When was the last time UConn got beat on the backdoor?

Shades of the Stanford game.

 

[Charliebball]

these kinds of games are valuable...............especially if you win

Games like tonight happen when people start asking whether UConn will visit the White House this year or will UConn go 195-0, etc. The Basketball Gods are a very fickle bunch.

Shades of the Stanford game.

I would sooner compare it to Nova or Cuse. That kind of crazy stuff.

 

[StephStorrs]

Whatever happens, happens. I want to commend the effort and toughness and grit from Napheesa though, who has embodied the definition of Bad Ass tonight. She's completely blossomed this season in ways that I don't think could have ever been anticipated.

UConn typically has aWTF game in January or early February. They're just late this year. It will be good in other long run, focusing the team for the post season

 

[JordyG]

Clean block on Lou.

 

[Flyegirl]

Samuelson is either too slow with her shot or something because she keeps getting blocked on her threes.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Damn need to make free throws

 

[JordyG]

You have to hand it to Tulane. They have executed when they've needed and played defense when they've needed. Gabby, both?

 

[Flyegirl]

Whistles galore!

 

[Plebe]

Wow. Vorpahl just missed a wide-open 3 that would've cut the lead to 3. This is actually a wild and exciting game.

 

[connie]

This game is amazing. Tulane is playing out of its mind.

 

[HuskyNan]

Not getting much love from the refs on the 50-50 calls

[HuskyNan]

Defense is going too

 

[JordyG]

No Collier, no game.

 

[TitleTown]

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

I agree but it has exposed UConn's weaknesses.

 

[JordyG]

Want character? Tulane has oodles. As for exposing UConn's weaknesses, the coaches around this country have eyes. They're smart. They no what UConn's weaknesses are, but when UConn misses shots they're just laid a little more bare. It hasn't helped that production from the backcourt has also been negligible.

 

[huskeynut]

We are getting outplayed and out hustled.

 

[Blueballer]

I agree but it has exposed UConn's weaknesses.

Yes - themselves

 

[Flyegirl]

Travels, double dribbles, crappy defense....lucky we didn't do this on Monday night!
