I don't think they can shoot that we'll in the second half, but we need to play better D and get rebounds because I think they will make shots if they keep getting second looks. If I'm being honest kml is our problem on D. Really it's her getting beat then help has to come and they are an excellent passing team.
 
I'm a little frustrated with the shot selection of Morgan Tuck toward the end of the first half. She attempted a few really difficult shots where she had better options, with passing being a big one. She doesn't need to force shots. Hopefully we'll see a second half where we make better decisions, play a bit better defensively and Dayton stops shooting lights out from beyond the three.
 
I say put Kiah in and let Stewie covers Malot, Malot is the biggest thread that we need to take away.
 
Another problem is that we need KML on offense so I wouldn't take her out either.
 
Maybe Geno shouldn't have said Dayton reminds him of first National Championship team... Or maybe his first Final Four team... But damn, Dayton is on FIRE!!! They look, well, they look like a UConn team. Drats....

Time to get more aggressive on perimeter defense & bang down low on offense. Get the bigs in foul trouble!

I think KML has made a couple of nice defensive plays, like taking a charge but she doesn't have the quickness to keep up on the defensive end and that is a problem.

What game are you watching KML has been the best defender in the game so far.
 
How successful was Jabir at PC?

? kml has been quite good on D. She has at least two steals just by ripping the ball out of players hands. She's been fantastic tonight.
 
UConn getting outrebounded. Just need to reverse that

Damn I just hate the thought of KML break the record but Uconn lost the game. I need to a refresh.

Remember when so many here were lambasting Tennessee for playing even with Gonzaga on basically their home court...this is basically a home game for UConn and losing at the half. My point is, WCBB is getting better across the board, and just because a seed is lower doesn't mean they can't compete.

Also, I still think UConn will win by 20 or more. Would be shocked if it's less than that.

It's a full 40 minute game. Tennessee has squeaked out wins against many teams this year. Dayton would romp over Tennessee. And they are a much better team than Gonzaga or Pitt...
