Memphis Game Thread

[EricLA]

Precious little to complain about but... Since the first quarter UCONN has only outscored Memphis by 8, including being "down" 3 midway thru the 4th quarter...

 

[BigBird]

Huskies doing well, but getting a little disjointed late in the game. Perhaps some player combinations are unfamiliar.

Jefferson has passed Laura Lishness into 9th place on the assists list according to Megan.

 

[BigBird]

Nice assist by Nat!

Oops! She did have a big second half and was MOP, so that makes sense.

How about Collier and KLS getting to double digits in scoring? Great game for Chong, Butler and Ekmark to get some PT... Memphis is not a bad team. They have some good players and run some solid stuff. They played UCONN tough after a disastrous first quarter.

Really, zero for any of the "boobirds" to complain about in this game. Everyone got to play and everyone got to contribute...!

 

[Jimbo]

That makes 99 double-digit wins in UConn's last 100 games.

They're MIA this game. Katie Lou was great and Saniya solid as a backup so there was no one to bash.

I missed most of the game - going to have to watch- but Geno way overreacted benching Ekmark. It seems that's what he did - for the shot she took. Maybe it was also for her transition defense. If it was -- then okay. I'd have to see again.

Katie Lou doesn't have to be Breanna. She'll be fine just being herself. However, for the sake of comparison, she's a better 3-point shooter and a better passer. She will never be the shot blocker that Breanna is, but she has a chance to be a dominating offensive player. I would like to see Napheesa get back on her game. Gabby, Katie Lou, Napheesa and Natalie will be key in the tournament. Saniya, if she can stay healthy, will also help. Natalie is the big body that will give Breanna and Morgan rest and keep them from getting pounded. The others give them the depth they need to wear other teams down.

She is neither of these things at the moment.

I didn't think Natalie had her best game tonight. However, I think she'll be ticked off and come out like gangbusters next game. She's still a young player.

Just give it a freaking rest, will you?

You need a lesson in objective analysis which includes less emotion.

You need to drop your anti-Katie Lou bias. The kid improved exponentially today.

And fandom is all about emotion. I love this team, warts and all. I see the warts but trust the coaching staff to either cover them up or correct them.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I have no anti-KLS bias and my comment had nothing to do with her performance today. Again, you decide to emote and get upset over nothing. The initial assertion that she's a better passer and 3-pt shooter at this time than Breanna Stewart is demonstrably false.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

People see what they want to. Case in point.

Nice post-game interview from Mo. Apparently there was a Mo fan club waiting for her after the interview.
