Message: [QUOTE="DavidinNaples, post: 2043235, member: 3537"] [ATTACH=full]19761[/ATTACH] [B]Consider two of the most critical moments in the game last night, when South Carolina doomed themselves to defeat against UConn. Lack of conditioning? Nerves? Bad luck? Or is UConn just built for these moments, in big games... ;) 1. [U]With 1:23 left to play in the 2nd period[/U], South Carolina led 29-28 and had the ball. Gray turned the ball over and SC left Napheesa unguarded at the 3 point arc. Her basket put UConn back up 31-29. In their next two possessions, South Carolina committed a turnover by Coates and a turnover by Cuevas-Moore. The last one, with 11 seconds left in the half, results in Collier's layup, a 35-29 UConn lead and big time momentum. Three possessions, three turnovers in less than a minute and a half. UConn scores the last 7 points and leads by 6. I guess conditioning is important. :rolleyes: 2. [U]In the 3rd period, with 1:10 left to play[/U], the score was 46-39 UConn. South Carolina had the ball and desperately needed to score. In the next 70 seconds, they missed 3 shots (Gray, Davis and Harris) and 2 free throws (Gray). Collier, once again, scored 5 points in the last 39 seconds to leave the Huskies up by 12 points, 51-39. Four possessions, 0 points in a minute and 10 seconds. Game over... :cool:[/B] [/QUOTE]
