Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4474686, member: 7171"] Fun game. The UConn student section was filled with kids from East Hartford Middle School and they got to cheer when Shailyn Pinkney from East Hartford hit a three. Nice moment. Caroline looked very good out there, best game of the season. She took an awkward fall late in the game and rubbed her left hip a bit, but was able to play on. Aubrey also took a nasty spill, foul on Cooks, early in the third and came out briefly but returned. Aaliyah is so solid and dependable now in everything she does. One big advantage today was transition baskets, our big players were able to run the court better than Seton Hall bigs and Nika always seems to find someone open in transition. Love that Nika hit those threes! Some nice takes to the hoop as well. The turnovers are baffling - many of them are soft passes in traffic with no chance of getting through, and many are to players who are not in position to do anything with the ball even if they were to catch it. Need to work on that, plus need to work on avoiding ticky tack fouls on drives to the hoop if the refs are going to call it that way. Caroline and Aubrey also need to work on not traveling when they make their first move to the hoop. But that is nitpicking - the overall effort was great, the outcome was great, and we are getting solid performances from a lot of players. When Azzi returns, it will look even better. [/QUOTE]
