UConn v. Memphis — Game Thread

[oldude]

UConn defense denying everything

 

[HuskyNan]

Meg in for Napheesa

 

[connie]

Phees with 5 RB already. Twice Gabby led her too much inside.

 

[BigBird]

Megatron on the job now...

 

[HuskyNan]

Lou for threeee!

It’s 24 to 10

 

[GoUconn7961]

Quit.

Sure - I'll start a GoFund me account to pay my bills and finish saving for my retirement..lol

 

[JordyG]

Silly touch foul on Meg.

 

[vtcwbuff]

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

Or not.

 

[oldude]

Nice 3 by Lou, but I'd rather she not go diving into the announcers table

 

[HuskyNan]

The post entry passing needs more practice

 

[formerlurker]

Sorry if already discussed but why the day game?

Sounds like a plan. You'll be home in time for the 2nd quarter.

 

[HuskyNan]

Sorry if already discussed but why the day game?

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

 

[JordyG]

Sorry if already discussed but why the day game?

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

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.

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

Try an american right. The 2 hour lunch.

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]

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.

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
