46-21 half

And they looked a bit ratty. Unreal

Gabby aiming for the least prestigious double-double in basketball.

(still looks amazing on the non-turnover plays, though)

 

[bags27]

MEGAN!!!!!!!

Geno is now able to give her major minutes. This will pay off long term

 

[Zorro]

What kind of turnovers?

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

UConn never agrees with a call? Screw you, Andy.

And did he really say the name "Crystal Vanderbilt" when talking about Danger at one point... I thought I heard that.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Baskets in the Paint at the half
Red Turtles (3-2) 5
UConn (9-6)15

By the way Karlie Samuelson scored 24 points and grabbed 6 boards

 

[TitleTown]

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.

This is a different offensive pattern without Lou and they will need to adjust. Very exciting in a different way

 

[Centerstream]

It is really sad that they can't find any better officials than this. There have been at least half a dozen blatantly missed calls already.

I love the blown call when Gabby threw the ball at the Terp player's foot, it hits it and reverses direction to go OOB. The ref thinks a thrown ball can reverse direction by itself. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

 

[JordyG]

I have to think that by the middle to the end of the 3rd quarter Frese's charges will have their hands on their knees with their tongues hanging out. Meanwhile AZ and this offense will just be getting in sync.

 

[YellwJcket999]

What's with Gabby and the turnovers?

At least 3 if not 4 have been dribbles of her/opponents foot.

 

[Kaizen]

 

[GoCardinal]

8

Well, outside of that she looks really good. Nurse has just been fantastic as well.

 

[Nuyoika]

Anyone catch that graphic: Duke 36... Nova 48... after 3 quarters, QUE? Lord JPM... Also, this team hasn't even come together yet... Wait til February and beyond... they will be ridiculously good.

 

[YellwJcket999]

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

Shots just rolling out or bouncing around the rim.

 

[MilfordHusky]

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.

 

[oldude]

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.

 

[eebmg]

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

Holly Rowe interviewing Gabby forcing her to relive the MSU game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

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.

 

[YellwJcket999]

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.

 

[JordyG]

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.
