Game Thread: UConn - Kentucky

[justML]

That momentum + Geno's half time magic = Victory

I like what Tiff is doing tonight, especially on a bad foot. She's playing like she doesn't want this to be her last game.

Geno's correct got to stop putting Kentucky on the line. While a couple of calls were questionable, most were valid calls. Got to play smarter and do a better job passing the ball. Some of the turnovers were ill advised passes into the post, more so then Kentucky's pressure.

41 points scored is respctable. 39 points allowed is unacceptable.

 

[Icebear]

Gotta tighten up the defense in the second half.

I scared the crap out of my cats on Kelly's lay in to end the half. LOL! They took off for the hills when I clapped and yelled. They are back but not happy campers right now. I couldn't break away to feed them at 7:30 per their schedule. Poor babies.

Tiff is a warrior, always, but especially tonight!

Touch Downnnnnnnn!!! Faris goes deep!!! Tiff playing the role of Manning!!!

You mean Brady, don't you

Stef looks tired? I didn't notice it.

The announcers had to say something.

Yep- she won't be a Huskies of Honor member, but she epitomizes/embodies the effort and intensity Geno wants from his kids. And with Bria and Kaleena having bad halves, it was much needed.

We can only hope there will be some other Cats who will be unhappy when this is over tonight.

Very good start, nice play to finish.

Need to make Kentucky miss.

No, I'm sure Ice meant the SUPER BOWL WINNING QUARTERBACK!

 

[triaddukefan]

Just looked at the KY roster.. they only lose Amber Smith and Snowden.... and the transfer from Cal (Stallworth) will play next year. They are gonna be really good again next season.

 

[UConnChapette]

Nice to see ESPN giving CD some much deserved attention!

When Kelly Faris is involved you don't make the comparison to Brady out of respect for her.

Sure hope so!

Maya Moore against Rutgers in the 2008 Elite 8:

40 minutes played, seven points, five rebounds, two assists. Just looked it up.

Freshmen struggle at this stage.

I hope KML is being encouraged to shoot and supported. This is why I watch college sports- to witness these kids go through the process required to be great.

Kaleena and Bria were off in the first half... as many had pointed out. Hopefully one if not both of them will come out on fire in the second half and light up the stat sheet. 3's, steals, assist, maybe a couple of blocks

 

[Icebear]

You mean Brady, don't you

Faris is an Indianapolis fan.

 

[MilfordHusky]

We're shooting 70% except for Kaleena. Would love to see her find the range.

 

[Wbbfan1]

UConn 14 assists on 14 made baskets, an amazing stat. What's more amazing that Kentucky is still in this game, and have momentum.

 

[Aluminny69]

Okay Kentucky 11-28 39.3% 3-pt 3-9

Big stat 8 off. rebounds! TO KY 7 UC 9

Assists, KY-2 UC - 13

 

[Scotter]

Kentucky played over their heads in the first half when it came to shooting from the field and the free throw line. Credit Kentucky for playing well and rising to the occasion, but odds are it doesn't keep up

Exactly. Even if Manning is now in Denver. Wait maybe it is a sign. Great mojo. Manning goes to Denver for Faris to follow.
