Italy Game and Pictures (merged)

Wonder if UConn is playing the same group of Italy All-Stars. I notice they're listed as Italian All-Stars at times.

I’ve seen references to a Rome AllStars, too.

What time are they playing today?

I wouldn't know!!

Me either Gus. My hairline started receding decades ago. It stopped when it could not go any further. I hate guys our age with a full head of hair....bastards.

Qadence appears to be a hair taller.

By “a hair”?! LOL!

The top six sellers at the Mecum Auto Auction in Monterey this weekend all were Ferraris, including $3.1 million for top seller.

Stewie has a Maserati. Work really hard on your game and you can drive a Ferrari!

Geno looks just right in that. And he can afford it! Does 150 mph work on Route 44?

Caroline back. I'm irrationally hyped about this as it's only exhibition. But glad she's healthy.

Amen to that.
When CD is feeling good, the opposition ain’t.

19-6. This is as close as the Italian All-Stars will be for the rest of the game. Please note who is leading the charge for UConn. As I've already noted in prior posts, I'm convinced that KK is the real deal. She's going to get lots of minutes this year. Geno won't be able to keep her off the floor. You don't players with her talent and ability.

Midway through the 2nd. 30-11

 

[AmeriConn]

57-13 at the half

OMG!

And by looking at these posts, the Huskies ended the first half on at least a 27-2 run.

This game is over with respect to the final outcome. At this point, it has reverted back to what it was originally scheduled to be..........an exhibition.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think that was a 38-7 second quarter!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Apparently visiting the Ferrari museum got the team into 6th gear!

One of the strengths of the men's team last year is that they could bring in player after player who was (almost) as good as the one that they were spelling. (Think Clingan replacing Sanogo) I believe the women can do that this year. We're so used to having our starters play to the point of exhaustion with substitutes only playing during garbage time. We should be able to cut individual minutes down, hopefully heading off some injuries. That can only be good for the team.

Not to mention yearend/tournament burnout and exhaustion.

I love that UCONN is getting to play ball in the summer and have a nice vacation too. But the quality of the teams they are playing is laughable and only serves as floor time for the youngsters. I would put zero weight in anything you see in these games as it pertains to what the team will do in the fall.

All 3 freshies in double-figures!

Yeah!! Looks like Geno realized this team was no competition at all, and let the freshmen play. Nothing was to be gained by playing his core players.

I found these results by googling : UCONN WOMEN's Basketball vs Italian All Stars
There was a brief article from the Stamford Newspaper with a small story line.
Q. Samuels led the team in scoring. Google for more info.

FINAL/3Q: UConn 79, Italian All-Stars 21

Did they stop the game after the 3rd quarter???
