Hey! I thought there was going to be a game today?

[UConnChapette]

I turned into ESPNU expecting to watch a game between #1 Stanford and #2 UConn. That wasn't much of a game - from a nail-biting, edge of your seat perspective. My pulse rate never even went over the century mark. I was expecting to sweat through the game from tip to final buzzer. What a disappointment

Is UConn that much better than Stanford? Did Stanford just have a horribly off game? A little of both?

I guess Geno was right. This team has a chance to have a very special year. If any one questioned his thoughts about that, question no more. This UConn team is very, very good.

It was a nail biter for the first 2 minutes or so.

Yeah, and now I need a manicure because one nail is shorter than the rest. I need the tight games to bite my nails down evenly. Maybe ND will help me keep my nails in check.

Yeah, I was really upset....for two minutes...

Oh, don't even think about that. The ND games of the past 2 seasons would be enough to gnaw your finger nails down to the elbow.

Very telling stat.

This year's Stanford is still young. The team in 2010-11 had veterans in Pohlen, Pedersen, Nneka, et al.

Kelly held Tinkle to 2 points and covered Tinkle so close that when she went to the restroom she didn't even have room to ... errrr ..... well, you now.

It's true Tinkle never got in the flow of the game.

With CO playing like she was, Stanford needed Tinkle to be a big star...unfortunately, Tinkle was a little star.

LOL...assuming your comment was in the same vein as Icebear's restroom comment...

Even my youngest grandchild knows that...

Other than the very first bucket, when Kelly got caught peeking for the ball, Tinkle was essentially eliminated in this game.

How soon we forget. The game was tied at 5-5 through the first almost 5 and a half minutes when the teams were both averaging a 37-37 regulation score and going into an eventual OT which would be won by a single FT. Hard to believe from that miserably inoffensive start that Stanford's scoring pace actually went down a little.

Or you could say that the rest of the game was cancelled due to fierce blowout conditions.

Exactly. Nobody had even really settled in to their defensive assignments and the game flow or the offense that Stanford was set up in when Tinkle broke as Kelly had her head turned. It must have really ticked Kelly off because Tinkle was never heard from again scoring ZERO (0) additional points. Word is that Tinkle has been resettled in a witness protection program somewhere in Louisianna.
