UConn - BYU Game Thread

[alexrgct]

No it won't. We'll win by 20+. We should win by 40, not sure that will happen.

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

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I'll settle for getting out of this game alive. We have not faced this in a while - common and respond girls!

 

[Hongster]

KML needs to take it over! GO UCONN!!!!

 

[Icebear]

Fans didn't want a push off they wanted a travel on KML for dragging her foot. She was trying to dump the ball and realized it might be backcourt.

 

[SHS72]

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

 

[UConnCat]

BYU abusing KML on defense. She needs to start scoring at least.

 

[Tenspro2002]

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.

 

[HGN]

This is getting a little nerve wrecking.

 

[semper]

Um, as I can't see anything, why is this happening?

 

[UConn990411]

BYU's shots will stop falling, and UConn's will start to.

Breathe, everyone.

 

[Icebear]

Their 3's are killing us!

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

 

[Rayvin56]

Now Peck is officiating.

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

 

[ballhawk]

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.

 

[alexrgct]

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

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]

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]

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

 

[HGN]

BYU playing some good defense.
