Geno's seen enough. Starters back in. 5 for 5 swap. Mo, Tuck, Stewie, Ek, Gabby.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Gabby with a steal and 2!

 

[bags27]

great to shake things up this way. the kids were tired at Temple, and this makes everyone--players and coaches--to think differently.

 

[bags27]

Captain America? I love it!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice pass by Ekmark to Gabby for the basket 20-17

 

[bags27]

of course, yesterday, Geno was quoted as saying the line-up is pretty fixed at this point. And then today.....!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Ekmark for 3 with 2 seconds left, 25-19 end 1st

 

[bags27]

how good must it feel for Courtney and even Natalie to be in there before the games out of reach? to make points that really count!

 

[TitleTown]

Tuck has struggled bad the last couple of games.

 

[johnnyc]

Courtney is going to make her mark and be a solid contributor the rest of this season but more so next season.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The perimeter defense of the "starters" was a step slow.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think that Courtney will shoot well with enough opportunities and confidence. Being the go-to guy at the buzzer is a big plus.

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS in for Ekmark, Collier in for Tuck.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia in for Gabby 27-21 7:34 1st

Yep. Keep in mind they mostly played zone.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 30-21 6:34 2nd

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mo with a pull up jumper, 32-21 5:18 2nd, then Collier with a steal and a bucket. 34-21 5:10 2nd TO Cin

 

[TitleTown]

UConn's weakness has been exposed and their inability to consistently make 3 pt jump shots is a concern for the tournament..

 

[bags27]

11 minutes into the game and 9 Huskies have scored....

 

[HoopsFan21]

UConn shooting 48%, Cin 53%

 

[j66kicker]

UConn's weakness has been exposed and their inability to consistently make 3 pt jump shots is a concern for the tournament..

And yet we have beaten ND, SC, Maryland and Ohio State convincingly.

R-E-L-A-X!!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice effort by Collier tonight

 

[HoopsFan21]

Chong and Gabby in for Kia and Collier

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mo for 3!!! 40-23 2:25 2nd
