UConn v. Tulsa — Game Thread

[HoopsFan21]

The starters played the first quarter.
Unless Tulsa ties the game which I don't think will happen, I'd like to see the reserves play the rest of the game. we already know what the starters can do. Let's see how the bench plays when they're a little tired.

I agree, especially KLS who has a bum ankle and eye.

I'm asking an innocent question.
Is Molly Bent a scholarship player or a walk-on?

I knew that fastbreak was going to end badly.

 

[HuskyNan]

Poor Geno -criticized for not playing the subs, then when he does, he’s criticized for playing his subs.

Geno, I feel your pain.

Scholly. She was recruited by most of the Ivy L.

So you think the starters for Tulsa are wondering if they just let the UConn reserves score a few more points they might keep UConn starters on the bench in the 3rd?

 

[GoUconn7961]

Scholly. She was recruited by most of the Ivy L.

Thank you. I wasn't certain.

Megan with a block

 

[ASweet3781]

Well Gordon isn't afraid to shoot. There's that.

 

[GoUconn7961]

I'm glad Geno is doing this. They really need to develop and this is the game to do it.

 

[HoopsFan21]

It's clear the game is just too fast as it usually is for freshman you see a lot of rushed stuff out of these guys

 

[GoUconn7961]

Hard to tell?

Yes, sorry.. I really didn't know.

 

[eebmg]

Will the microphone work at half time?

 

[HoopsFan21]

42-27 half

 

[ASweet3781]

LOL Geno.

 

[TitleTown]

That was tough to watch.

 

[oldude]

Geno not impressed with his bench

 

[HoopsFan21]

Will the microphone work at half time?

Yes. "Hey I'm just trying to get people playing time, you know? I guess we gotta find out at some point what we got and there's no better time than right now. These guys had a tough game Monday night and I thought this would be a great time to do that. Think we're going back with the starters in the 3rd quarter."

Well, maybe. He may be trolling us a bit, though. "You want 'em ? You got 'em!"

I wonder what the benchies themselves are thinking. There's a strange sort of pressure involved with putting them on the court in this way, with Geno clearly sending a message. I'd give them a C or C- for their performance as a unit in their only early game foray this season. Could be worse.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Oh boy...Geno not happy.

 

[Blueballer]

Geno doesn't sound too enthused about their performance.

It’s one of those, “Damn if you do, damn if you don’t.” Somehow we’ve become so judgmental of Geno. It’s like he didn’t know how to Coach all of a sudden per the board .

 

[Sluconn Husky]

16-16 quarter

That's with Stevens or Collier on the floor at all times.

 

[Carnac]

Good execution by the group. I would like to see them come out in the third quarter with the same group . The game is won. I'm really enjoying watching the bench play.

 

[BigBird]

15 point lead after one quarter, 15 point lead at the half. The subs weren’t great, but they held down the fort reasonably well. Geno says starters back in for the third quarter.
