Before some of you get going. There is no such thing as a moral victory in sports.

The Huskies played like the Ladyvols but Texas was not fooled. We were lucky to get a win.

This team will not win a NC playing only 6 players. One of those bench players needs to find a way out of the doghouse.

 

[DefenseBB]

Iron strengthens iron! Texas played out of their minds tonight. Happy for both team and can’t wait to see the pressers after the game.

 

[Carnac]

Crystal made the two biggest free throws of her career in the final seconds of 4th quarter, making it a two possession game.

Whew that was a gut check win. Got a lot to work on.

Texas I am impressed and proud. Great game for UConn to learn to dig deep and win.

You don't know that.

What a win but Jesus KLS eye is really bad.

No wonder she missed those foul shots, her eye looks swollen shut.

Really? It was a bad call.

Did Z do anything good tonight?

Yeah. She played on the winning team. But again, as Geno said, she played both ends of the floor really well.

Huge break at the end with that foul call—it put a bad shooter on the line and ended up preventing Texas from getting a shot to tie. Props to Dangerfield for closing it out and to UCONN for putting themselves in a situation with the lead at the end.

Geno says concerted effort will be made in next week to develop our bench. "We need them".

Music to my ears. 6 is not enough. Megan. Kyla. You're on the clock.

 

[Carnac]

Did UConn win or survive?

 

[GoUconn7961]

Great last few sentences from Geno about getting the bench to a point where they can come into the game to help this team out. They are MUCH needed.

 

[cohenzone]

Good win. We all know the downside. 6 players. One soph. No freshmen. Auriemma is actually talking about that right now. Seems like Batouly is just not ready. The kind of game where her size would help.

 

[Roger G]

Hoorah!

 

[Mdoggie]

Did UConn win or survive?

Win. You won't see an S in the column.

 

[BigBird]

Did Z do anything good tonight?

Boo. Hiss.

 

[bags27]

Geno incredibly proud of this team, to gut out a win on the road against a tough team when you're not playing great.

such a fabulous, wonderful game. Both teams covered with glory. loved every minute. great WCBB.

Danger... ice water!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Team got Punched and they survived a Tough Texas Team. Refs allowed their Physical play and there was some home cooking tonight. Stevens should not have been called for a foul on that inbound play, but it did eventually worked to teams favor as Texas player only made one Free Throw. Who knows without the foul, the game might have been tied. Suprised that Katie-Lou missed both free throws. Glad for her it didn't make a difference in the game.

Don't think anyone predicted a four point UConn win.

Did UConn win or survive?

They survived to win
