@donalddoowop I appreciate your insight. You seem like a knowledgeable fan and a nice guy.
Easy to relax when your 3rd or 4th shooting option is draining every shot!
This is all I need to know wrt Ice. If the coaches set goals for the team, and Ice performed as they planned, then that's cool.
The people that judge performances from box scores aren’t going to get Geno’s comment.
Azzi Fudd
Yup.
That's an interesting observation...
Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you could understand if you wanted to. How much time do you really want to spend with the ball in Jana's hands?
So far, it looks like Geno wants Jana to focus on rebounding and scoring off putbacks. She’s been able to do a bit of this. But there are flaws to this part of her game, most notably bringing the ball down low. I expect to see some development here. Her low post moves also take too long to get a shot up. As she gets more efficient I think we’ll see more passes to her in the low post.
Saw Bradley play at Yale when I was in middle school. His pre-game shooting practice was amazing!
Aubrey will help with perimeter defense. Can’t wait for her return.
Dee Kantner does not call elbows. Kantner was the ref closest to the play when a Texas player threw an elbow into Katie Lou’s eye and guess what? Spoiler alert: No call. Afterward, Katie Lou looked like she went a few rounds with Mike Tyson
The men played a game recently where UConn’s Solo Ball got hit in the face with an elbow and the ref called a foul on Solo. It was bizarre
True, she and Azzi will. AG was such a great defender.
Maybe it's just esthetics. Maybe that's what basketball should look like. My thought is that when post players play like fullbacks, something of the elegance of the game is sacrificed. There was a moment (and I'm not blaming Crooks) when she bulled into one of the Uconn post players to make space for a shot. 1) the post player was pretty surprised. 2) No foul. 3) But it was clearly a charge. There are some people who are saying, "We want it to look like that." And some who say, "No we don't."
LOL.... That is why I posted Geno's quote!
That is why I posted it! So many naysayers!!
The foul disparity is noteworthy. Never realized Morgan fouled out of the game.
Fennelly is one of the coaches that needs to be admired for not only his coaching ability (He's been at it for more than a few years) but also his positive personality that he brings to his coaching style. He coaches the right way and sets a tremendous example for his young women.
There was a recent discovery of alternate universes. I was so relieved by it because I always thought I was in a different universe that she was in when I watched our games.
I agree. Very old school. Last night all he could do was just sit there and take it. 59% from the arc is just stupid.
