Game thread- Stokes starting???

[Samanthabrown3]

I'm sure I"ve asked this before: Anyone seen this deliberate-foul-at-the-end strategy work?

 

[UConnChapette]

Come on Kiah. Make your FTs! One down.....and two!!!!!

 

[bruinbball]

Smith's 5th

Only once or twice ever.

 

[UConnChapette]

Smith is out with her 5th foul, 17.4 seconds left, UConn 7 point lead and Bria at the line.

 

[Forty_four]

those were 2 of the worse foul shots by stokes that went in

 

[Samanthabrown3]

I'm breathing again. How about you guys?

 

[Icebear]

Kiah makes making FTs an adventure.

 

[UConnChapette]

See, I was probably the only one here that was not worried. Easy peezy lemon squeezy.

Granted, it wasn't pretty. But a W is a W. There ain't no style points in basketball!

 

[Blue Huskie]

That's what I call "Gutting" it out. Whew

 

[speedoo]

Kiah has gotten huge rebounds down the stretch.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kiah had not scored on like 37 minutes. Nice job on the FTs!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

C'mon, Chapette. I know you better than that.

 

[Icebear]

KML, Kelly and Kiah each contributed key elements in the last 4:00. I guess we KO'd St. John's in the end.

K-Day!

You don't lie very well.

 

[UConnChapette]

C'mon, Chapette. I know you better than that.

Seriously. I wasn't concerned. Maybe I am coming down with something....

 

[Forty_four]

a win is a win, now get out of town

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Seriously. I wasn't concerned. Maybe I am coming down with something....

Confidence?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Seriously. I wasn't concerned. Maybe I am coming down with something....

Acute Tonyitis would be my diagnosis.

 

[msf22b]

Wrong about the score!
Wrong that the kids would win the game!
K and K did it.
Stewie will be a better player for her travails today.

 

[meyers7]

Kiah has gotten huge rebounds down the stretch.

She's prolly our best rebounder. Good job again today.

 

[CTGirl15]

This is a big win for this team. They have not been able to gut out a win in the final minutes this year or last, this is a good sign. Ugly game, but a good sign for the future that they won.

 

[bruinbball]

We need good close wins.....occasionally. I was glad to see us hold our composure with a lot of key minutes from the youngsters. Good win!

 

[Icebear]

Winning a game with the problems and challenges that the team did today having to use completely different personnel and using them in abnormal ways could pay real dividends in the future.

 

[meyers7]

Hopefully a gutty win on the road today will be good for them.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Kelly & KML led the team to the victory. Kiah played a role as well. Sure would like to see her play up to her size and be more physical. Good Win, against a scrappy St John's team.

 

[pap49cba]

Geno has to be pleased with the way some of the kids stepped up. Good experience for the newbies.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Whew is right. And ugh.

My guess is that players were sick.

We beat them by 30 in the BET last year, and we are supposedly improved and SJU looks weaker.

 

[JellyBean]

Glad that the coaching staff called up the zone to force St John's to shoot more outside shots. Just glad that they were missing those shots as well. Great call, CD, Coach, Shea, and Marisa.
