Oh, so sick by KML.

 

[Icebear]

KML moves the lead back to 19

 

[Icebear]

Tinkle fouled Stanford to inbounds.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kaleena has expanded her repertoire!

 

[alexrgct]

That was a bailout foul on Chiney.

 

[Icebear]

Chiney fouled by Tuck, maybe.

Morgan playing nice D but getting the freshman treatment from the zebras...

 

[Icebear]

UConn up 18 with 6.4 seconds to the half and so it ends at the half.

 

[huskyharry]

CO getting the benefit of home calls lately

31 - 13 UCONN at the half...Tara says Chiney needs to trust her teammates...

 

[huskyharry]

UConn's pressure D has been very effective

 

[Icebear]

Disagree with Tara Chiney's teammates need to trust themselves. Ciney is in the post and they pass it in instead of seeking other options, too.

Reminds me of the game in San Antonio 3 years ago.

Me too a bit. But thankfully we're scoring this time.

 

[huskyharry]

Great first half...keep it up!

 

[alexrgct]

The scary thing is UConn can play a lot better on offense. Obviously, Stanford can play much, much better too, but UConn has a lot of things to talk about in the locker room in order to maintain focus.

The real difference thus far has been poise and energy more than anything. UConn has brought it.

 

[Plumber Luigi]

Now who's NOT expecting a different standard to be used for fouls in the second half?

 

[Vowelguy]

What is it with low scoring UConn/Stamford games.

Two good teams who play similarly so they know how to disrupt the other's offense.

 

[Icebear]

How many rebounds did Stef end the half with 11, 12, ...

 

[MilfordHusky]

1 assist for the Cardinal on 5 hoops. Wow!

Don't let Stanford get any momentum. Keep the crowd out of the game.

 

[Icebear]

Now who's NOT expecting a different standard to be used for fouls in the second half?

If it is like the game two years ago Stef will be called for 2 fouls in the first 2 minutes of the second half.

 

[cferraro04]

31 to 13 a palindromic lead....That's what I'm talking about.

 

[Replicant]

Oh My! That's a nice 1st half.

Charlie Creme @CharlieCreme
This is exactly what makes @UConnWBB so great. Offense is struggling, but defense is controlling the #1 team on its home floor.

 

[alexrgct]

An 18 point lead is a big, big hole. If UConn gets to 60, Stanford would need 47 points in the second half. That's a LOT of points against UConn's D. Not saying it's a guarantee UConn gets 29 in the second half, but it's a lot more plausible that happens than Stanford scoring 47.

Personally, I am really enjoying Breanna coming off of the bench.
