Game Thread: UConn - Kentucky

[Icebear]

It all changed with the TD pass to Faris to end the first half. Indiana girl follows Manning to Denver.

See the sacrifices I make for you My People. Not watching, wearing my 3 peat hat and my 2002 Championship T shirt and not watching! I cannot contain my joy and my wife just shakes her head. Live with it woman, I am in HEAVEN!

We do what we have to do.

I thought Samarie played well. She shot the ball very well. She'll have a nice career in Lexington.

Yes she will. Glad she is happy.

Good for Tiff getting the Regional MOP. Looking at these two games in RI... I would have given it to Kelly Faris myself. Even though some people here think she was stupid tonight..... I think her play the last two games was truly amazing. Way to go TIFF.... Way to go Kelly... Way to go Bria... Way to go Stef... way to go Kaleena.. Way to go Carolina... Way to go Kiah.... way to go the rest of the team.

I keep telling her and she just keeps looking off to the right and muttering sheesh whatever!

DO NOT mention that evil empire name in connection with UCONN.

I'm more proud of this team than any other UConn team. Simply an amazing effort!!

Chris Elsberry tweets why UK coach picked up technical:

Leaned in the ref and said "You're missing a "blank-ing" good game".

Hope his baby did hear him say the "blank" word!

 

[Vowelguy]

She had a great game, but that's a bad call.It's not about one game, but the entire tournament. Still, so proud of her.
Should have gone to Kelly, IMO. (Although Bria and KML probably made better arguments than Tiffany.)

But this is the game that mattered. The first two were cake walks, the 3rd was comfortable. This was the game where a big performance was desperately needed.

Even though some people here think she was stupid tonight..... .

A dumb play is FAR from calling someone stupid.

So happy for TIFF and the team. Glad we weathered those speed bumps in the first half. I said to my wife, "It seems like we get teams that shhot 80% against us in regional final games". Of course KY didn't shoot that good in the first half but it felt like it. Somebody mentioned that the Baylor altercation game last night may have resulted in more fouls being called tonight. It sure is odd that we can get through the entire season and not see a game like this with so many players in foul trouble. Kelly really got hosed but it's all good now!

GO HUSKIES!

Sorry you didn't get to see the game, but jeez, Brazil, that's got to be nice!

Its my wife's homecoming after 12 years and it is for the most part, but I am left out of most conversations because I don't enough Portuguese......and her family doesn't speak English......but learning it will be on my to do list when I get home...

Leaned in the ref and said "You're missing a "blank-ing" good game".

I got that once from a coach (minus the "blanking") while reffing soccer. Told him I knew, but they assigned me THIS game.

 

[DEK1234]

Great game for Tiff! I don't mind her getting MOP at all. It's her last shot at it and it's not like she was a slouch on the court. She played her heart out and helped us get the win.

For those who are down on Doty:

6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 TO -- exactly the steady game you need against a high-pressure opponent

 

[Aluminny69]

Disappointed in Doris Burke. she should have stood up for Hayes as an AA.

 

[Dairyair]

For those who are down on Doty:

6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 TO -- exactly the steady game you need against a high-pressure opponent

And she had that big 3 at the beginning of the game...thought we might see more 3s from CD today, but you're right, she had a great all around game, and kept the ship steady.

 

[cookie447]

T/y for mentionig Caroline's contribution. It was very not insignificant.........................

 

[cookie447]

As for Doris Burke, give me Beth Mowins/Rebecca/Pan Ward any day!!!! Doris has fallen down and can't shut up!!!!

 

[sarals24]

HEr rebounds were really key, too. At very important parts of the game. Way to go CDII!

 

[HuskyNan]

For those who are down on Doty:

6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 TO -- exactly the steady game you need against a high-pressure opponent

And a three pointer at the beginning of the game to settle down the young 'uns.

I like Doris. But I like Rebecca better than anybody.

 

[Kait14]

Kelly Faris is a MACHINE.. that is all

Peyton Manning?!?!?!
