Houstonwbb comes into this game shooting 58.4 percent from free throw line. Seriously? #UConnwomen

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla 12m
Also, the Cougars have 246 turnovers and 116 assists. This should be a GREAT game #UConnwomen

By the way, I don't know if I would want my women's team nicknamed Cougars these days. Totally different connotation. #uconnwomen

I didn't know that 18-year-olds were Cougars.

Houston shoots 35% on FGs and 28% from the arc. I look for them to shoot 20% tonight and score 30.

On a bitter cold night with possibly a small crowd, I have a feeling that the team will put on a show.

Really John? Really? You're covering a women's team named "Huskies".

Besides which, I suspect, in Texas, "cougar" is more admirable than aspersion ... * rrrrraaaroooooooorrrrrr*
