oh no...KML

Mallory trips KML and she gets called for the travel. Typical Kantner call.

 

[GAM]

thank you.

2 fouls of D. Peter, over the back.

 

[Dairyair]

2 0n peters 27-21 under 4 min

Kantner is useless!!!!

 

[Icebear]

Second foul on Peters, great! Kantner will immediately call a foul on Stef to balance it out.

KML did stumble after the trip.

2 0n peters 37-31 under 4 min

27-21

 

[justML]

My coaching advice?

Don't turn over the ball!!!!

 

[Icebear]

KML did stumble after the trip.

Yes, but the trip was the foul and KML had not given up her dribble and was entitled to a stop.

 

[CCinCT]

Kantner is useless!!!!

I beg to differ - she was the most valuable player for ND in South Bend

 

[Dairyair]

27-21

Had already fixed it, Pap!

 

[Dairyair]

Horse Hockey! ND breaks up KML breakaway and they get the ball????

 

[Icebear]

Bria!

 

[GAM]

I bet if an UConn player tries to slap the ball from ND while attempting a break away layup, it would be a foul call.

 

[Icebear]

Hartley with her second foul.

 

[justML]

Let's hold this lead for the next minute! Please?

 

[Icebear]

Couple of bad defensive ends. Let's keep them off the line.

 

[GAM]

oh Tiff! Don't try the fancy dribble in front of Diggins!

It was off KML's leg but I thought it was all arm.

True that.

 

[CCinCT]

It was off KML's leg but I thought it was all arm.

Looked a t it 3 times - all arm !

 

[GAM]

Not a good end to the half UConn. Still up 31 - 30. Only 4 pts the last 8min.

 

[Icebear]

Looked a t it 3 times - all arm !

That's what I thought, too.

 

[Dairyair]

The way we self-destructed at the end of the half, we're lucky to be in the game, let alone up one. We need to play a lot smarter in the second half...

 

[Wbbfan1]

ND made this comeback when they ignored Kelly Faris

 

[Blue Huskie]

It was a lot more fun when we were up 10

 

[pap49cba]

Yikes, had 'em on the ropes and Novasel on the bench and they still crawl back. Anyone's game.

 

[alexrgct]

To allow a 13-4 run to end the half after being up 10 is really disappointing. We need to re-find put rhythm on O but quick, because Skylar isn't going to keep playing like dog crap for the full 40 minutes.

A lack of KML getting touches the last few possessions was a notable issue.

Gotta win this 20 minutes.

 

[Icebear]

We got to up ten and then took off the pressure. We do that frequently. We need to keep pushing through to 15, then 20, then 25. Never take off the pressure on either end.
