Tulane Game Thread

[2Husky]

no time went off when lou knocked out the first in bound attempt, second attempt shouldn't have counted. The refs are making this 8 on 5

 

[Ozimoto]

Seems the basketball gods need some appeasement tonight.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Nice execution by Tulane at the end of the 3rd. Set up by Lou's late foul.

Presumably, hopefully, she knew they weren't in the bonus. Taking a risk then could be good play.

UConn 25 points better than Tulane on the road according to Sagarin.

 

[TitleTown]

UConn has already beaten all of rhem

Is that a guarantee they will in the future? No. They are getting exposed tonight in a big way. Do they have time to fix their issues? Of course but it remains to be seen whether they will or not. Granted Geno has a pretty damn good track record at doing so but all I am saying is tonight is a chink in UConn's armor for the rest of the country.

Gabby not yet impacting the game.

First game in a while a team has defended us. It's the only way to stay with us.

 

[Mdoggie]

Tulane can't end the steak? Can they?

 

[Hongster]

Lou, Pheesa and Gabby get this!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice KLS showing some toughness there, 15 pts 50-42

 

[Flyegirl]

Teams have learned to play us physically. Our Achille's heal is our depth.

Well, you only need to win by 1 point. This is regular season. This game means zero in the grand scheme. Geno has publicly said he hopes this team loses a game. I suspect he wants to see how the team responds. Of course he will coach to win, but with 4 fouls, I suspect we won't see her till about 5-6 minutes left. I think that's why he's fairly calm. He wants to see how the players respond...

Rough start to the 4th quarter for Tulane, perhaps we can ice this one here

 

[Zorro]

Hey TT; Nat just got a block and a rebound! How about that?

 

[Blueballer]

Tulane is boxing out well.

 

[huskeynut]

Now its really getting ugly. Refs whistles galore.

 

[JordyG]

When have we seen Crystal Dangerfield fake that outside 3 and go inside?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Vorpahl with a 3, 50-45 8:17 4th

 

[connie]

Great rebound by Butler.

Likewise, this game isn't a predictor of future problems, either

 

[Flyegirl]

Gotta give to Tulane, they came to play!!

 

[Mdoggie]

I'm leaving. I mean putting down my phone. I can't take it.

No different then any other team............add injury, foul trouble and poor execution and there's always a chance you can lose..........Geno has been preaching this from day one this season..........nothing that future opponents aren't fully aware of.............oh and I forgot, add bad refereeing................

 

[HoopsFan21]

50-47 7:39 4th

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Would help if the refs were competent. Collier would be out there.

Yes, This is an aberration. They happen sometimes.
