UConn v. Memphis — Game Thread

[oldude]

Solid 1st half. Shooting was a little off, which seems to happen whenever there's no morning shootaround like today

 

[housekeys]

Noticing a lot of entry passes are rushed and this causes a lot of the problems inside. Players are off balance trying to corral the ball and either turn it over or misfire from close in. The better the pass, the better the shot opportunity.

I know Gabby's hip is sore, but has there been a definitive diagnosis of the problem?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ah, Beale Street! Blues & barbecue.

And beer!

Napheesa doing a lot of little things that won’t show in the box score

On top of 6-12 for 13 points, 11 RBs, a block, steal and assist. Hasn't gotten the bounce on a couple shots. And was in position to score on at least two plays where the ball was not quite within reach and went out of bounds.

And her hands are everywhere.

Lou is tough as nails. She looks even faster today and is jumping around like a maniac.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The next real game is against SC. They play Tulane on Saturday.

The same Tulane that took us to the wire last season?

And beer!

How could I leave that out?

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

You know what sucks about SNY games only on ESPN3? Having to endure this lame ACC coaches round table at half time. Notice the top coaches aren’t included, only the doormat programs!

no reason for her playing today.............saving her for South Carolina would have been the wise move...........same with Gabby..........what's the point of playing injured players in a meaningless game UConn has no chance of losing.............

Hi, gang! Sorry, I was out getting a haircut, being unaware of the new game time when I scheduled it.

I saw 6 minutes and thought we looked pretty good, though we could shoot better.

 

[HuskyNan]

The juniors (Napheesa and Lou) leading the way. The seniors (Kia and Gabby) are probably the happiest people with that news

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crystal looks really good. I'm happy for her and her family.

Meg is getting PT, but the shot is not dropping. Keep playing hard!

As a fan, I'm happy that the high scorers are coming back next year.

Doctor Bone Yard is requesting an MRI, and then will release the diagnosis.

 

[HuskyNan]

You can see the confidence oozing from Napheesa today

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

If Collier added a baby hook she'd up her scoring by 4 points a game.

 

[HuskyNan]

Score is 56-19. Lou and Pheese owning this quarter so fa

 

[MilfordHusky]

Damn, I've lost the feed.

 

[HuskyNan]

Time to sit the walking wounded, Coach

It’s 59-20

And after watching that crap again for the umpteenth time this season, ESPN feed went dead about a minute into second half.

 

[HuskyNan]

Geno heard me. Z in for Gabby

 

[JordyG]

Poor Gabby.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm loving me some Crystal Dangerfield.

 

[JordyG]

Pheese almost shot her first 3 in 3 games. Except for the 3 sec violation.

 

[MilfordHusky]

More nice defense by Crystal!

 

[Bama fan]

Geno heard me. Z in for Gabby

I think you have a direct line to HCGA!

 

[HuskyNan]

Score is 61-20. Memphis has scored 10 points in the last 16 minutes
