91-39... UConn

88-34 UConn pulls out a squeeker

A whole lot to a little bit

I'm with Alex on this one. Went to the RPI site to see what I could see.

College of Charleston ranked 236. By comparison, University of the Pacific (remember them?) is 5-5 and ranked 102.

Put another way, Fairleigh Freakin' Dickinson (remember them?) is ranked a handful above College of Charleston.

This is NOT a complaint about cupcakes here. That is another discussion for another time. But this game could be ugly from the get-go.

My only prediction is that Lauren, Michala, Kiah and Brianna will get some useful playing time.

Great post. Lopsided as the score is likely to be, those 4 players should get lots of playing time.

this is going to be one ugly game from a blowout perspective. Heather is out so Geno only has 10 players to use. i think there may be some holiday rust but i still see UCONN scoring close to 90. looking at what Charleston has done this year, they have barely scored over 30 points against teams like Coastal Caroline (36) and Davidson (39) and in 4 other games they scored in the 40's. i seriously doubt they make it to 30 against UCONN...

UCONN 88
Charleston 25

with only 10 players, and maybe resting Caroline, it's possible we'll see a lot of KML, Kiah, and Brianna. and i'm betting we see Michala and Lauren play more than 10 minutes each. And i'm guessing that Caroline may only see 15 minutes. UCONN will probably work on a lot of half court stuff, but they won't stop scoring if they have a chance to.

 

[pap49cba]

I doubt you'll see any full court pressure. CoC might not score.

 

[RoyDodger]

80-15?

 

[connboy77]

Everyone gets to play, except Heather of course!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Depends on whether we want to be nice guests, but I think 90-30 is very possible.

Geno would never totally embarrass a coach he's been friendly with for 20+ years. He knows they are lambs.

 

[Dairyair]

Well. 3 minutes in and no score...maybe their waiting on US!

 

[tomcat]

This is pathetic. Bad shot selection, no rebounding against a tiny opponent. Four minutes with no scoring.

 

[Dairyair]

4 minutes...

 

[DaveDragon]

4:25!!!!

Finally Kelly

I was wondering if this game deserved a thread. I'm not sure yet.

 

[EricLA]

lol. 0-7 start for UCONN and zero shots from the post. Kara was like "this is horrible. not a single shot from the post. the 2nd 5 better be ready to come in shortly."

I wasn't sure either, and the start made it even more dubious!

 

[sarals24]

KML! KML!

 

[tomcat]

Where are the rebounds? Why aren't they pounding it inside? Why are they taking three-point shots against this little team? What happened to set plays? Where is the team that reacts with quality basketball after a loss? This is so disappointing.

 

[tomcat]

God forbid Picozzi should tell us which players came in at the break.

 

[DaveDragon]

They need to check their shoes. Something stinks about this game!!

 

[Dairyair]

Meghan just said Heather might have broken her wrist...Didn't realize it was that bad
