Huskies in Italy: Game #2

[UConnCat]

the opponent is once again the Dutch National Team.

Who exactly is this Dutch National team?
The Senior team?

Or one of the under-? version thereof.

If it's the senior team, than some of the players will be older and more experienced than college kids.

Yes, Kia in da house!

They are "exactly" the same team UCONN played yesterday.

Ok. Who exactly is the Dutch National team that UCONN played yesterday?
The Senior team?

Or one of the under-? version thereof.

If it's the senior team, than some of the players will be older and more experienced than college kids.

I tried to do some investigating but I did not see anything concrete so I will try to address this with some "logic". Since the UConn outlets use the term "Dutch National team", I would think it must be the Senior team. If it was U23 or something like this and we beat them and do not say explicitly say U23, it would be a major insult to the true national team. I would think our support staff is too savy for that blunder so my vote is the senior team.

I am loving the live stream. Thanks Luca!

UCONN up 20-6 in first qtr. Looks like the starters were Collier, Samuelson, Williams, Nurse and Dangerfield

 

[UConnCat]

Starters: Danger, Kia, Lou, Napheesa and Gabby.

UConn up 20-6 in 1st Qtr. Azura first off the bench.

Lots of full court pressing on both sides.

Live feed ended? Just seeing replay stream?

Keeping the doors of the gym open and running floor fans suggests it's hot, and it's currently 87 in Rome by weather.com. Good conditioning weather for the players....

at 3:40, liking Lou's aggressive shot underneath.....

That's MY starting lineup.

And they get off to a good start. Then they bring in Z, and the opponent is demoralized.

Who did Z come in for?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kudos to Kia Nurse! From Buenos Aires to Rome, and she's in the starting lineup. That's Badass!

I hope she walked into the locker room wearing her gold medal.

certainly trust your judgment, MilfordH. But I suspect Geno will juggle this a lot over the next couple of months, and play a lot of mind games with Crystal and Z before starting lineup is settled.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Who did Z come in for?

Don't know, but probably any of the 3 frontcourt players.

I don't expect Kia to play a lot today. She has to be tired. But she sets a great example.

I agree. I think we need Crystal Dangerfield on the floor. We also need Z.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Gabby Williams looks like one of the ancient Roman sculptures. She is poised to have a season for the ages.

Luca is back live

 

[educasse]

Can someone post the score? Thank you.

 

[bizarro aj]

Hmmm Dangerfield and nurse starting guards. I wonder who said that a few weeks ago?

Today is only August 15th, so you still have ~60 days to safe your pennies.
BTW your bet had Napheesa NOT starting-AND SHE DID.

 

[bags27]

whoa, did Molly just nail one?...finally!!

Crystal is really in control of the offense....
