Duke let her go for a reason.

Oh please. Duke did not let her go. That's just ridiculous.

 

[Orangutan]

Crystal did just enough to put Arike off that layup. May end up being a huge play. 4 point swing, essentially

 

[Ouremblem]

Bring Gabby back in already!

 

[nwhoopfan]

This may be one of the most disappointing efforts I have seen from a UConn team. This team has issues.

Last year they were a well oiled machine. Haven't been nearly as crisp on offense so far this year. The defense has made up for it so far but ND is handling it today.

Duke let her go for a reason.

Way to be a debbie downer.

 

[JordyG]

No question that ND is the better team, not only tonight, but at this point in the season. Geno will has a feast to pick on from here on to the Dance. Defensive rebounding, pick and roll responsibilities, pace in the offensive zone, covering the perimeter, TO's, lack of urgency, working harder to get open. The list goes on and on. Good for ND. They came to play without excuses and they gave it to UConn good.

 

[Kaizen]

Only 3 pts can save UConn ...LOL
Lou, Kia please ...

 

[CL82]

Ok winning time. Let's get it done ladies.

 

[Hayven]

They are saggin off Gabby when she has the ball at the free throw line, clogging the paint, and giving her that shot. She is not money with that jumpshot and is not showing any defense. So she’s on the bench

 

[GoUconn7961]

Gabby on the bench reminds me of when Jim Calhoun took out all of his starters in a game in which they were getting outhustled. His bench players came within 6 points of winning I think. Sometimes you have to bench people, take a loss and prove a point.

KLS heading to the locker room

 

[oldude]

Lou hurt her foot again...damn

 

[JordyG]

Which poster said Lou should come out in a game they're going to lose? On the money.

 

[bags27]

That's it for Lou. What a warrior

 

[YellwJcket999]

Is Geno done making his point w/ Gabby or is she done for the day?

I think that he is making a point. She may be done for the day.
Geno doesn't care about being undefeated. He cares about hoisting a trophy.
I would rather lose one and be the National champions than not correct what needs to be corrected and lose when it matters the most.

 

[Centerstream]

At the end of three, not looking good. But I believe that UConn will still be a 1 Seed in March even if they have 2 or 3 losses...

 

[Tenspro2002]

Collier's jump shot looks awful.

 

[BigBird]

Just lost a LOT more than a game. Oy.

 

[TitleTown]

There is NO goshdarn REASON Samuelson should have been in this game at this point! That is on GENO 10000000%

 

[ASweet3781]

So Lou was playing that many minutes when she's clearly not 100% in a December game? Why? Jesus.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Geno questioned if this team really believed all the words they were saying about last years loss and that they were ready to get revenge. Players may have been saying the right things, but their play on the court hasn't backed up their words. Yes, they had some great dominating quarter against Good Teams, but they've had plenty of lack luster quarters so far this year too. Game is not over, hope the team makes the comeback for the win.

This may be one of the most disappointing efforts I have seen from a UConn team. This team has issues.

Kia for 3!!! 68-61 ND 7:24 4th

 

[ASweet3781]

There is NO goshdarn REASON Samuelson should have been in this game at this point! That is on GENO 10000000%

He better hope this girl is not seriously injured! It's December!!! Why force her back if she's not 100%?

 

[HoopsFan21]

68-63 ND 6:47 4th TO ND

 

[JustinesGuy]

Lou was in tears as she left. More pissed I would think than raw pain? IDK?
