Offense clicking again—UConn shooting 62% for the game, 8-for-16 from 3.

Collier in for Mo

I"d like to see most of the bench in at this point. I realize USF has starters out there and we will likely be outscored, but it seems like a 30 point cushion is enough and I think it would be good for the reserves to test themselves on offense and defense...

Up by 28 and Geno's screaming at Stewie for a walk

Stick a fork in 'em, they're done.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia, Gabby, Collier, KLS, and Stewie out there now

 

[HuskyNan]

Kia's played some great D on Stringfield.

 

[HuskyNan]

Courtney Williams visibly frustrated. She wasn't even trying to move on that possession.

Sometimes reality hits you real hard while playing UConn... and leaves a knot on your forehead. Poor Ferreira. As a side note I believe both teams have 5 separate players who have hit a 3.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice pass Lou to Collier

 

[bags27]

Samuelson: great bound and great pass!

 

[HoopsFan21]

The Big 3 exit. Chong, Butler, Ekmark in now.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Courtney Williams visibly frustrated. She wasn't even trying to move on that possession.

Still she'll have what 17, 18 pts tonight?

 

[bags27]

another bad shot selection by Lou. Much better rebounding, a few worse shots. never a straight line for a freshman....

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS out, TLaw in

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice pass Ekmark to Collier

 

[HoopsFan21]

Pulido in for TLaw

 

[HoopsFan21]

77-51 final

Ended up with 16, and 5 rebounds

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie MOP

 

[HoopsFan21]

UConn shoots 59% from the floor and 47% from 3.

 

[Huskies Rule]

That was one of the greatest defensive TEAM efforts I have ever seen. Moriah and Gabby were fantastic in shutting down C. Williams. Well done, guys. Well done.

Every basketball player loves to play offense, but the total commitment and passion with which our kids hit it on the defensive side of the ball was truly incredible.

Give USF credit. They never quit. Wish them a good tourney run.

 

[katymarie82]

will they be showing the award ceremony on the TV?

Rebecca mentioned something during the game that I found interesting. She was discussing how Geno has shortened his rotation to seven players for the NCAA Tournament in recent years. She asked him about it, and he said that he thought eight was the ideal number. I'm not sure it goes beyond seven this year, but still, it seems he'd like to use eight if they were the right eight.
