LSU Game Thread

[huskeynut]

Between Charlie Creme plus Gail and Beth reminiscing about Nicki DeMoss, coaching, etc., we went 12 minutes with no game commentary, ugh...

The commentary is very sad.

The commentary is very sad.

Even Doris might have a problem with this game.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier for 3!!! 74-48

 

[JavaMan]

Missing the screens of the past.

And missing the passing of the past.

 

[Sonny44]

Need 8 for wings.

 

[Jimbo]

Molly's on the board! Assist by Kyla.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice cut by Bent and pass by Kyla

 

[huskeynut]

Backdoor cut - Irwin to Bent. Nice!

 

[JavaMan]

Even Doris might have a problem with this game.

They're just not comporting themselves as well as they should.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier fouls out

 

[HoopsFan21]

TLaw is in

 

[Go/huskies]

Interesting the team has been calling Azura Stewie light! And Geno went on to say Stevens will be the #1 draft pick in 2019.

 

[HoopsFan21]

76-53 final

 

[OldAlum]

Crystal having some freshman moments tonight.

 

[Sonny44]

No wings!

 

[Blue Huskie]

Solid road win against a very physical team.

 

[iri10]

Well, it's a comfortable win. Don't think it's the kind of win that Geno will jump for joy over, though. Teachable moments, eh?

 

[johnnyc]

Good win on the road.

 

[Naples Husky]

Well no one got hurt ...Kyla got some time. Gabby did not foul out. Kia made some 3's. Lou on fire ..

 

[Plebe]

Good win on the road.

Not so crazy about the 20 turnovers and 17 offensive rebounds given up. LSU actually took 16 more field-goal attempts than UConn, and both teams made the same number of field goals (22). The difference: 3-pointers (14-26 vs. 0-4) and free throws (18-21 vs. 9-17).

Lots of those teachable moments. Very sloppy.

They think Azura will be #1 pick in WNBA... awesome.

 

[Blue Huskie]

We're there lots of TO's , yes. Sloppy , yes. But watch the replay if you're able to. Even though we got many open threes, everything inside the perimeter was contested. In fact all of our movement was contested as well. Bumping every cutter and bodying up on every player. LSU was out manned but they played hard. Their style of play creates "sloppy". But the silver lining is - Good to endure these types of things to get used to the physicality of some teams.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Solid road win against a very physical team.

That was the worst played game by a UConn team in at least five years. LSU played hard--I'd suggest harder--but UConn was awful except for the three point shot.

 

[Mdoggie]

Good gals 79, tiggers 56

Close. Good call

 

[Sluconn Husky]

And the officiating was dreadful. The female ref was especially bad but not alone in badness.

It was physical, but most of them seem to be overthinking things, or trying to go too fast. All fixable. Happy to see all the kids getting playing time. They all need the experience for post-season.

 

[Mdoggie]

78-54

Another close call. Good job!

They need to ditch the Marconi Method of passing and try another model.

You know that Geno played primarily freshmen and sophomores, right?

Boy, this after the third game of the season, a 23 point win on the road with a new team led by a bunch of young players. The crowd here can be brutal.
