Suddenly we're hitting and moving.

And now we are up 20.
 
They played UConn basketball for about 3 minutes that entire half and still are going in to halftime up 20. LOL
 
Under 4:00 TO was the turning point... D stepped up its intensity and a 15-0 run ensued.
 
You know, if you just look at the numbers, UCONN doesn't look bad at all. 30-17, 60+% from the field, but...

1-9 from beyond the arc
1-6 from the FT line
8 TO's and 2 players in foul trouble in the first half...

As was pointed out, I'm sure Geno will be ... entertaining to say the least... at halftime.

Just after I posted that, caught that the score is 37-17. As someone pointed out, UCONN played about 4 total minutes of UCONN basketball in that half and is up 20... Over rated, I think not...
 
Bria looked pretty gassed at the free throw line. One thing that has bothered me about playing some of these less talented teams was illustrated by that foul. It was a hard foul. Not intentional. But bad players are clumsy foulers too and they can hurt you.
 
UConn basketball during last 3 1/2 minutes of the half.

Bria has played great defense on Mays leading scorer for the league. 20.8 PPG Held to just 3 points in the 1st half. Stewie had 16 points and she's second in the league, averaging 19.3 PPG
 
Choppy start and poor shooting early but those last few minutes were vintage UCONN.

Conspiracy I say!!! ;)
 
Really need saniya to shoot the ball. That play in the first half where she passes up a wide open 3 and then walks trying to dribble to the basket is a microcosm of her season. I've seen her play a bunch of games in high school. This kid can shoot the 3. None of our games are close enough where you can say pressure is getting to her. Just mental with her for the moment but there will be a game where we will be in foul trouble down the line where we will need her to score. Come on Saniya take those open 3's. Stewart is so good and playing at such a high level it should be illegal. Bria and mo jet doing their usual good jobs out there. Banks and stokes are basically defense and rebounding stalwarts and with the rest of our scorers that role is probably good enough for them. Would like to see banks look at the basket and take a few open shots also. If she can't shoot she wouldn't be here.
 
Saniya did take two open 3s and missed. Probably made her gun shy.
 
Not sure there was a foul there on Saniya. More wiff than contact.
 
Good grief - we are losing the 2nd half too. What happened to the half time speech by Geno?!!!

Seriously, would be nice to see at least 10 minutes of true UCONN basketball this half...
 
Hartley's jump shot has flattened out since earlier in the year when she was shooting the ball real well.

Exactly, flat, direct and hard. Every now and then she gets her elbow up a bit and has better loft.
 
Meghan having a stroke can't tell the difference between Dolson and Stewart.

Your right. Just hope she gets that shooter mentality back she had in high school. When she does we will be even harder to handle
 
Surprised that Mays SMU's leading scorer is on the bench so early in 2nd half.

The arc was, if anything, exaggerated a couple of weeks ago. I wonder what happened?
