Tulsa Game Thread

We gave up too many open threes and a few layups. Plus, we shot poorly.

Pheesa, Saniya, and Kia are playing well.

Add Danger to that list.

Good for Geno. Love seeing him pissed at how the team played in the first half. Totally justified. Glad to see extended minutes for Crystal and some good 1st half minutes for Irwin. Unfortunately Kyla is not a good defender, but I think Geno was trying to make a point. Chateau de bow wow indeed...

Any coach that is not pissed by a performance like that from a team like this should be fired.

Katie Lou seems to rush her shots today and Gabby didn't play her usual are the reason they are on the bench. But, watch out for them in second half.

So. I guess the generally concensus is that UConn didn't play well in the first half.

Closer to just "didn't Play".

When Geno said early in the season that this team, "needs to get their ass beat", I treated it largely as hyperbole. But when the Huskies play like this, without a sense of urgency, Geno's comments really hit home.

They've honestly played one good half out of the last 5. I haven't really been pleased with their overall play since the first half of Houston. I mean, the first half against Temple now looks like an anomaly.

Geno at half: it's February if I have to say anything to anybody then we got a lot of problems. Then just walks off.

He did that at least once last year. I think it's rude and disrespectful to the interviewer. I know he's angry but she's just doing her job.

"Geno you ended the half with Katie Lou and Gabby Williams on the bench. What can you say to them to get them going in the 2nd half"?

"Uh-m-m, it's February. If I have to say anything to get anybody going in February then you know what? We got a lot of problems".

Rebecca recapping UCONN first half on ESPN2 in the break between the MD-Indiana game and SC-Arkansas game. They showed Justine's brief Geno halftime interview, and the ESPN2 crew were also speechless. Just something like, "Hmmmmmm... That was succinct."

It's called great coaching !

 

[huskeynut]

Geno was rather animated before the team broke the huddle.

 

[JordyG]

Meg said the half time for UConn was probably colorful. Geno on the sidelines before the start of the 2nd certainly is colorfully jawing.

 

[JordyG]

Nurse with the first 4 in the half.

 

[JordyG]

Gabby just picked up her first foul. The teams FIRST THIS GAME.

 

[JordyG]

Collier is just so steady its scary. She played all 20 mins in the first.

 

[TitleTown]

Another wide open layup missed.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 48-28 7:19 3rd

 

[TitleTown]

All hustle by Williams.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We're going to limp through the rest of this game and win something like 80-48 on the strength of our superior talent and athleticism.

Geno's already thinking ahead to practice tomorrow (or maybe later today).

 

[JordyG]

Nurse missed another layup while looking for the foul. Then comes back for the 3. Nurse however looking gimpy. Lou actually almost got a rebound.

 

[JordyG]

UConn starting to play with more pace on offense and defense so Tulsa calls a TO.

 

[MilfordHusky]

So. I guess the generally concensus is that UConn didn't play well in the first half.

Or the consensus.

Kia stung the ankle when she went down a couple of minutes ago ... lateral motion to the right affected

 

[Kaizen]

When it is not your day, it just not your way ...LOL

 

[j66kicker]

Collier already at 18/8, Kia has 14
