I didn't like Walz when he first came into the league, thought he was a loud-mouthed screamer. I was wrong...he's a damn good coach and a pretty decent guy, I think. His squad didn't have it tonight, but he gets my respect.
 
Huskies scrambling for a loose ball as though they're down two at the end of the game when they're really up 20 with 40 seconds.
 
Geno called a TO to allow Waltz to get his seniors out of the game. UL was out of times out. Very classy, even though Waltz didn't appear to act on it.

Funny--I'm feeling just the opposite. I liked him and the way he developed a really good team really quickly. But tonight I watched his team play rough and try to beat up our kids--street ball. They don't do that without their coach's okay.

Got booed for it too
 
So I'm guessing Geno felt that Saniya and Brianna were not ready for such a big game. Too bad, really. Team played great, but I really thought both of them had turned the corner and would earn more than 2 minutes at the end of a blowout...

Sure he did. Spaced out the subs to get each player recognition.

That crowd did not have a very high basketball IQ. One could say they did not comport themselves well.

I like Jeff's shirt. Of course I only wear black.

You might try showing up in the pulpit in one of Jeff's shirts. Bet you would get their attention!

What is this rabbit out of a hat? This is the 2nd game it's been hinted that Walz is "holding back" some tricks.

I think it would be hog-tying Stewie and leaving her in the locker room. That's about the only trick he could play that could slow UCONN down. Seriously, sometimes the announcers are complete idiots. Like he doesn't want to win the game on senior night in front of 22,000 screaming fans?

This was great practice for UCONN. Huge hostile crowd on the road is great practice for the playoffs.

Kinda what I was thinking. I doubt he's OK with losing 3 times as long as he gets that 4th crack at UConn where he will definitely for sure positively no doubt pull out all the stops to win the game.
 
It was great seeing Mosqueda-Lewis playing confidently tonight. Great time of year for the shooter to get her touch back. Kaleena loves burying those dagger 3s against Louisville, and how about Jefferson's 3-point shooting the last few weeks? Of the starting five, there is no one you can sag off which is what makes them so dangerous right now. Also thought Kiah played great again tonight.

Gotta love these women. What other team can go on the road into a sold out hostile environment and play a complete game against the #3 team in the country. I know if LV were playing USF or SMU there would probably only have been 7,000 or so for senior night! That was by far the most physical game I have seen played this season, Cudos to Uconn for not loosing their composure and lowering them selves to the cards cheap and physical level of play.
 
I do not want to see UConn in Louisville's bracket. The Huskies need to go to Lincoln and keep Notre Dame in the other half. Two undefeated teams meeting in the championship game would be incomparable to anything that's ever happened before, an epic battle of The Titans.
 
Unfortunately, if UConn does end up meeting the Irish in the NC, ND now knows a third way to get fouls on Huskies besides diving and flopping because of how MoJeff fouled out. They can just run into each other. Expect to see Achonwa and McBride practicing this maneuver on each other in their next few games.

Hey it almost worked for Baylor. Kind of ridiculous that a team can make it their strategy to foul as much as possible because the refs won't/can't call them all. That really hurts a team like UConn that does not foul much, because everyone one of theirs will be called.
