I'm at game. Hearn (#4) pushes off almost every possession. She shoved Saniya back about 5 feet in a play away from the ball.

I think Mo took a shot to the gut. Game is pretty physical.

If a UConn player gets hurt on one of those decals, that would turn into the least effective advertising campaign ever. Spend money to lose customers.

The "Looooouuuuu" cheer hasn't fully caught on but I'm starting to hear it. By her senior year it should be great.

KLS has 5 turnovers after three quarters.
Not acceptable.

Nice little turn around foul line jumper for Butler

One thing I've noticed a lot this season... Whenever Courtney is in the game the ball hits the low post a lot. She spends 85% of her time with the ball looking to feed the posts. And she's pretty good at it. If this was the pros those posts would be buying her dinner a lot.

Nice post-game interview with Butler.

Wonder what Gabby was so excited about as she ran off the court.

Gabby and Kia got to choose the winners of the Fan Loyalty drawing and the student loyalty drawing. They really seemed to get into it. Usually Geno draws the names so this was something new.

Her friends got free wings!

Re Courtney feeding the post, part of that is her job, but also she spots up in case she gets the return pass, which makes the 3-point shot easier. She's 9-23 from the arc this year, for a respectable .391. Most of us expected her to be a .400 shooter, and she is just about there.

 

[OldAlum]

Gabby and Kiah seem to love drawing the names. They did at a game I went to and hammed it up. I think once again they danced their way off the court afterward! I like Kia's braids. I wonder who was doing them. They even showed Lobo's daughter sporting some fancy braids.

Nice post-game interview with Butler.

Agreed. Very mature/thoughtful. 'Course, she's a junior. She's solid now. She's going to really good.
