UCF vs. UConn — Game Thread

[BigBird]

Wow. Z has missed a ton of “bunnies” or so it seems... If UConn makes even half of the two-footers, they’d have at least another ten points.

Is it me, or does the UCF point guard look like she's wearing a diaper?

Ya know what really, really sucks? no free wings tonight. bet UCF are vegans or something....

Would like to see team match up against UCF in the AAC tournament. This is a good team to face before the NCAA's. They play tough defense which they'll face in the tournament. The only disadvantage to playing UCF they don't have the size that Baylor and Miss St have.

Note to posters - there is a difference between criticizing a play/player and just bitching and moaning. One is a valid point of discussion and the other is annoying in large doses.

UCF certainly is a grind it out kind of team. They are the Rutgers of the AAC.

There are two reasons UConn's total is so low:

1. UCF holds the ball 25 - 30 seconds every possession. Okay, fine, good defense clinic for UConn, and they are doing extremely well.
2. UConn missing hundreds of easy shots. They are not missing contested jumpers. They are missing open layups time and time again. I am amazed (and unhappy).

Does anyone know what Z is yelling when she's defending the in bounds?

Ball ball ball ball

I would have thought the bench would have come in earlier. Especially Kyla

Ball, Ball, Ball - Defensive communication. The defensive person on the ball calls it out and it gives the other defensive players knowledge as to where the ball is when their back is turned to it.

This is the kind of shooting performance that will get you knocked out of the NCAA tournament. I posted earlier this week about how essential Crystal is to overcoming the issues that the Huskies have against this kind of team. Kia has been great on defense, but is not longer even trying to run the point tonight.

I think Svetlana needs to be in the top 10 as well. She was their first 3-time first team All-American.

And her running mate, Shea.

Oh so now we can't complete a pass to a teammate.

If you want to beat UConn this is certainly one way to try to do it. Grind the game down and reduce number of possessions UConn has on offense.

This is entering Tulsa game territory.

My wife just walked into the room for the first time all game. Her first game related words... "it looks like #2 is wearing a diaper."

"BALL"

That was a quick 3 second call if it was called on Gabby.

With a dram of luck, the Huskies won’t face the UCF wbb wrestling team again until next season.

We will be facing teams that are physical yet are much better than UCF.

The question is why we are so thrown off by these types of teams.

UCF 6 UConn 5 at 4th quarter Media Timeout.

Really? Are we looking for new ways to criticize the team, judging 5 minutes segments?

Put in Lexi!!
