ND-UConn 2015 National Championship Game Thread

[Dove]

ND will not score in first 3 minutes

 

[Aluminny69]

UConn is 3 for 13 on 3 ptrs

 

[Hongster]

I agree Uconn is way too conservative in their offense. What Uconn needs is for MO to take advantage of her quickness during transition and just before they've settle down in their D.

 

[John Glass]

UConn 38% FG and a 8 point lead- they are just warming up

 

[Zorro]

The line was 16. Half of 16 is 8.

 

[Hongster]

I'd love to see a knock out punch from the get go in the second half.

Not a good night for KML and Tuck to lose their touch.

When Tuck gets her touch back in the 2nd half we will destroy them

Can't. They're packing the paint. This is the text book way to beat UConn if there ever was such a thing. Cut off the path to the rim and force us into a jump shooting game and hope we're cold from outside, which we are tonight. That said, we're still up 8.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mabrey opens the half with a 3.

 

[Hongster]

Damn, bad way of start by Tuck again, she's not playing in her element.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I like that play even though Kia was fouled. That looks more like our offense.

 

[Woof 101]

Frantic pace as ND is trying to play like UCONN does. Working sometimes but often their fast break out-let ends up in the bleachers. In Geno we trust! Second half more under control by both teams and therefore we win!
Roll out the ladder!!!

 

[SallyH]

How nice to see so few fouls.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Come On Morgan.. We need you!

 

[Hongster]

Tuck is playing right in the hand of ND. Stop that Tuck.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice play Morgan. Grabbed the board and has the chance for the and 1.

 

[HuskyNan]

Don't stop, Tuck, lol.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Turner is having a major impact on UConn's offense. They're not comfortable with her in there.

 

[HoopsFan21]

36-26 17:40

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice run by Nurse! Can we get anyone to run with her though? 12 pt lead now.

 

[Hongster]

That's going to help Tuck with the put back.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Come on guys, drop the hammer. Do it. Now.

 

[GoUconn7961]

That's the wayyou do it Kia!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Course, you can negate Turner by scoring in transition.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Well this game has been the exact opposite of what I expected -- we're not lighting up the scoreboard, but our defense has been suffocating.
