GAME THREAD:Oklahoma

[huskeynut]

Geno with a sarcastic smile with some of these foul calls on OU's big girl.

And justifiably so.

 

[Centerstream]

Kind of feel bad for Oklahoma. The score is not a real representation of how well they played tonight and put up a really excellent fight against our Huskies.

 

[JordyG]

That Pellington is an athlete.

 

[eebmg]

Nice 4th QTR effort! Good to see.

If you don't touch the bench before 2 minutes left, that will happen. He did not want any ugly basketball to mar this 1000 win.

Edit: Come on AEH pocket picked by Gabbi Ortiz.

If you’ve been around youth sports for awhile, you should know that sometimes kids play down to their competition. I didn’t see the game so could this be a possibility?

88-64 final

Really Hunter?

So happy for Geno and CD right now!

 

[Centerstream]

Kyla has her arms up and she gets called for the foul cause the ref knows she's a sub

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Wow, the bench still got outscored 4-0 over the last 12 seconds.

 

[HuskyNan]

Wow, the bench still got outscored 4-0 over the last 12 seconds.

Are you serious?

 

[Kaizen]

Did someone actually touch that kid?

The ref ....

 

[Sonny44]

Didn't see Marsiella tonight????????

 

[ochoopsfan]

Baskets in the Paint Final
Boomer Sooner 4 + 4 + 3 + 4 =15
UConn 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 =21

Congrats to Geno and CD

The score is almost exactly as Massey predicted.

Geno talking now. Smart stuff to entice more of those talented kids, but genuine.

That Sue hug. Her eyes - it's over

Congratulations to UConn icon Geno Auriemma on his 1,000th career win! Auriemma could coach any sport and be a Hall of Famer. Amazing.

That pickpocket cost me the prognosticators win.

Very cool game reel. Got the swin cash wrong basket bench reaction.

Got the 1st team ever in game 1. Wow. Very very cool

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Too cool...his first team shows up... a special place.

 

[ASweet3781]

An Ann Strother sighting!

 

[Plebe]

Great to see Kerry Bascom there, UConn's first All-American.

 

[HuskyNan]

An orange jacket? Hahahaha!

 

[GoUconn7961]

An orange jacket? Ha ha ha ha!

LOL - that's what I was thinking too!

 

[Plebe]

I actually like that shade of orange and think it looks good on Geno.

Orange as a color has gotten such a bad rap due to that garish hue south of Kentucky.

 

[GoUconn7961]

That cake is awesome!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Never doubted that UConn would easily win the game on the score board. Just wish like they have in other games, not play so poorly for long stretches in the 3rd quarter and the starters are on the floor. They play so quickly and end up taking poor shots and making bad decisions. Needs to be corrected before tournament time.

Debbie with some fine, heartfelt, articulate words of tribute to what Geno's accomplished.

Hear hear.
