Morgan cheli for helping to kick start the offense in second quarter with a couple of 3 pointers

I’d give it to Sarah Strong but an HM to Morgan. In addition to her 3 point shots she showed play making skills in the half court offense and was disruptive on defense.

KK’s second half earned her third for me. Beautiful moves to the basket and really good perimeter defense. First half was a different story.

Fourth was Chen.

I felt Ice’s outlet pass to Sarah was her best play. Four of the five other assists were to open perimeter shooters who made their threes. Nothing close to that incredible pass by Sarah to a cutting Paige. Otherwise she was average at best setting screens and wandered aimlessly in half court sets until the end of the game when she made her mid range shots. She’s too good a player to be passive.

I wrote this concerned that what I wrote was inappropriate for this thread. The next thing I did was check out Geno’s post game interview and he pretty much echoed my thoughts. So a little less concern now.

I was going to this thread to say the same thing. While this wasn’t exactly a coming-out game, it certainly was a shot across the bow. If she continues to show this kind of energy, that’s a really good sign for UConn and the players who can benefit from a little more rest each game.

Sarah is the best freshmen front court player since Stewie.

this has been a consistent virtue from the beginning for morgan, and it stands out. she'll have a great career at uconn, but i hope she's not now getting applause just when she makes some treys because that's really not her strength (yet). her strength -- kinda like nika -- is she makes things happen for the team. she is energy. a spark.

SS for sure, but no HM for Kaitlyn? 14 points on 5/9 shooting with 3/5 from the arc...and 7 assists with 0 TO. Probably her best game so far.

Personally, I don’t do HM’s in the BA thread.
