Think about this. What if this depleted UConn team played LSU's Schedule and what is LSU played our schedule????? I would like for us to play their schedule but hey pollsters think about it. UConn is depleted and LSU isnt.
 
A few points worth noting:
Seton Hall worked hard on defense. They wanted to cut down on fast breaks, they packed the lane, they guarded Lou closely. They did not anticipate the 10-15 3s. Lou fought and got her points. Uconn was strong on rebounding and Aaliyah and Dorka got double doubles. Our ball handling was very good and Seton Hall was not able to get steals. Their top scorer was curtailed by Aubrey. The game had a good flow and the pace was managed judiciously.

Many good things to celebrate! All players made strong contributions. I wish the injured players a speedy recoveries!

The way UConn played the first half would be the highlight of the season for many teams. Great passing, unselfish play, aggressive defense and rebounding.

13 assists and 3 turnovers in the first half.

There are not 5 better women’s college basketball players than Aaliyah Edwards.

Switching Griffin and Nika on Park-Lane was effective.

The extra attention Seton Hall paid Lou did not seem to work.

What kind of number’s would Aubrey put up if she played all her games in that gym?

Amari’s pass from her butt, might make ESPN's top ten.

After Sunday’s game and Azzi’s injury, I thought this game would be close.

It makes you wonder if Aubrey’s dad took her to shoot there growing up.

I it’s Aubrey they’re glad to see leave

Yeah, am I bugging or does Aubrey kinda always go crazy against Seton Hall.
Also wasn't this a bit of a homecoming for Amari as well. Happy to see her play well. I don't doubt her potential or skill. Sometimes it just takes time.
Dorka - league her.
AE - All American for sure. She's so graceful in transition. I'm happy she's been able to showcase her talent this season. Not just a screensetter or rebounder but she's a complete player
Everyone played great. This team has had some great road performances.
In the game chat someone asked how far this team would go in the tournament with just the seven who played. Hopefully folks are back by next weekend but I think the Tennessee game would kinda answer that. And although Tennessee has found their groove, I would be confident that UConn would win that game.

When Amari first came in, I thought she looks very confused but as the game went along it seems like she started thinking less and reacted more and played a really good game. From what we have heard Amari is a very smart kid, maybe she could turn off some of her thinking when she gets on the floor :)

As tall as she is, she should learn not to jump up on any fake from much shorter players.
Expand ...
Amari does hold the ball up high and passes from the position. Not many post players do that, they often taken the ball down chest high or dribble and it's stolen. Great to see that and the 2 three pointers she scored. This might be her light bulb game!

Lou got pretty beat up. She rebounded with one free arm a couple times. I’m glad Geno gave her fewer minutes today.
 
This game was a very pleasant and welcome surprise; not that it was a win but that it was a blowout where everybody (and precious few bodies at that) played well. It will be nice if tonight is the beginning of Amari being a contributor on a regular basis.

Everybody Eats!!!!!!!!

Nika with 13 assists and Amari with 13 points and the assist of the game!!

Nothing more needs to be said.

Yes, one more thing, only 9 turnovers, a thing of beauty and boilerplate for future games. Playing at a faster pace showed great dividends.

Primary defender on park-lane was Nika. Point against point

AE and Rip Hamilton. I hope AE never removes that mask. UConn is facing a brutal schedule with 4 games in 8 days. These ladies are going to need rest. Geno's going to need someone from the injured list to return, and soon.
Expand ...
They actually have 5 in 11 days counting the Tennessee game, but as you said BRUTAL.

I know this is gonna sound like an anti refs post but...when Lou stood her ground and literally got knocked off her feet by a SH ball handler without a call, first I couldn't believe the no call and second, that she was able to get to her feet so quickly. (This is all subject to change based on my viewing of the MJL243 replay tomorrow).

we only shot 65% for free throws. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!! Being tired is no excuse.

Actually, that statistic is kind of misleading: UConn went 15 for 23 on FTs, and Dorka was 2 for 7, accounting for 5 of our 8 misses. The rest of the 5 players only missed 3 FTs.... Interestingly, Dorka was much better shooting 3s than FTs tonight.
 
Yeah...I'll join the party...albeit a little late but I couldn't let that performance go by without some comments. There was a lot that UConn did right that game. To start only 10 turnovers. 10 for 15 from three...66%...that is pretty crazy when you consider that 6 out of the 10 threes came from UConn's bigs (Dorka 4 and DeBerry 2). 46 points in the paint.

And, here is another fantastic stat 29 assists on 39 baskets... They out rebounded Seton Hall 49 to 38. Two double / doubles. Two other players close to double / doubles. 5 players in double figures and Nika Muhl got 13 assists. Every player in uniform scored tonight...great to see. And, finally...they broke the century mark. Great all around game...caught all of us so-called experts off-guard.

After the Georgetown game, with only 7 players available to play I don't think anyone really expected a 45 point win.

I’m surprised you dignified the complaint with a reply

Didn't see the game, but the box score was pretty darned impressive. And they did have only ten turnovers, Nan. ;)

When I put that in one of my "things you want to see" posts, you said that expectation was unreasonable. At least tonight it wasn't. Might not see it again this season, but it did happen.

I think you said “less than 10 turnovers“. :-)

At least the other team was finally called for fouls on her shots. She's good, but I am surprised by how heavily teams guard her especially when Dorka and AE are scoring at will in the paint. I did notice that when she comes out the offense occasionally takes a second to adjust. But I am glad she was taken out halfway through the fourth. She seems to have a quieter level of Nika & Edward toughness.
