Huskies vs. USF Game Thread

When does Laksa graduate, lol

When Collier and Lou do

Offense continues to be outstanding. Pretty disappointing quarter on the defensive end though, like the 2nd half of the first game against Temple.

 

[HoopsFan21]

56-38 half

Laksa... sheesh.

Don't really like that the Huskies are in a shooting contest with USF, but I like the fact that they are winning it.

Pheesa has been incredible. Again. 21 points at the half.

With how the Refs are calling this game, any1 see a potential Tulane game where USF makes it interesting.

While USF has made some tough shots with players right with them. They have had a lot of Open Looks. Not the best Team Defense for UConn.

UConn had a 20 point lead then USF had a furious flurry and ended up...up 20 at the half.

Baskets in the Paint at the half
UConn 14 (8-6)
USF 9 (2-7)

Way too many baskets for USF.

With Kara announcing, think Pheesa just locked up AA!

Nah shots are falling for UConn tonight unlike against Tulane. Tonight shooting 58%, against Tulane it was 38%.

 

[HuskyNan]

Laksa... sheesh.

The kid could shoot blindfolded and standing on one leg and still get nothin' but net. She's something else.

Anybody notice how Crystal Dangerfield's defense is starting to look more and more like MoJett?

Exactly my thought

From your mouth to the committee 's ears!

 

[Jimbo]

I stand corrected.

If only ESPN could give us a closer view of the action, we'd probably be able to see who the refs are calling fouls on in the first place!

UConn leads despite playing 5 against 8. That was a charge into KLS, not a travel. Saniya did not even touch the player she "fouled". Natalie got pushed in the back on one rebound - no call. She got mugged on another rebound, no call until they called her for a foul when both players fell. I am really surprised Geno has not ripped into these terrible refs.

Andy Landers has got some game tonight !

Defense is really good. A couple of lucky, bad form shots dropped in for Florida, and the refs have helped a lot as well.

Nope

This game had a nicer flow to it until the whistles started blowing. Another thing I find amusing is USF the offense. I've been watching them in a few games lately and their offense has been putrid. Yet in this game they get down 20 and then get all loosy goosy and start hitting shots from all over the place. Not just threes but off balance, running circus shots. Whatever.

 

[oldude]

I really like the Beth/Kara team. Not a lot of silly extraneous comments

 

[osceola48]

Butler Hands of Stone caused that Foul. If she holds on to the Rebound no foul on that play.

True, but she was mugged under there. No call.

Didn't she say at the beginning of the game 3 AAs for UConn? Pheesa, KLS and Gabby.

Glad you two reminded me of something I meant to say earlier. I was really pleased to hear Kara say early in this game that she sees three All-Americans coming from UConn (again) this year. I'm pretty sure most everyone here is on board with that, but it was even nicer to hear it from a respected voice like Kara's from outside the BY bubble.

UConn needs to start fast and effectively in the second half, and extinguish any residual USF dreams of a "Tulanish" second half rally.
