Game Thread UCONN/ND

[cardfan]

If ND was smart, they'd go after Dolson.

 

[UConnChapette]

ND 34, UConn 28.

 

[pinotbear]

all kinds of contact when we drive the hoop, no call. ND goes anywhere near the lane, tweet!

 

[bruinbball]

We can't leave Mabrey wide open....there is 1 thing she does well...shoot the 3. Don't let her get in a rhythm.

 

[Icebear]

Geno will have plenty of tape available to send to the officiating offices.

 

[EricSD]

Side note - going back to DD's analysis, their bench is much more effective than ours so far. Of course hard to make heads or tails of anything with the horrible officiating.

 

[Vowelguy]

ND's frosh are completely outplaying UConn's frosh

 

[Icebear]

ND gets more foul favoritism that TN did in its hey day.

 

[UConnChapette]

Does ND require their players take stunt training, so they can make contact that is completely harmless or non-existent and make it into an "obvious" foul?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

4 min to go in the first half. Lots of frosh in the game.

34-30

 

[Vowelguy]

The refs are not causing us to shoot 33%, and throw terrible passes.

 

[easttexastrash]

ND must train their players how to draw fouls. They know what the officials will call and are good at doing it.

 

[UConnChapette]

Achonwa pushes off and it isn't a foul! Unreal

 

[Icebear]

The refs are not causing us to shoot 33%, and throw terrible passes.

Not completely true when some of those misses are because of hacks and grabbing. Terrible passes happen when players are grabbed and can't move freely.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

The refs are not causing us to shoot 33%, and throw terrible passes.

But they are giving ND lots of free throws, and that's making the difference.

 

[UConnChapette]

Braker, freshman, hasn't earned her credits in the how to fake a foul class yet.

 

[Icebear]

But they are giving ND lots of free throws, and that's making the difference.

Exactly.

 

[UConnChapette]

Seriously, Don? They are letting them play, ND going to need to hit back? Are you even watching this game?

 

[bruinbball]

Breanna was out when she tipped that ball back.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Kelly has missed some absolutely wide-open 3's. Those would have been huge.

 

[Icebear]

Hartley, nice step back 3!

 

[Icebear]

1 down at the half. Kids finished well. 11-4 run to end the half.

 

[bruinbball]

Yeah, they are rattling in and out, I want them to drop in! I am sure she does too

 

[uconnbill]

Don Criqui is horrible.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Whats the deal with Caroline? Only 1 minute? I hope KML in the second half goes off. She only played 10 minutes in the first half.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

1 down at the half. Kids finished well. 11-4 run to end the half.

But Geno will still be blistering the paint off the walls.

 

[cardfan]

Breanna was out when she tipped that ball back.

yep.

Blah blah blah.
We played terribly for stretches.

 

[Icebear]

That is a matter of about 1/2-1" and drives one nuts.

 

[Vowelguy]

Banks gave some really good minutes.
