UCLA Game Thread

[Orangutan]

Walker is a good player and someday may be a great one, but she is not even close to impacting the game on both ends like Williams does.

Absolutely, but she's not exactly a liability either. I swear I started writing this post before Walker made three straight 3s.

Megan,,, Megan

Walker and Collier have officially woken up Watch out rest of the field

This announcer's crazy. UConn's team defense is great. The defensive player of the year is out with two fouls, so it looks a little disjointed at the moment.

UConn getting ABSOLUTELY SCREWED by the officials!

Don't know who's going to win, but maybe Coco can help here as he did when I asked where the thread was 2 years ago on Lou not being a good shooter. Where's the thread on Walker not being a good shooter?

Have to like how Jordan Canada is playing. She is everywhere on the court. Deflecting passes, making great passes to her teammates.

What was that call under the basket? Uconn is getting screwed by the refs.

 

[YellwJcket999]

D4mn Azura. No stupid fouls!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Hate that foul call. Offensive player runs into the defensive player and the defense gets the fouled called on them. That's Naphesa's 2nd foul. Can't pick up the 3rd in the last minute of the half.

Z needs to learn the Stewie method of defense - you're freaking 6'6, just stand there with your arms up. How many shots did Stewie block without leaving the ground??

Crystal Dangerfield for 3!!!! 40-29 :30 2nd

 

[TitleTown]

Come on get a stop here!

 

[huskeynut]

Crystal for 3

 

[sarals24]

That is Crystal's spot!

 

[HoopsFan21]

40-29 half

 

[huskeynut]

40 - 29 UConn at the half.

 

[YellwJcket999]

The home game refs kept the game closer than what it really is.

 

[sarals24]

OK - Gabby out most of the 2nd, no KLS, and some bad calls. And we're up by 11 at the half. I'll take it.

 

[j66kicker]

Kobe in the house

 

[JordyG]

No Walker no lead at the half. Good to have Gabby back in the 3rd though.

2nd quarter UConn 19 UCLA 18. Megan Walker has 11 points and I believe all were scored in the 2nd quarter. Was superb off the bench when Gabby picked up her 2nd foul. Allowed Geno to keep Gabby on the bench and not pick up her 3rd foul.

UConn 40 UCLA 29 at the half.

It's anyone's game, if UCLA continues to force UConn play a half-court game.

 

[TitleTown]

Nice job by Walker to step up. I'll take it, UConn is up 11 and we got virtually nothing out of Stevens, Williams, and Nurse. They will wake up in the 2nd half.

 

[huskeynut]

Megan showing what she is capable of. Very good sign for us.

 

[jaundicedeye]

Home cooking by the refs was my biggest concern going in.

 

[Vowelguy]

That 2nd quarter was rough until Megan bailed them out with those 3s.

This UCLA team is very dangerous IMHO.

Those refs never called UCLA... I want to know their names and complain to NCAA

It looks very funny when your bench consists of 1 player but good bench production MW

 

[TitleTown]

Amazing that a disciplined team like UConn that has a reputation for not fouling has virtually twice as many fouls as UCLA. Home town officiating?
