Oh geez.... we're only winning the 2nd half 7-6

 

[Icebear]

Back to playing very sloppy.

Banks back in.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Banks back in.

 

[alexrgct]

Uconn making some TERRIBLE decisions right now.

 

[NutmegDog]

Tigers pretty well outplaying us this half. That doesn't happen too often.

 

[Icebear]

10-0 run for Memphis.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Five Minutes of sloppy play allows Memphis to go on a 12-0 Run.

Since the Exam break team has allowed teams to play them even for long stretches of time.

Memphis now winning 2nd half 13-7

Tuck needs to avoid getting so deep unless she is cutting back door or driving - her weak spot is that she doesn't have much elevation and if she doesn't have space she gets blocked too easily.

Her footwork is good, she just needs to remember to use it more often to create space when she is deep in traffic like that , not just go right up with it.

Funny things happen when BonnBonn is off the court.

Geno leaving Stewie on the bench for an extended "rest."

I think, in theory, Memphis' game plan is the best chance a team has to give UConn a run for it's money. Pack it in down low and hope UConn misses their 3's. Playing man to man vs UConn results in too many bad mismatches down low for the other team. The problem is, with KML in the lineup, I don't see that happening over the course of an entire game. Their greatest strength, outside of the best defense in WCBB, is their versatility on offense.
They score in every manner and with every player.

What was the offensive foul call on Morgan for? No follow up from the announcers

 

[Icebear]

Stewie in and Stef out.

The announced attendance is 6,783. The Memphis men's game that preceded #UConnwomen attracted 17,191

 

[Geno-ista]

Tuck not playing great yet- but she seams to be moving extremely well on offense and defense-

 

[VAMike23]

Nice pass Kiah !

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Pathetic...we appear unfamiliar with the hoop.

 

[rvwsleep]

Stokes with two great passes down low.

 

[Icebear]

Saniya says, "Not twice."

 

[NutmegDog]

Pathetic...we appear unfamiliar with the hoop.

I does seem like we miss a lot of chippies this season. Morgan Tuck just had an uncontested two-footer and she banged it hard off the glass. Seems to be happening a lot this season.

 

[VAMike23]

Banks looking out of sorts today

I don't know how you can talk about pressure on a freshman Jefferson without talking about Bria's freshman year.

Far more pressure on Bria that year. Not even close.

We could just sleepwalk to a 25+ win like the previous two games, but we can't afford to. I really hope we finish off the last eight minutes in style.
