I didn't watch, but wasn't SoCar behind for a good portion of the game? It seemed that way when I checked what was happening in the chat room.Why does Dawn Staley always look so angry on the bench???
I didnt watch 1st half...but, yes, SC was behind by 6 or 7 pts... they closed the gap, or were closing it. But everytime the camera panned the SC bench during play Dawn was sitting and looking very grumpy. even as they took the lead. Neither her nor any assistants were up and COACHING the Team. Dawn just looked angry at everything, including her team getting away with several fouls. I have seen the same thing in games they played UCONN. Just not the way I ever coached Teams I was involved with...not what i expect to see from a D1 coachI didn't watch, but wasn't SoCar behind for a good portion of the game? It seemed that way when I checked what was happening in the chat room.
Is this a serious question? Maybe because she is not happy with what she is seeing. I have also seen her smile and laugh on the bench.Why does Dawn Staley always look so angry on the bench???
If the dang refs didn’t just keep handing South Carolina all these wins, we probably wouldn’t even be ranked.Refs handed South Carolina’s. Comfortable win. Their guard play is so weak across the board.
We will see come February if UConn can exploit SC weak guards.Refs handed South Carolina’s. Comfortable win. Their guard play is so weak across the board.
I mean they struggles mightly against UCLA’s defense. I haven’t looked at the advanced analytics but I think UConn is stronger defensively in the backcourt than UCLA.We will see come February if UConn can exploit SC weak guards.
I like Amihere but she forces a lot of shots. She needs to learn how to pass out of double and triple teams.One of the worst reffing jobs I’ve seen in a while. Really bad calls both ways and the refs seemed to overcompensate their bad calls by calling bad makeup calls. I don’t normally feel this way but Boston got away with murder too…at least 2-3 more fouls should’ve been called on her.
Kiki Rice was great all game and had a clean steal that was called as a foul. She semi slammed the ball in frustration and got T’d up. SC hit all 4 free throws which made it 64-56 instead of a likely steal and layup that would’ve made it 58-60.
SC’s guard play was dreadful tonight. Cooke going 5-19 (why does she have the green light to take 19 shots?), Beale 0-4, and Johnson was a mess when she was in the game. Fletcher shot well when UCLA completely sagged off of her and knocked in midrange jumpers but struggled defending Rice and got pulled.
The size difference won the game for SC. Cardoso dominated much smaller defenders, Boston didn’t have a particularly good game yet still finished with 18/10/4 blocks/3 assists/0 TO.
UCLA battled hard but I think SC was just lackadaisical tonight. Looked like they just knew they’d win the game even if they never seemed fully invested. Their monster lineup of Amihere/Cardoso/Boston is going to be really difficult to match up with size wise and Amihere looked like their best PG option tonight.
I thought she was breaking out of that habit. This game showed otherwise.I like Amihere but she forces a lot of shots. She needs to learn how to pass out of double and triple teams.
Pat Summit always did too! My mom always said she looked like a shark with her glare!Why does Dawn Staley always look so angry on the bench???
Dawn Staley, Pat Summit and Katie Abraham-Henderson. All three look scary on the sidelines, even if they're up by 30.Why does Dawn Staley always look so angry on the bench???
An unfortunate lesson for the Freshman that was mostly having a good game. While I think the foul she called for prior to the tech was bogus, I do think the tech was an easy call. Anytime you throw ball out of frustration with no intended target will always be a technical.Terrible technical foul on freshman Kiki Rice. UCLA was still in the game at that point.
Agree with all of the above.One of the worst reffing jobs I’ve seen in a while. Really bad calls both ways and the refs seemed to overcompensate their bad calls by calling bad makeup calls.

ooooh she did have shark eyes.Pat Summit always did too! My mom always said she looked like a shark with her glare!
What we hope to see is the refs calling fouls on Boston, and not Uconn every time they look at a SC player. Does SC not have a forum for your amazing knowledge.We will see come February if UConn can exploit SC weak guards.
