UConn - BYU Game Thread

[MilfordHusky]

Lead to 19 at 5:12.

It's now ok to breathe!

 

[Icebear]

Stef with an OMG call against her. She never got close enough to foul.

 

[huskeynut]

What a BS call against Stef!!!

 

[JellyBean]

I agree with Stef...oh my God!! You call that touch foul but not the fouls on the other end when she and Bria were getting hammered?

 

[Icebear]

Is Hartley kidding me with that turnover? Geez.

She makes too many brain dead plays for someone as good as she is.

 

[alexrgct]

Well, out of what I hope will be 80 halves of basketball, the first half was just about the worst one I have seen thus far. But credit where it's due as relates to second half execution and grit.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kaleena with 17 and 13.

 

[rvwsleep]

Please. Can we stop complaining about the officiating. It's embarrassing. 18 fouls on BYU 8 on UCONN.

 

[ASweet3781]

If you want to know why Banks doesn't get more PT? Dribbling and shooting right into a 6'7 player isn't the wisest use of a possession.

 

[UConnCat]

Now why did Banks think she could shoot over Hamson? Goodness.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I have often wondered if anything positive comes out of games such as this other than the W.

 

[NutmegDog]

Well, we can shoot under 40% and still win.... but it's not real pretty.

 

[MilfordHusky]

We have Kaleena and they don't.

 

[SHS72]

Over. Whew!

 

[alexrgct]

How did byu's score augment from 50 to 51 there?

I really hope it's just a matter of her being slow, coming off of injury. She's like the Omar Calhoun of the women's team. Just awful this year.

The numbers are irrelevant. Bad calls are bad calls.

 

[BigBird]

So glad that KML got on the team bus today. Leaving her at the hotel would not have been in the Huskies' best interests.

Must have missed something earlier and were cleaning it up.

 

[MilfordHusky]

40-22 in the second half. I would have liked two of those.

 

[JellyBean]

Yes!! Great game. But again, games like this is where the heart of a champion shows up, and we showed our championship mind-set. The Heart of a Champion.

Agreed, there were bad calls but did they all or almost all go BYU's way ?
If you answer yes, then you would sound like the Volnation board. EVERY call goes against the lady vols. Just not realistic.

 

[huskyharry]

I think it was good for the team to face some adversity and being forced to step up their game.
Go Huskies!

 

[Icebear]

Morrison should have been called for hooking Banks down by the wrist, too. It was risky in the way Banks went down hard.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I thought I had blacked out. Thanks for the reassurance.

 

[NutmegDog]

Stewie with the bloody athletic sock. We've seen that before somewhere.

 

[huskyharry]

Must have missed something earlier and were cleaning it up.

yes, I re-wound it and they had not credited Hamson's prior made FT.

 

[JellyBean]

Alright, fellow Husky fans and friends, I am out. Enjoy the day. Be safe and GO, Huskies!!!!!

 

[Icebear]

None the less they were bad calls and should be called. Sorry but I've been an official and the biggest fraud is trying to even up the fouls. It would have had an impact in the first half as numerous blocks by Hamson had her off hand on the body.

A few boneyarders believe we can win over ND without KML...Dream on. I'm telling you right now Stewie is good but she can make you cry with her unconscious shooting.
