[Kaizen]

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

Yes with your blessing... they listen you

64-38 9:49 4th

Gabby with the steal and to the line.

You know, for all her fancy moves and crowd "ooh"s and "ahh"s, Jordin Canada has done extremely little in the way of putting the ball in the basket.

The Hollywood glitz and glamour audience should be reminded about what actually matters in this game.

 

[AdamOwe]

Good sportsmanship in this game. Pheesa earlier w Canada and now Jordin returning the favor w Gabby.

 

[NoelAustin]

Perhaps Megan should start in place of KLS?

 

[huskeynut]

Lead up to 28

 

[Orangutan]

Z picks up her foul and it was 46-38

Walker comes in and it's 16-0

I guess she's justifying the months of breathless speculation on this forum over her recruitment, eh? Just kidding, nothing could justify those months of lunacy!

 

[TitleTown]

Game changed when UConn made the adjustment to attack the rim off the bounce.

 

[Vowelguy]

So I'm guessing the Q2 sluggishnesss was a result of Gabby being on the bench.

I would like to think the team wouldnt have that much of a dropoff from 1 player, but it could be.

Huge shout-out for KIA! Can't run, can't jump, isn't shooting (just kidding about that). But she's playing a near-perfect floor game. Steadying Crystal, boxing out, just all the small things. What a tremendous competitor.

 

[huskeynut]

Pheesa with a nice drive and to the line.

Time to put Azura' and some of the Role players in the game. Give them some experience against the UCLA starters. Not saying wholesale substitution, just a couple of the freshmen.

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

really looking like UCLA flew the 3000 miles for this game!!! UCONN still looks fresh and active!

 

[Vowelguy]

Still just 1 turnover this half after 10 in the 1st.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Yes, Jordin you did foul.

Or just maybe the other team is pretty good?

 

[oldude]

UConn's going to be shooting fouls for the rest of the game

72-45 6:37 4th

UCLA has a really nice team. They will go deep in the tourney. They would be really dangerous if Canada and Billings had one more year.

 

[TitleTown]

I think Stevens might be in the old Dog House.

 

[bags27]

How is Z going to respond to effectively being benched (I know she's got 3 fouls, but with 6:37 in the 4th, she should come back in, but Geno likes the movement better with the small lineup)? Will she be a better player or will it stunt her? My money is on her being motivated and improving markedly by the spring.

I don't think you can underestimate the energy and intensity she brings to the game.

Say it again bags. I think it needs saying more around here. She's one of my stars of the game. Crystal's defense on Canada has been just terrific too.
