Don't think so. That was Gabby's parents from what Doris was saying. Bria was there right behind the UConn bench - didn't see a baby with her though.

Bria was behind the UConn bench with a baby strapped to her chest. I know, I have the same carrier!
 
I'm sure there will be a bunch of ice packs passed out in UConn's locker room. That was one incredibly physical game, in part because the refs were not up to the task of calling it evenly. I suspect that Geno has to shut down Kia for a week or so to let her ankle heel. I would rather not have to face SC, Baylor, etc. again in April without a healthy Kia.

Steve Levy asked Gabby if she'd be able to get up for the next game. She said, "[paraphrasing] I don't know - I'm just going to sleep for a couple days now."

My wife was jabbering about my thoughts on a TV stand we need. So I missed the ID.

A woman in blue next to a black man. I will side with the Gabby parents answer.

Is it possible you could have made a worse call than the foul on Napheesa for a charge?
Expand ...

Bad bad call, two ways:
First, was the D player there in time and stationary? But Napheesa was already airborne. Just one "bad" for that.
Second, the D player's feet were partly in the arc. That is not a matter of judgment, and the ref at the baseline should never miss that call-- never. That's hideously bad, bad, and sheer incompetence.

"Ankle heel"? No pun intended? But I agree fully. KLS getting beaten up all night, but getting called for the slightest touch fouls! (At least 2 or 3 of her 4.) Glad we won, and respect to SC for their good season, but I don't like the way they played, especially in the 4th quarter. And I don't know how much time Kia will need to get healthy. We really won't need her for the next 6 games at least, so maybe that will do it.
 
An amazing game. Honestly, if we had known that Lou wouldn't find the bucket, Kia would play courageously but obviously hurt, and that Saniya wouldn't pick up all the slack, would any of us have predicted a UConn win? Probably.

What fun! What a team!

Got news for you. Saturday, Maya referred to the team as the Lady Huskies. She's no jackass she just has self-esteem and doesn't dwell on meaningless trivialities.

Good call. Unlike the guy who was talking about the game with Seth Greenberg and said the reason Uconn is so good is because Geno treats each player the same. He treats Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis just the same as Kia Nurse lol.

So I don't have to defend Natalie tonight for doing her job as a role player
Expand ...
I don't either. She gave fine minutes when the team really needed it. When Geno sent Kia and Nat into the game with maybe 5 left, we all knew what the reason was. And sure enough, they gave them enough strong play to cement the victory.

Yeah...the "Women Huskies" was, like, 1995. Two decades have passed.

If she said that around CD or Geno you can bet she would get corrected real quick.
It's NOT a meaningless trivialty to them If you doubt me send them an email.

P.S - It's not "Lady" or "Women" it's just "Huskies".

That is the amazing attribute that that keep displaying.... resiliency.

Playing a final 4 talent team with Kia one one leg with limited minutes, and Lou being used as a punching bag and still not quite up to par and they roll out another double digit win. The bench is limited to just 2 viable players... and they both did their jobs tonight. So amazing.
