Lou looking more comfortable going to the rim.

GABBY! Holy Moly.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Gabby with a board and put back 36-24 half

 

[HuskyNan]

Wow, Gabby!

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

23-10 in q2

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

History repeating itself from last year with Gabby toughly guarding Courtney Williams.

They can do some real damage.. as you say, so long as it's far away from us!

The Gabster can be quite annoying!

Where does Jose find his players? Good group. I don't know Florida. Is Tampa a hard sale?

 

[GoUconn7961]

The defense by Jefferson on Williams was insane!

Brazil, Central Europe....

Observations on the 1st half.

1. Sometimes I think we forget how to get in position for offensive boards because we typically make so many of our shots. When we don't he has to remind them that O Boards are important

2. Mo and Gabby could defend a mongoose.

3. Nice move to give Lou a breather. She calmed down when she returned. She can rack up points real quick.

4. Coaches know they have to zone us and hope we miss shots. Every once in a while we cooperate with missing but it doesn't last!

5 I LOVE our team

He's a good coach. If he gets a couple more really good players USF could be a top 10 team.

Put USF with Tenn in the same bracket....lol

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.

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.

 

[bags27]

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.

How is the university. What is it known for?

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.

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.

That was a quick answer.
