Geno clearly frustrated.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Can't remember ever seeing Geno so ticked in a halftime interview.

Well, a pretty crappy first half overall, but still a 6 point lead. Some bright spots especially when the frosh came in.

Better performance than usual with Stef off the floor (end of the half).

WOW Geno is HOT (halftime interview, very brief)

 

[Icebear]

Kerith notes one question and done.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I want to see mo: MoTuck and MoJeff.

It has been a while, that is for sure.

Hard to blame Geno for his frustration. Playing as poorly as the starters did to start this game is a sign of immaturity and lack of focus.

 

[VAMike23]

Anybody see if Wheeler came back in?

 

[UConnChapette]

Anybody see if Wheeler came back in?

Yes, she did.

 

[msf22b]

Not much UConn BB even with the lead.
Offensive sets seem disrupted
Mistakes on D.
Rebounding nil
Be interesting if the starting 5 starts the second half and regains their composure.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

So maybe if they have a crummy game (I mean a crummy win) today they'll be brilliant on Monday. What do you think?

Yes, I think he knows how good this team can be and it ticks him off when they don't play to their potential.

 

[VAMike23]

Yes, she did.

Good - Probably just a cramp or a very mild 'tweak'.

 

[UConnChapette]

Typical Rutgers game, they make you play ugly. Let's hope Stef doesn't pick up a quick foul to start the second half, and Bria can get back in (!) and play up to her ability. I Kelly having a rough game as well, and KML has been pretty invisible. I say again, thank God for the freshmen!

She was grabbing at both calves.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Rebounding 16 to 6 for the other guys. Come on!

17-11 at halftime--UConn with the 11. But 7 assists to Rutgers' 4. For whatever that's worth.

Beautiful upfake by Tuck, textbook bread and butter move.

She has mad skills. I love her game, very Ashja-like - she'll be a good one.

'bout time for the coaches to calm down, and do some coaching. when the players are out of control, it's best that the coaches (coach) not be.

Nan, where do you get those photos?

 

[UConnChapette]

Is Moriah really 5-7? She looks much shorter

I'll have to remember that.

First the men stink things up and now our women. Thankfully they have come back! Hope Geno doesn't make them too timid with his half time chat.
Wonder why C Viv has no pink since it is RU's Pink Day.

 

[VAMike23]

Bria also not starting 2nd half.....

MoJeff gets the call

 

[UConnChapette]

Bria must be big time in Geno's dog house. MoJeff starting the second half in place of Bria.

Watching from Brussels! Clear as a bell...It looks like the old Rutgers to me, great trappers, good at faking out defenders under the basket, and the 5 on 5 is giving us some trouble too. So glad Geno didn't get ejected...

 

[VAMike23]

KML !!! "Thwip!"

With a nice, purposeful kick-pass from Mo for the assist.

 

[UConnChapette]

There's our KML! For 3333333333333333333333333!

 

[Blue Huskie]

That was quick! Good start here.
