UConn-Texas Game Thread

[Sluconn Husky]

First hustle-play win all night right there.

39-38 half

 

[HuskyNan]

Ok, ok, much better there at the end.

How is that UConn hits a basket at the buzzer of every single quarter?

 

[JordyG]

Texas looked tired at the end of the 2nd.

 

[huskeynut]

WOW - we stole one!

New BY rule?

Bad play is bad play and a bad call (or no call) should be fair game.

 

[CMC'72]

So what's the problem??? We got this.

 

[Dove]

Hey...where'd that lead go?!?!?

lol

If you can't do it the finesse way, do it the elbow grease way. Nice surge by the Huskies at the end of the quarter there.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno says if they can't rebound, they're not going to win.

Dangerfield, Dangerfield, Dangerfield. Texas just played the half of their season, and end down 1.

 

[BigBird]

Leading by one! Seems semi-miraculous.

Baskets in the Paint at the Half
UConn 4 + 4 =8
Texas 3 + 5 =8

As of today this is the most important game of the year, regardless of the final score.

 

[Blue Huskie]

That was a nice battle back job! Texas really has a great gameplan and they are executing it very well. Unfortunately we have been cooperating with that a lot.

They practice that. Seriously. They practice last second, need a bucket to win scenarios.

We stole a 1/2. If we cant rebound, we will not win.

 

[easttexastrash]

McCarty can’t keep going under the screen, giving Dangerfield the open shot.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Geno says if they can't rebound, they're not going to win.

Well, that's one major issue though not the only one.

 

[Carnac]

Was that last basket collier's first points of the game?

 

[eebmg]

Basically, Crystal, Lou and to a lesser extent Kia are embracing this game.

 

[Carnac]

Well, that's one major issue though not the only one.

Yukon is allowing way too many offense of rebounds for Texas

 

[huskeynut]

We stole a 1/2. If we cant rebound, we will not win.

I was referring to the last bucket.

Respectfully I think that is confirmation bias on your part. The stereotypical UConn moment for years now has been Geno calling a time out just before halftime, drawing up a play, and seeing everything go terribly wrong.

Then again, he didn't call a time out this time. Maybe that's the secret to final play success.

#1 Alecia Sutton is doing a heck of a job against Lou.
