Mo Jett is a killer

 

[Dove]

Nice end to 2nd quarter

 

[HuskyNan]

I guess the person wondering about UConn's stop-n-pop ability can relax now.

 

[HoopsFan21]

36-32 half

 

[SCGamecock]

Nice 7-0 run by UCONN to close the quarter.

 

[HuskyNan]

Saniya is a factor on defense - so happy for her.

 

[Blueballer]

Chong with a very nice contribution at the end of the 2nd quarter. Don't count her out on the depth chart!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Chong the best Husky in about 3 minutes of PT.

 

[SallyH]

Chong looks great.

 

[Kaizen]

Go Chong.....

 

[Soxx]

Walker-Kembrough really dangerous.

 

[Hongster]

I think Mo Jeff will shine for us in the second half.

 

[Sonny44]

Need Stewie to take over.

 

[SCGamecock]

Brenda Frese will learn what kind of team she has in the 2nd half. Will they buckle under the pressure or push back?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Need Stewie to take over.

I think they need to play smart, team basketball. If they did they'd probably win by 20+. Not sure what they played the first half.

 

[HuskyNan]

Need Stewie to take over.

The others need to make more shots so that MD has a reason to stop packing it in in the paint. They're double- and triple-teaming Stewie because the TO's and poor shooting haven't given them a reason to change.

Credit MD. Very nice game for them. UCONN passing -- pathetic sloppy. Getting outhustled. I disagree with Rebecca regarding "settling." Many shots are wide open after passing. They just aren't hitting that well this year from 3.

 

[Kaizen]

UConn should not make any TO...

 

[Wbbfan1]

More Competitive 1st half then I thought it would be due to Maryland's quickness and gambling on defense. Hasn't hurt that team has 13 TO's due to sloppy passing and hands of stone. There were lapses on defense in the low post that enabled Jones to get some easy baskets (she has 10 PTs). Maryland guards beat UConn down the floor twice for easy layups. Still UConn leads 36-32 with less then stellar play.

Although Collier has 5 boards and hustling, her offensive game is not in sync.

I'm guessing Geno will address the lack of help defense in the post. Jones is big and quick, very difficult to guard one on one.

I'm guessing Geno will address the lack of help side defense in the post. Jones is big and quick, very difficult to guard one on one.

Yes, and not nearly enough motion with the offense.

 

[Dove]

"Pound the glass! Pound the glass!"

YEAH!!!!

 

[HuskyNan]

Good D by Morgan to force the 3 sec call.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice pass Mo to Gabby for 2 pts 38-32 9:20 3rd

 

[HuskyNan]

Defense is at a different level so far.
