UConn missed a ton of very make-able shots in the 2nd quarter. This game could be even more out of hand than it already is.

Shots just rolling out or bouncing around the rim.

She has always been an elite shooter. She's just been overlooked.

I think she became an elite shooter her 2nd or 3rd year.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Gabby looks a little gassed

She expends a lot of energy.

While the offense is still trying to smooth everything out, and certainly misses Lou, the UConn defense is playing at a championship level. 2 1/2 games into the season, the defensive intensity for the Huskies is off the charts great.

The amount of energy they expend on defense and the fast break is making me exhausted.

What's with Gabby and the turnovers?

Careless at the foul line and forcing too many passes. As Geno notes, she gambles.

As noted, a few dribbles off someones foot.

She expends a lot of energy.

Gabby and Kia have almost sweated out their jersey. The whole team is playing at a very fast pace.
Dangerfield and Azura looked gassed too.

Meanwhile out in Corvallis ND managed to scrape up 15 points in the first period while OSU scored 20. Shepard sat most of the period.

Geno did rest Crystal Dangerfield briefly. Z is not used to so many minutes.

Go Beavers!

Who will be next off the bench after Meg ?

 

[Centerstream]

I'm looking for Dangerfield, Azura, NaPheesa to hit more of their outside shots.

I think Z needs to stay near the blocks and start nailing some layups and give future opponents something to fear even more. Same for Pheesa.

 

[VAMike23]

Z planned that missed bunny all the way

 

[huskeynut]

Nice drive by Pheesa

 

[VAMike23]

Surprised the refs made that (correct) call on the baseline !

 

[Tenspro2002]

The only nitpick so far is that shooting has not been very good this year, with the exception of Dangerfield and Nurse from deep.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Z for 3!!!! 57-23 7:14 3rd

 

[huskeynut]

Z from 3!!!!!!!!!

 

[huskeynut]

Defense forcing another turnover!

 

[YellwJcket999]

Geno will be highlighting the turnovers in practice.

 

[ASweet3781]

Geez Gabby pay attention!

 

[HoopsFan21]

59-28 4:41 3rd TV TO

 

[sarals24]

I know the score says otherwise, but I don't think they are playing so hot today. So many bricks and turnovers.

 

[oldude]

Gabby has a chance for a quadruple double if you include turnovers...

 

[YellwJcket999]

The baseline pass to Azura in the post is there all day.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Lots of bad turnovers for us but I will also say that MD defense looks better than I ever thought it would. They are getting their hands in the passing lines very actively and trying for tie ups. I never saw a MD team that active defensively before.

 

[bags27]

Geno will be highlighting the turnovers in practice.

I think a lot of the turnovers are because with Lou out the angles and spacing are different. Just need to get used to it

 

[VAMike23]

Great look, and cut !!!

 

[VAMike23]

Nurse channeling her inner Maya!!!

Left handed no less !

 

[huskeynut]

Nice drive by Kia
