UConn @ Cincy Game Thread

[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%

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

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie for 3!!! after a nifty pass by Mo

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS knocks down another shot, 45-23 1:10 2nd

 

[HoopsFan21]

Butler in for Chong, 45-23 :50 2nd

 

[MilfordHusky]

Moriah and Stewie look as if they've played together before.

 

[HoopsFan21]

45-25 half

 

[bags27]

Butler in for Chong, 45-23 :50 2nd

that's a phrase you don't hear often!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno at half about his new starting lineup and what they learned: well they learned they can't guard anybody, we talked all week about giving them opportunities to play instead of bringing them in when we're up 30, they didn't do a bad job

Shooting the 3 too quickly. Need to move the ball and get the shooter open. Whne the 3 is in the flow of the offense, its going in.
