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.

 

[HuskyNan]

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.

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................

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

Yes, This is an aberration. They happen sometimes.

 

[JordyG]

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

[Ozimoto]

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.

 

[Blue Huskie]

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.

 

[HuskyNan]

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

 

[HoopsFan21]

55-53 4:13 4th

 

[HuskyNan]

Defense is going too

 

[JordyG]

No Collier, no game.
