51-30 1:08 3rd TO UH 16-2 run by UConn

 

[Ozimoto]

The shooting is beginning to warm up, but an atypical shooting night overall.

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS another 3!!! 54-30

 

[HoopsFan21]

54-30 end 3rd, UConn ends the quarter on a 19-2 run

 

[HuskyNan]

KLS with a three, score now 54-30 UConn after a 19-2 run.

 

[Wbbfan1]

End of 3rd quarter on a 19-2 Run Lead by 24 end of 3rd quarter 54-30 UConn

Best chance against UConn: slow the game to a crawl limiting possessions, play zone defense, and trap Stewart when she gets the ball near the lane.

Love this tweet by Carl Adamec.

@CarlAdamec: Memo to high school coaches: After next season, check if Tierney Lawlor wants to coach and hire her as assistant/JV. She knows the game.

I've been think that all season. She spends 90% of the game on one knee in front of her seat and is always involved. She really understands the game from what I can tell.

I guess those 3's are good shots now that they went in.

And-- Stewie deserved to be pulled. Good job Butler -- and Gabby.

 

[Storrsbred]

Butler has leadership qualities that are popping up. Wouldn't surprise me that by her senior season she is a captain.

 

[Jimbo]

Butler's got a predilection for long, aggressive outlet passes that many UConn players on this roster don't have. They haven't all been effective or safe, but it's something I don't mind seeing attempted, regardless.

I agree with this 100%. They haven't all worked, but I love the idea. This is also the reason I never thought Butler's perceived (by some posters) slowness in running the floor would hinder our transition game. Sometimes a transition game's best friend is a defensive rebound followed by a strong outlet pass.

All that goes away if Tuck is on the court and KSL sticks her 3's.

Mo for 3!!! 57-30

And-- Stewie deserved to be pulled. Why? Good job Butler -- and Gabby.

And Gabby is on the court.

Is Napheesa sick? She hasn't played much tonite.

 

[Jimbo]

Difficult turnaround mid-range jumper by Nurse. Hopefully her shooting slump is history.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Butler inside for 2! 61-30 7:33

 

[Blue Huskie]

Yeah for some folks when the threes are falling then the sky isn't

 

[HoopsFan21]

Lots of talk about Tuck coming back.. "Geno not so sure she's coming back"

 

[Jimbo]

Love that bank shot by Butler, and the fist pump after it went in!

 

[HuskyNan]

Courtney now in.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I hope Tuck gets on the wall. Can you imagine if she does leave and doesn't get on the wall?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Put in TLAW!!!
