SMU Game Thread

I'll bet on Monday that's a blocking foul.

Love the"Brady to Edelman" comparison for Gabby and Lou.

44-22 half

Need to find a way to get Napheesa freed up in the second half. Is SMU playing a triangle and two? I didn't notice.

Game is at Gampel. I'm hoping for some home cooking.

Justine: Why haven't we seen Crystal Dangerfield yet?
Geno: Uhhhh I don't know with a smile.

 

[Ozimoto]

They looked to me like they are pressing a bit. Hopefully they calm down a bit in the second half.

 

[HuskyNan]

LOL, Geno says he doesn't know why Crystal isn't playing.

Maya is a better-than-average player, I suppose.

 

[Zanzman]

Are you going to read them the riot act as well Nan?

No one likes a whiner

 

[EricSD]

GREAT question by Justine asking "why haven't we seen Crystal yet?"... Geno "Um... I don't know". So glad she asked. Also Geno said offense is out of synch in part because Nurse is not playing well.

Baskets in the Paint at the half

SMU 5(3-2)
UConn 11 (6-5)

OT: OMG, for the sake of WCBB, we need to invite Holly Warlick to Connecticut. She needs to experience REAL women's basketball.

I'm sure Geno knows exactly why Crystal hasn't played in the 1st half, but he's choosing not to discuss it.

 

[BigBird]

The unique perspective that is the UConn WBB culture. Up 22 at the half, ailing All-American candidate is playing like a true stud, crowd going nuts, AND this is having an off day. Wowzers.

To say the bar is set high at UConn is like saying the Patriots did "OK" in the Superbowl.

Geno certainly knows why there's no Crystal. I'm guessing she's in his dog house, but that he's protecting her. Doesn't want her to get to0 down on herself, is probably how Geno's reading that situation.

Gabby said something a while back about Geno telling the players to stop feeling sorry for themselves when things don't go their way. I wonder if the freshman isn't down on herself a bit for struggling to get back to form after her injury.

Nice!

​

How can Collier have one more win than Katie-Lou?

 

[JordyG]

Collier missed another shot. That's 3 in a row I think!

 

[Zorro]

Lou missed the championship game with a broken foot.

 

[Vowelguy]

If I'm an opposing coach, my strategy is simple -- .

I think I would start with sending Coldeeze, chicken soup, the flu shot, etc, to KLS about a week before game time.

 

[JordyG]

UConn a little lazy in the offensive end right now.

Chong for 3!!! 49-24 8:02 3rd

Doesn't matter we won't get any favors from the refs. They want the game to be close.

 

[JordyG]

Nice curl by Perry.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Half-court offense continues to be troubling. Seems like 80% of our points are in transition, from offensive rebounds, or off of broken plays.

That's not sustainable against top teams.

Also surely making sure he has her attention in anticipation of Monday. I imagine he's expecting this will motivate her to a lights out practice tomorrow.
