Temple game thread

[Blueballer]

Great gameplan by Tonya and staff. This is the only way teams like hers have a chance against is. Super high paced, disrupt passing lanes, bump the cutters. Refs are letting them play almost to the point of why are they there? Temple's energy is off the charts. We are missing from the perimeter. All of those things other coaches hope for when playing us. All that being said and we're up 10. Not surprised he's had to sub even for Stewie as the pace is insane and there aren't too many stoppages for any reason.

Temple is not doing anything exotic scheme wise on defense. They are simply doubling down on the post pass because UConn has not proven they can make 3 pt shots consistently. As far as Temple "hitting 3s at a ridiculous pace" they are shooting a pedestrian 5-14.

I guess it feels ridiculous, especially since they were pretty wide open.

Their % dropped way off in the last few minutes. They may very well be tiring. Very hard to keep up that breakneck pace.

Thanks Carolyn for pointing out the irrelevant fact that Geno is a whopping 158 wins away from the Great Pat Summitt's record total.

Thankfully, I muted her before she had a chance to share that little nugget of priceless insight.

Pam did follow it up by mentioning Geno's record winning %, and speculating he could get there in a few more years....

Ilike Lou's composure this game. She's just calmly sinking shots.

Kia for 3!!! 49-37 8:01 3rd

 

[HuskyNan]

Yea, Kia! She makes a three.

 

[HoopsFan21]

49-41

 

[HuskyNan]

Temple kids playing with a lot of passion and energy. You go, Tonya, good job.

 

[NutmegDog]

Kia just got her first hoop. Morgan not really Tuckish today, and MoJet just got beat down court on a break. Interesting day. Can we beat a decent team when we've only got our C game

[TitleTown]

First time I have seen Tuck get benched.

 

[HuskyNan]

Refs found their whistles. Geno must have been working hard at halftime.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Passes are a fraction late today. And Temple is quick.

Gabby with the 19 footer

Gabby is the key here. We need her random chaos: she breaks up the obvious patterns on both sides of the court.

 

[HuskyNan]

Huskies are taking better shots this half.

 

[NutmegDog]

Boy, we are looking pretty ordinary on D.

 

[HoopsFan21]

55-45 4:18 3rd

 

[HuskyNan]

Now that the UConn lead is 10, Temple is rushing a bit.

 

[HuskyNan]

Boy, we are looking pretty ordinary on D.

It's not often the Huskies look like the slower team.

 

[MilfordHusky]

It's not often the Huskies look like the slower team.

Agreed. Temple is quick and playing hard.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Turnovers: 13-13

Rebounds: 28-26 us.

Close!

 

[HuskyNan]

The rim robbed Lou.
