UConn v. Memphis — Game Thread

[oldude]

Love to see Gabby make that jumper

 

[HuskyNan]

Maybe it's my fault, rooting so hard for Pheese.

The effort is there

 

[JordyG]

Crystal shoots this time down the floor.

 

[JordyG]

They look a little sluggish.

 

[oldude]

When in doubt, call traveling

 

[BigBird]

Must defend the arc...

 

[connie]

Beautiful body control by Barnes.

 

[JordyG]

Lou verbal and demonstrative before the foul shots.

 

[HuskyNan]

The Huskies would be well-served to keep going at Memphis in the paint. They have no height and no depth. Foul trouble for the Tigers would be excellent

 

[BigBird]

Slow start. Kids need to just relax and play.

 

[JordyG]

Kia and Crystal haven't shot yet.

 

[bags27]

The rest of the world getting the score on ESPN box score will not believe 10-6! I've got to smile over this.

 

[oldude]

Kia = MONEY

 

[HuskyNan]

Kia and Crystal haven't shot yet.

You said?

 

[BigBird]

Starting to get with it...

 

[HuskyNan]

Slow start. Kids need to just relax and play.

UConn is always going to get opponents’ hardest punch at the start of each half

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Is it my imagination or does Pheesa look like a she is having trouble holding on to the ball, shooting bunnies, etc??

 

[hoopingcrane]

A little trouble getting started (no shoot around, early start?), but awake now. 13-10 at the first timeout.

 

[eebmg]

Defense starting to show with Kia leading the way.

 

[JordyG]

Gabby is still looking just a step slow and sluggish.

 

[oldude]

Ah, Beale Street! Blues & barbecue.

 

[connie]

Is it my imagination or does Pheesa look like a she is having trouble holding on bto the ball, shooting bunnies, etc??

Well . . . no. She's working hard, digging, just not getting the bounces. Don't sweat it. She is solid and on any night can go off for 20. Takes all five. She's doing her part. Already a couple of rebounds, nice score at the break, muscling up on defense. Just watch her in the lane when off the ball.

 

[Sonny44]

Buffering already, ugh.
Video slow motion!!!

Am I the only one?

 

[HuskyNan]

Crystal for threeee!

It’s 18-10 UConn at 3:06 of the first quarter

 

[JordyG]

Bad foul by Memphis on the Kia breakaway.
