Game Thread, Baylor

[RadyLady]

and the big B up 4 with quite a run......need some shots to fall, ladies....

 

[UConnChapette]

Would like to see Heather come in to defend BG, but we need points.

What an awful display by Dolson today on the defensive end.

You know who she's playing against?

 

[DaveDragon]

UCONN down to 43% shooting.

 

[katymarie82]

We need Buck in.. have Buck and Dolson in and Doty out.... it would work..

 

[alexrgct]

This is where the lack of an alpha hurts. Who's going to step up and be the crunch time player for UConn? Baylor can answer that question for their team.

 

[UConnChapette]

Plenty of time left, but Baylor has the momentum and has the home crowd. Oh, and also has Brittney Griner.

 

[Gurleyman]

Don't mind what we've been doing on offense - against a Griner-less team, we'd have a couple driving lay-ups and put-backs, but we are missing the shots we were making earlier. Defensively, Dolson is making it too easy for her with these baseline drives lately. If she hits that rolling hook over you, so be it, but the layups can't happen.

and the zebras!

 

[alexrgct]

Getting out-hustled. This is depressing.

 

[alexrgct]

Gotta rebound missed FTs.

 

[UConnChapette]

Come on Bria! FTs baby!

 

[speedoo]

4 on Sims. But only 2 minutes left.

 

[UConnChapette]

Come on Bria! FTs baby!

Seriously? Seriously? You cannot miss the FTs at this point playing from behind!

 

[alexrgct]

Sims is going to hit these. Bria has been great but missed her ft. May be difference in game.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Those missed Free throw and there went the game. Then follow it up with a foul with 12 seconds left

 

[UConnChapette]

Game over...sadly.

 

[Cafe Poliziano]

Is it just me ??

 

[UConn990411]

That game was a choke job. No other way around it.

 

[alexrgct]

Ballgame. No moral victories. We hit a wall. They didn't. Congrats to Baylor.

 

[RadyLady]

It was a good game. It is fuel for the dance....if we come up against them we have this loss to avenge. that game will count.

 

[Wbbfan1]

If this game is played in Storrs, UConn probably wins. Two evenly matched teams. Have to get more scoring from a couple of starters.

 

[alexrgct]

Absorb the sting of this defeat girls. You had this, but couldn't seal the deal. Not ready yet...but you could be in April.

 

[speedoo]

Getting out-hustled. This is depressing.

I guess you've never gotten tired? I think Bria has played the entire game, Kelly and Tiff only got a few minutes rest.

 

[UConnChapette]

Well, I was hoping we could come out with a win, but Baylor is #1 for a reason. Nothing to be ashamed of. Take what you can from the game, learn from the mistakes. Wish Geno would have put Heather in for more of the second half. She played so well defensively.
