Second half thread 32-26 UConn at the half.

[Icebear]

41-38

 

[uconnbaseball]

What is the score or don't I want to know?

Up 43-38 despite not shooting well. Defense has been very good.

 

[Icebear]

Faris to Dolson. Pick and Roll.

 

[VAMike23]

FINALLY a good pick and roll from Kelly to Stef !!

 

[blackbird]

"Bria Hartley's game Changes a bit with KML in the game" yea..because she's not playing 1 on 5

 

[VAMike23]

Kiah set to check in - Stef probably needs a quick rest

 

[sarals24]

I love that we get three years of KML and Bria playing together.

 

[justML]

It is definitely more nerve-wracking watching this "blind". Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

 

[Icebear]

45-42 UConn

 

[VAMike23]

Kelly getting tangled up under the boards seemingly every other time down the court, falling down each time, but no calls. She's on the floor more than Tiff !!!!

 

[sarals24]

Kelly is getting destroyed under the boards. I haven't seen her been taken down this much...ever.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Anybody else looking at total rebounds? Right now it's Stanford 28, UConn 27.

Shooting percentage better--35% or so.

 

[sarals24]

Again, we HAVE TO have to capitalize with Nneka on the bench!!!

 

[Dairyair]

She is not on the floor as a scorer, but as the glue that doesn't all the grunt work. That she is taking the shots is important. They will start to fall the more comfortable she is taking them.

I agree, Ice. I think it's important she keep shooting, if only to keep the defense honest

 

[CTyankee]

Definitely bodies all over the place... Mostly Kelly

 

[Icebear]

We are taking a lot of contested 3's because we don't have a consistent interior scorer. Dolson and Faris are doing a decent job limiting Stanford's own post game however.

Dolson is a very consistent interior scorer but you have to deliver her the ball in time and in place. She shoots over 60%

We should win if we can play them evenly on the boards. We have the edge in team athleticism...

 

[Vowelguy]

I could be reactionary, but I remain unimpressed so far. She is good defensively but her shots are brutally flat.

But that's the point - her strength is her defense and other things she does. She's not a scorer, true.

 

[VAMike23]

KML with a putback over the top of the D

You can tell I haven't seen the team this year until tonight. I'm a crank from the men's board.

 

[VAMike23]

Now both Stef and Nneka have 3

 

[VAMike23]

Stef stays in with Kiah also on the floor

 

[CTyankee]

Stef now with 3 fouls... We need her inside... Stay cool Stef

 

[Icebear]

49-42 UConn Stef two from the line.

 

[VAMike23]

Kiah will need to body-up behind Nneka and help Stef out
