South Carolina Game Thread

Having missed much of the half, I would just say...
...OMG, wonderful last 50 seconds.

SC is so focused on Katie Lou that others should be open, and UConn should be able to exploit that. If Geno can design some plays to get Katie Lou open, that'll make all the difference.

At the speed of the thread who cares? Who actually goes back to read the thread again? Plus, someone said the team could get complacent due to the AAC. I wanted to know what that reasoning is since we won 99 in a row. Now, I'll never know.
 
Is it me or does Andy Landers sound like a cross between Chris Farley's motivational speaker Matt Foley and Arnold Ziffel?

I will say this : SC played very poised and disciplined in the first half. Stanley has taken her hits on this board, but that kinda play is coaching.

Yeah they're definitely not afraid, Coates and Wilson are monsters the rest of the team not so much. I can't believe some South Carolina fans are complaining about the refs considering the FT disparity and some of the calls on UConn where no contact was made in some cases.

Geno "Whoever is coaching Lou is doing a bad job" LOL - I love the way he finds humor in any situation.

How dare he say that. I bet he thinks she has been terrible all year.
 
Who was talking all that mess about their bigs being a problem? Seems are bigs are a problem for them.
 
Dont really watch the women but im checking out tonights game to witness history. Good game #24 is incredible and im liking the throwback shorts on the SC players.

I'll concede they've played with poise but she is easily a better recruiter than she is a game coach. It surely helps that UConn has struggled shooting the ball.
 
Geno says he wants to set more screens for KLS, it will be interesting to see what he does different to do that.

Huge end to the half. We need the momentum and the cushion.

Gabby has been a monster, with some help from Collier and Dangerfield.

Agree about Gabby playing great though she did force a couple of passes.

I'm impressed with our rebounding tonight. But, I think a part of that is South Carolina's fear of the transition game. A few times when we secured the rebound it was because South Carolina was already getting back on defense.
 
Bad game for our best player to come out slow, it'll be tough too win if she doesn't heat up in the second half.

Geno put it in perspective at the half: "We just can't guard those 2 big girls, they're just too much for us...[blah, blah, blah]... But we're really playing pretty good defense - they only have 29 points."

Hmmmm... Who's going to win this game if SC only scores 58 points? And this with KLS totally cold offensively in the first half, and Kia out most of the time and hobbled the rest of the time. UConn wins this one by double digits - maybe 20+

Nothing was deleted in that exchange.
 
I don't know whether they can "design" some plays for Lou at this point. If a defender is willing to foul out face guarding her, sometimes there's little you can do. Normally, you'd say that Lou should go to the hoop a couple of times either to get some easy lay-ups or foul shots. But that's hard for her to do against SC.

Lou just needs to stay within herself (not like that frustration foul against Wilson). She'll get a couple of opportunities even if she scores in single figures.

There is a significant difference in saying Lou has been awful and Lou IS awful. She had a bad half, she's not a bad player. Major difference.

All the same, it is damned annoying!!!

Geno is so cool and relaxed. Something tells me he's been in big games before....

Who doesn't believe he'll make some nice adjustments and we'll roll? KLS is sure to warm up and that opens up other things.
 
Well, I still think 70 is a winning number. Might have to play a full 40 for once.
