Game Thread: UCONN/Baylor

[JellyBean]

Great game!!! Way to go, UConn!!!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Good Hard fought Win against a Gritty Baylor team. IMHO the difference in the game was UConn was only call for Three Fouls in the 2nd half after having 12 in 1st half.

It's a damn shame the quality of officiating hasn't risen in parallel with the quality of play and players.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Sims ends game with 20pts.

Just like I predicted.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Gotta say that officiating was 12-16 points on this game.

 

[pap49cba]

Piece of cake.... another double digit win...

How am I uninformed? Tell me one thing I said that was uninformed. Oh and by the way I have forgotten more about this game then you will ever know. Don't stoop to calling names you look like a child.

You don't have a clue.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Baylor played tough.

I thought Sims seemed to be looking to get fouled maybe more than making the shots. She's good, but I expected more.

 

[Zorro]

Sims 4/25

Will be interesting to see if Geno says anything about the officiating in his presser. He can afford the fine.

 

[BearJWS]

OMG - Sims took some of the worst, unforced shots I've ever seen. Her Baylor teammates kept them in the game. Baylor's supporting cast deserves a lot of credit.

For #UConnwomen Stewie was 4 of 14 and Mosqueda-Lewis was 3 of 12. But Sims was 4 of 25 for @BaylorWBB

How sweet it is to have defeated the refs and Baylor's acting job. Way to go Uconn!

Mo is the difference maker in this game IMHO, which is a consistent theme and will continue to be as the season progresses. Kiah was also huge in a her own quiet way!

Ain't it the truth.

Yes, and unfortunately it forced UCONN to be far too passive at times on the boards and otherwise.

 

[ctchamps]

At least the officiating wasn't a factor in the second half. Except on Sims. Of course several UConn players were forced to play at 2/3 because the refs took them out of the game in the first half.

#UConnwomen were 22 of 60 from the field. But Baylor was 18 of 59

 

[Zorro]

I think this game will do the Huskies a lot of good.

Come on, man. How are you defining meaningful? Yeah she has always come off the bench, but to say she's had no meaningful minutes is a big exaggeration IMO. She's delivered in a number of games against top 5 opponents. Mostly on defense, blocks and rebounds, but very important contributions nonetheless. POG-level contributions on more than one occasion.

Hartley hit some big shots, too. Bria did have some "duh" moments, but overall, up to the task..

 

[TheTruthBelow]

Big Shot Bria with 17 points.

For sure if his current contract has the incentives that the next one does. He wins out NC next year the incentives = $900,000.

WNBA's Renee Brown declined interview request after Baylor game to react to @usabasketball player pool selection. Way to promote sport

Because there were fewer calls doesn't mean it didn't have an impact.
