Collier is like from another planet!

In the post game interview, Geno was pretty relaxed, even laughing. I bet he's happy to have a win that will help him get the team more focused. The offense has been drifting of late and this will show the young guys that wins aren't automatic.

Did he actually say: "Gotta luv those refs!"

they played a terrible game, but Tulane was relentless and the loss of Pheesa for a good portion of the 2nd half was telling. she is the glue that holds them together.

I didnt hear that

Collier is like from another planet!

She's just steady eddy. Quiet and just goes about her business.

Meg with some good post game analysis. This game was a wake up call. Was this enough to teach them a lesson? We won't know.

I think he wants to see how the Huskies will respond.

Similarly, I think he left Napheesa in in the first half to force her to play with two fouls. A "learning experience" if you will.

25-0 Tulane in bench points

Notice the wink.

Unlike other games where I could ding him for not talking about the good rather than focusing on the bad, this game he was right and rather restrained about it, too.

Even if he was, don't reinforce it! - LOL

Nothing wrong with a close game once in a great while. None of us thought this team was invincible at the start of the season. I'l take the win and look forward to the next one.

Was that aberrant enough for you? It was for me. Kia sorely missed. Decent refs sorely missed. The team never got into a flow tonight. Kudos to the Tulane kids.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Wire to wire baby. Never a bead of sweat, right?

Right. Totally invalidated your notion that it was a trap game.

 

[Plebe]

Can we just take a second to imagine what would've happened in this game if Queen Napheesa was having a bad game like everyone else?
7 of 9 on field goals, 11 of 12 on free throws. Oh and 12 rebounds as well.
She was the calm amid the New Orleans hurricane.

Geno: today the wrong team won

 

[TitleTown]

True, but TT raises negativity to an art form.

Thank you.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I really don't remember Tulane being down 17 pts, Geno has said this twice now

 

[Gus Mahler]

Collier 26 pts 12 reb 3 blk

Including that great block with the left hand. Like Stewie and Kiah, she's an equal opportunity shot blocker.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno: my guys had no business winning this game

 

[Zorro]

He is one cold dude!!

 

[Flyegirl]

Geno: today the wrong team won

I agree.

Believe it or not, it was 38-21 at some point.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno: there is only one kid on our team that is going to show up and give you the same thing every night (Collier)

 

[Gus Mahler]

Tonight's team was the team that this time a year ago many on this board feared this year's team would be.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Believe it or not, it was 38-21 at some point.

Holy cow you're right. I don't remember that. Seemed like after 10-0 the game was tight the rest of the way.
