SMU Game Thread

And for the record, SMU on an 11-2 run. THAT'S why Geno does not play the walk ons for 10 minutes in the 2nd half...

I KNOW, IF HE PLAYED THE WALK-ONS THEY MIGHT HAVE WON BY ONLY 35!!!

, the 11-2 run cut the defecit to around 60. It was a meaningless run.

I love Kara Wolters, but she needs to learn: UConn scores baskets. They do not "score the basketball." But then, SMU would have been thrilled to do either one. This team is fun to watch. MoJett, Kia, Gabby, are so entertaining. They all are.

Score the basketball is sort of a weird coach-speak colloquial term. Heard that a lot over the years from coaches and sort of laughed at the grammatical silliness of it.

I wondered if Mo, lauded as she was coming into college, could be the PG Jen Rizzotti or Sue Bird were. What I'm seeing now: it may be without the NPOY award, but I say yes- Mo will be every bit as great when all is said and done. She's a dream at her position, and basically almost nobody else can say that. She makes me drink the Kool-aid and like it.

That is sick, Rev Jones!

Why is anyone surprised that Geno might be sick? There are all kinds of infectious diseases going around now - including Legionnaire's Disease.

Just trying to understand the grim visage, head between the knees every time they panned to the bench. Refuse to accept the gloomy guses interpretation of same.

Today you will find the posters who say SMU is pathetic, the AAC sucks, UCONN needs to get out of the conference ASAP, and games like this do zero for UCONN as a whole...

Exactly what I think. The AAC is not good for UConn's future.

Right. And if we complain about it often enough as fans on the message board, I'm quite sure the B1G or ACC will take notice and invite us in!!

I wish Kiah would start to dominate in the low post on the offensive end during mop up time. She should be and she's not even playing with the bench players. She'll be drafted, but maybe not until 2nd round unless her offense improves.

I would rather see John A not tweet during blowouts instead of ragging on the opponents or the AAC conference. Should be more professional as he's not a fan.

I asked LaChina Robinson on Twitter if she thought WNBA coaches could get more offense out of Kiah than her current ones. She said yes and cited Kia Vaughn as an example of a kid who improved a lot on offense once she turned pro. So we'll see, perhaps.

Totally agree with you on John. We all know the competition is what it is. No sense bemoaning it over and over again. What I do is add 30 points to the opposing team's score in my mind so sometimes there is drama.

Wow. First off, congrats KML!! On breaking Diana's career 3-pt record. Huge honor for such a solid shooter. Just glad that you are on our team. The wow part goes to the game. SMU shooting 12% in the 1st half

Please, I'm under no allusions that anything I or any other poster on the Boneyard complains about has any affect of what happens in the real world.

I could get her to score. First round nevertheless.
