Here we go...game thread UConn vs ND

[flatcoatmom]

Are we ever going to have a game where it's just 5 on 5?

why is Doris so in love with Diggins?!?!? sheesh .....

 

[justML]

I am so proud of this young team of ours. This season was so exciting and next year will be even better!

Now I need to breathe into a paper bag for a few minutes

Sad to see us self-destruct after a great game

We needed to win this one in regulation. Novosel won it for them when she got that basket with 4 secs. left and we couldn't get a shot off.

 

[Vowelguy]

that is a great defensive play by Diggins -- and it absolutely kills me to type that.

Yup. The pivotal play of the game.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Great game, great game, lousy ending.

 

[UConnChapette]

Nice McBride. Game is over, and you tackle Tiffany?

 

[flatcoatmom]

I hope Griner dunks at least twice in the final game - on the way to killing ND!!

You answered your own question!

This score is going to look the worse for the foul shooting, making it look a lot worse than it was. I am really sad. I would have loved them to have the win.
They played hard, but at the end, couldn't get it done. I am still so proud of them, my Huskies. And who ever wins the second game, I hope they kick ND's butt!!

[Replicant]

The turn-overs, bad decisions and Doris Burke are making me vomit.

 

[CCinCT]

Horrible announcing team. Doris should have her credentials revoked.

Go LADY BEARS !

I don't think ND can beat Baylor.

This game basically came down to a couple of ND seniors making big shots at the end when they needed it. And we couldn't quite respond in kind, given the short time left. Nothing to hang our heads about.

This was not like either of the earlier two ND losses.

Tiff's not perfect, who is? but gave it all and didn't back down. A true Husky warrior !

 

[NutmegDog]

If I never hear Doris Burke's faux-gravitas again it'll be too soon.

Sad ending to Tiff's career. UConn almost stole the game in Reg Time. One offensive Rebound from making the Championship game. Geno had a small lineup in which favored ND on rebounds.

Very well said.

Still possible, but fat lady can be heard warming up..... will take some fireworks to silence her

Another year I root for a non big east winner in the finals. Can't stand Diggins hate Burke cant wait till I see her someday in CT will tell her what I think about her comments

 

[Vowelguy]

She made multiple key plays down the game, including THE block that changed it all.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Poor Stef - she played her heart out - incredible game, and next year things will be different.

 

[RoyDodger]

We were so close to victory in the closing seconds. The overtime loss is so similar to the first game vs. ND. Wait till next year!

 

[Icebear]

Faux gravitas, exactly the correct term.

 

[Blueballer]

Congrats to ND. Hey, they're better than us this year (But not by much). 3 out of 4 this season so what else can you say? Great job by the UCONN women getting there and showing fight. Lots of good things to take from this game going into next year.
We can used that unfinished business line!

 

[CCinCT]

I would even root for Stanford over ND.

 

[VAMike23]

UCONN 3 - 13 from 3pt land,

tough to bring home the W with that % against a gritty, experienced ND squad
