Syracuse game thread.

Didn't Duke lose its point guard?

Yes, it's a tough break. Still a #10 vs. a #2 on the road.

 

[GoUconn7961]

SU is a lot more physical

Yes - been noticing that. They still have a mountain to climb.

 

[ASweet3781]

Not exactly a defensive clinic by either team this quarter.

Well considering both teams have a lot of scorers not too surprising. As long as we keep scoring.

And 5 rebounds for Lou! She's always been such a strong rebounder. i don't understand the criticisms....

 

[Vowelguy]

I'm surprised Syracuse hasn't left Chong completely wide open. Sure, she can hit 3s, but given that she hasnt shot yet, if I were Cuse, I'd want her shooting over any other Husky.

 

[Checkmate]

did KLS get a steal on that last pass to G Williams ?

 

[Blue Huskie]

Syracuse playing better but it's not good enough and it's getting too late

As hot as they've been and they are only trading baskets.

 

[Buzzyboy]

Not exactly a defensive clinic by either team this quarter.

Tough fighting through some of those Cuse screens. Still see some good energy on the defensive end from the Huskies.

 

[Plebe]

And elsewhere, Tennessee has taken a 1-point lead in the Battle of the Underachievers.

 

[Zorro]

Sykes has 3, Slim has 4

 

[BigBird]

...been thinking...I might have been off a tad with my score prediction, 77-76.

 

[rjuconn]

Might be more like 110-80 at this pace.

 

[huskeynut]

And Gabby sinks 2 from the line.

 

[psconn]

3 on Gabby... get her out.

 

[trb123]

Checking the ESPN box score at work.
Duke looks lost on Oregon Trail.

 

[nwhoopfan]

K State has 27 points w/ 2 1/2 minutes left in the 3rd Q. Stanford has been playing some stifling defense lately.

 

[ASweet3781]

3 on Gabby... get her out.

We have a 30 pt lead with 12 to go...I think Geno can experiment to see if she can be trusted to stay in with 3.

 

[TitleTown]

Good pass Kia!

 

[huskeynut]

Nurse misses a 3 - Gabby grabs the shot and feeds Pheesa for 2.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Collier with a nice play seeing that 3 was short!

 

[huskeynut]

Lou for 3!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS for 3!!! 84-51 :39 3rd

 

[psconn]

LOU!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

86-51 end 3rd

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gonna win a lot of games shooting 12-20 behind the arc. Especially when you have the interior game that UConn does.

 

[huskeynut]

UConn basketball at the end of the 3rd!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GoUconn7961]

Nice way to finish up that quarter!!

 

[ASweet3781]

Wow so unselfish by Nurse!!

 

[HuskyNan]

Quarter ended up OK after all

 

[oldude]

Beautiful.....just beautiful....
