UCLA Game Thread

Who was that who said NaPheesa was off? She is not off tonight!

 

[Kaizen]

Pheesa: who said I am no good

 

[huskeynut]

Pheesa is on fire

 

[StephStorrs]

I missed part of the quarter, but am I alone in thinking Pheesa already looks better this game than she has all season?

 

[oldude]

Pheesa had 27 the last time these two teams played. I'll take the over on the over/under.

 

[TitleTown]

Nice adjustment by Coach Auriemma to hedge hard on every screen for Canada in order to stop her penetration.

 

[sarals24]

This is more what I was expecting out of this team!

 

[Wbbfan1]

UConn in the process of a mini run of 7 straight points to take a 19-11 lead..

 

[JordyG]

Why has UCLA tried to slow the pace? They were effective pushing the ball up. I can't believe their wind is affected so early.

 

[bags27]

Crystal is learning that there is someone quicker out there: this is a very good lesson for her.

so long as UConn manages to sweep the boards, they'll do well...

 

[huskeynut]

Kia with the steal and the hoop.

 

[TitleTown]

Thats a BS call on Williams!

 

[bags27]

first rain cloud: Gabby with her first foul. She absolutely can't get her 2nd this half.

 

[sarals24]

Love Gabby's intensity. And Crystal. You can tell they are taking these matchups seriously!

 

[HoopsFan21]

21-11 end 1st

Collier is having a monster game -- great to see her back in form after looking like she hadn't shaken the funk of MSU.

Many teams get winded really early when playing against Uconn. Wilson and Coates need a serious breather in the first quarter last year remember?

 

[JordyG]

Right now it's Canada and the bunch, and the bunch is losing at the quarter.

 

[sarals24]

Is it me or did that quarter go by super quickly?

great catch!

 

[oldude]

My oh my, these Huskies play some defense.

 

[huskeynut]

Good first quarter.

 

[Husky fanatic]

Working hard. Go Pheesa

 

[HoopsFan21]

Guess it's safe to say Collier has her mojo back?

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

UCONN up 21 to 11 after 1 quarter

They were making a bunch of turnovers.

Yep. But here it's not just conditioning. The pressure, anticipation and desire can take away your wind as well, and that's what appears to have happened to 'LA.

11 Points in the 1st qtr for a very good offensive UCLA team
This could be the best defensive Uconn team of all time, I mean ALL TIME

 

[sarals24]

I love their defense this year. Offense looks better today than the other three games.

 

[bags27]

will they switch on Pheesa or play a zone low down? not sure it matters that much, because UConn hasn't been in a half-court offense that much; so many transition or points before defense is set.
