UConn-USF thread (somebody's gotta do it)

[pap49cba]

Watching the NC - NC St game during halftime. DeShields, who is very talented, literally, just walked toward her bench with her hands on her hips because she didn't get the ball when posting a smaller player down low. And did this while her team had the ball !!!!!! Unbelievable. Is there any doubt what would have happened if Geno was the coach ?

Not sure she would have lasted a month with Geno.

To be blunt. There will be times, more than most UConn fans would like to think about, when the absence of KML will be glaring.

Two things: Brianna Banks has not played yet. And USF is working very hard to keep the ball away from Breanna Stewart #UConnwomen

Stewie needs 4 more..

Fitting that they unveil the Final Four logo for 2015 at USF with UConn in town?

Bulls shooting 23%. Not going to stay close with that percentage.

Great defense as usual.

 

[Blue Huskie]

That foul was on Stewie?I thought they dragged her to the ground!

They certainly did!

The UNC-NC State game has been entertaining.

 

[pap49cba]

Stewie with 3 fouls

 

[huskeynut]

MoJef with another block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pinotbear]

great MoJet stuff!

 

[Blue Huskie]

Is there a more improved player anywhere in the country than Mo? Fantastic!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Feels like a Villanova game.

 

[VAMike23]

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

 

[pap49cba]

UConn has played only 6 players. No Banks as yet.

 

[rocky rococo]

The UNC-NC State game has been entertaining.

It sure has. That 3 off glass by Diamond while she was being faceguarded was almost Taurasian.

 

[Flyegirl]

Oh MoJeff, so good but so scarey! When she fell again I thought, OH NO!

 

[VAMike23]

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...

 

[EricLA]

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

 

[HoopsFan21]

Banks, Lawlor, and Pulido in for the final minute.

 

[psconn]

MoJeff is an all-american... that simple.

 

[ASweet3781]

Banks in with 2 to go? Hmmm...

Banks in with 2 to go? Hmmm...

Easing her back. No need to go crazy at this point. Her minutes will be way more important later in the season.

Seventh-grader shares UConn lead in rebounding. BonnBonn, get some space ready for her on the wall now.
