Towson postgame thread

[ochoopsfan]

I think, actually I know, Lou would rather win 5 more games than pass anyone in scoring.

I hope Insomnia Cookies is open this weekend.

Survive and advance, baby, just win. No style points in the post season.

I normally wouldn't care about style points, but this year, given the circumstances, I want Geno to run up every score. If people want to complain later, then he can point to the selection committee.

As Geno would point out, "She's no longer a freshman."

In March there are no Freshman; they have had a full season to reach the next plateau. KLS was KLS, not 100 percent but magnitudes above where I would expect.
I expect we are seeing the true CW she has much growth to do but this NCAA she will excell. My complaint she was open and didn't shoot when the team went dry. Good start.
PS, you were right in a former posting about KLS and her back.

What impressed me the most was Lou's passing, a skill that will make her a top WNBA player.

My make up just won't let me root for UT!

Collier needs 7 rebounds to catch Stewie for 4th.

Jesus. I guess I forgot that. That is really pretty remarkable. Would anyone--ANYONE!--have ever thought to predict in 2015-16 that freshman Naphesa Collier (more often than not, 7th off the bench, wasn't she?) would not only wind up UConn's 3rd all-time leading scorer, but would also pass Stewie for 4th all-time rebounds?!?

Lou's an amazing all around player that simply wants to win. She might not be the best in any statistical category, but any team that passes her up would be crazy.

She's always looking. Loved her trademark overhead two-hand dart from the top of the key to a cutting teammate under the basket for two.

You guys see the passes Lou made tonight? There were at least a couple "wow" passes. From our 3.

In the words of Col. Nathan Jessup, "Is there another kind?"

SHE CAN!!!! I don't think she will. I believe she sat out the entire 4th quarter. I understand why. Geno could care less about her assault on Charles' career scoring mark. With the game well in hand, Lou was right where she needed to be at that point in the game.

If given her choice, another "chip" or passing Charles, we know which one she (we) would prefer.

chip or ship?

chip or ship?

I’m going to need you to immediately put those chips back on everyone’s shoulders.

Hey how about that Jeter kid for Towson? She was pretty athletic with good speed and hops.

Geno gave her a little cheek tap in the handshake line. He liked her game too.

 

[OneTrickPony]

I missed the game- how did Katie Lou look? Did she move around easily?

Played within herself...shot beautifully...and took an early shot to the back that didn’t seem to affect her at all, not even a flinch. Right on schedule...

No attack but why would someone claiming to be a UConn fan want to run up a score?
In no way shape or form would that have any effect on the selection committee this year or in the future. I would simply think the goal would be is to make the final four, thus proving to the committee who should have been the four one seeds.
Running up the score is classless and serves no purpose what so ever at any level of sports. The 2's and some bench got time tonight that could prove way more valuable than running up the score down the road.
We have a world class program with a world class coaching staff. Again no attack on you or those that like your idea, simply not anything I would consider even remotely.

I thought it was a good sign that Megan was the first UConn player to score. Hopefully this is a sign that the underclassmen won't be deferring to the seniors during the tournament.

 

[BigBird]

I’m wondering if Adam Amin will watch the replay of the Huskies’ game. I’m pretty sure he missed it the first time.

 

[Huskee11]

As for Lou, she did not run the floor or jump like she was 100%. With that said, she played a very solid game.

Fair assessment.

Lou did hit the deck a few times and did not seem affected. Tried to draw a charge once, which wasn’t my favorite idea.

I thought she moved better on defense as the game went on.

Towson was focusing on her and it opened things up for other players. I think she had five assists in the first half and wasn’t forcing her own offense.

Her outside shot looked great in warmups and in the game, even though she wasn’t elevating as much on it. Hmmmm, maybe we are onto something here..........................

Geno et al postgame.

While I understand your sentiment here, I’d remind that it isn’t UConn’s job to keep UConn from scoring. If insulting the opponent is the issue, I’d suggest that the biggest disrespect one could do is showing your oponent that they are no longer worthy of your competitive best. And if we are going to under-compete, how does the opponent get better by learning from play when the team with the “safe” lead mostly quits? This is reminiscent of the silly bit in baseball where the batter gets a homer, but the pitcher thinks he has a right to throw at somebody’s head because he was “shown up” (whatever the heck that means). You don’t want to see a slow HR trot, then don't groove a 3-2 fast ball. In hoops, if you can’t tolerate losing by 50, then deal with it...by getting better.

Glad you said that. With tonight's game, I'm officially giving up on him.

And these reporters! "What will it mean to have Lou back out there?"

Can't they drop the 2-seed thing by now and ask about the game?
