Incredibly heady play by Tuck!

People have joked about backing away when they're getting backed down hard, but I've never seen anyone actually do it.

Well we might hit that 29 point average winning margin yet.

Kaleena buries her fourth 3FG and is only four shy of surpassing @DianaTaurasi for the school record.

Stewart hasn't played like an AA in any of the three tough games on the schedule thus far.

Her defense has been pretty darned good, IMHO. Your mileage may vary.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

This is her first year as the main "go to" player and she certainly has struggled in that role in big games so far.

She misses Dolson move than I would've thought. Has she scored on any high pass from the perimeter this year?

What do you mean? For those of us who can't see the game...

Williams more effective when guarded by Tuck - when Stokes is in, Kiah seems to force EW just outside her "comfort" zone, and her shots come up short. After that happens a couple of times, EW seems to think "pass first, shoot second". Long history between Stokes and EW, with Stokes doing a nice job in the past.

I think all the hype was not good for Stewie. She is basically not one to thrive in the midst of so much over the toppedness.

Stef's purple hair and little wrist tattoo would have given Geno a heart attack last year

I LOVE LAWLOR in the game with 2 minutes- take that duke !!! Our walkons in there for the end of the Duke series. how appropriate. BYE BYE DUKIES.

I gladly eat humble pie for scolding those who loudly predicted a blowout.

One of the greatest defensive efforts I have seen by a UConn team. LOVE IT !!​

 

[MilfordHusky]

All the starters are in double-figures (11+).

 

[pinotbear]

Gabby in, quick hoop and 1!

 

[sarals24]

Gabby is so freaking athletic.

 

[HoopsFan21]

TLaw in now!

 

[semper]

What's the score?

 

[BigBird]

Man, the Huskies are really contesting passes in the second half!

 

[pinotbear]

80-51

 

[easttexastrash]

What do you mean? For those of us who can't see the game...

Williams loses all offensive skills the moment Stokes hits the floor because she is worried about getting her shot blocked, and with good reason, I guess.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stokes with a 3!!! 83-51

 

[pinotbear]

STOKES FOR THREE!

 

[semper]

That's amazing!

 

[sarals24]

KIAH!!!!!!!!!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

What are they chanting?

 

[HoopsFan21]

83-52 final

 

[sarals24]

So we beat our 29-point average margin of victory by 2! We were ahead by 7 at the half and won by 31. That's insane.

 

[BigBird]

83-51 five seconds left

Please tell me there are a lot more than 9 teams better than Duke

 

[Gurleyman]

What are they chanting?

Probably "we want wings" - as the men found out against CCSU, 82 points means free wings (they held the ball out with 81 points and didn't shoot - got some funny booing). The applause for Stokes' 3 was enormous since it made 83.

 

[Icebear]

So tell me how SoCar after their game and 1 point win vs Duke is #1 in contrast to UCONN's traditional dismantling of Duke.

 

[Intpseeker]

Not pretty at times, but it was still a 31 point victory over a top 10 team. What happens when they click...and they will click.
