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

 

[iri10]

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.

 

[NutmegDog]

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

 

[BigBird]

Leading by one! Seems semi-miraculous.

 

[ochoopsfan]

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.

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

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

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.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Collier looks like her feet are in mud. She looks slow and just out of it.

Azura has been good on offense, defense sorta ok

 

[DallasBUFan]

When does the UConn team we all expected this year appear?

I think they are coming back to the real UConn team.... I have feeling 2nd half may be a different story.

 

[Centerstream]

Please don’t blame the refs for this game. The refs have been fine.

Not a rule -a request as a fellow fan.

I only said that because the ESPN announcers mentioned it as we went into the timeout. I agree that the refs are doing fine.

 

[Carnac]

So far Charlier Collier has not been disappointed.

Who??

 

[eebmg]

I think Z needs to play more. We can use her post offense and she has to be able to do a better rebounding job than what we did in the first half.

 

[DefenseBB]

They missed at the end of the 1sr..

 

[easttexastrash]

Interesting that neither Boithe nor Walker have gotten any PT.

Collier looks like her feet are in mud. She looks slow and just out of it.

Sadly when she's out of it, she's really out of it. Don't get it.

WOW - we stole one!

We haven't stolen ss*** yet.

Need to come out after halftime and punch them in the mouth. If we can build a 6-8 point lead by the under-5 timeout, we'll be in good shape.
