Game Thread: UConn - Kentucky

[Icebear]

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

Momentum is ours we came back and retook the lead.

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

KY is a dangerous 3-pt shooting team. That opens things up.

They are daring KML to shoot. She needs to go hard to the basket.

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.

You're right, of course, but I'd bet a nickle that KML will have more than 7 points by the end of the game. I'll bet Geno is in her grill right now! LOL

I was at that game, I had forgotten that she had a bad game that night.

Give Stef a breather in the second half, please...

If KML doesn't wake up, UConn loses. The foul differential should have been HUGE but the refs are allowing hacing outside of the key but not in it and that helps UK.

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

I like it!

20 minutes left. Will it be elation? Or deflation?

Probably Ketia's finest moment as a player.

Some paralells between Ketia and Tiff, actually, except Tiff has had better teammates.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

This game is nuts.

 

[UConnChapette]

KY finally misses a free throw.

 

[Vowelguy]

Great way to start the 2nd half Kelly.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Start the half with a foul.... not good.... but at least the missed one foul shot.

 

[UConnChapette]

Welcome to the game, Bria!

 

[UConnChapette]

Rebound, Rebound, REBOUND ALREADY!

 

[Dairyair]

Tiff says "Charge it!"

 

[UConnChapette]

Why call the lane violation? Because it was. Silly coach. Calls are for Refs.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Live stats not working???? Never a good sign. Stuck at 37-37

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Rebound, Rebound, REBOUND ALREADY!

I agree! What were they doing???

 

[UConnChapette]

Tiff says "Charge it!"

A little risky, but we will take it since it came out our way

 

[MilfordHusky]

Every possession counts. Value the ball!

 

[Aluminny69]

UConn covering the 3 line, leaves them vulnerable to the offensive rebound.

 

[Vowelguy]

Kentucky played over their heads in the first half when it came to shooting from the field

They were 34% from the field.

 

[justML]

This the 5 point lead is the nicest thing I've seen in a looong time.

 

[UConnChapette]

Ugh, turnovers are killing me.
