UConn Rutgers AAC semi-final game thread

[UConnChapette]

You missed the best player in the country and the best shooter in the country.

Nah, I've been watching them all year.

Jefferson with another 3. 50-19 under a minute left.

Mo Jeff is feeling her shot

 

[UConnChapette]

Kiah's shot may have been blocked, but I LOVED seeing her take it aggressively to the basket!

 

[alexrgct]

The MoJeff three point shooting is a legitimate weapon now. How does uconn lose with that being the case???

I'd love seeing it, too. Oh, well. Replay.

Moriah is actually a good shooter. Now that her confidence has come around, she's shooting her norm.

All 5 starters had at least one 3 in the first half.

I have no answer to that. I still think injury, illness, or foul trouble is the only way we could lose.

All 5 starters had at least one 3 in the first half.

And, interestingly enough, none of the bench had any points. Other contributions, yes. Points, no.

Without a doubt, the best half #UConnwomen have played all season. #dominating

Wouldn't this be a great topic for a thread?

 

[MilfordHusky]

9-13 overall. Very nice!

 

[alexrgct]

Not sure if this hasn't been pointed out yet, but Breanna has now eclipsed 100 assists this season, joining Stef , Mo , and Bria in doing this.

Exactly. What are they gonna do, come out and belly up on BonnBonn? Oh, that would work out sooooooo well.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Good god there are so many basketball conferences. ESPN's halftime show is covering the men's tournaments.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Just saw the block by Stewie on the ESPN halftime show. You're right--where DID she come from?? You woulda thought UConn was behind by two.

 

[UConnChapette]

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

 

[UConnChapette]

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

 

[Samanthabrown3]

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

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

Here is video of the Breanna Stewart block for those who can't watch...

 

[HoopsFan21]

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.

 

[calpedaler]

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

 

[UConnChapette]

Clearly, so is Rutgers.

 

[sarals24]

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

 

[RockyMTblue2]

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.
