Game thread-UConn vs C of C

[UConnChapette]

Doty's shot is looking very, very good! Another 3!

 

[ThisJustIn]

Makes me smile and weep a little to see that Doty three

 

[alexrgct]

I can't even describe the action right now. I'm just grinning.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Caroline is shooting more like she used to - that last 3 was beautiful!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Oh, what a dish from Mo to Bre!

We'll get to see that for 150+ more games.

 

[alexrgct]

41-7 at the under-eight minute mark.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Where is Kia Stokes at the 9:38 mark... not a good sign...

Always good to assume the worst...

 

[alexrgct]

Basically, the one downside is that Bria is hurt. Everyone else is at or above what I expected.

Game 2 in College Station is going to be a different sort of game for sure, but this team is so stacked I don't know that it matters.

 

[VAMike23]

I'd like to see Kiah in there with Morgan at the PF spot for some extended minutes and see how that looks.

And we may just see a lot of that in the 2nd half !!

 

[alexrgct]

Like the trust Geno is showing Mo letting her play with two fouls.

Of course she promptly threw a bad pass, but whatevs.

 

[VAMike23]

Mo picked up her dribble way out there. For no reason.

 

[alexrgct]

Then Mo threw a pass that was so brilliant that Stef wasn't expecting it. She'll get used to it. Good recovery by Stef too.

 

[alexrgct]

What a drive by Banks in space!!!

 

[ThisJustIn]

Did banks switch to her left hand?

 

[UConnChapette]

sweet baseline drive by Banks!

 

[johnnyc]

all three freshman are great passers

 

[flatcoatmom]

Banks looks like a totally different player -

 

[ThisJustIn]

Mo jeff will hear about that drve and TO

 

[alexrgct]

KML for 33333333333333333333

 

[pinotbear]

boy, do I like the defensive movement.

 

[MilfordHusky]

KML for 33333333333333333333

Diana's career record is toast. Probably in 3 years.

 

[UConnChapette]

Banks is a scoring machine in the last couple of minutes!

 

[alexrgct]

Banks is just all over the place.

Tuck just seems to be in position for the rebound at all times.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ok, who does Geno play in the second half to keep the score under 120?

 

[VAMike23]

Did banks switch to her left hand?

yes - and nice body rotation in the air to avoid the charge, too!

 

[semper]

WOW!! I"m at work and can't watch, but reading the thread is so special. THANKS, guys.

 

[Rayvin56]

It's like money in the Banks...

 

[VAMike23]

RE: Kiah, my guess is she must not have had a great week in practice --- she may still be a little up and down that way, and Geno uses the PT as a subtle (or not-so-subtle) reminder.

Just a guess. Who knows.

 

[UConnChapette]

What's with Stef missing free throws? Not used to seeing that

 

[VAMike23]

What kind of zone? Doesn't look like the usual 2-3

It almost looked like a 3-2 until CDoty popped out to the top.
