UConn v. Memphis — Game Thread

[eebmg]

So bummed I'm at work and missing this... grrr

Try an american right. The 2 hour lunch.

If Napheesa continues to have problems, hope Geno gives Megan a shot. She should be able to have a game similar to Temple with the lack of size on Memphis.

Megan is in. It is up to her to make her mark.

 

[JordyG]

Yep, speed and forcing them to foul is the game plan, IMO

And also as you've said previously, dump it inside to size.

 

[BigBird]

Not a great quarter, but not terrible. Turnovers a problem, but this can be fixed; they aren’t really being forced.

Meg is in now. But I disagree Napheesa is having problem.

 

[JordyG]

Try an american right. The 2 hour lunch.

Or the other American right: Job action.

That Meg came in with 1:30 left in the 1st Q suggests that she's back in that more aggressive rotation again: 1st time, IIRC, that she's getting that playing time since she missed a couple of games with the flu.

 

[JordyG]

Still looking for the 2nd foul on Kia.

 

[JordyG]

Meg's had the looks.

The post entry passing needs more practice

Yes, and partly the reason Pheesa is having a tougher time under the basket. As well as AZ.

 

[HuskyNan]

For those not watching, it’s 26-10, no scoring so far this quarter

 

[hoopingcrane]

26-10 after Q1. Bermuda Triangle 3 feet from left side of basket- 3,4 balls slipping off UConn hands 2,3 shots short on front rim. Must be a strong gravitational anomaly.

 

[HuskyNan]

Z ends the UConn scoring drought

 

[BigBird]

Our Ms. Danger can drop a dime!

 

[HuskyNan]

Z is definitely affecting the Memphis offense inside.

32-12

 

[housekeys]

Surprised Memphis is trying to run with UConn, given they are shorthanded.

 

[JordyG]

Pheese has started to flatten out her shots. As long as they go in baby.

 

[HuskyNan]

Uh-oh, UConn forcing a full court game. Memphis is toast

36-12

 

[oldude]

Crystal showing off for friends and family

 

[BigBird]

Huskies warming to the task. 36-12 @ 6:15 2nd.

 

[Bama fan]

Not surprised Gabby is sitting. This could be a migraine day.

Or a hip day?

 

[formerlurker]

About 1,000 students were bussed in for the game, young kids, not college kids

Thank you! And LOL to Jordy's response.

 

[hoopingcrane]

Great pass by Crystal, Lou scores, Pheese scores, Crystal with pull up, 36-12, timeout.

 

[HuskyNan]

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

And to make everyone who is not on the east coast, meaning most of the population, p***ed off.

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