UConn - BYU Game Thread

[Icebear]

Their 3's are killing us!

Geno has moved us to Man D. We were way over shifting in the defensive rotation.

Now Peck is officiating.

Along with her BYU cheerleader job, she's busy.

Uconn will do fine in the second half. It won't be close.

 

[Tonyc]

Relax we cant keep missing shots like this. BYU is playing terrific defense and knocking down everything and we cant make a thing. That will change. Stay calm.

This is a BYU team that's lost to San Diego, St Mary's, and UPac.

 

[Suebird10fan]

. I certainly hope so. This feels for all the world like St Johns 2012.

This UConn team is a lot better than that UConn team.

 

[AnotherVolFan]

That's like the 6th Connecticut foul on BYU that the refs have missed....Theyr're obviously trying to keep UCONN in it! Smh

 

[prebivalka]

Those flukey threes won't be falling in the 2nd half. Mark my words guys.

 

[Icebear]

Hamson, slim frame? She is really solid.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Those flukey threes won't be falling in the 2nd half. Mark my words guys.

We also struggled to defend the 3 against St. Joe's in the first half. It got better in the second half, but not an encouraging trend and not something I'd necessarily describe as "fluky" at this point.

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. I see what you guys were saying about the announcers and their bias. They are talking about a moving screen but it was clearly a hand checking call

 

[UConnCat]

This game shows how dependent our offense is on outside shooting. We don't have a reliable way to get easy points in the paint.

That's not accurate. The problem today is a 6-7 kid in the paint.

Thank you for interest in UConn women's basketball.

BYU playing with a lot of poise, one possession at a time. They are making their shots. They are holding Stewie back (0-for-6). #uconnwomen

 

[JellyBean]

Stewie has to keep the confidence that the next will fall.

 

[sawxfan23]

Stewie needs to wake up! You want to be the best player in the country you need to play like it.

Well, so far Stewie is MIA as is Bria. Stunned that the team is not better prepared for this game. Oh well. Survive and advance! Hopefully we play better in the 2nd half...

 

[BigBird]

"...in plenty of time..." Seriously?

 

[Suebird10fan]

This is a character game. Can't let it come down to the final shot!

OMG, please, this is not going to come down to the final shot.

 

[HGN]

BYU playing some good defense.

 

[JellyBean]

There you go, Stewie..but we gotta make those free throws

 

[VAMike23]

"Plenty of time" may be the most blatantly stupid thing Peck has ever said on the air

 

[Vowelguy]

Stewie aggressive!

 

[huskeynut]

Finally Stewie inside and a foul on Hamson!

 

[NutmegDog]

Stewie has to keep the confidence that the next will fall.

She lost that confidence for a while during the middle of her freshman year, but I'm pretty sure she'll keep hoisting them up today.
