Game Thread, Baylor

[pppggg]

Fronting BG with Tiff and Heather has been effective so far. we need to keeep it up!

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

22-9 run to close the half

Player of the first half? Heather Buck gets my vote. No points, but playing a hell of a defensive game!

You beat me to it. I agree totally.

 

[UConnChapette]

Does Geno sound a little hoarse?

 

[ctchamps]

Definitely 1st half player of the game was Heather.

 

[Dairyair]

34-28 at the half...I am gruntled!

Exactly... my reaction as well. Griner and Sims have never played better, but UConn as a TEAM has been better.

 

[Vowelguy]

5 fouls to give, and more importantly rest for the other posts. And who knows what she will gain from these minutes....some schoolin', some good things, some things never to do again.....

That may be it for Stokes tonight.

 

[RoyDodger]

Heather Buck!!! She looks great.

 

[GAM]

Great defensive efforts by Heather. Griner hasn't score much after Heather got the assignment guarding her.

 

[JByron21]

Outstanding D by Buck, interested to see what adjustments Kim makes at halftime.

 

[alexrgct]

That may be it for Stokes tonight.

Or maybe another stint between a taken timeout and a quick official timeout just to give Stef/Heather a little more of a breather.

Working like a charm thus far. Would be even better if Heather cores a few points to make Griner commits to guard her on the offensive end and open up the paint for other UConn players.

Great team defense and after a slow start Bria started hitting her shots. KML is proving she is a star and if she gets more minutes she just might make one of the All American teams.

Geno and his coaches know how to get the players to play hard in big games.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

How can we be shooting 56% against that tough Baylor team?????

 

[Replicant]

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

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????

+1!

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

 

[alexrgct]

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

CD has been way to quiet...

Kelly got held. No call.

 

[alexrgct]

And another fouls on Stef.
