Game Thread: UCONN-ND

[Blueballer]

Lots of great energy by all the players tonight. Stewie doing a better job with position and holding onto the ball.

Solid end to the half by UConn here. Even if we don't score, they went on a mini-run.

KML playing like a first team AA.

Much as I dislike Diggins and her cocky smugness...I have to giver he props for being a great player.

 

[alexrgct]

...or, we could turn the ball over and possibly allow a last-second basket. Either way.

 

[UConnChapette]

Damn. Bad turnover there. Need our defense to play tough for 4.5 seconds to stop nd from scoring.

She is keeping ND in the game.

Skylar almost throws up an air ball.

 

[bruinbball]

Did Kelly come down on Skylar's foot?

 

[BRS24]

When did we get those new blue unis and what happened to Kelly? Biting her shirt and limping into the LR at the half.

 

[Blueballer]

What happened to Farris? Rolled ankle?

Idiot ESPN - No replay of course

Yeah, Stewie with a live dribble into traps is never a good thing!

Uh oh .... Kelly !?!?!! I think she rolled her ankle there. Might have landed on a foot....?

If it is an ankle, we should pray that it does swell and stiffen up on her during halftime.....

 

[UConnChapette]

That was a scare there with Kelly. But she jogged off the court so hopefully it isn't serious.

 

[alexrgct]

KML from three: 3-4

Everyone else: 1-9

serious? 5 for EIGHTEEN, no assists

 

[CONNFAN23]

Faris is hurt

 

[John Glass]

not sure, it looked like a knee injury to me

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Funny I see two games where UCONN has T's... and we won both by huge numbers... in one game our players were being hurt and Geno said something. I do not recall why we have a T against Stanford but we won.

 

[bruinbball]

She did..Kelly's right foot came down on the front of Skylar's left foot.

 

[UConnChapette]

Yes, just rewatched it. Landed on skylar diggins foot.

 

[alexrgct]

Faris will play the second half if it kills her.

 

[Icebear]

serious? 5 for EIGHTEEN, no assists

But she has those 10 points and given the rest of ND's play those have been critical.

 

[McHuskyFan]

Thank for all the posts, guys! You r my lifesavers!!! I'm stck babysitting with no ESPN2 ... And the game is blacked out on EPSN3.com

They were clueless that there was even an issue...

 

[John Glass]

Faris is hurt

ESPN is clueless, did they say anything yet ?

 

[VAMike23]

That was a scare there with Kelly. But she jogged off the court so hopefully it isn't serious.

She was definitely feeling the pain there, though...... I have my fingers crossed. There is a really fine line between an ankle that just needs a few minutes and some extra tape, and an ankle that you have to sit down with.

But Kelly is such a warrior that I think she would have to have the leg amputated before missing the 2nd half !
