Pregame on now. Kara on things Geno wants team to improve upon:

* Better one-on-one defense by Stewie - she bails herself by getting a lot of blocks
* Would like KML to return to the team and shoot some 3s
* Would like the team to learn to finish off their opponents and not let them hang around like St. John's was able to
* Would like team to have more consistent 1st halves

Geno on practice:

* Kids look to Morgan, she balances everyone out, gives everyone confidence. Morgan looked at the game and studied it while she was out last year. Every day she comes to practice and work hard. Like I said she's our leader. We lean on Morgan Tuck more than we lean on anybody.

Captain Morgan: so calm, so smart, so good.

Geno on the bench:

People think that Coach Auriemma only likes 6 or 7 players. No, he likes good players. He likes guys that are reliable, dependable, who show up, and work hard, and if he had 10 of those guys then he would play all 10 of them. People think because our players are cute and nice that they're all going to play.

Trying to inbound the ball against Stewie is tough. I saw it up close on Sun.

Love Morgan's under and up move at the hoop - 2 pts. Total concentration, touch play.

ESPN3 must be running a long delay - getting your reports at least 1/2 minute before I see them

KML saw that first ball go in, and I think it'll make all the difference for her tonight. I hope she not just ties, but breaks, Diana's record tonight.

How does this sound? "All-American Morgan Tuck"

I hope she passes Morgan Eye tonight!

I think she's on pace so far

Yep, closer to 1 minute, maybe more.

Another 10 second call on Tulsa 5+ minutes in.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Morgan is so slippery quick in the post. No wasted motion.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Another 3 for Mo! 23-9 13:40. Mo is 11-14 from 3 since christmas break.
