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.

Stanford made two critical mistakes in the closing moments in regulation and overtime. Tennessee loses to unranked UCLA. A great day for WCBB.

We have at least 2 great catch and shoot players. Thats 7-8 assists a game right there. We have a great shooting team so we are going to get a lot is assists. Loved Nika’s passing to the posts tonight which helped her get some more assists. No doubt it was a solid performance by all.

Players of the game were:
1) Azzi
2) AE
3) Aubrey
4) Lou/Nika

It’s about making plays and being efficient, both offensively and defensively.

Up 23 with 2+ minutes left, and she's still not in the game. Probably no need to be anxious anymore.

True ’dat, but they recruited her. There’s got to be something there.
by anxious, I mean hoping

I was impressed how composed the players started the game, after the scare with CD.

Edwards’ growth from last year is tremendous. She played fantastically, but completely within herself. No rush, just pure confidence. To think that in such a physical game, she didn’t commit a foul until halfway throughout the 4Q!

Anyone who has played team sports knows how much value Nika has to the team. This year she has been steady in her energy and demeanor. She sets the tone for the game and rewards other players for being in the right place. She is happy to let others shine while she is quietly orchestrating the game.

I had my doubts on how Aubrey would look—back surgery is hard. So happy for her and what a joy to watch.

Lou is taking a few games to ramp up to the competition. No worries.

Ayanna looks like a freshman in terms of eagerness, but she has a good nose for the ball. I hope she doesn’t become tentative because of the fouls. I love that she has the space to show off her skills and learn at the same time.

Nothing really to say about Azzi. The ball hits her hand and woooosh.

Caroline must be really frustrated. I hope things start to pull together for her.
 
Does anyone know where one can find a stats sheet from this game? Looking for more than your ESPN box score.

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 absolutely agree, but 1 or 2 minutes won't let it happen.

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.

I believe AE's fouls all came in the final 5 minutes which I chalk up to fatigue
 
I would love what a few people have been suggesting is for Aubrey to come back. I say this selfishly as a husky fan. It would be great to have her. What an amazing athlete.

Not for nothing but the Color Commentator I think also doing the Texas game (not sure but I think so). But sometimes she says some pretty bizarre things. I won't get into Texas game, but this game at 7:04 Turner fouls Lou picking up her 4th. Brown didn't let the 3pt shooter come down after taking her jumper. It's an "obvious" foul. It’s one that could very easily ;lead to injury. I can't believe the Color Commentator didn't see it but worse than that made it sound like it should have been a no-call. -- LOL -- Nuts. .

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.

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.

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?
Expand ...
Next time, take the spread and run with it.
 
On a bad note before the game I hoped for a body in every seat, too many empty, looked bad on the broadcast.
 
My 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.

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 shot

Last year it was often the case that UConn had rather lackluster play in 3rd quarters.
So far in our first two important games UConn put each game away in the 3rd quarter.

Once again the enjoyment of a win by UConn is enhanced by a same day loss by
Tennessee (this time to UCLA). Sweet.

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.

1) How do you not get the ball in bounds?

2) How do you not tell your players in the huddle you have no time outs?

3) Even more key was Jones missing the free throw at the end of regulation.
