SC is lost when Mitchell can't get involved in the offense.
 
Stewie is going to need Moriah's heating pad!
 
Gampel coming off very good tonight on the showcase telecast of the season.

I'm surprised we didn't see a little Gabby time in the first half. I think she's earned it.
 
He still doesn't trust Gabby in big games. He's gonna have to at some point.
 
Your girls are shooting the lights out right now. Our young players are looking tight and nervous once Geno decided to lock down Mitchell. Impressive run and total domination second ten minutes. Hopefully that was your best shot and we can settle down, chip away and make this a game in the second half.

I don't think anyone on this board is hoping that.

As is often the case, Geno has gone very conservative with his lineups for games of this magnitude. Minimal "risk" subs - e.g. no Gabby yet. And he appears to be trying to win by redlining the offense, rather than maximizing defense. So, minimal Stokes.

This may change in the second half depending on how/if SC adjusts.
 
I think athletically Gabby matches up really well. She could certainly pull down some rebounds.

I don't think that's true. He just wanted to step on the gas in that first half and pace of the game is brisk. She'll be in. Same thing with Stokes. I think he wanted to be offensive minded to get the momentum in the first half. Stokes doesn't have the offensive mindset all the time.

what up with the PT for stokes?

She got the hook very fast, so perhaps she did something.

Then again, Geno may have just wanted a quick breather for Tuck.

One reason the offense is working because UConn is able to put all 5 guys on the perimeter and then drive past the bigger, but slower SC players. That won't work for Stokes, whose defender would just stay in the lane. I imagine we'll see her eventually, but perhaps not until SC's defense stops UConn.

She does but the pace of the game may be a bit much for her. Decisions have to be made really really quick in a game like this. That's what I'm thinking anyway. She's really close though. I think she'll get her feet wet in the 2nd half. Then by Tourney time watch out!

Same issue as with Stokes -- Gabby's defender would also stay in the paint. Having 5 guys on the perimeter has worked well so far. Until SC stops it, I think Gabby and Stokes are probably on the sideline.
 
South Carolina players look like they don't know what hit them. They have that "deer in the headlights" look!

Probably would be in here already if the score were reversed. Actually I'm surprised to not see posts from a lot of the regular UCONN Boneyarders tonight. Where are you guys?

If that's realistic, then maybe Geno shouldn't let up on the gas in the 2nd half?
 
Maybe its too early for the SC faithful to blame the officiating? I gotta believe that's coming at some point.

Geno better not let up on the gas. Press the hell out of them out of the half and break them for good. Once it's a 20 point lead, it's lights out. Let them back into the game and we could have another Stanford on our hands.
 
Best Half of Basketball this Year against a Quality Opponent.
 
Lets go we need to pick it up! We are just going through the motions out there.
