UConn - Memphis game thread

How you can not score on five shots in a single offensive possession???

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice pass by Jefferson. Too bad they couldn't score.

 

[JellyBean]

Man both teams started shooting well. Now it is a cold spell.

Will Geno have them work to pound it down low? We're going to need to hone that side of it for when we're bricking 3s against tougher competition.

YIKES. More disjointed play by UCONN. up 1 point after the first 10 minutes? Hmm... Didn't Dolson have 25 the last game? 19 shots and she's gotten 2? I get "take what the defense gives you" but... maybe a few less shots by Hartley? Memphis must really be packing it in...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Shooting 31.6% currently, mostly from the arc.

Hard to do with Memphis packing in the zone. There is very little space for entry passes.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Thanks. I better get home, sounds like a good game

Not really "good," but surprisingly close.

 

[JellyBean]

Now we are getting it going. LetsLet's go, Huskies!

 

[Blue Huskie]

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.

Bingo!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

23-16, 9:20. That's better!

 

[Icebear]

Lead to eight.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

That's more like UConn basketball! Great transition plays ending in baskets.

 

[JellyBean]

Tuck!!

Two UCONN defenders completely faked out. Left their shorts on the floor and airborne. Memphis player quietly makes the lay up.

 

[alexrgct]

Uconn is doing a great job executing in transition now.

Good lord this is like watching a Rutgers game. MAKE SOME SHOTS.

 

[pap49cba]

Once they stopped jacking up 3's they built a lead....

That's what I thought. Amateur defense.

 

[MilfordHusky]

24-18, still shooting just 36%.

 

[JellyBean]

Gotta love seeing the UConn fans in Memphis. Awesome sight.

 

[Icebear]

OK, Stewie, make the FTs.

MoJet attack!

 

[alexrgct]

MoJeff is sooooooo good.
