1 TO this quarter

 

[Orangutan]

UConn's very thin without KLS and Camara. Looks like a dogfight to the finish.

Or, ya know, UConn will win by 25+

 

[HoopsFan21]

62-38 end 3rd

 

[huskeynut]

Megan with the steal and 2.

What a quarter.

LOVE Megan Walker.

Megan looks like she might finish with a really nice +/- today.

Making three 3s helps, of course...but overall I don't think Geno can be too pissed about her play today.

'LA saying to themselves, "I guess this isn't Baylor huh?".

Huskies defense smothering in the 3rd qtr

 

[bags27]

I was screaming at the TV with 2: 20 or so and UConn up by 16 or so that UCLA had to call a time out. What a terrible coaching decision to let it play out.. You cannot let UConn smell blood.

what a terrific end of UConn, what an amazing play by Megan. A star is born!!

What was the score when Azura went out? Did this entire run happen with her out?

 

[Blueballer]

Spurtability has returned

 

[TitleTown]

Not over yet guys.

 

[BoomBoom]

UCLA keeping those timeouts in their back pocket so they can advance the ball in the last minute?

 

[huskeynut]

UConn outscores UCLA 22 - 9 in the 3rd quarter. Ended the quarter with a 16 - 2 run.

Vintage UConn.

 

[Kaizen]

I told you Megan is good ....

Yeah pretty much, think they were only up 8 when she went out.

 

[mdakota]

I'm so happy Collier and Walker have arisen WOOOOTTTTT!!!!

 

[Husky fanatic]

As Red Auerbach would say “Smoke if you got em” Time to light the cigar

 

[bags27]

Coach Auriemma is really starting to work the officials hard now.

and so is Geno!

This smaller, quicker lineup is doing all the damage. They look less bottled up with Stevens off the court. Hopefully, she can get integrated later on.

 

[Vowelguy]

Not over yet guys.

Yes it is.

I think part of it is slotting her into the starting role for KLS. They are totally different players, and the starters are used to having KLS out there to spread the defense with her shooting. It's a more natural fit when she replaces Collier or Gabby.

Maybe. All I know is sub her out and Walker in and we go on like a 14-2 run basically right away. I would be interested to see her real +/- advanced stats thus far.

*I know, its super early and we are still killing teams. Just trying to pick nits and figure out what are the low-hanging fruit to improve during the season. FIguring out Stevens as a player, where she fits, how she can tighten up her game seems tops to me*

 

[JordyG]

I don't think Z should return unless someone gets into foul trouble.

 

[Wbbfan1]

UConn ends the 3rd quarter on a 14-0 Run to take a 24 point lead. 62-38. UConn defense has been stifling Jordin Canada is 2 - 9 for 4 points. Jordin gets into the middle a lot but she's looking to pass the ball to her teammates. Because of that, she hasn't gone to the line so far in this game.

Z picks up her foul and it was 46-38

Walker comes in and it's 16-0
