Just total domination! Congrats to UConn!

CL82- - - Of course they'll learn, they're great athletes with a good coach, that wasn't my point, reality check, where are they going to get the 25+ points they need and how can they hold UCONN to 70 points? They don't have the scorers on the roster to add that many points! That is what they HAVE to do to beat UCONN! THEY JUST CAN'T DO IT, the team as comprised now cannot score 80 points against UCONN and they can not hold UCONN to 70 or below! So they cannot beat UCONN in the FF or where-ever! And if you truly think they can you're delusional!

They'll learn enough to get within 20.

You just slaughtered us.

80% of you predicted a 16+ pt win or more. Cudos.

Only a dozen or more bad calls against SC ... no excuses, even given that horribly bad call to end the first half that was just horrible. You know the one, the charging foul against Bianca. No problem.

But your girls just absolutely dominated ... we can only pray to recover from this and see y'all in Tampa.

Whoever said #23 was great and would have a great game for UConn ... you were totally right. She made the difference.

Everything y'all threw-up tonight, went down.

The calls were not bad calls. The call you refer to against Bianca was a charge Stewies feet were there and Bianca dropped her should. Second the KML shot where the SC player held her arm and she pushed her away and she fell and KML hit the trey No foul on SC. The refs let them play. SC was physical and how man times was Stewie on the floor and no foul? UConn won big because they played to SC weaknesses which were pack it in, face guard Mitchell, and shoot the trey. How many times was KML open and SC didn't defend her? How many times did MoJeff make a play by either driving the lane and making a layup of penetrating and passing it out for an open shot. SC had very little dribble penetration, almost no 3 pts shooters and Sessions made 3 outside shots with a 21% shooting avg. When you lose by 25 pts its not the refs its you didn't play good enough defense, UConn was too quick.

Thanks for very gracious assessment. Here is my very humble evaluation. Your guys have talent. No doubt it is oozing from every pore. Your guys have the tools. There were flashes all night long. The uConn edge was in toughness. Our guys are in a little better shape. The big gap is in mental toughness. The little fundamental things. The uConn kids don't practice until the get it right, they practice until they can't get it wrong. This produces a focus and disciplined approach that is very hard to duplicate. It is not physical ability, but mental agility.

The Biggest differences were. SC shot 39% which I thought would've been lower and SC had no one except Mitchell who they could depend on to shot from the outside. With that said Sessions who hit 3 outside shots with a shooting percentage of around 21% and Welch who scored better then her average were big pluses for SC. Uconns inside game and quickness negated SC's inside game. Once again just like Maryland and Duke to much height without ball handlers and quickness does you no good especially against UConn. The fact that SC had to come out and guard UConn and did a poor job of it is part of the reason for UConn shooting so well from the outside. UConn ran the break and SC could not get back. With those stats winning by only 25 pts could've been worse.

UConn is at a different level then every team in WCBB. They continually win almost every game by double digits. Theres a reason for that...UConn is that good. Geno is the reason why.
