Game thread Stanford - UConn

[HoopsFan21]

There's your ball game.

 

[Flyegirl]

Ok, this is over. We played horribly.

 

[huskeynut]

Good night all.

 

[j66kicker]

Chong passes up the 3 to score a meaningless 2

 

[sawxfan23]

Not Geno's best game

 

[Flyegirl]

They have to fix the clock. Look how much time came off.

Stewart's numbers might look pretty good, but she was awful tonight on both end. Didn't even look like she cared out there.

I was wondering why bother going for the 2 when you've bled off so much time.

 

[Dove]

Chong checked out

The late game execution in recent close games has been abysmal. Think Notre Dame. Some of that has to fall on the coach.

 

[RadyLady]

I am not believing this.

I am. UConn will lose this game. It will be good for them. It may give them the incentive to listen to Geno and fix the problems. The glass is half full. Growing pains are normal.

I said in a recent topic that the best chance to beat UCONN this year is contain KML outside shooting, Stanford did that tonight. Great game!

 

[Buzzyboy]

I can't believe that Chong went to the rim with less than 3 seconds left when they're down by three points. What the heck was that??????????????????????????? How is it possible to have any chance??????????????????

 

[UConn990411]

Chong goes for a layup with 3 seconds left?

Did this team taking stupid pills?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewart's numbers might look pretty good, but she was awful tonight on both end. Didn't even look like she cared out there.

I disagree with that. She was playing hard out there. Don't forget for the first time in her career she has no Stef to anchor the middle.

 

[Dove]

Wow

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

There's a poetic ending: KML dribbling like the game just started.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stanford storms the court. God I hate playing in this place.

 

[Flyegirl]

Oh dear. Well we go the loss out of the way.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Wake up call...

 

[CCinCT]

Best thing that could have happened to them - Geno will have game tapes all season long.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Well you can't say Stanford didn't deserve it.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Maybe I shoulda been nervous. . .

Yes. We played very poorly in all phases and they played as good as they CAN play. If we play them 5 times we win 4 of them by double digits. Always can be tough on the road early in the year with a couple young players. It will be a huge teaching loss.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

BTW, Chong was put in a horrible position. Jefferson held onto the ball forever and then Chong is forced to make a decision she clearly doesn't want to.

 

[NutmegDog]

Never got a shot off. Looked like we had no idea what we were doing.

Very much deserved to lose this one. Looks like there will be a few more this year, due to really bad defense by us.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geez did Stanford just win the national championship? I don't think I've ever seen this kind of celebration.

 

[ctkaiser]

What happened to our basketball IQ?

 

[OneTrickPony]

Best game I've watched in quite awhile...
