UConn Rutgers AAC semi-final game thread

[UConnChapette]

In other action, Nebraska ahead of Iowa in the B1G championship game 34-26 at the half.

Second half under way. Only real question is what the final spread will be.

All of the starters have made threes. Who can defend that?

. I can't. It's totally inexcusable.

It's crazy how wide open Kaleena always seems to be. You'd think by now opposing teams would know that she shoots 3s. And then a second one from way downtown.

 

[sarals24]

Have they decided to guard everyone but Kaleena? So confused about this defensive strategy.

MoJeff and BGB are playing great defense on Scaife and Copper.

Clearly, so is Rutgers.

Moriah always plays like we're down 2. Love the energy.

Trouble with the first half...what do you do for an encore. Some of the edge gone here in 2nd.

Some of the edge gone from the Boneyarders, too. We're slowing down on the posts.

I wonder if Geno is just pulling back.

MoJeff set that up nicely with the fake stumble and turnover.

I love the way our guys hustle!

The closer the game, the more adrenaline running through the BYers veins, the faster the fingers type. This result of this game has not been in doubt since 3 minutes into the game. Not even the refs seem to be into the game.

Tomorrow will (probably) be different.

Maybe that should count as an assist.

Stewart with another 3. 13th 3 pointer for UConn. 70-36 10:20

No one has said anything about the announcing crew...I think they are doing a great job staying with the game action and not wandering off into long winded stories despite the large point differential.

They apparently think she's out with mono.

It's not as if she has a reputation as a shooter or anything. She only led the entire nation last year and made AA. She's been a great shooter since she was 14.

Refs appear to be working to the score - no foul shots for the team with the big lead.

 

[UConnChapette]

Big 10 championship is getting interesting. Iowa has pulled within 4 of the Huskers.

 

[MilfordHusky]

All our starters are in double-figures. All 5 past, current, and future All-Americans.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Tierney? Polly? What do you think? How soon?

 

[UConnChapette]

Love that stat - 22 assists! The very definition of an unselfish team.

 

[luckyhusky7]

Ok I just need us to score to 79 and RU stop scoring so I can win my scoring prediction

. Beth Mowins and Brooke Weisbrod have called UConn's conference tourneys on previous occasions with positive results. They're pros.
