Monster block by Mo !!! And then thank God she didn't injure herself on that transition foul !! I was momentarily terrified when I saw her leg go under.

But I forgot Mo is like Tigger...made outta rubber :)
 
UConn has played only 6 players. No Banks as yet.

Oh MoJeff, so good but so scarey! When she fell again I thought, OH NO!
 
That's the second time the announcer has mentioned that Williams increased her vertical by 4" in the offseason...and now they said another USF player did as well. Reminds me of the news re: Derrick Rose in Chicago. Big increases in vertical leap through focused training.

Wonder what the training methods are? 4" is a huge delta.

Courtney Williams has a 35" vertical, they say. That's Armintie Price / Gabby Williams / Lorin Dixon territory. I think Mo has an excellent vertical but probably closer to 30". Just a guess.
 
What a lackluster 2nd half. But not surprising with almost no bench to speak of. UCONN up 23 at the 13 minute mark, and at the 4 minute mark, up 20. So USF outplayed them by 3 points over those 9 minutes. Not the UCONN team we are used to seeing...

Would love to see Mo Jett with a triple double. 12 points, 8 boards and 8 assists... Just nailed a 3 pointer!!

Nope - just USF playing tough defense all game in their home gym. Not atypical for games at USF. I thought it was interesting that they played straight up on everyone and only overplayed when the ball went inside. I was a little surprised how closely they covered Moriah off ball. Uconn was a little sloppy, but that was partly USF just being positionally strong. And with the short bench I think Geno was happy to run a fairly slow half court offense as well to chorine the game - when both teams are using that much of the shot clock, scoring is going to be light.

I just realized that 5' 7" tied for the team lead in rebounds.

Not bad.
 
While I think Geno started the talk with a quip, I would like to make a request of posters. Moriah Jefferson is a sophomore in college and an impressive young woman. She may be the shortest player on the court most days, and she is physically not very imposing - she is fairly average in height and weight for a woman. I find I have the same reaction to the continued reference to her being junior high or high school age that other posters had to someone calling Stewart 'goofy'. I think it shows a lack of respect. She is not a child but a young woman.
Sorry to be curmudgeony
And now back to our regularly scheduled programing.

Yes, only on a basketball or volleyball court can 5'7" be considered short for a woman.

Send Geno your post, he started calling Mo Jeff a seventh grader.
