UConn-Cincy game thread

[EricSD]

boy not at all what i expected. i don't care if it's Geno's former protoge. Cinci is 9-8 this year.

I would have called a foul on Bria on that layup attempt by Cinci......[body]

Really? Looked clean to me. Clearly, you're ready to ref women's bball.

21-15 at 12-min TO...Wow, I know Geno didn't want to cream Jamelle, but Jeez!

 

[pinotbear]

somebody forgot to tell Cincy that they couldn't stay with da Huskies. Good for them, and good for Jamelle.

Interesting goings on in the SEC:

LSU-Tennessee tied at 26 at the half
Georgia 36, Kentucky 32 at the half

The Blue Hens are a decent team, much improved over last year.

 

[ThisJustIn]

You know, KLM and steph's stat padding is reeeediculous!

 

[EricSD]

5 point lead with 7 minutes left? yikes. any idea waht's going on? is the team sleepwalking thru this game?

 

[alexrgct]

There you go, KML.

 

[VAMike23]

Tough to foul with your body with your arm straight out. Might have been about angles.

ummm I can only think it was a different play, because the body contact was easily visible on both angles--live and replay.

They could do that all night, I think. Just stand on either side of the rim and bounce the ball off the backboard to each other.

 

[EricSD]

and as i typed that the lead is up to 10 lol...

 

[VAMike23]

KML fighting underneath the hoop!!!!

And now a 3 [finally ]

Some sloppy play, bad shooting, Bria hasn't scored, Tiff a bit off so far, missing some bunnies as a team, etc.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Missing lay-ups left and right. Still, the energy level has been a lot better recently.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Not a good foul by ML...

Are you talking about the stuff that ended at the baseline?

Feel free to replay it when the archived feed is available and see what you say watching it over again

 

[alexrgct]

KML with another three now.

 

[VAMike23]

The one where they called a tie-up [I think]

 

[alexrgct]

Bria nails a three. UConn by 15 now.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Feel's like we're slow getting back on defense a couple of times

 

[alexrgct]

Our transition game is the best in the country, generally speaking. The downside is that we sometimes act like we can win a game with a single fastbreak basket, and we're over-eager as a result.

 

[Icebear]

The one where they called a tie-up [I think]

Yup. No body on that one. Once the block is established you don't call any body contact.

 

[alexrgct]

Little bit- there's a soft spot in the middle right now.

 

[VAMike23]

How many travels do we have this half.....?

 

[alexrgct]

UGA now up eight on UK.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Can't believe how often the defense is losing Hollins and letting her get wide open looks. I would think since it appears she's the only one on Cinc. that can score, they would stay with her.

 

[VAMike23]

Yup. No body on that one. Once the block is established you don't call any body contact.

Oh well, we disagree on one call - moving on

 

[VAMike23]

Nice job Kiah !!! Way to keep the ball high -- oops actually she brought it down a touch, but still a good play
