well...I think that Kelly also gets props, too. Loved the ovation she got, well deserved.a beautiful brand of basketball. UConn Style!
those backdoor plays worked to perfection... Geno went in his man-purse and pulled out his 2008-09 playbook!

It was a high risk play and given her 4 fouls she probably shouldn't have attempted it, but it was clean and no foul. On the other hand you can't tell a honey badger to not be a honey badger.Kelly's last "foul" was a think of beauty. Body control, hand on top of the ball, and from my vantage, not a hint of foulness.
It's the same playbook. He always makes some adjustments during the NCAA's as compared to the regular season. They are running the same offense, just creating some different cuts off of it.a beautiful brand of basketball. UConn Style!

You can, but they won't listen to you, because they don't care.On the other hand you can't tell a honey badger to not be a honey badger.
Yep, UConn players frequently wear those.Did anyone else notice during one of her under-the basket mini naps, the camera angle showed that she was wearing armor plated compression/sliding shorts under her uniform? No wonder she can take all those dives. (Not TMI I hope).
Tiffany certainly was all over the floor, literally, and it appeared that she was well prepared for it.

yup they've been wearing those for years... Geno says they dress like they're going to warYep, UConn players frequently wear those.

I think you are very right. Geno would not want to defang Kelly.Neither Geno nor CD were upset with Kelly for picking up her 5th foul that way. I'm not sure that Kelly instructions weren't to just go play, rather than to avoid her 5th foul at all cost. UConn had control of the game when Geno put her back in. I thought he put her in to settle the team down and buy some rest for a couple of players, but didn't put her in with the expectation that she was going to be anything other than a honey badger. Sometimes coach's have different expectations from what fans assume.
Plus, as noted elsewhere, the technical on Mitchell a half minute before possibly put the refs in make-up set of mind, as they whistled UConn 3 times in the next few minutes. Probably thought Mitchell would change his next comment to, "You're missing a lousy game" if they didn't call it on Kelly. UK came into the game ranked 324th of 336 teams with 19.7 fouls per game, so 22 was pretty much the standard for them.It was a high risk play and given her 4 fouls she probably shouldn't have attempted it, but it was clean and no foul.
