Game thread: BE Final [merged]

[4UConn]

Why is Dolson at the 3-point line? Go inside. Go inside...

Kml 2-8 no 3 attempts

Sorry but Part of it at least. ND hands checks and pushes at will and nothing gets called. It eliminates our aggression if we know they're going to get whistled and not them.

If half of Diggins arm slaps on the ball handler were called like every other player, she wouldn't last the game

 

[ASweet3781]

I wonder what's the matter with Morgan...?

Altavilla, Fuller, and Elliot missing in action on this one.

 

[jplotinus]

Whew! Only down 9 at the half :-(

 

[Blue Huskie]

Anyone, and I mean anyone, want to answer the question I have been asking for 2 days now?

What happened to Morgan Tuck? It is beyond belief to me the beat writers haven't asked why she hasnt played this tournament. Didnt she have a good game in South Bend?

A guess would be she is hurting and they haven't mentioned it to let the other teams know.

hard trapping D on KML by ND whenever they get the chance

 

[CCinCT]

OK, so perhaps you can sit the rest of the gamethread out while the rest of us cheer them on.

Entitled to my opinion, thank you.

 

[ASweet3781]

The team has no identity. They have no idea what they want to be and the coaches seem to be panicking with the late season lineup changes.

 

[Stinger92860]

I know this will get me in trouble....

I think we need to change the high post offense against nd. It has not worked. I want to see us pound the ball down low.

It would seem we're entitled to your opinion.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Well...I'm drained and I still have half to play...er, watch...!

 

[Vowelguy]

Great JA says Faris may have tweaked that foot on the charge.

Maybe her knee??? Maybe he likes the way Stokes is playing right now?? He's not going to go very deep down the bench unless he has to. He'd play Dolson, KML, Hartley and Faris 40 minutes each if he could get away with it.

 

[housekeys]

Put someone besides KML on McBride. It is not working. I would put Stewart on her and tell her just to play her straight up. Keep her distance and use the long arms to defense against the shot. I think McBride will need to adjust her shot over a taller player and she will start missing.

Put me on ignore then and I won't bother you

 

[SHS72]

Lets face it ND is the better team, primarily because they have better guards. Bria is not ready for prime time. Maybe next year.

You might have higher ground here had you not been complaining about the refs.

 

[meyers7]

As are we.

Altavilla, Fuller, and Elliot missing in action on this one.

If she doesn't make an appearance in the 2nd half, she either can't or there's been something that has her in the dog-house...hard to imagine the latter...

If she's injured than it should have been asked to the coach in the post game after last night. Atleast give us a heads up. And I find it odd her mins would go down so dramatically simply because of Stokes as Tuck was playing well.

This. We can't throw it in the ocean, but we're still within striking distance.

If Morgan's not hurt(?!), we can still turn this around. Because Morgan + Stef can offset the return of Achonwa in the second half.

 

[meyers7]

Good idea.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Beats complaining constantly about our team. As well as plenty of visual evidence to back it up.

Just guessing.

It's a message board isn't it ???

Eh I highly doubt Tuck is suddenly going to come in down 9 if she hasnt played all tournament long.

This is so right!!! I'm sitting center court....Diggins mauls the ball handler on every play & knows she's not going to get called for it. The rest of the team feeds off her smugness...

@SwinCash: Doesn't matter UConn has to play through it... RT @Kelvin_Harris: @SwinCash ND is holdin on to jerseys!

 

[Blue Huskie]

I hope Geno can get them to reach down deep and come out fighting. Still a lot of basketball left to play.
