UConn-Duke- the game, the thread!

[VAMike23]

Other than Gray hitting long bombs, Duke has no offense with EW on the bench. None.

So far this is true.....

This is true, unfortunately. Not many passes inside, either.

We are playing UNC again. Duke is fairly talented, but not in our league and isn't very well coached. They can't stop us when we run...

So let's keep on runnin'

22-15 with 7:05 in the first half.

Duke has two good offensive players. They don't rebound well given their length. There is no excuse for UConn not to win this. Bria and KML are just not hitting from outside right now.

We need to make hay with EW out. Just like we needed to make hay with Achonwa and Peters out against Notre Dame. Will UConn be better at seizing those opportunities this time around?

 

[VAMike23]

Overall very pleased with the game flow, we're getting shots that we like to get from outside, as well as some penetration. But it's our D that is paying dividends, letting us get out in transition pretty well so far.

Really need someone to get a hot hand and make a couple outside shots. Kelly responds with a J !

Up 9

 

[alexrgct]

All right Kelly!

 

[alexrgct]

I thought that was off of UConn, honestly, but I'll take it.

 

[Icebear]

Three on Williams.

 

[huskeynut]

Williams just got her third foul.

 

[VAMike23]

Tiff fights for the O board, puts it back up, and gets fouled on the arm by EW !!! 3 on EW !!!

 

[alexrgct]

And that's three on EW! Good call too.

 

[Replicant]

Terrible decision by McCallie playing the frosh with 2 PFs. You knew Tiff of all players would make her pay!

 

[uconnbaseball]

We are badly outplaying them right now...missed free throws and wide open 3 pointers have allowed Duke to keep a pulse.

Williams' third foul looked like a clean block to me.

 

[VAMike23]

Kiah with a little attitude on that tie-up !!! More of that please!!

 

[alexrgct]

Bria is good for one silly travelling call a game. It's little stuff like that that she just needs to fix.

I thought so too but replay showed the contact and I believe it was a good call

 

[Icebear]

That traveling call on Bria is becoming Charde like in frequency.

Duke shooting 30%. No offense.

 

[alexrgct]

Pretty pass from Bria to Kiah

 

[ghostmutt]

Nice feed, Bria to Kiah! This game could be a big confidence builder for Kiah.

 

[Dairyair]

Bria to Kiah! Pretty!!!

 

[huskeynut]

Nice feed from Bria to Kiah

 

[VAMike23]

GREAT ball movement and then nicely fired entry pass from Bria down into Kiah, who converts for 2.

27-17 with 3:57 to go TV timeout

 

[alexrgct]

Duke shooting 30%. No offense.

None taken.

 

[huskeynut]

Kiah is playing well. Playing intimidator in the lane and getting good position in the low post

Yep- she's battling in there. Really been an asset tonight so far against a top five team.

 

[pap49cba]

We should be blowing these guys away.

 

[Replicant]

I sense the bolo punch comin'!
