Stokes was on the floor for about 15 to 20 minutes Friday. "We are getting closer to getting her back, but not likely [Sat] #uconnwomen

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno says sophomore F Kiah Stokes is beginning to feel better [stess reaction] She hasn't played since Dec. 6 #UConnwomen


John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno on Bria Hartley playing 7 minutes at Oregon: "I just didn't feel like playing her. I thought [Jefferson and Tuck] deserved more PT."

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno: "ND gets fouled a lot and they never foul. And when they foul, they let you know about it." #uconnwomen

What's he saying? They foul hard?

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno: "That [the FT discrepancy] is uncanny. They must have a secret formula for it. We'd like to find out what it is. And they never foul."


John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno delivers subtle message that he believes #ndwbb getting to foul line a lot and opponents are not #UConnwomen

Subtle?

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno on #ndwbb "They are as good as any team we will play, so if you play poorly or don’t make plays when you need to, they beat you.”

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno thinks freshman G Jewell Loyd is #ndwbb best player right now. "She makes a lot of things happen for them." #UConnwomen

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Geno on #ndwbb beating #UConnwomen 4 out of 5: "“They were really good when they needed to be and we stank when we needed to be [good]"

Yep, that's about it. UConn was up in both the game in SB and the FF game.

The game in the 2011 F4 will forever piss me off. Maya's third NC was there for the taking!

Indeed it was.

Is Geno working the refs before the game even start? He won't to that, would he? ​

I posted days ago that I believed he started that immediately after the ST game
Rightfully so! Either call fouls consistently or dont call them at all! Either way we will

Geno - ". . . .and they never foul"
Actually they do foul. They foul more than UConn. The large discrepancy is that they get fouled - a lot. Not only that, a larger percentage of the fouls are shooting fouls. They are also a better FT shooting team.

UConn has gotten fouled 183 times in 12 games. From that they had 185 FT's and 138 points.
ND has gotten fouled 219 times in 12 games. From that they had 283 FT's and 230 points.

That's a 10 PPG difference between the teams. Significant, but not because ND doesn't foul.

Indeed it was.

I'm with you guys on that. Bad play by Stef, bad call on Stef, and she had to sit. That opened the lane for a series of and-ones.

We have no doubt we would have beaten TAMU.

Did Geno mention anything about jet lag?

Did Geno mention anything about jet lag?

He did mention on The Geno Show that when he got home on New Years Day, he slept. He didn't know if the girls celebrated, but he slept.
