Shade) is at a respectable 44%! The only two who are below what one MIGHT expect are Fudd (who, going into today, has only played two games recovering from an injury) and Cheli (a freshman). Overall the team is shooting above 50%.

Sheeesh.....

that's true ... but the number of wide open looks outside the paint -- and to the team's credit they've been numerous -- are not being drained at a rate that should expected. also, they have made many shots on the inside (layups, putbacls, gimmies that of course boost shooting percentages). so far (pre-OLE MISS), the only husky doing well from the perimeter is, of course, paige (i do not expect anybody to meet her standard BTW)

People are aware Ole Miss is a ranked team, right? They’re #18. Some people are acting like UConn squeaked by Providence or something

That ranking is also too low, IMO.

This is so true. UConn by 13 over Ole Miss is certainly not going to harm their standings.

Two days ago, there were many comments about how good our opponent was, how well we needed to play just to win, and how tight of a game it would be, etc., etc.

So just for fun, imagine Ole Miss playing North Carolina, neutral court. Which team is better? Toss up? And yet after the 11 point margin of victory over NC we didn’t see any hair on fire concerns.

I want to see the team play a solid 40- minutes, start to finish, tip-off to buzzer with no let-ups or slip-ups. Six games in and we still haven’t seen that. Maybe we’ll see it against Holy Cross; but I expect that one to be a blowout, after which a slow in play and potentially a bunch of bench players. So, Louisville better look out!
