UCF vs. UConn — Game Thread

[Tenspro2002]

Alarming performance that gives a blueprint to every team looking to challenge us this year.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Yes! Camara scores!

 

[BigBird]

Molly drops a dime.

One more time - there’s NO POINT GUARD

Shows the importance of having a point guard run the offense.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

One more time - there’s NO POINT GUARD

Well, they don't really have one either. And their top scorer is out.

It's no secret this is how you give yourself a chance. Play physical, hope UConn misses bunnies and turns the ball over.

 

[EricSD]

Dreadful 4th Q. I wonder what Geno's comments will be - if he's unhappy with the team, or is more "meh" about the whole 2nd half.

 

[HoopsFan21]

55-37 final

 

[ASweet3781]

I will wait to see what Geno has to say before I comment. Let's see what he thinks about what we just watched.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Player of the Game: Katie Lou Samuelson!!!!!!

 

[Blue Huskie]

Borders on Bush L. when your killing the clock and they're slapping at the ball

 

[DefenseBB]

Who ever is the producer of the SNY broadcast sucks! Stop with the up close of the player when the game is actually going on. We’ve missed 4 turnovers

 

[HuskyNan]

Geno: without Crystal we’re not the same team. Too many people playing a lot of minutes, felt bad for the starters. We get tired because we don’t have enough bodies.

 

[Wbbfan1]

UConn 18 points scored in the 2nd half. UCF scored 25. If UCF had a three point shooter, they might have made the game interesting.

Maybe Crystal would make a difference. Future opponents will see a different team, really. Or at least I hope so.

Baskets in the Paint Final
UConn 4 + 3 +2 + 3 =12
I would rather watch paint dry 0 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 6

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Eh, don't blame the bench Geno. The starters played most of the game and were not good.

 

[HuskyNan]

Gosh, Geno doesn’t seem to think the team is all that bad. Imagine that.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno: without Crystal we’re not the same team. Too many people playing a lot of minutes, felt bad for the starters. We get tired because we don’t have enough bodies.

And he said the first group's defense was good because they had only given up 18 points through 3 quarters.

 

[oldude]

Trying to remember the last time that UConn scored less than 60 pts. Maybe the 2010 National championship vs Stanford when the Huskies had 55 against Stanford. Won that one too, by 8 pts.

 

[BigBird]

CUL my friends. Remember...it WAS a win.

 

[Mlb0814]

Lots of missed layups that should have gone in. Even if fouls don’t get called you still need to put the ball in the basket.

 

[CTGirl15]

Well, this one was down right brutal. UCF played ugly and UConn didn't help themselves by missing almost every open layup they had at times. These are the games we're you're happy to walk away with a win and no injuries (hoping Kia is ok). Reminded me of the old Rutgers games back in the day, first team to 50 wins.

The team will be happy to be at home on Saturday and have Crystal back. Will be interesting to see how they come out and play.

 

[Centerstream]

UConn 18 points scored in the 2nd half. UCF scored 25. If UCF had a three point shooter, they might have made the game interesting.

Well then they probably would have shot more often and given us more possessions. Or Kia would have covered her, and...

 

[HuskyNan]

Eh, don't blame the bench Geno. The starters played most of the game and were not good.

How about you play 40 minutes of basketball against a team that’s determined to hold, slap, and push you around. See how peppy you’d be at the end of the game.

Some of you posters are unbelievable.

And... "Guess I haven't done a good job finding them." Ouch

The refs were not calling the fouls on many of those missed bunnies.

 

[oldude]

Just so everyone doesn't feel too bad after this game, at home tonight Louisville beat a pretty bad Clemson team 65-46. It must have been "ugly game night" in WBB.

 

[psconn]

UCF did a great job on D. Some possessions it looked like there was 6 defenders.

 

[Blue Huskie]

This is what we would have if more women's teams played the game like the men do. One of the reasons I don't watch the men much anymore. (Not specifically the UCONN men just men's basketball in general). I think it's ugly basketball.

 

[enigmatic]

Ugly game showcasing the value of Dangerfield when she's not on the floor but hey we still held UCF to under 40 points and it was a win so I can live with that.
