Second half thread 32-26 UConn at the half.

[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]

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

I thought that was my point.....

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.

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.

 

[sarals24]

I don't think Kelly is overrated....she isn't rated that highly on offense. Her defense is great, her rebounding is great. How can you be overrated if no one thinks you are a good shooter?

 

[VAMike23]

WHEW , Chiney got called for the foul, thought they were going to whistle Kelly for her 3rd

 

[sarals24]

I think they called three seconds.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Less than 30% shooting! When was the last time you saw that from UConn?

 

[sarals24]

Finally Stef with the friendly roll!

 

[Icebear]

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

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.

 

[sarals24]

Great blocking out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

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.

 

[VAMike23]

Big girl working hard!!

Tiff inside for 2 !!!

 

[sarals24]

Keep shooting, Kaleena!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hayes starting to wake up.

 

[AboutWeston]

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

 

[VAMike23]

Now Tiff with a 3 !! A nice smooth shooting motino !!

 

[sarals24]

tied at 38

 

[VAMike23]

3rd foul on Nneka

41 38 UCONN leads

Faris misses both, but UCONN with the O board, Bria makes the J

43-38
