Syracuse game thread.

Mostly Gabby, but Lou helped too bringing the ball up the court. There was never a problem with the pressure defense of Syracuse. UCLA or Texas A & M? UCLA is more athletic. My pick is UCLA.

Jackson having issues ball handling under double teams. One TO, another timeout quickly called by coach. 62-53, 3:24 left.

There a separate thread for non-UConn games

 

[JordyG]

The only points by UT in the 4th are 3 DD foul shots.

 

[JordyG]

Jackson another TO.

 

[JordyG]

UT's Jackson a nice 3 then a bad back court foul. 2:29 65-57.

 

[JordyG]

DD under her basket on the floor in pain. Not good. Get up young lady. Moore for Louisville has a cramp on the floor. DD hit the back of her head. Not good.

 

[JordyG]

DD returning but still looks in pain. Flagrant one called on UT's Jackson. Looked like nothing to me. Durr a bad TO and then caused an and one..

 

[oldude]

I know that this is a big game, but after slamming her head on the floor, DD should not be back in the game.

 

[JordyG]

Looks like Duke really missed their PG badly losing to Oregon. Shame. But that's BB.

 

[JordyG]

53 secs left, LU up 71-62 and Moore complaining to ref about foul call. Her 3rd.

 

[JordyG]

Why isn't UT fouling?

This season is over for Tennessee as well.

I thought It was a good game, and I did not think it was overly physical on Syracuse's part - Uconn was very aggressive offensively and forced Syracuse into a lot of the fouls they committed. And I thought them dribbling down the last seconds was a nice as well.

And we talk about the senior moments for Uconn, well coach Q obviously means a lot to his seniors as well - he got them all out individually for their moment over the last 3 minutes.

Stanford 69- 48 final.

 

[eebmg]

We won. Our players were mugged. No major injuries.
Duke not likely to emerge out of Oregon Trail tonight.
The Lady Vols have a good chance of packing it up for the season.
Not a bad afternoon.
I wish I could watch it.

Tennessee folded like a wet blanket. No fight. Holly did not even have their players foul down only 7 with more than a minute left. Every commentator said "I don't get it"

Agree with your comments! (Although we did get about three whacks in the face!)

 

[osceola48]

Pretty damn amazing that Syracuse shot 43% from the field and took 7 more shots than its opponent and yet lost by 30.

I am sure Geno will say this too - Syracuse played really really well. Ran some good offensive sets, dropped in eight 3-pointers, rebounded well. I think this game showed just how good UConn really is. They beat a team that played great by 30 points!

And 40% on 3 pointers and we never even felt it.

I know it may be sacrilege but I think this team is maybe the best UConn offensive team ever. Just so balanced and unselfish.

You must have missed the foul on KLS by #55 that nearly took her head off. The replay CLEARLY showed it wasn't a BB move, it was simply an attempt to injure. She went right for her head, no attempt to hit the ball. Low class. I'd use the "T" word but rules forbid it.

 

[eebmg]

Why isn't UT fouling?

Because there coach is an idiot?

 

[osceola48]

That was a hack on the side of Lou's head . add that to the hit on her nose ..... wtheck

Yeah, I thought that one could have been reviewed by the refs to decide if it was a flagrant.
