GAME THREAD: Tulane @ Connecticut - 1/27/18

[eebmg]

The best footwork I've seen by Pheese on offense and defense this year.

The happiest I have seen her on the court and that was from the tip off.

 

[oldude]

The team is incredibly focused today.

Just think what Gabby would have done if she had played a forty minutes.

They just credited Gabby with another assist from the first half that they missed. It’s not worth aggravating her injury but how awesome would it be for Gabby to get 10 assists for the game...

 

[MSGRET]

Damned impressive! Are the Huskies finally finding the groove that Geno wants? Quite possibly.

Sometimes I think he does it on purpose just to get the players to play harder.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kyla in now

 

[BigBird]

26 assists on 34 fg’s. Wow.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Z for 3!!! 87-28 9:30 4th

Baskets in the Paint after 3

UConn 5 + 8 + 10 = 23

You jinxed it

 

[HoopsFan21]

Molly in for Kia

 

[HoopsFan21]

Put in Lexi!!

 

[eebmg]

Get Batouly in please.

 

[oldude]

MW & Coombs are playing tough D. Love to see it.

 

[Kaizen]

Walker reminds me of Maya ...

 

[Kaizen]

MW & Coombs are playing tough D. Love to see it.

Yes those two will be the future starters ...

MW & Coombs are playing tough D. Love to see it.

Coombs with nice aggressive drive for a foul. Her shot however (even at the free throw line) has a little hitch in it that I think needs to be improved.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Lexi and Camara in now

 

[Wbbfan1]

I was glad to see Mikayla was second off the bench after Megan. Sometimes she was the 4th reserve that would come in the game. I'm not counting Azura' as a reserve as she's usually the first off the bench and for most other teams would be a starter.

 

[bags27]

Batouly's moving well

 

[JordyG]

When Touly fell to the floor and the bench guffawed I know what they were saying to each other.

 

[connie]

You jinxed it

How does that work?

 

[iri10]

Camara has the physical frame that UConn could really have used as a rotation backup this year. Too bad about her not quite being ready yet for more major contributions (largely through no fault of her own).

 

[MSGRET]

Molly needs to slow down.

 

[MSGRET]

They are calling touch fouls on UConn while the Green Wave is mugging our players with no call.
