Just got back from the game...love the atmosphere there...good to see the fans back in large numbers. A few observations in no particular order.

1. When I left with about 10 seconds to go UConn was winning a palindromic victory (75 to 57); When I got home I noticed the score was 75 to 58 meaning that somehow Indiana managed to get to the line with 10 seconds to go and somehow managed to eliminate the palindrome.

AE rebounded the ball and casually bounced it out of bounds. I think she thought the half was over. I also think that the way the half ended fueled our 2nd half start.

AE did but the clock stopped at 1.3 and by the time the ball bounced out of bounds the clock should have run out. Surprised the refs didn’t check that. If they did and didn’t correct it they were more incompetent then they looked!

I am going to watch the replay to verify, but it seemed to me live that Aaliya heard the shot violation buzzer, so she was bouncing the ball to the ref so UConn could inbound. Instead, the ref blew the whistle, gave IU the ball and presto a 3...

ND did not choke. That was a great game.

Sorry, but ND absolutely gave the game away on that late steal. Mabrey made cardinal sin of turning her back allowing Perez to make the steak and score. I’m glad ND list, but I was hoping it would be UConn that took them out.

This was a very lossable game and the final score wasn't indicative of how hard Indiana made things for us. The run to start the 3rd Q was the difference and kudos to Indiana for not letting UConn run away with the game. In the end UConn rebounding was too much for Indiana to overcome. Indiana lost but they play a pretty game and sure as heck can make medium range jumpers.

This has been an odd season what with Co-vid cancellations and injuries and more injuries that made finding a set rotation impossible until late in the season. After all the debate as to how good we are, playing in the BE and all, we are now at the point where how good we are will become clear. Next up NCS, and if chalk talks Stanford and SC after that. Beat those three teams and this UConn team will be the stuff of legends.

They really seemed to race ahead after Geno put in Westbrook and Ducharme. At one point they were up 20.

Agreed, that short spurt when Caroline was in was a tremendous boost and UConn never looked back. That small lineup with one big set the tone. Everyone stepped up after that and stretched it out. UConn’s depth is huge. No let down when subs come in.

Not to excuse Alliyah, but it looked like she confused the 24 second buzzer with the end of the half horn.
Watching the replay, the clock actually stopped at 1.3 seconds when she rebounded the ball. Perhaps that shot clock buzzer confused the timekeeper too.
More time had to come off the clock when she threw the ball into the stands. The refs should have reviewed and adjusted the time.

Ridiculous! ND played a great game. Mabreys TO was at a bad time but to say the team/program choked is juvenile. ND gave nothing away. State took it literally.

Caroline can play guard or forward, I would not call her small. The kid can jump and rebound. At the same time I would not call her a “big”.

and kinda funny after the fact

Ummm - Nika has been lights out from three for two games! But has only gotten 2 shots and the team just can't seem to run screening actions for her! Meanwhile they from Fudd for 10 threes! :cool:

Simple reason. Azzi is a much better 3-point shooter than Nika is....

Do you realize how exhausting it is to maintain that ear to ear grin the whole game??
Azzi is having the time of her life!

I went to the dentist the other day to have a filling done. After about 3 minutes my jaw hurt bad. I admit Im a wuss, but just sayin.

I was there too...it was stomach wrenching. I most certainly gasped and swore at the same time.

Naw, looked that way on TV too. A couple successful inbounds could've won it.

They struggled to inbound the ball. But they tried to avoid the fouls by over- passing. If ND just held the ball in the last 20 seconds, NC State would have had to foul them.

Yeah, State turned it up defensively and choke is a hard word but despite her great game, Miles came up one play short.
