Game thread UCONN /PSU

[VAMike23]

You are really arguing two points at once here. I might be inclined to agree that these ticky-tack fouls, both ways, do nothing to help the game. But if they are going to call those fouls on the defense, you cannot argue against the same thing on the offense, especially if it's as obvious as Lucas made it. Heck, even I saw that one.

I saw her arm out, too, but by no means felt it created any kind of advantage, and I'm not even sure there was any contact to speak of. YMMV

Lucas left arm went out, but there was hardly any contact... a baseline camera angle may have shown no contact

Stevie would still be on the floor if she hadn't run into Lucas on that close-out...!!

The NCAA game tracker has people voting on who will win. It's 60-40 in favor of PSU. There must be some very rabid PSU fans out there.

Or a lot of UConn haters.

It's as ugly here as on TV

 

[RadyLady]

Score?

 

[HGN]

Second half getting under way.....Chong with 13pts at half.

I would have liked to see a good replay of that shot, Lucas may have flopped

.
Huskies stinking it up at the free throw line - 57% for the team in the first half.

Stewart with a 3. 40-24 18:55

Stef's 3rd foul at Maryland was like that. Refs calling it tight and consistent game to game. Big change.

 

[HGN]

Stewie with a 3...UConn 40-24.

 

[HGN]

MoJeff just picked up 3rd foul....

 

[VAMike23]

The foul that the refs seem to have largely swallowed the whistle is:

Over the back

You guys need glasses. She pushed Bria right in the center of her chest! I think the refs have mostly chosen not to implement much of the rule changes so far. If they had Uconn would have shot 25 free throws in the first half. The start of the game Penn State reminded me of Rutgers of old.

 

[HGN]

UConn up 40-26...

 

[VAMike23]

Great take by Mo!

 

[HGN]

Chong coming back in game.....

 

[HGN]

Hartley with a fast break basket....UConn up 44-27.

 

[VAMike23]

In the dictionary, the word 'Bria' means "attack"

 

[BJLfromBK]

nice And 1 for Bria... 45- 26

What an incredibly deep team. How many teams in recent wcbb history have, at full srength, been able to bring players of the caliber of Stokes, Tuck and Chong off the bench?

I thought I was seeing things. Numerous times players from other teams have crashed over the top, and no calls. In the first half, Stewie got clobbered twice.

 

[HGN]

Correction , UConn up 45-26 ....At the 15:45 mark.

Im sure it was a previous UCONN team
