Crystal seeing the team needs a boost and takes over. 3pt shot from 5 ft beyond the arc

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Running game is great! Half Court game needs work.

 

[huskeynut]

Spacing is still off for the offense.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Stevens much better today, since she's looking for her inside game first. Geno probably told her to rein it in on the 3's.

 

[Kaizen]

Z is on fire ..6 rebs, 11 pts

 

[huskeynut]

Pick-n-roll Pheesa to Z. And 1.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kyla in for Megan

 

[huskeynut]

Pheesa to Kia on the backdoor cut.

 

[Kaizen]

Megan was wide open so many times

 

[HoopsFan21]

42-17 2:18 2nd TO UConn

 

[JordyG]

23 doin' some work today! Go Z!

 

[Kaizen]

Z is every where....LOL

 

[huskeynut]

Z crashing the boards again for 2.

 

[HoopsFan21]

46-21 half

 

[JavaMan]

Halftime stats.

Let's see if they got it right with their update.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Don't like the zone against their 3-point shooting.

A team getting hot from 3 is just about the only way we could lose a game, and we shouldn't orient our defense to make that easier. (Not that this game is at all in jeopardy, but something for down the line.)

Geno rightly pessimistic. just another terrible start.

 

[JordyG]

MSU's 3's and UConn lack of same kept this closer than the on court play showed. UConn dominated in all aspects.

The floor is suppose to look like that, the perimeter of trhe floor is designed to be the large pine trees that grow in the PNW. The center of the floor is natural. I agree it is distracting for tv viewers, but thge design is suppose to be there, Gambels roof design last year was not planned or art in any form.

Baskets in the Paint at the half
UConn 7 + 10 = 17
Trojan Wannabe's 2+0 =2

Official stats have it 16 to 1.................They are wrong

 

[eebmg]

Geno gives thumbs up to Z and not too happy with Megan in half time assessment. Interesting he did not mention Crystal. I think she has reached a level where spectacular play is the norm and does not need to be mentioned.

 

[LasVegasYank]

Stat sheet is wrong. Megan had a 2 pointer.

 

[CTexpatinFL]

Half time stats missed a basket ny Megan ??

Mich St has 12 of their 21 points from the 3 point line. Meanwhile UConn has shot 1 - 13 from the 3 point line for 3 points. Just think what the score would be if UConn has shot their usual approx 40% from three point line. UConn leads 46-21 at the half

As some predicted in the prediction thread Mich St has not played the level of competition to prepare them for UConn or for that matter many of the Top 10 teams. Don't know why so many teams play cupcakes just to get wins. Don't have to play a UConn type schedule but at least play Top 50-100 teams.

The first year the arena opened I think was the 2010-11 season. The original floor you could not make out the half court line, it blended in with the trees(there were more trees back then)
