I should point out Geno was looking right at that dope Emmert when he unburdened himself about the refs. #ncaaw #uconn

Kara Lawson:

"Louisville was playing free and easy. Against UConn, nothing has been free. Nothing has been easy."

Great line.

Stewie is "oh my god" .....I am in awe and Geno has barely scratched the surface

Hey, don't tinker too much Geno!!!

 

[Vowelguy]

gotta keep pedal to metal first 10 minutes. Come on geno bria or mojo in backcourt till games over. Caroline unwilling to take wide open shots hurting us

Both had 2 fouls. I like holding them out given our big lead.

Geno to the suits at the table (including Emmert): Points to the officials and says, "That's why coaches bitch all the time." #ncaaw

And Geno is correct!

UConn just needs to play to win and not like they're up 19. If they do, Louisville will be very, very hard pressed to make a dent in this lead.

With that basket Breanna Stewart passes Maya Moore for the most points by a freshman in NCAA tournament since 2000 according to STATS

 

[Uconnrick]

Gotta laugh. The first half highlights showed Hammond fouling 5 times.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I actually agreed with Doris when she said you can't change the officiating because of the score.

I just threw up in my mouth a little

 

[Icebear]

Annoyed at the camera crew. Twice already this game missed action to see a useless graphic and maya sitting in a chair. Hey guys, this is the championship game. Geez.

Not the camera crew, it's the production team. Camera folks only do what they are told.

 

[meganmatthews]

Maya looks so much older. Still very pretty.

 

[UConnChapette]

I miss Maya . But this team right now is a heck of a lot of fun to watch when everything is clicking.

I think she meant shouldn't.

 

[alexrgct]

How can Breanna be playing like this as a freshman at this stage? This just doesn't happen.

Haha, Maya with one of her less modest comments. But accurate.

Can't believe Breanna Stewart took that shot never mind making it

 

[huskies29]

We have a 19 point lead. And you want to take shots at Caroline? Lighten up, Frances.

No, I want caroline to take the shots when shes wide open

 

[huskyharry]

Win the first four minutes!

 

[WNBARookFan]

Maya is such a great ambassador for the university and the game.

 

[JellyBean]

I love Maya. I wish all of the coach Auriemma haters out there are listening to what she is saying about our coach. He pushes the players but knows when to back off. I love it. Great comments, Maya.

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis sixth #UConn player with 100 points in one NCAA tourney

Breanna needs 1 more to join the club. Think she will get there?

I got news for you. The fat lady sang in locker room during the first half, and is already on a plane heading home.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 to....

Maya is so well spoken. She always had so much poise. She will always be one of my all time favorites.
