Not a chance in hades that wasn't going in.

 

[EricLA]

She's in now.

Woohoo! Never know how they practice leading up to games. she played so well when KML and Morgan were out... Love seeing her in the game...

47-23, a 2-fer.

Kaleena, Stewie, Bria all with 11 pts.

Went on a 24-5 Run to end the half. Memphis was competitive for awhile and then Superior talent started to take over the game.

 

[EricLA]

Side note - men's team looks like they are going down to SMU. Losses recently to Stanford, Houston and SMU - NOT a good showing by the men's side...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Shooting advantage now 53% to 42% in the usual direction.

 

[JellyBean]

Not bad. We started off pretty rough. But now we are in sync. Like coach said at the half, we wore the Tigers down now we just have to keep that tough defense going and go home.

 

[Icebear]

Easy to see Memphis flaws as the game continued. Once we started hitting 3s it was over. The tight early half was more about than them.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Bad foul on a rebound and maybe not getting involved on the offense. She'll play in the 2nd half. Game is out of hand.

#UConnwomen closed half on 15-0 run over final 4:07

The ladies seem a bit sluggish at times. Can't help wondering if a few of them aren't feeling well. There's an awful lot of colds and flu around lately.

Ladies!!!! Really??? I missed that memo.

That explains it. 23-12 rebounds, 10-7 assists in the first half. UConn basketball.

 

[Icebear]

Come on, Kara, there is no room inside to get the ball to Stef. Memphis has 2-3 in the paint with her. The Memphis zone is counting on stopping Stef and us missing 3s.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

KML 50% on 3's (4 of 8). Guess she's back!

 

[JellyBean]

I gotta see my girl, Stefanie, get more looks though. What? No love for the post players today? Just kidding. That is the beauty of our Huskies; we can hit you many ways.

 

[alexrgct]

Breanna is getting the points from the post today. Stef is playing nice D, but she hasn't had the opportunities on O she usually gets.

 

[johnnyc]

I'll still say what I said earlier, how did this Memphis team lose six games. Sure they're down 15 points, but they are playing well with good ball movement.

They might have lost some of those games because they looked passed them game planning for UConn.

 

[pap49cba]

Stupid ESPN3 cut away from G's interview. What did he have to say?

 

[Icebear]

It is too clogged and packed in on Stef in the post. Maybe in the second half as we are making 3s now.

 

[johnnyc]

Come on, Kara, there is no room inside to get the ball to Stef. Memphis has 2-3 in the paint with her. The Memphis zone is counting on stopping Stef and us missing 3s.

Exactly.....Stef scores 25 with a double double the previous game.....you don't think the coach is gonna prepare for that?

 

[pap49cba]

So does Geno call off the dogs or do we break 100?

 

[Geno-ista]

Bria H is really looking like a first team All American! She looks cool and confident- great defense and poise! Mo Jef playing great every game now!

 

[UConnChapette]

Home in time to see the second half....
