and many of those minutes are going to Irwin, who's is a great kid, but don't see them beating the better teams with her playing all those minutes. Griffin needs oh so much work to get comfortable. she was so aggressive , especially at Seton Hall, but kinda looks now like Walker her first year. Even as raw as she is, her skill set dwarfs Kyla's, but she needs lots of minutes.
Granddaughter at UNLV?
Some really tough games before that can happen. Baylor, Oregon, USC.
but she plays hard!? that and a buck fifty will buy a coffee.
Carnac is in Vegas. The casinos could take a major hit from the all knowing visitor from the East.
Icouldn’agree more.Just rewatched and I saw even more grabbing and foulingOnoWhat peed me of the most was in the 3rd quarter instead of tossing the ball in the paint to Liv, we hiked up 6 missed 3's. They could not guard her without fouling and she was automatic. Depaul would have had at least 2 players if not 3 foul out of the game if the refs had called them on the holds on Liv just half of the time, I think they only called 2 all night.
Yes, can't agree more. Depaul has 5 fouls already in 3Q. Geno should keep going inside and let Depaul to foul Megan of Liv.What peed me of the most was in the 3rd quarter instead of tossing the ball in the paint to Liv, we hiked up 6 missed 3's.

That’s what we live for. That’s why the players wanna play here. If Rueck is such a fan maybe he should follow suit and stop munching on Liberty, Southern Utah, UC Irvine, etc. Then maybe players like Russell, Westbrook, Van Lith, et al, might think about staying home.
I believe Geno reigned them in again in the third quarter. They were blowing DePaul out and if they had continued to, they would have scored over 100 points and I don't think Geno wanted that. UConn did not continue to push the ball like they did in the first half. UConn scored almost 30 points in the first quarter and scored barely more than that in the entire second half. In the first half, UConn out rebounded DePaul big time and defended all out. Did you watch only the second half? UConn still scored 84 points with the slow down and numerous turnovers.
It was 55-29 at the half. Over the next 13 minutes, UConn was outscored 37-15. I don't care if Geno was reining them in with Wonder Woman's magic lasso. The defense has to be good enough to not give up 3 points per minute to anyone.
I think the whole team looked tired in the second half. Not enough depth off the bench. It’s tough playing the starters all the minutes. CW in particular I thought looked slow tonight. She played to much bb over the summer and didn’t give her body enough rest. Just my opinion. Can someone tell me where Kayla and Molly were rated by ESPN coming out of high school? Were they even in the top 100.
Play like spit where?
Yeah, well before the game she was pretty clear how this was DePaul big chance for an upset. During the game about 3 or 4 times she said, and I paraphrase, how much she would like to see DePaul cut the lead, even this game up and ultimately (I assume) win the game. I hadn't heard that kind of homer rooting since Carolyn Peck. I'll take Doris Burke's didactic approach any day. More than once I wanted Eric Frede to grab the mike and shut her up.
This to me is one of the greatest contrasts with the "classic" UConn team. UConn has always thrived on creating turnovers that lead to transition buckets and scoring runs. When was the last time a UConn opponent had only 7 turnovers?
Wait a second here. You are
