Second half thread 32-26 UConn at the half.

[sarals24]

I hope Banks gets in this half and picks up a steal and an And-1.

 

[VAMike23]

Man I better get in the game,. I've been sitting on the bench too long this season!

How is everybody?

Exciting game so far isn't it?

Enjoying the KML show !!

 

[VAMike23]

WHAT the !@#($*!#@)$(!)@ was that shot, TIFF? Split step ? No iron?

UGH!!

 

[Icebear]

We are just stone cold. Bring in the sniper.

 

[sarals24]

It's ok, just lulling them into a false sense of complacency....

 

[CTyankee]

Another on Stef

 

[VAMike23]

Good idea Kelly, but a little off onthe pass.

Now Stef has a quick 2 fouls.

 

[sarals24]

Great low post D by Faris.

 

[Blue Huskie]

We are just stone cold. Bring in the sniper.

Sounds like a plan. Release the Kraken!

 

[Icebear]

32-32

 

[VAMike23]

Geno has enough -- disgusted ----- looks down the bench for KML.

 

[Icebear]

Sniper in.

 

[sarals24]

Kelly....where are you going?

 

[VAMike23]

Bria to the rim !!!

Stef -- you need to gather yourself before finishing

tie ball game

KML with a nifty pivot with the defender on her hip, gets fouled nice

 

[sarals24]

YES. With so much attention on KML now it is going to open the floor up.

 

[sarals24]

Man I want Caroline to hit something.

 

[VAMike23]

No answer for Nneka going to the rim, where's the help defense!!??? She has made the same exact move 3-4 times this half already.

 

[Icebear]

Did Nneka just pick up her third foul?

 

[uconnbaseball]

Kelly Faris is overrated. There, I said it. Sorry.

Brick after brick after brick after brick after brick...we are lucky Stanford was in some foul trouble during the first half.

That is the responsibility of the help D if you are going to bring Stef up high.

 

[speedoo]

We have missed about 10 points worth of bunnies. Nerves?

 

[VAMike23]

It's clear we are able to defend well when Nneka is in the post, our help D is strong when the ball is fed in.

However, she is proving too much for our D when she puts it on the floor. Adjustment needed, NOW.

 

[sarals24]

I don't know who they called that on, they cut to commercial too fast. We need some more offense. Where are all the shooters Geno was talking about before the season started?

 

[blackbird]

Caroline is rushing her shot. She needs to take a deep breath.

 

[Icebear]

Kelly Faris is overrated. There, I said it. Sorry.

Brick after brick after brick after brick after brick...we are lucky Stanford was in some foul trouble during the first half.

That's OK everyone is allowed to be wrong.

 

[VAMike23]

I thought that was my point.....

 

[Aluminny69]

Brick after brick after brick after brick after brick...we are lucky Stanford was in some foul trouble during the first half.

Plus, Kelly is basically unguarded. Has to keep the defense honest.

 

[Vowelguy]

Actually, we need to be slowing the half court game too Caroline's speed and execute the offense and not rush.

Not how Geno wants to play. He wants uptempo.

 

[VAMike23]

KML with her first brick....

 

[uconnbaseball]

That's OK everyone is allowed to be wrong.

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