UCONN-St. Johns: Second half thread.

[MarieM]

worst loss in the last couple years,, but its alright theres plenty of games left

 

[UConnChapette]

Actually, it's 35-30 Texas Tech at the half.

Leave it to ESPN to not have it right.

You would have thought they would have guarded the 3 and let them take a chance on a two to go to OT. Oh well. What can you do? You can't win them all.

Didn't notice if we were in zone on the last possession - did anyone see? I can't replay , no DVR

The game was lost on the TOs and the failure to keep SJ off the offensive boards. All in all it was a fairly well called game.

 

[triaddukefan]

Im in shock, wow

Congrats to St. John's...they clearly wanted it more than us tonight. So many BAD turnovers, BAD decisions, errant passes...no explanation!

I can't imagine going zone under that circumstance and would be surprised if they did. But I didn't notice. Everyone should have had a player to face up.

You got to come out and play hard and smart and our women didn't bring it tonight. St. John's played probably their best game this season.

FINAL BOX

18 turnovers to 9. Pretty much did it right there. That and the offensive rebounds we gave up. We held them to 38% shooting which isn't bad.

why didn't they foul... would've preferred a 1 and 1

 

[Icebear]

Kim Barnes D'Arrico is one of the most underrated coaches in the country. Her kids always come ready to play.

Geno says he hates senior night and this is why. Way too many emotions involved. Good ones but still makes it hard to play.

I don't know about wanting it more, but they certainly played better in all facets than UConn did.

What happened to Caroline? Any word on why she didn't play much in the second half?

 

[semper]

So sorry for Tiff.

I was wondering the same thing.

I've never seen UConn lose on CPTV. It's much tougher to take after a loss.

well.. i think imma be off the boneyard for a couple days ..

I'm pretty sure some fans of other teams will come and pay a visit. Might be a good plan.

Nah. We don't eat our young here.

Besides, misery loves company

Don't go. We need one another, to rehash and regret.

as a lady vol fan, our season has been very humbling...we lost to 2 unranked teams with one of those at home...it happens. you have a great team. but try to rem this game when other teams lose too.

USUALLY someone for UConn has a big scoring night, but not tonight. USUALLY our defense will carry us to victory if the shooting is flat. An unUSUAL game. Props to St Johns, they outplayed us, out hustled us, and outrebounded us, and deserved to win.

 

[BrianUC]

St. Johns played a strong game tonight, a worthy opponent. We will become a better team after this loss.

She took a shot to the mouth in the first half. She had to put a mouth guard in which may mean she had a loose tooth. After she came out in the second half she never came back in.

Really tough loss. I feel especially bad for Tiffany.

Tough situation. Emotions of senior night. The streak. Possibly looking ahead to ND. Tough, well coached opponent.

Too many mistakes. TOs. Poor defense. Bad strategy. Missed FT. Still having trouble scoring in the clutch.

CRAP! Now I feel a little better.

 

[Icebear]

One good thing was the two great plays by Stef to get the ball and then to take the lead. She came through big after having a tough game.
