Game Thread: UCONN-ND National Semi Final

[tomcat]

First four minutes of second half will be crucial...need to win that segment!

exactly. If UConn can maintain the lead without adding to the foul total (do you believe no foul shots in the half? Why that Notre Dame team must be one Of the cleanest-playing teams in the history of wbb), they'll be positioned well.

Morgan Tuck...solid as a rock!

Stewie will be a key in the second half. They don't have much of an answer for Morgan Tuck, either. On the other hand, UConn simply cannot expect Diggins and McBride to have this kind of cold shooting half again. In truth, if ND were playing looser, they would have made UConn pay for all those turnovers early.

Can't expect it but we can try and cause it. The fewer the shots they get the harder it will be to get their rhythm.

They should be teammates!

From your lips to God's ear...!

Thinking of how Cal was up 10 at the half and lost by 7. Huskies have a lot of work still to do. That said, love where we are at the half and how Stewart is playing. Can't wait for the second half.

Morgan Tuck is sensational....just sayin'
The freshmen are doing very well in such an important game

What I did like the 1st half is Morgan & Moriah more then held their own when they played. Wouldn't have happened in the 3 ND losses earlier this year.

 

[Icebear]

Yes, the frosh have played well.

 

[MilfordHusky]

You know Diggins and ND are going to come out in the 2nd half on fire. Must match their intensity, take care of the ball and run good offense (i.e., get the ball to Stewie).

Exactly right!

I hope Geno starts Hartley for the 2nd half.

I'm watching something mindless on DVR to settle my nerves. Please tell me when half about to start!

UConn out toughing one of the games toughest teams...keep attacking

 

[Blue Huskie]

Lets see , one game we were up 6 at half , ND was up 2 at half and one game Notre Dame was up 9 at half (BE Tourney) . This is the best position we have been in at the half.

Just stopping in to say GO HUSKIES!

I am not able to post tonight because I have a major deliverable due at work tomorrow and I will be up most of the night finishing it. Ran into some problems earlier that halted my progress. The game is on in the background while I work on the document. No surprise that I am not getting much work done. I will also need to proof read it very carefully when I am done.

Ugly first half but the last four minutes provided a little separation. Let's see if this go round our Huskies have learned to seal the deal.

Let's Go Huskies!!!

Kaleena out with a bad ankle...

Just a stupid decision by KML there.

 

[stick]

Wow, what an awful start. 3 fouls on kml and hurt

 

[Blue Huskie]

Big games need other people to score. We have had Stewie and Bria hitting instead of the usualKML and Dolson.

And ESPN misses the first play

 

[housekeys]

As long as UConn plays the same D, we should be super aggressive on O. Don't be afraid to shoot from deep.

 

[huskies29]

stewie

 

[Vowelguy]

[Icebear]

UCONN UP 12
