UCF Game Thread

UConn looks absolutely gassed. Getting beat to every 50/50 ball, missing layups, missing foul shots, etc are all signs of a tired basketball team.

 

[BigBird]

36% shooting? Egads.

 

[Blueballer]

SNY audio guy sleeping on the job. Can't hear Geno.

Pretty ugly 1st half and a sound problem with Justine's mic

 

[JordyG]

This is exactly the type of game MSS played against UConn last year with better talent. Geno's interview before the half was thankfully blanked out. Broadcast TV isn't ready for that much profanity.

 

[BigBird]

Even Justine is having (technical) difficulties.

 

[HuskyNan]

And yet, there's a 13 point lead at halftime and USF has only 19 points. Not every game is going to be a masterpiece.

 

[TitleTown]

Wow, Coach Auriemma's interview was so filled with obscenities that they had to mute the whole thing.

 

[Wbbfan1]

can you believe the Shots the team is missing tonight

No, there was a technical problem. They said he wasn't that angry

so in a couple of days UConn went from running on all cylinders to being a shell of itself..........................welcome to college basketball................................

This type of game when the microphone does not work. KLS having one of her poorer games after the 2 made 3's early. Z is the X factor. UCF cant do anything to stop her.

At least we'll get to hear from Lou during this half time show.

If USF can't get a deflection or steal, there isn't much they can stop. UConn is rushing and has missed a ton of point blank, unguarded shots and easy jumpers.

IMO I just see a ref crew letting them play. The only way UCF can keep the score low is by physical play. Of course Geno isn't going to hear that excuse. He wants better results physical or not and he's right. I'm a fan so I can cut them some slack. One of the so called 50/50 balls they got beat to was a take down move on Lou that didn't get called. UCF isn't going to win but they can make the game very sloppy and ugly. Unfortunately the refs are letting them do it. Reminds me of the good ol Rutgers days. And like the Rutgers games I always worry about somebody getting hurt. Like the time Taurasi got a back injury.

I know, it was a joke.

32-19 sure sounds like a 1Q score.

I was thinking of the old Rutgers games as well.

Sounds like my IQ scores.

AAC tourney game against UCF last year was ugly for a half too. UConn adjusted pretty well. Let's see if they can do it again.

 

[eebmg]

UCF willing to compete physically. The opposite of USF

 

[HoopsFan21]

32-19 sure sounds like a 1Q score.

That's an SEC game after 3.

 

[Roger G]

I think UConn is going to play much better and faster in the second half. The shooting might not get better, but I think their effort will.

The foul that they called on Gabby was because the girl was holding her and Gabby shook her loose and she fell to the ground.
