Game Thread; UConn-ND

[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!

 

[Icebear]

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

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

 

[Samanthabrown3]

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

True that.

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.

That's what I thought, too.

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...

ND made this comeback when they ignored Kelly Faris

 

[Blue Huskie]

It was a lot more fun when we were up 10

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

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.

Exactly......Need to keep KLM and Kiah in the Game. And what the heck give Brianna a shot, nobody is going to run by her and she can score.

 

[GAM]

Kelly and Doty should not be on the court the same time. I think it is a better line-up with Doty + KML or Kelly + KML. With Kelly and Doty on the court, then ND only needs to shut down three UConn players.

 

[pap49cba]

Guarantee you ND is feeling really good right now.

I wonder if KML is more hurt from that fall than we see.

UConn lost their aggressiveness in the last 8 minutes They took their shots out of rhythm unlike the first 12 minutes when they were playing. You can't play to avoid mistakes against ND

Unfortunately, she wasn't moving well. I hope she can get a massage at the half.

I hate that nd goes in to the locker room on a roll. Kelly, I love you, but you are gun shy and nd knows it. You can do it, show them you can, girl!

The change happened when they took KML out for the breather just as we went up 10. We never regained the rhythm we were in.

UConn 2 - 10 with 6 turnovers in last 8 minutes of play according to Rich Elliott tweet. Had a 6 point lead with 1 minute to play before Tiff's turnovers.

Prediction: Dolson will tire in the 2nd half
