Game thread: BE Final [merged]

WHYYYYYYY didn't Geno call a timeout?!?!?! HE HAD TWO LEFT!

 

[jplotinus]

It was not meant to be :-/

 

[Stinger92860]

That's the play you call after a timeout? You don't hold for last shot?

 

[Gurleyman]

Notre Dame should not have touched the ball again in regulation. Period. That whole play was one idiotic pass after another.

This

 

[stick]

Hold for the last shot. We try a backdoor crosscourt lob off an inbounds with 17 on the clock? That's completely asinine.

Unreal possession. For some reason, the women's game has no idea how to play for 1 possession. Plus you have 2 timeouts, why panic?

 

[Kait14]

It's like Geno drew up a play, and they ran the complete opposite of what he drew up

 

[WNBARookFan]

There is NO excuse not to take your time with 18 seconds on the clock. That's just inexcusable.

Nice comeback try, but smarter basketball would have helped. \

PS - I dislike Diggins intensely, but she is better than our guards.

 

[luckyhusky7]

man oh man.....what was that? In the famous words of Geno ""

 

[OneTrickPony]

Well...that was a grinder...let's hope Geno has some sets to get Kaleena some looks in the Final 4, and we pay proper attention to Kayla McBride...if she's not the MVP it's a travesty...

That's weak. We had, worse case, chance to go to ot. Poorly managed last possession.

 

[bruinbball]

I'll still take an opposite approach to the 2011 finish with a victory over them in the Final Four this year.

Your right it should have been a UCONN win or overtime at the absolute worst.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The tally:

1 point in regulation with shots to win.

6 points in 3 OTs when we have chances to win in regulation and the first 2 OTs.

2 points with 4 seconds to go after we have the ball and the shot clock turned off.

3 winnable games. We're 0-3. CRAP!!

After Achonwa got her last foul I knew she would hit the winning shot. Fairy tale ending and all that. Of course the brain fart play of UConn helped write the ending.

Diggins is for real...give the lady her due...but McBride carried their team...

I really should not post right now. I may regret it.

I think Auriemma has been absolutely exposed this year as a tactical end of game coach. Good lord these decisions I am seeing. Speaks VERY poorly to the coaches. Very easy to look good when your up 30.

 

[Soxx]

Horrible play by your senior, and Geno doesn't bail his team out by calling time.

This team deserves to get ripped to shreds for that.

Really???

They find a way to get mcbride open but we cannot do the same for Kml.

I wish I didn't agree

 

[Kait14]

Bad coaching, stupid players, and horrible defense lost that game. How is that the 3rd best team in the country? Shows you how bad women's college basketball is as a whole.

Geno's play calling is dumb and put them In a position of panic.

Good lord, where are the mods? Can we just ban idiots like this please?

 

[4UConn]

This one is on Geno, hate to say. CALL TO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[meganmatthews]

Uconn cannot beat ND. Not in a thousand Sundays.

He's out there playing too? He draws up plays that THE TEAM DOESN'T RUN
