[MilfordHusky]

Moriah for a trey.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Butler getting into it with ECU. Stewie steps in to break it up.

 

[Kaizen]

Moj 3 pts..

 

[MilfordHusky]

A little chippy tonight. Another double foul coming up??

 

[HoopsFan21]

Should be a flagrant 1 on Butler

 

[BigBird]

Talking heads now lecturing UConn about composure. Nat was getting pushed. She pushed back. TV: just shut up and go to commercial...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Geno wants them to be meaner. So Nat gets caught pushing.

 

[HoopsFan21]

No excuse for throwing a kid to the floor like that, come on Butler that's not the UConn way. Even Stewie jumped in to control her teammate.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Butler with the baseline jumper. 66-29 1:46 3rd

 

[Phillyconn]

Way to go Natalie, send them a message.

 

[MilfordHusky]

ECU could be short-handed in the 4th.

The Butler dit it. From the baseline,

Well, given that Geno left her on the floor, I don't think he's as offended by Butler's actions as you are.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Hey that EC kid was pissed that Nat was keeping her out of the lane and she wanted get one last bump in after the play. Nat was READY for her. UCONN will take the high road I'm sure.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Another TO by Gabby.

Who cares? You don't intentionally throw a kid to the floor. If it was your kid you'd be livid. That was a BS play and I will call it out even if it was one of our players.

She didn't "throw" her to the floor. The kid was going for a retaliation bump and Nat was stronger than she was.
I was watching Chris's reaction and she seemed to be sticking up for what Nat did.

 

[MilfordHusky]

24-10 in the 3rd. 66-31 overall.

Absolutely.....the play is over get outa my way.

Bad no-call by the refs, particularly with the game getting chippy. Gabby was bumped hard.

Though he might not say it directly, I bet he was thinking, "Nice passion there, Butler! ...just be a little less obvious with the foul next time."

I think Geno was fine with Nat's T. The other girl came into Nat 1st, Nat just pushed back and decked her.

It was 50% elbow, 50% Notre Dame flop...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Gabby has 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 fouls, and 4 TOs. Not her best game.

 

[MJL243]

Natalie Steffed her.
