UConn v Louisville Game Thread

Geno has got to blow a head gasket in one of these games to send the refs a strong message. He used to get T'd up all of the time and now he never does.

He noted the other night on the Geno Show that it has been a long time since he got a T or really went off on the officials.


25 pages, this is one long thread.

The entire Lville teamed fouled out in the 1st half....including Walz

Interesting the way Louisville barely got called for their foul behavior, and UConn got called in the second half for almost every play.

Yeah, but sometimes that's what's needed. Some of these refs are hopeless.

Good Point. He should do it before the post season!

This "crew" is repeatedly bad under Dee's lack of or misguided direction.

Tough and gutty win under very difficult conditions. The gals showed some true grit tonight. Got a real bad taste in my mouth for this L'Ville team and Walz. They're now officially in my former Rutgers/Cuse thouse!

I have classified He and 'cuse in the same boat for several years.

I agree. He needs to show the officials and his players that he is sticking up for his team and that the mauling they received is not accepted

Like I said, that was the way Griner was played her entire freshman year, but it was just considered "getting physical" with her. This type of play cannot be tolerated. This is a dirty gameplan and no way to play the game.

I have always respected Geno for teaching his players to play the game. I have NEVER seen him instruct his team to go out and push and shove the opponent to see how much they can get away with. That is what it seems that Walz had told his team tonight. I have to say I lost a little respect for him. This is EXACTLY what Curry instructed her team to do the night of "the punch." I lost respect for her as well after that game.

Walz has done this before.

CD not sounding happy at all. Said LV played extremely physical ala Georgetown knowing the refs can't call a foul every trip. Thought the kids quit running their sets and settled for quick shots because LV was knocking them off their cuts and screens. Same team that got up 20 in the 1st half stopped running their offense in the 2nd half because LV got even more physical & then they got into foul trouble. Uconn didn't answer the challenge.

Happy to get out of Dodge.

Geno with a kind handshake and soft pat on the head for Walz. No outward ill will there.

I didn't understand that at all. If they meet in the BE tourney they "have" to come out with fire in their eyes...if they don't, other teams will see that the only way to have a chance against Uconn is to bully them. And, as we saw tonight, it almost worked.

Looked like Stefanie wanted to do a little punching at one point. I'm glad Debbie Antonelli criticized the incredibly rough play. As I said after the ND game, it looked more like a boxing match than a basketball game and Geno felt the need to say something about it at half time. But although the Huskies came out ahead, this style of play by their opponents definitely shakes them up.

I think this game actually will put some fire into Dolson.

He's the Olympic coach. He has behaved with great decorum since being named head coach of the National Team. I don't know if it's expected of him or something he took upon himself.

I'll be rewatching the 12:30AM tape in the morning because I saw more to be happy with than CD. The kids never stopped moving. If they had specific offensive goals they weren't executing like entry to Stef in certain locations then that may be but I felt they took the ball into the clock and took decent shots although couldn't buy a basket other than Caroline. We were sloppy with the ball and did not take care of the rock but a couple of calls from the officials could have helped that.
 
don't get kiah only playing 12 minutes. she was very effective while in there( 6 rebounds), as she has been lately. stef was excited and a bit out of control( 6 turnovers), perhaps from getting whacked. kiah has shown that she can play, and has earned the floor time. and stef could have used some cool-down time. i don't get it. perhaps geno was excited and a bit out of control ,too. thank heavens for caroline.
 
Remember one thing. Waltz was the asst coach in charge of recruiting under Brenda when UConn lost Coleman Langhorne Doran and Laura Harper. They all went to Maryland when Maryland was unknown.

I agree, Nan, I think that is exactly what has happened ever since he was the president of the WBCA and now Olympic coach.
