Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2941071, member: 961"] I thought UCOnn would be on the down side of a 5-10 point game. I am so pleasantly surprised by what I saw. One of the best games, by the way, that I've seen in a couple of years. Some observations, for whatever they are worth: 1. ONO is not the same kid that did the deer-in-the-headlights imitation a couple of games ago. In the long term, this may be more important than the emergence of Williams as a star. 2. Squeaks is phenomenal. I do not use that word, ever, but there it is. 3. The idea that UConn could be ahead at the half and KLS had not scored was impossible, but it happened. and that led to 4. The predictable KLS recovery in the second half, which was instrumental in the win. 5. Collier ended up on the bench, but not before another invisible MVP performance. A couple of those turnaround jumpers were off the charts. 6. As the announcers pointed out, that amazing first half was played with both sides making really difficult shots 7. Of course, this sets up ND with something to prove if/when the two teams meet in the Final Four. Again. 8. Am I the only person who thought Ogumbowale, who otherwise had an incredible game, made two dirty plays at the end, one of which she got caught at? 9. Credit where credit is due. Amin was a really good play-by-play announcer tonight. He's come a long way since last year, when he was not good at all. [/QUOTE]
