UConn v. Memphis — Game Thread

[Blueballer]

Geno saying it went well on the court for KLS. Also stating her injury is never going to be 100%.

You can see the confidence oozing from Napheesa today

Is that why the "sweat mop up people" are behind the baskets?

 

[Ozimoto]

At work so didn't see the game. The box score looks good though. Can't be upset with the score.

 

[JordyG]

During the postgame presser Geno said Lou will "Never be 100%". Again, this just confirms my suspicions.

Confess to not having watched closely (and with sound off, as usual). Gabby only played 16 minutes and only took 4 shots. Did anyone say why?

 

[eebmg]

Geno in the post game presser when asked the question about Crystal's Improvement.

"She has grown up an matured on and off the court but she is not even close to what she will be when she leaves"


I think he feels Crystal will be as good as MJ. It is great that Crystal has such a target to aim for.

Hasn't been 100% since high school.

Geno mentioned in post game that he's trying to give her some rest due to the injured hip

Michael Corleone on his suggestion that he kill Virgil Sollozzo - It's not personal Sonny. It's strictly business.

Crystal Dangerfield on playing great man-to-man defense - It's personal

When Geno recruited Crystal, he made her an offer she couldn't refuse.

3-point shooting for the season:

Kia .495, leads the nation

Crystal .487, second in the nation

And Lou is lurking somewhere out there.

Having sprained my ankle many times, they never return to the pre-sprained condition. The ligaments and other connective tissue gets stretched and the joint is never as "tight" or stable as it was. The affects are cumulative and repeated injury makes the joint even more vulnerable to repeat injuries.

Geno said her hip, so he tried to give her some rest.

And Lou is lurking somewhere out there.

After today, Lou is at .461, good for 10th, though she has missed too many games. She'll be in the official stats if she plays the next game (15/20 for 75%).

Thanks for the update. The thing about Lou is she can drop 8 to 10 3’s in a game without missing.

 

[CTrefugee]

Sometimes she looks like she is already at the point where she can put up 20 points a night playing an entire game.

Looks good, but we need to see her against SC and Louisville.

Having lived in Chicago during the Michael Jordan era, I'd say that's a nice compliment !!

 

[choochoo]

Congratulations UConn Huskies!! Glad to see Lou back. Crystal had a nice game in front of her family and friends. Megan didn't give up, and she ended the game with 10 points. UConn played clamped down defense, and the reserves added 36 points. UConn wins 93-56 .

Shorty I think you gave the opposition and extra 20 spot!

Gabby has a sore hip and they are limiting her playing time due to it.

There will probably be a thread, with the appropriate diagnosis, soon. Unless it has already been done.

The links below explains her injury, they called is psoas.
Gabby pushes aside the pain

The "MJ" eebmg referred to, was it #23 or Moriah Jefferson?

I was referring to the diagnosis by the BY posters/MDs...

Moriah of course.

The game is supposed to stream on ESPN3 but it's blacked out in SE CT

And to others who experienced the same problem . . .

Isn't this problem easily solved via a proxy server?
