Kelly warming up(AKA Game Thread)

[Vowelguy]

Hartley looks MUCH better tonite. Because she is, or because it's not ND ?

6 days of rest?

 

[CCinCT]

When we shoot about 50% and the other team shoots about 25%, we usually win. By a lot.

I've also noticed that when we score more points than the other team we almost always win

Maybe she's feeling better - God I hope so. It couldn't come at a better time. Build up her confidence, too.

Analogous to that well-known maxim in golf, which states that 90% of all putts left short do not go in

So far, so good. Freshmen playing well, Bria looking better, Stef completely unstoppable (not surprising against DePaul), KML hitting threes. Still don't like how long KML goes without good looks. Yes, the other team can impact that, but she needs the ball more.

Geno is finally using the whole team and its paying off in many ways.
Good plays from all the underclassmen.
very promising.

All-Big East 1st team player Stef Dolson has 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks at halftime.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Only 2 turnovers. There's the final piece.

 

[VAMike23]

Great first half all around. Love the patience and the ball movement, yet we also have people making things happen when they have the opening.

Best examples:

Bria with numerous upfake+dribble in+ pull-up J
MoJeff with a couple of nice curl & drives, wait to be a threat, Mo!
Morgan with a sweet post-up

And of course, KML is 100% pure as usual

I want to see much more of Tuck posting up down low as we go forward in the post season, much much more.

 

[CCinCT]

I'd like to put forth the theory that some of the reason(s) the refs have not felt the need to intrude on the game flow are:

Dee Kantner and Dennis DeMayo are not here
There is no "star" player on the other team that needs favorable treatment a la Griner and Diggins
No amount of zebra help will get DePaul into this game

That would certainly help. Stokes, Stewart, and Tuck playing significant minutes can only help Stef

Wow.....really??

 

[CCinCT]

LaChina knows her stuff - Wish she was the full time analyst

 

[VAMike23]

Bria with the little pose on that 3.....she's confident tonight!!

 

[CCinCT]

Hartley back in the groove, hopefully

 

[VAMike23]

Mo for 3!!!

 

[CCinCT]

MoJeff from long range

 

[CCinCT]

Nice pass MoJeff

 

[VAMike23]

I love that Mo is looking to be a drive-first threat on the offensive end. With her speed and handle, she has to keep the D honest with that, first and foremost.

 

[CCinCT]

Hrynko and Martin have to be VERY frustrated

 

[MilfordHusky]

The whistles in the earlier game were enough for both games.

If Hartley's back on her game, she and MoJeff penetrating will lead to a lot of good things for UCONN

 

[MilfordHusky]

The frosh have put up 17 points.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Quentin Hillsman in a suit??? What happened????? Did someone die?
