Game thread: USF - UCONN

[FairView]

SNY is sooooo superior to CPTV ... except for the baggage they dragged over from the CPTV broadcast team.

 

[ChrisSmith]

I am not saying everything is peaches and cream. But mocking her and LOLing her AA status is not necessary. There is a big difference with saying Bria is struggling, and making bad decisions, etc. I don't think anyone is arguing that. But it bothers me when ever anyone laughs at someone who is struggling with confidence.

Remember, we're online, not in person, and it can be tough to read what another person says. I wasn't mocking her and I'm not laughing. I honestly don't think she's one of the top 5 players on the team this year.

Mo has got to be a threat to dribble-penetrate ; haven't seen much from her in that respect for awhile

 

[OneTrickPony]

Smith 21 down and writhing...right ankle buckles...

 

[FairView]

Every game I root for her to come out and play like she did last year. One day my faith will pay off.

 

[VAMike23]

70-45 good guys

9:14 remain

 

[FairView]

It's nice to see Stewart being too aggressive.

 

[VAMike23]

Mo for 3!!!!! assist to KML

 

[VAMike23]

Bria dejected...............

Bria's confidence is shot. I know she's got to keep shooting, but I'm not sure it's helping at this point. I question how far he can afford to go with her on Monday.

Her knee bent awkwardly, too.

I don't think we will see it this year. Hopefully she comes back next year 100% healthy, with a clear head, and with an improved jump shot.

KML and Kelly tied in the roomie rebounding sweepstakes.

6 apiece so far today.

0-11 and is completely spooked. The Chuck Knoblock analogy is very apt.

 

[UConnChapette]

Bria dejected...............

She is still trying hard. She needs a couple of shots to fall and make some clean passes that leads to good things. She'll come around but it might not be in the immediate future.

I think Geno is letting Bria shoot in this game intentionally, since UConn has a big lead, hoping she would make a couple of shots and get at least a bit of her confidence back, because UConn is going to need her on Monday...

When you're a guard thats struggling with your jump shot, stop shooting 3's and use your quickness to get to the rim and to the line.

Hi gang! Thanks for holding down the fort.

Who's playing today?

 

[Icebear]

How many rebounds does Kelly have?

 

[UConnChapette]

How many rebounds does Kelly have?

6 according to ESPN Gamecast

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kaleena reads the Boneyard. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that I want her taking 20 shots. She's 11-23 for a career high 30 points. She and our other 2013 WBCA All-American are nearly outscoring USF.

 

[prebivalka]

How many rebounds does Kelly have?

6

already in the club with Maya

 

[MaineFan]

-- must be up to 751, at the least.

Yippee kai yay!

The Big Girl has 25 and 10, including 9-9 on FTs. Yep, second best center in the country. (Chiney is a PF in my view.)
