Kansas State Game Thread

Gabby picked up two bad fouls.

This game may be far from over. So long as UConn's hitting from outside, everything's fine. But reversion to the mean in shooting percentage plus maybe some fatigue from the past 4-5 days of play and travel could make the 2nd half far more competitive. Running on fumes, plus no bench....

bags you are wearing me out.

K-State is scrappy. They are not going away.

 

[HuskyNan]

And here I thought UConn was up by 16 in the first half.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Butler just not improving her game.

 

[TitleTown]

KSU is attacking Butler every trip now

 

[huskeynut]

Nice move by Nat for 2.

Really impressed by Crystal's overall defensive improvments.

 

[HoopsFan21]

What was the foul? I didn't think Butler even touched her

 

[psconn]

Wow. Was there any contact on that Nat foul?

[huskeynut]

That was not a foul on Nat. There was no contact.

 

[HuskyNan]

Mittie is a very good coach. Anyone who thought KState would be a pushover isn't aware of his history.

 

[Schoup]

Poor 2nd qtr.

 

[HoopsFan21]

45-31 :10.4 2nd TO UConn

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Leaving Weseman open seems like great strategy.

 

[TitleTown]

Why arw we sagging 10 feet off of jump shooters?

 

[JordyG]

Need to see more Gabby in the 2nd half.

 

[HoopsFan21]

45-31 half, Crystal Dangerfield just missed a 3 at the buzzer

 

[Millenial23]

Is it annoying anyone else that the announcers keep saying 'Katie Samuelson'??? It's Katie LOU!

 

[TitleTown]

We are so worried about helping on Lewis that they are getting wide open looks

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Outscored by 7 over the last 5 minutes.

 

[StephStorrs]

KLS and Kia in double figures at the half with 19 and 11 respectively. Crystal Dangerfield leads rebounds at 4 with Pheese and Kia behind her at 3 a piece. Nice spread of assists from everyone as well!

A few bad defensive possessions for the Team. Especially KLS leaving K State's best player wide open for a 3. Don't understand ball is pass into the corner, KLS guarding player and she decides to leave her player and I guess to go guard another player. Player makes KLS making a WIDE OPEN 3 point shot. K State out scores UConn 23-20 in 2nd quarter. Geno will have a lot to say in the locker room.

And yet, up by 14 on the road, with a short bench.

People are forgetting the preseason expectations, that this young team, with players in unfamiliar roles against a brutal schedule, would struggle. The games may be uneven at times with dopey turnovers and fouls and other assorted mistakes but these are sophomores, freshmen, and former role players depended on to fill Breanna & Co's shoes. Geez.
