Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3410258, member: 7492"] Like some of you who have been posting, I went to the game last night and have a few observations that have not been noted yet, some significant, some not as much. 1. There were a lot of LV fans there, more than I would ever expect to wear that color to a game. All were very nice that I met. 2. Before the game, Geno and Kellie were talking quite a bit to each other and CD and Shea made efforts to hug and talk to Kellie as well. Nice to see. 3. TN led 26-18 at the 6:15 mark of the 2nd quarter (26 points in 13:45 minutes played) and only scored 19 points in 26:45 the rest of the game. The team on the floor was Aubrey, Anna, CW, CD and MW. They started the second half as well. 4. At the half, Geno had to do a Pat Foundation check presentation so he was animated talking to CD when the rest of the team went into the locker room. His finger was wagging up and down at CD and gestures to the Locker as if to say "tell the team that xxx and yyy and NOT ". This went on for a minute plus. They then did a nice check presentation of $10,000 from UConn to the Pat Summit Foundation where it was noted Geno was the first coach to donate to it when it was founded. Kellie Jolly Harper also took part in the ceremony. 5. UConn was late coming back onto the Floor with just over 2 minutes left of the intermission. Normally teams come out with 5 min left to do shooting. 6. The half time show was THE RED PANDA and her 8 foot Unicycle and bowl catching act! Pretty cool. 7. When Key picked up her 5th foul and left the game, KJH spent significant time talking to her, calming her down and calmly pointing and showing her on the floor items. That was nice to see and you did see Key calm down after that, nod her head and go to the bench. 8. While we have a really good freshman class coming in (understatement) and Tennessee does not, TN will have Zay Green back who is arguably their second best player after Davis. TN should be improved next year with her. 9. The post game pressers by both teams were well done. Please go watch them. KJH did not show disrespect to Aubrey. She could have noted her energy and what she did to her team on defense but that's quibbling. KJH did correctly note this team turns the ball over too much and needs to get better at that. Her presses are INFINITELY better than anything HOLLY ever did. Remember, this is not a Kellie team but a conglomerate of AAs that Holly put together regardless of chemistry or rationale. The team looked much better tonight than against Alabama. Davis did play well and I was impressed with her. That said, Meg is better. Fun game, bad shooting, great hustle, great atmosphere.
