UConn 77 ND 67

Ok. But who's responsibility was she in transition? (I'm asking; I don't know.)

It depends. One of the guards, but not always Kelly if she went for a rebound for example. Some of her transition baskets came from ND breaking UConn's press which doesn't assign a defender to a particular player. Kelly guarded McBride for many (but not all) half-court possessions but it's not like she was told to shadow McBride all over the court.

The UConn team needs to do a better job of forcing McBride to take tough shots.

Alot of nervous fans from reading the boards. All we have to do is play good defense and we will win. Good defense leads to break ways, which leads to easy baskets, which leads to confidence, which leads to momentum, which leads to ND second guessing. Then pound it down low all nite. If we play good defense we win.

Defense,Defense,Defense LIMIT STUPID TOs
The rest we will take care of with our offense to
win this one by more than everyone else thinks
My concern is letting Diggins being allowed to push
off without the ball FOUL or creating contact on
going to the basket and not being called for innitiating
contact or getting a shooting foul given
Want to shut her down DONT LET HER DRIVE TO HER LEFT
TOO much offense,TOO much defense for ND or their fans
LET US RAIN ON THEIR PARADE
77-66 the good guys

LIMIT STUPID TOs

That one right there may just do it. No easy baskets for ND.

Disagree UConnCat: Such prediction is certainly not consistent with the teams' recent history




This is an interesting development: disagreeing in a thread requesting predictions (guesses. open prognostication of the future)
A new high for the group

I won!

I won!

You shouldn't be happy.

 

[VAUConnFan]

I won!

Yes, you won, but did you call the three overtimes.
I'm looking at the stats, looking at the play by play, replaying the game, and still cannot believe UConn lost.
