Let's hear it for our defense!

A 21 pt lead at the half. I said I was not worried about this game, and I gave several reasons why. I know some of you thought ol' Carnac was talking out of his turban. Wellllllllll, How ya like me now?

A little perturbanned at you at the moment.

ESPN now has to change their mind giving Tuck AA in first team, not second team.

 

[Blueballer]

Amazing and awesome that our best player has been held pretty much scoreless and we're up 20.

Morgan Tuck is just a phenomenal basketball player.

Leading the way in the first half (!)

Some very insightful reflections from three ladies the entire sports world should be proud of...celebrate excellence!

If you would have told OSU that at the end of the half Stewie would have scored 3 points you would have been overjoyed.

 

[bags27]

defense needs to stay suffocating during the 2nd half. that's the key. Stewie will be able to get more active soon.

Doris called for the replay because the director told her to. This extra set of eyes is not a bad practice, as it helps the "on mike" people keep from missing things. She doesn't know what the replay reveals (if anything) until she sees it at the same time we do.

I loved doing radio sports because, for one thing, I didn't have a director (literally) in my ear on almost every play. TV was otherwise.

Funny, we're up 21, and yet a cranky lot on the BY. Tournament jitters persisting?

 

[Blueballer]

These bad calls seem to be adding up on both sides. Hopefully the officials will have a better second half.

Yes I wonder if they make halftime adjustments? I hope so.

I wonder how long it takes OS to go to full court pressure ! His team started looking tired at the end of the half .

OSU is tough and smart and will not quit. I'm sure Geno has jitters too. But it's better to be up 21 than down 21 :-0

 

[Gus Mahler]

Some may be upset with me for saying this, but Tuck has the most beautiful eyes in basketball.

Ignore the haters.

Oregon State had a significant rebounding edge for most of the half, but it's almost even now. OSU 16 - UConn 15. In other news…

UConn: 12 assists to 4 turnovers (including that first traveling call on Moriah, which was toro excrement of the highest order)
Oregon State: 3 assists to 13 turnovers

 

[huskeynut]

UCONN will not loose focus.

 

[OldAlum]

OMG I love our defense!

 

[Plebe]

Pressing is not OSU's style. They are a decidedly half-court team.

 

[Plebe]

It shouldn't go without saying: Kia Nurse has played absolutely spectacular defense so far.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Gabby in for KLS to start the half, KLS to the back hurt ankle she felt something pop

 

[BigBird]

Oh cripes... Lou is worse than sick...

 

[mdakota]

Stewie Stewie

 

[JellyBean]

As has been said many time by many coaches, you really don't know UCONN until you have to play them for the first time.

So true.

 

[HoopsFan21]

3rd foul on Stewie now
