This is like the first time UCONN fans are rooting for Syracuse LOL.

I am a Cuse dad but love UConn womens bball. I am also a former Varsity girls coach so I loooooooove everything Geno/Huskeys do.
 
Had to turn it off. Tuesday night could be the largest point differential in the history of the NC game.
 
If I were UConn, I would be licking my chops to get a shot against Syracuse after they dodged us for Stewie's homecoming game.

Their 3 game could give us fits, but they typically don't shoot a high percentage. Put a body on them and limit their O boards off of long rebounds.

Syracuse's press is good, but UConn typically does a good job breaking by having two guards back. Certainly helps having a Lieberman award winner PG with a handle like Steph Curry to take the ball up.
 
Loved that pass by Osahor, threading the needle of the defense with a bounce pass on the fast break. Unfortunately the leading player wasn't up to the challenge of making the shot.

They are only 4 treys down... Washington could still win this. They should have Walton bring the ball up and stay in the man to man in the second half.
 
Syracuse has had 5 different players hit 3-pointers in just the first half.

We could do that too , until Lou got hurt. But yeah, Cuse sure jacks up those threes like there's no tomorrow.
 
How in the heck did Maryland lose to Washington. They are so limited talent wise.

Washington was hitting shots and they look tired to me as they just usually play 5 players most of the time.

The Syracuse press can wear teams down.

Well Washington wasn't worn down at the beginning of the game just cold as ice. Hard to overcome such an awful start.

Washington 4-8
Syracuse 3-7

Both of these teams shoot and make a lot of 3's. That's disconcerting, because it's the only way a team can beat us, and both of them are capable.

Huskies have enough players to defend Orange perimeter players. Besides since when do we have to worry about our defense ? How are they going to guard Huskies ?
 
Critical opening sequence in the second half. Osahor misses a 3 and then Peterson hits one. That was big. Difference between a 9-point or 15-point deficit.

Syracuse is a streaky bunch. Hot and then cold.
 
This is embarrassingly bad basketball. It looks like a bad AAU game. Seriously, Washington has 2 legit D1 players on the floor.
 
Syracuse's pressure defense is tough. they get so many TO's. Plum has not gotten going, if she doesn't Syracuse will win this game. Syracuse should probably have a bigger lead.

Okay, it's looking like the Orange. Not thrilled about it due to our history with them. Hopefully refs will call all the muggings Stewie is about to receive.

It will be Kantner no doubt. Let's hope Stewie gets the respect she desevres as POY.
 
Syracuse is shooting 36% on 3-pointers so far in this game. That's not bad, but it's not shooting the lights out either. By far the bigger problems for Washington have been the turnovers and the fact that they're getting killed on the glass (33-19).

Syracuse seems to be getting every call which is leading to this becoming a very ugly,physical game. The more that's called, the less they will get away with.
 
Who'd have guessed that Syracuse margin of victory could be higher than UConn's? 21 pt lead, and Wash looks gassed, so Q4 could be a massacre.

I hope not. It would be nice if UConn's new record for margin of victory in a national semifinal lasted longer than two hours.

We played a 2 seed. Syracuse is playing a 7. Plus, Geno pulled the plug with 6 minutes to go. I hope they try to win by 40 and tire themselves out.
