Game Thread, Baylor

[Replicant]

Up by six and going into our favorite half. Let's see what kind of kick Baylor has left!

 

[RadyLady]

A stunning half time score. Based on the start, I thought we were in HUGE trouble.

22-9 run to close the half

Naaaa...you have to let them get the jitters out, get used to the venue and the noise......I still am not sure if we will pull out the W, but I am enjoying the match. It's a good game and challenge for UConn

I am sooo inpressed with Heather's play... I think it immediately gave the other 4 on the floor some additional confidence... Took some pressure off

Where THIS Heather Buck has been hiding I don't know. WOW

Does she start the second half????

That's a good point. Not sure BG scored at all against Heather

This lead can evaporate like that. We need to hear from Caroline before this game ends.

CD has been way to quiet...

 

[pppggg]

Kelly got held. No call.

 

[alexrgct]

And another fouls on Stef.

 

[alexrgct]

Wtf? You can't leave Sjms open like that.

 

[UConnChapette]

Can't leave Odyssey open like that!

 

[Dairyair]

Geez, the announcer sure gets excited when Baylor scores...

 

[UConn990411]

Two things:
1. Dolson has been awful.
2. Doty has been invisible.

Replace them with KML and Buck out of this timeout.

 

[CTyankee]

Geno is pissed...

 

[pppggg]

Who's gaurding Sims? NOBODY!

Agree!

 

[Gurleyman]

We're playing zone. That last one was Doty's side where she didn't have awareness. The first one was off a scramble in the paint when we were out-hustled, and Sims was open on the kick out/swing pass.

Doty may just not be suited for this game. Stef is just giving up position too easily.

 

[UConnChapette]

It's a game of runs. Baylor on their run. UConn best not wait too long, especially if Sims and Griner start heating back up.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Under statement of the year, "Can't leave Sims Open" Poor defense by Caroline

 

[alexrgct]

KML just beat Griner for a loose ball.

agreed.

3-a for Bria!!!!

Exactly right. Excellent observation.

 

[alexrgct]

Just a sidenote:

This has been a terrific showcase game for WBB. Just terrific. Whoever wins. These teams are playing their asses off and with precision.

 

[Vowelguy]

One amusing comment from van Gundy ...
"Geno should've said, 'Brittney, I think you need to work on your 3-point shot'."

 

[alexrgct]

KML!!!

How does Hayden not pass to Griner there???

 

[UConnChapette]

KML, sweet!

 

[Dairyair]

Tiffy!!!!!!
