Liberty @ Sky - 5/20/18

[Orangutan]

Your self-appointed official Sky correspondent checking in.

The seats are way closer to the action at Wintrust Arena compared to Allstate Arena. And the face price of my season ticket seat went down by $5. Not bad.

In NYC, on MSG+. Looking forward to UConn vs UConn.

 

[Orangutan]

Gabby's help defense in the post is really good. She times the double team well and has very good hands.

 

[Geew1992]

Confused...I thought Russell was waived

 

[eebmg]

Kia Nurse with long hair. Gone corporate.

 

[Carnac]

Nurse and Gabby in the game at the same time. These games are a nice diversion during the summer until UConn gets ready to begin practice. We get to see all of the UConn alums getting after it.

 

[Orangutan]

Nurse looks skinnier in person than I expected.

Diamond had a terrible quarter. She is trying to force things that aren't there and the refs aren't going to give a rookie the benefit of the doubt.

Her passing decision-making is very shaky so far.

Oh man. Nurse just put Gabby in the spin cycle

 

[UConnCat]

Gabby and Nurse both looking good.

Nurse just schooled Gabby on the break.

 

[UConnCat]

Diamond doing things from her Tennessee days.

 

[Carnac]

She was. The announcer said she was signed because of injuries to Liberty players.

Maybe it's the hair extensions down to her butt.

Coates looking good tonight.

 

[Roger G]

Nurse has lost at least ten pounds, I'm sure. She could be mistaken for Bria now

 

[Orangutan]

I don't know what's more perplexing: Amber Stocks' hockey substitutions or that the 2s are outplaying the 1s.

Then again the 2s have the better point guard and don't have Diamond making turnovers.

 

[Kaizen]

I really like her long hair ... look so fresh and pretty.

Black is very slimming.

Nurse actually lost about 10 lbs between her jr and sr seasons at UConn.

 

[Carnac]

Gabby and Nurse both looking good.

Nurse just schooled Gabby on the break.

It's hard to root for either team because they both have multiple UConn alums. Liberty has 4.
The Liberty is having a hard time keeping Kia on the bench. She's getting a lot of playing time in the first half, and is doing well!!

 

[Orangutan]

Maybe it's the hair extensions down to her butt.

Coates looking good tonight.

Coates looks good and Parker also appears significantly improved

They said something like she was added to the roster after some injuries / shortened roster. No details. Looks pretty invisible to me. What a contrast to Coates who is as physical as a bull.

 

[Kaizen]

Kia for 3 ...

 

[eebmg]

Nurse put a forehand shiver into Coates chest to get some space and than drilled a 3.

 

[Roger G]

Parker played really good yesterday too.

 

[Kaizen]

Tina 17, Kia 11, Gabby 12 pts ... good UConn players

 

[Orangutan]

Total phantom call on Gabby's last foul. Zahui threw it right to Dolson and I guess the ref felt bad for her?

 

[Orangutan]

These replay reviews are out of control. Quigley was 6 inches behind the 3-pt line and they still go to the monitors to check.
