UConn v. Memphis — Game Thread

[JordyG]

Memphis' TO was necessary. They were starting to drag and quick shooting because they were gassed.

 

[eebmg]

Meg's had the looks.

Her shots were open good looks and they were 1/2 down. I think she is doing ok but defense is still an issue. Crystal stellar in front of family and friends

 

[JordyG]

There are people that don't live on the east coast? Is it still considered part of America?

Careful. You'll give rise to the "East coast bias" pundits.

Does Buick know Christmas was over a month ago? This commercial is

If it were up to these companies it would be Christmas season for 50 weeks of the year. The other 2 weeks would be "Black Friday's".

Wondering if this on and off play is driving Geno nuts. ;-)

Crystal the pickpocket

42-12 UConn. Memphis has 2 points this quarter

 

[JordyG]

That was a long sit for Gabby.

Nice rebound and drive by Lou, no sign of injury affecting her, UConn up 30, 42-12.

 

[HuskyNan]

Gabby definitely moving gingerly

 

[BigBird]

Was that a euro-step by Danger?

 

[JordyG]

I'm starting to feel really sorry for Memphis. Hopefully Team 2 will see lots of time today.

Gabby definitely moving gingerly

I think sitting her for the 2nd half would be appropriate.

 

[HuskyNan]

Gutsy play by Elmore, going at Z. Good for her

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

 

[HuskyNan]

Half time score 48-17

 

[BigBird]

Half: 48-17

 

[BigBird]

Geno: “our defense has been good.”

 

[connie]

Gabby definitely moving gingerly

Very.

 

[HuskyNan]

Geno says defense since halfway thru first quarter has been great. He said “we’re making a lot of good decisions”.

 

[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.
