Game Thread: UCONN-Prov

So many turnovers...ugly basketball.

A team with 4 guards should not have this many TOs.

 

[VAMike23]

They have for three or four this year.

Have they really? My memory is dustier than I thought. And there she just had another [blatant] carry as I type this.... oh well

Maui Chapter of the Boneyard is present and accounted for and joining the thread.

Go Huskies!

 

[alexrgct]

Because they often do.
I remember one time after a loss to Tenn, they came out and destroyed Providence. I think it was 126-48.

Have't seen that kind of tendency with this squad. I think it'll take a couple games for this group to be back on track.

 

[VAMike23]

Stokes !!!! <block>

 

[Vowelguy]

Banks & Stokes in! with 13 to go

 

[alexrgct]

I don't care about Geno's tie.

Go Huskies!

Are we invited to the luau afterwards ????

This 'tendency' is based on the 1 previous loss this team has had? Or maybe the 2 losses from the previous 3 years?

 

[MilfordHusky]

ND up 4-2 almost 5 minutes in. Points will be scarce.

Well, shame on you. It is an important part of the game.

Sure, if you bring the pig.

 

[VAMike23]

Nice job by Stokes on that last rebound -- hands high, didn't bring the ball down even a little bit.... just went right back up with it and drew the shooting foul.

 

[Icebear]

I can bring the bear.

 

[VAMike23]

Sure, if you bring the pig.

What time is it there??? Surf's up and you're watching the Huskies... that's loyalty

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kaleena with a hoop and rebound, Brianna with a missed layup, Kiah with an O board.

Go freshmen!

 

[semper]

Bria starting to yak it up more; more leadership. She is really starting to be A+-mazing.

2:15 at the pool with WiFi. Couldn't get the radio feed on iPad, but I have ESPN.com and the BY![/quote]

Yeah pretty much. For a couple games after the Stanford loss, the team didn't look like the team before the Stanford game. Really didn't until the UNC game actually. And then the C of C game. May be a limited sample size, but since the players involved are actually on the floor now, it seems relevant.

 

[VAMike23]

Big smile after that FT by Stokes, then misses the 2nd

 

[Icebear]

Meghan finally mentions the need for others to be involved in Stef's offense.

 

[VAMike23]

Providence's forward Okafor (related to the former UCONN men's player perhaps?) just picks up her 2nd foul, banging and holding Stef in the lane

 

[Icebear]

Nice lefty hook by Stef.

'Twas. Could use a lot more of that.

If she is related, it's distant.
