Game Thread: UCONN-Memphis

[rjuconn]

MoJet with 6 steals already.

I've heard she's pretty good...

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Has Stewie scored a point?

 

[MilfordHusky]

We're up by 10 but being outshot 50% to 48%.

Like the last Memphis game, Memphis is playing UConn tough. Memphis fell apart after the 10 minute mark when UConn went on a huge run. Doesn't look like that's going to happen tonight as UConn is not shooting as well in this game.

4 and counting.

Sometimes it's tough to be so damn good...

Worse thing is we are giving up good shots.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie has 4, I believe.

Can an 8th grader be the Defensive POY?

I know Stewie got fouled there, but there's no way she shouldn't be able to go up strong with her length against a smaller player like that. Maybe not make it every time it (when there's too much contact) but she just gets blocked and stymied too often. She needs to use her feet and body more effectively around the rim when she's in tight.

Weight training is not the answer for this issue.

Sometimes you get a lot of steals because you are overplaying out of position and it also leads to good shots for the opposition because you can't get back.

 

[VAMike23]

Stef! Should have made the pass when u first saw it!

 

[rjuconn]

UConn is on pace to win by about 30 and still it's not quite a comfortable feeling. Aren't we spoiled?

 

[UCONNfan1]

It seems that this Memphis team is far better than their record. Beating RU in OT was no fluke. They are something like 10-8 which is sort of surprising...

Maul ball -

 

[Icebear]

Terrible half of very sloppy and undisciplined play.

 

[rjuconn]

Had a childhood friend "come out of the closet" on Facebook today...and he was looking for support. Even in today's day and age, it's a bold move for a 43-year-old man living in a small town. Good for him.

Teams get pumped to play UConn and play their A-game. Rutgers may have underestimated this team as well. I think that they are pretty tough. I like em.

As Geno has said many times it is about how you play not the score and not the win. They played very poorly.

Of course, that's got nothing to do with the game thread, but it just popped up while I was watching on line. Sorry for the off-topic post...

The kind of game where Morgan Tuck would give us some "glue".

As would Secretariat...

 

[Wbbfan1]

Memphis scores 23 points in 1st half just like they did in the last game. The difference is team is missing wide open shots/layups. Still a comfortable lead.

That was horrible! I kinda liked it LOL...

 

[meyers7]

hmmm wonder what was up with KML. Didn't play much, and iirc not at all in the last 8? minutes?? 0 fouls, so that's not it???

 

[BJLfromBK]

Blacked out on watchespn for me here in brooklyn so ill be stalking the gametracker in the meantime. Aside from early fouls and 3pt fg % looks like we are playing well especially on defensive side. Maybe stop stealing so much and let stef and Kiah get those swats
