Georgetown Postgame Thread

I’m OK with that play, because what I watched was an extremely aggressive Jana, chasing down a rebound, fighting 2 Georgetown players to come up with the ball and then fighting through a double team to pass the ball to an open teammate. If Jana can rebound like that all the time, UConn has a real opportunity in March.

My point is just that the ref didn't see what happened but instead of letting them play on, as Jana did, the ref blew the whistle. If she didn't see what actually happened, then one of the other two would have blown their whistle if in fact a possible flagrant foul occurred. Refs can only review for a possible flagrant foul scenario, right??

Jana 18, Morgan 22. Jana played 1st half of each qtr, Morgan second half, of course a little more.

Geno also left them go for these periods, not in and out. That especially helps Jana. Some positives were Jana doing some rim protecting, blocking shots, rebounding well and passing from high post.

Challenge is she still bobbles the ball, and is a bit slow on her feet.

Morgan provides more flexibility. She has a guard's handle and quickness and can defend 1-5. She's not 6' 5" though.

I think that Jana shows her emotions on the court, that affects her play. Usually Geno will replace her when she does this and she then has a conversation with Chris.

Some times refs make mistakes. In this case the review of a potential flagrant foul by Jana got the common foul overturned. What I liked is that Jana made one hell of a play, and I wouldn’t have known that unless the ref blew the whistle.

And usually a good one. Dee Kantner would have something on Jana.

Starting center only 18 minutes. Let the post live.

UConn was down to 2 posts and when El Alfy got her 1st foul early Geno took her out. She was very good on defense and while her offense is still developing she is a massive physical presence. I like seeing UConn win ball battles.
