Syracuse game thread.

[ASweet3781]

Syracuse needs a Nurse.

Love the atmosphere at Gampel. Excellent job by the athletic dept. to give the students free tickets.

 

[Plebe]

Kia Nurse is having a Pan-Am Games type performance. And then some.

UConn, despite scant depth, is a difficult scout because its players are so versatile and because Kia, Crystal, and Saniya are capable of stepping up on any given day.

 

[Plebe]

Kia is 8-10 3pts, that is insane ..

Two shy of Lou-like.

 

[eebmg]

Now shut down peterson.

 

[JordyG]

Louisville/UT with 2:00 mins left in the half sees the Cards up 33-27.

 

[augustaTC]

I just LOVE that any given night you can't tell WHO is going to step up and be spectacular. What a half.

 

[oldude]

Nurse is systematically destroying her Uncle Donovan's alma mater. Gee, maybe it wasn't such a great idea to self-proclaim yourselves the best backcourt in America, eh Syracuse girls? Apparently, UCONN players read all those articles.

I wouldn't be surprised if McNab and his wife (former Cuse pg) are at the game

 

[tonehill68]

Can we just give Kia our Badass Award now?

 

[RedStickHusky]

Did I hear that announcer that "Syracuse ended the half on a high note"????? A two point layup is a HIGH NOTE?

he could've said "relatively high note."

 

[huskeynut]

I think Kia took umbrage to "the best backcourt" and is acting accordingly.

 

[Shorty Dee]

First and far most, BY's I need to ask a huge favor, May you please jump up and down, stomp your feet and wave your hands for me, when UConn score, due to a medical condtion I am really unable to, but sometimes I get so excited and I end up laid up. If you can do this for me, say yes, I have your back.
Kia is killing Syracuse, she is on fire, and so is the team. I am loving this game.

 

[RedStickHusky]

I want to hear Q say "UConn is my daddy" in the post game.

Louisville/UT with 2:00 mins left in the half sees the Cards up 33-27.

DeShields is sitting with 2 fouls. Tennessee hanging pretty tough. Nared has 15 points. 35-31 UL at the half.

 

[Ukonnfan]

I would be ashamed of myself if I was the ref and made those foul calls on Gabby and Katie Lou when Peterson threw her head back before the half. Got to be the worst calls i have seen all year. Whether I'm a Uconn fan or not, it makes no difference. Step it up refs, this is tournament time!

 

[UcMiami]

20 assists on 21 baskets. I want to know who messed up that one unassisted basket?

That was Gabby on a rebound put-back - very selfish of her!

 

[JavaMan]

[huskeynut]

Why is UConn ahead by so much?

Answer: 20 assists on 21 baskets.

 

[HuskyNan]

Sorry other NCAA teams, Kia is only a junior

 

[bags27]

Let's hear it for the defensive intensity to follow their shooters way outside and yet contest every pass into the interior. That's playing with the mind and the heart.

 

[huskeynut]

Gabby rebounds - drives the lenght of the court and passes to Pheesa for 2.

 

[HuskyNan]

How can they lose Napheesa?

 

[Sonny44]

Gotta get Nat in.

 

[huskeynut]

Gabby to Pheesa one more time.

 

[HoopsFan21]

63-37 8:08 3rd TO Syracuse

 

[JordyG]

SU comes out shooting hot. That will fade. They still can't stop the UConn offense.

 

[CONNMAN98]

Kia already has UConn record 8 three's in NCAA tourney. KML had 7!

 

[Sonny44]

SU two nice plays and Q calls a TO?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 66-37 7:47 3rd, 9 for 11 on 3s tonight for Kia
