Game Thread UCONN vs. Green Bay

[Samanthabrown3]

Wow. Seven assists for both teams. You hardly ever see anyone match UConn.

 

[JellyBean]

Very entertaining. It's actually game. UCONN is actually facing some competition. This is what they need to make them a better team. 20 pt blowouts might make us feel good and pad the kids stats, but it doesn't make the team better.

I agree. I mean nothing wrong with a good 20-50 point blowout, especially when you are giving your starters a rest. But it is good to have a good test once in awhile to keep you sharp and focused. Green Bay is pretty solid. I think they beat Purdue this season. Played tough against Vanderbilt, lost but from what I heard and read, it was a really close game. So it is good that we are playing Green Bay. They have great ball movement. They are physical. Also they put up quick shots either by fastbreak or a quick 2 or 3 point shot.

Why would morgan try to run through two defenders like that?

 

[MilfordHusky]

So far thru 2.5 games, Stewie has 24 points, averaging just under 10. Meanwhile, Kia has 43 points.

"Cuz she thought she could.

 

[UConnDan97]

Stewie with 3 the old fashioned way. That should get the ladies going for the second half...

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nurse making plays everywhere.

 

[alexrgct]

There you go, Stewie...

 

[Soxx]

Defenses are keying more intensely on Stewart. That has a lot to do with the point differential with Nurse.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Boy who ever the person on the staff was who first identified Kia Nurse deserves a raise.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Green Bay isn't going away, though. It will be a contest all game.

 

[UConnDan97]

Oh my word!!! MoJeff!!!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Hilarious that breathing on a ball handler gets you called for fouls but climbing on Stewart is allowed.

 

[alexrgct]

What a drive by Moriah!!!

 

[NutmegDog]

Classic MoJeff drive -- followed by questionable defensive decision. But, I'll take it. She's so fun to watch.

 

[alexrgct]

301 for KML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Samanthabrown3]

Oops. They just passed the ball to out of bounds. Maybe they are going away.

51-30, our guys, at the 16-minute mark. 12-0 run.

 

[UConnDan97]

Now that we've extended it to 21, the score will begin to weigh on the minds of Green Bay. I expect a lot of poor shot selection from here on out. Let's keep leaning on them...

Is wondering like thinking outside the box?

Jefferson looked like she was hurt coming off the court

You've found your stride, Alex!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Apparently, Stewart is a jungle gym.

Cramps

 

[sarals24]

Is there an MVP of this tournament? If so it should go to Nurse.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

BTW, that was Nurse with the drive and kick to KML.

 

[sarals24]

Ugh, bad pass by Tuck there.

 

[Buzzyboy]

I'm totally amazed that there has been little definitive information. What is the score. How much time is left. Outside of praise for Nurse and some numbers thrown about KML's career three point baskets, no one is saying anything for those who can't see the game! Like me! Usually when there's a game thread, the score comes up all the time! Why not today?

 

[sarals24]

How is Nurse bumping that girl through the lane any different from how they've played Stewart all game?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

They're blaming Tuck for that but Stewart was clearly cutting with intent on receiving a pass.
