Nothing wrong with the defense. Two banked in threes and a fortuate TO off MoJeff's leg; otherwise USF might have 16 points.

Exactly. Also UConn has a huge advantage inside but did not go there in the 1st quarter; not so in the 2nd quarter and they started getting paint points.

Man, playing USF is like trench warfare. Please put them way off in the opposite corner of the NCAA bracket, selection committee. :rolleyes:

Nah, they'll be the 6 seed in our region again.
 
Great Defense in 2nd quarter and offense finding its rhythm. UConn has almost gotten 4 or 5 more TO's only to have the ball bounce to a USF player for a score.

Jose recruits international players to fill out his roster and is getting a higher quality of player by doing so.
 
So Lou goes 0-3 and is the first one to sit. She comes back in and scorches the net. Must be nice being 18 and have that much self-confidence.

I get that USF is a good team. But the way they are playing UCONN, they are at least an elite 8 team. I realize you can't use MOV, and maybe their familiarity with UCONN is giving them an extra boost to be able to keep with us, but it's hard to imagine a team who lost to SJU, Miss State, Memhis, Temple, and L'ville by 17 could give UCONN this much trouble...

I've come to believe that USF is just one of those teams that gives us more trouble than it seems like they should because, for whatever reason, they seem to play better against us than they do against most teams. Kind of like in the old Big East when St. John's used to play annoyingly close games against us and had the one game when they broke the home winning streak. Not an exact parallel, and this USF team is better than those St. John's teams, but that's the general situation these USF games remind me of.

How is the university. What is it known for?

Don't know but some of the kids who play basketball come from economically-stressed countries. It's a great opportunity to get a free 4 year education and maybe get resettled in the U.S. afterwards.

Half a game is irrelevant. Close games are only close if in last 4 minutes you are right there. If you aren;'t within striking distance at that point, it doesn't matter you are still a ways away from a threat.

Just so. They are good enough to win some games in the NCAAs, depending on who they get matched up against. But they also might have a stinker agaisnt a team that's nowhere near as good as UConn. It's certainly happened to them many times this season already.

She is a shooter with no conscience, which is the absolute right attitude for a shooter.

Where does Jose find his players? Good group. I don't know Florida. Is Tampa a hard sale?
Expand ...
No Tampa is a world class place. Great weather, lots of resort beach (Clearwater), big time pro sports, Formula One race, all the cultural stuff. Nice place. But Jose finds his players from overseas.

Kia is playing with so much more confidence. Geno's tough love after her teary exit worked....
 
Stewie's 6th block of the game gives her 394 for her career, only 2 behind Rebecca for the program record.
