OT: WBB UConn vs ND

[UCDaveD]

The fact that there's a "Congrats to ND" thread on the women's board is disgusting.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Isn’t that just UConn men’s basketball 2015-2018 in a nut shell...

Grandma??

 

[Guapo]

I understand. I just mean that in the big picture, baseball is irrelevant.

I live in Georgia. College baseball is kind of a big deal here. Definitely a niche sport, though. CWS (depending on the schools) usually pulls a couple million viewers.

3 chokes in a row, going to be hard to break this trend for Geno. You can say it is execution but he needs to find players that can get the job done when the pressure is on.

Don't worry, the ones who can't are leaving

I love the cws.

I went to some acc games back in the day. I really want to get to an sec series

Dangerfield missed the iron on a lay up too. Hard to pin anything on KLS with 20 in the 2nd half. Problem is their PG is never good in crunch time. And she fouled when she didn’t have to with 35 seconds left down 3?

They looked like they weren’t coached well the last 2 plus minutes honestly.

Hot take. But understandable. Maybe we should find a better coach huh?

 

[Guapo]

Till that kid leaves. Because she could win 4 titles.

Watched some of her clips; she looks like Pete Maravich. Amazing court vision and passing ability.

Think Muffet would be willing to take the gig?

I mean even in the last few minutes they got layups and missed them until they had to start throwing up 3s.

 

[AdamaNation]

In reality, this all started with that Chung girl's moronic decision 3 years ago.

Yep just thinking that mind reader. That is the girls version of boatright getting hurt against smu for us ( injury bug)

 

[intlzncster]

He was plenty pissed. The problem is the team was too nice. After MSU in 2017. After ND last year. There was no sense of purpose or vengeance like that 2002 team had (and no killer like Bird or Taurasi).

This has been my contention for a few years now. And I'm not hating on any of the players either. They're all great kids.

They haven't had the player at the end of the game who's going to punch the other team in the mouth.

 

[TMB4405]

I watch the women sometimes but definitely watch all games during tournament. I said to someone before game if it’s close we are in trouble. Love Geno but his teams play tight in close games. Got away with it against Louisville. Not tonight.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Bingo. He rides off into the sunset in 2024, with Paige B. as a senior, winning the title shortly after his 70th birthday.

 

[superjohn]

They look bad compared to the likes of Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart, but those were also among the best women’s players ever.

I don’t watch them as much anymore, but it feels as though they’ve been good enough to win the past three years - and they’ve choked all three games. It seems like a pattern when Geno’s teams are forced to play close games.

They didn't choke tonight, ND was choking all game by keeping them in it. They choked the past 2 years.

As someone else said KLS is their best player and that's a problem. She's probably right near the top in all-time scoring and I'm guessing UConn has had 30 better players than her.

Went to the UGA/LSU series two weeks ago. Amazing experience.

 

[Scoe]

Uconn shouldve been going for their 7th title in a row.

 

[HawkHusky]

#FireGeno and replace him with a woman. Muffet said so.

 

[AdamaNation]

I actually can see the LOUISVILLE coach taking it since geno won’t be recommending shea

 

[intlzncster]

IF they get Azzi Fudd on top of her, then at least another year on top. THAT kid is the truth. Once in a lifetime. Kid just won national player of the year. As a sophomore.

 

[mauconnfan]

I’m not blaming geno when his game plan less to that man open layups.

They should’ve won the game easily. Missing layups is a mental thing.

But they missed the lay ups and had a chance to win still with under a minute left right? Who needs to help make that happen besides the players? Hey I like Geno but I’ve heard the Wooden chatter but John wasn’t around tonight. The fact he stayed in man was baffling as they scored at will. He gets as much as the players on this one sorry.

Oh yeah, and what is he gonna do when another good team comes straight at them in the final minutes?

No one thinks its odd this guy needs a SUPERSTAR every single time to win? 3 #1 ranked players and 3 other top 5 recruits wasn't enough?

Collier is their best player. Half the problem was they ignored her in the second half.

They missed like legit 15 layups.

They choked.

 

[Scoe]

Shouldve kept Ono in the game that was Genos mistake.

 

[zls44]

I didn't think Geno would do 5 more years, but Paige makes me think there's no way he doesn't. Plus the last 3 years re-light the fire, etc.

I’m not the biggest KLS fan, but that isn’t close to true.
