Hope this worksDoes anyone know where one can find a stats sheet from this game? Looking for more than your ESPN box score.

I absolutely agree, but 1 or 2 minutes won't let it happen.I’d still love for Amari to blossom and have a breakout game that showcases all that potential she has. Shame for such a positive teammate with such potential to struggle to realize it.
I thought 7 playedStill cannot believe we beat a #10 team by 22 pts with only 5 players ..
Was also bad call the NCS player was falling before Azzi got there.Caroline did have a corner 3 waived off due to offensive foul called on Azzi who passed to Caroline
I believe AE's fouls all came in the final 5 minutes which I chalk up to fatigueI thought Aaliyah played incredibly well. She outplayed the bigs on NC State by a wide margin. And they are big. River Baldwin is massive. Aaliyah still commits some bad fouls and with Dorka out for a while, we need her to stop doing that so she can stay on the floor. We need her more than ever.
Isn't the rule that you have 5 years to play 4 seasons? Next year would be her 5th year. My understanding is Covid didn't add any more time in which you could complete your eligibility, just that the 2020-21 season doesn't count against it, so you could play 5 seasons in 5 years if you wanted.Aubs can come back next year, if she wants, and possibly the following year. She gets a year for Covid and possibly a year for back surgery.
Oh, I know. I've been hoping and hoping ,also, that she just gets some minutes. There aren't many 6'5"s around.True ’dat, but they recruited her. There’s got to be something there.
by anxious, I mean hoping
Next time, take the spread and run with it.It is interesting that UCONN was favored by 9 points over #3 Texas, but was only favored by 2 1/2 over #10 NC State today.
Do you think Dorka's absence influenced the pointspread?
IMO Stanford lacks a point guard and players who can create their own shot. Only Jones and Brink seem to be able to create their own shotIf you didn’t watch the Stanford - South Carolina game won by SC in overtime, you missed a great game. It wad much better than ours. SC gutted it out. Stanfod went cold in the 3rd qtr, and SC closed the gap.
Stanford made two critical mistakes in the closing moments in regulation and overtime. Tennessee loses to unranked UCLA. A great day for WCBB.
Massey uses somewhere between 2.5 and 3 points for home court for most teams.In general home court advantage is around 10 pts ....
Aubrey get a Covid year and a redshirt year, two more after this yearMy impression is that while the 4 seasons of play can be done in 5 years...it also can be done in 6....perhaps
requiring a special application by the player.
I always thought it was 3 pointsMassey uses somewhere between 2.5 and 3 points for home court for most teams.
They have a column HFA = Home Field (court) Advantage and it varies by team. The highest is 3.0 Oral Roberts and the lowest is 2.6 for CS Sacramento.I always thought it was 3 points
1) How do you not get the ball in bounds?If you didn’t watch the Stanford - South Carolina game won by SC in overtime, you missed a great game. It wad much better than ours. SC gutted it out. Stanfod went cold in the 3rd qtr, and SC closed the gap.

I gave the 9 points vs. Texas & lost due to two meaningless Longhorn baskets in the last ten seconds. Live & leran!Next time, take the spread and run with it.
What game did you watch, AE didn't commit her first foul until well into the second half. She knew she was needed to be on the floor the whole game and she stepped up and didn't start committing fouls until the game was out of hand.I could see something going on after the National Anthem on the court but it wasn`t clear what it was until it became clear. It was very scary. The players ran off the court and most of them were crying. It crossed my mind that they might call the game. There was a ten minute delay so the players came out and got more shots up. But everything felt uneasy given our worries about Chris Dailey.
Driving home I listened to Bob Joyce interviewing Morgan Valley (he usually interviews Chris Dailey) and Morgan was very reassuring about the health of Chris. Thank God.
With Dorka out and all that going on, it would have been understandable for UConn to come out flat. But Aubrey was in the starting lineup for the first time in forever and she was not about to let that happen as she led the charge to a 9-0 opening lead. It is great to see her out there playing at such a high level. It was NC State that looked flat.
This was a TEAM effort. Everyone did what they do best.
Lou had a crazy game. She looked like she didn`t belong to be out there in the first half, and then she goes off for 20 in the second. She just keeps playing. I was happy to see her continue to let it fly.
A few words about my fav, Nika. First, in recent years I have observed UConn guards having struggles getting the ball into the post. Tonight, Nika made a number of perfect interior passes into the post with Aaliyah - great angles and placement. Aaliyah did her part as well, solid post ups. But where Nika really shines is in the open court. I try to watch closely and try to see what she is seeing, and she is always looking, while moving forward left or right, setting things up so that when she finally delivers the pass the player will be open. Very intuitive, great feel. Her pass at the end of the first half to Edwards is not one that very many players could make, and it got us up 7.
She had 15 assists but there were also occasions where she got the ball to teammates in perfect position and they were fouled while shooting. So that 15 could have easily been 17 or 18.
I thought Aaliyah played incredibly well. She outplayed the bigs on NC State by a wide margin. And they are big. River Baldwin is massive. Aaliyah still commits some bad fouls and with Dorka out for a while, we need her to stop doing that so she can stay on the floor. We need her more than ever.
NC State has a lot of talent but we were playing much harder. They didn`t seem to push the ball on offense and on the defensive end, there was virtually no pressure on the ball. We seemed to get where we wanted to get and had plenty of open shots, both inside and outside. We had 13 steals to 3 for them and they only had 9 assists to our 22. Both testament to how we were far more active.
I also thought we finished around the rim better than we had in our previous two games.
Prayers up for Chris, and onto Oregon.
