How can thqt not be a foul? The USF player clearly bumped/ pushed her.

Officiating is sub-standard.

No, Williams just abused Chong for a stretch.

That's a bummer. I was really hoping her defense had turned the corner - I thought she did a commendable job on Mitchell for SC.
 
Williams is hard for anyone to contain.

This game has gotten quite chippy. Stewart hasn't been manhandled like this since the Green Bay game and the USF post almost pulled Tuck's arm off after a missed shot.
 
Interesting. I wonder what Geno will make of the 2nd half - USF basically played UCONN even for the full 20 minutes. Not sure how much he went to the bench, but aside from Stanford, who else played UCONN that close for 20 minutes?

Don't be too hard on Chong, Williams did the same thing to Jefferson and Nurse. Williams is just a good player.

Chong started out bad tonight then had a stretch where she played well and then had a stretch where she really played bad and got exposed. I guess it was a case of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
 
That mop top that's been on Stewart is kind of a bush player. She just tried to bowl Stewie over going for the rebound that she really had no chance at. I think she's "Cheap shotting" Stewie in the guise of hustle. Total BS.

Don't think so. It was a block - therefore no shot - no rebound.

A block results in a missed shot (otherwise there is nothing to block). Every missed shot has to have a rebound - so if she caught a shot she blocked, she'd get a block and rebound both, all in one.

Great stats for her - 11 points and 9 assists? That's impressive! Maybe she should have guarded Williams!!

Seems obvious now that Gabby Williams isn't going to play against quality teams this year in the tourney. She's still barely seen the floor against the better teams this year.
 
UConn was not even in the bonus! As physical as USF played, the refs struggled to give them fewer than 7 fouls. Still USF made shots. They would beat ANY team not named UConn, on this night.

Surely it was not 1 on 5! No wonder USF went on a run! ;)

Not much - starters got a lot of minutes tonight

I doubt much of the bench sees action in the tourney with the exception of Stokes. Everyone else is too inconsistent still.

He can't be happy with the second half, but... UConn needed this type of game. Too many easy wins in the AAC. They will not get a better game from an opponent, IMHO. UConn is very good and I am not sure USF can repeat the performance away from home. All in all, give the team things to work on and keeps them more focused.

Not a great 2nd half for the team. They lost focus on both ends of the court. Definitely gives USF added confidence entering the AAC Post Season tournament. Won't beat UConn, but good preparation for the NCAA tournament.
 
Seems Uconn girls just wanted this game to be over while USF kept play hard. But as you can see nobody can stop our starting 5. We will be ready and play better for the AAC tournament
 
Nurse knocking them down in the last few minutes.

Someone should let Nurse know that the purpose of having KML remain in the game for a few more minutes is to get several more opportunities at the 3.

I like to see Kia shooting it. Needs to regain her touch in time for the post-season. I don't think KML needs much more practice at shooting 3s.

Kenny Kalina has told me not many schools recruited Courtney Williams. She could start for most teams in the country.

While it might be understandable since Kenny is from Florida, he does say HS players in Florida are overlooked by many schools.

I think Williams could play anywhere.
