Message: [QUOTE="victor64, post: 3342279, member: 7101"] I live an hour from the Ohio State campus and was lucky to get to the game. Here is what I saw: --UConn travels well. Even to Ohio. It was weird seeing 75 fans behind the UConn bench standing until the Huskies scored. --I don't know how obvious it was on TV, but every time UConn drove to the basket in the first half, they were fouled, sometimes hard, with no call. I found it interesting that there was not a word from Geno to the refs. They deserved to hear him complain. --Crystal gave a 40 minute demonstration on what All-American point guard play looks like. The pass she got from Kyla coming out of the timeout at the end of the game was just one of several impressive plays. What other 5'5 point guard jumps up and intercepts an in-bounds pass? --Speaking of Kyla, other than the sloppy entry pass near the end of the game, she showed that she belonged out there during a close game. She was guarding Kiersten Bell a lot and seemed to do OK. Both charges she took were impactful. --As well as, overall, Megan has played, she still does three or four head scratching things a game. Today was no exception. --Anna joins a long list of freshmen that spent the second half of a game on the bench for apparent bad play. The only extended emotion I saw from Geno was with Anna. What was on her arms? Was it discussed and I missed it? -- Ohio State subbed freely trying to stay fresh. They still got tired at the end. UConn conditioning is not normal. --I kept thinking about how Geno wants to restrict Crystal's minutes. Maybe Tuesday against a less talented Dayton team. --I don't know what the announced attendance was. Looked to be about 7,000. It will probably be their biggest turnout of the year. --You don't appreciate UConn's composure until you can compare live with another team's. Many here, of course, are used to it. It is still impressive to see in this day and age. --The turnover against the press was CW's fault. She did not move to the pass. OSU went right through her to steal it. --I saw about four possessions of a UConn zone. A passive zone. I kept thinking it was a matchup. It was not. They did not look comfortable in it. I think a zone would be helpful second look but not the zone I saw today. [/QUOTE]
