ND-UConn 2015 National Championship Game Thread

C'mon UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Let's go!!!

 

[SHS72]

Neither team playing very well

 

[BugsyCT]

UConn will be fine. Just need to settle down.

 

[TRuconnfan]

Both teams are playing so sloppy...and I've never seen Tuck throw up such bad shots.

 

[Dove]

KML...nice rb...now at line

Up 7

 

[NutmegDog]

KML doing strong work on the offensive boards tonight.

 

[Hongster]

KML is every where tonight.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Wow K just missed a free throw. Hell hath frozen over.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Something seems off......

 

[Aluminny69]

Morgan Tuck 2 for 9

 

[HoopsFan21]

Will be interesting to see what adjustments Geno makes at half.

 

[BugsyCT]

ugly 1st half for both teams

 

[Dove]

Come on Morgan. Huge freebies here...

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Moriah holding the ball way too long. They got bailed out.

Not sure what the issue is tonight. Pressure, nerves?

 

[HoopsFan21]

31-23 half

ND is good. We're beating them by 8 at the half.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I have to say, Jewell Loyd is a lot more tolerable as a person than Skylar Diggins.

 

[Hongster]

Uconn needs to move more on the offense, keep moving until the defense collapse or look for picks and rolls.

 

[TRuconnfan]

Ugly half. Everyone seems off..I can't believe were up 8.
Hopefully we got all the kinks out and play our game in the 2nd half.

I think it's just familiarity. We're doing a lot of unusual stuff tonight especially on offense. When was the last time we had multiple travel/3-second calls in a game let alone the first 10 minutes? Don't we have the biggest kid on the court tonight? Put her down low and chuck it to her. We seem to not be doing well around the rim tonight which is usually something we do well.

 

[huskeynut]

As was said in the pre-game and during the game, these teams know each other very well. No surprises.

This is going to be a grind it out game.

 

[Hongster]

I have to say, Jewell Loyd is a lot more tolerable as a person than Skylar Diggins.

Yes, she is very likable.

 

[wvhuskyfan]

Last year's beautiful choreographed NC game seems like a distant memory right about now. Can't believe how sloppy it has been.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

ND is good. We're beating them by 8 at the half.

And Notre Dame has played really poorly too. They're on pace for 25 TO's.

 

[Hongster]

Up by 8 is nothing. Uconn needs to have a better start in the second half, I would like to hit them with a surprise full court press and score on them TOs.

 

[geneticrex]

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

 

[SHS72]

Yeah, very sloppy. Should have expected this with these two. Honestly, one ND other than Lloyd gets hot and hits some 3s, we may be in trouble.

 

[GoUconn7961]

I think Geno needs to settle the troops..

 

[jimazee]

UConn escaped.... so far. Gotta get someone or three going. Hopefully adjustments will be to our advantage. Muffit and company know Huskies better than anyone and play 'em tough if not pretty

 

[Brochacho]

This game is awful. ND should be up double digits and UConn should be up 20. Neither team wants to play well.
