UConn v. Tulsa — Game Thread

[Gus Mahler]

I have a theory. I think Geno was aware of the buzz about his short bench coming from reporters and fans. He played the reserves all at once to put an end to all of the arm chair coaching.

Clearly. He caved to the pressure.

I know this is TMI- but I'm in the throes of severe depression and an eating disorder and have to listen to arm chair therapists so I know what it's like..lol. At least I can still laugh..

Stay strong! Keeping you in my thoughts

Gabby must of wanted an assist or she was afraid she'd miss another layup

Thanks Nan - my love of everything UConn keeps me going...

Clearly. He caved to the pressure.

When you put it that way, clearly my theory has a major hole in it.

Collier and Z with special shoot around session with CD today

All the posters who are not impressed with Q2 remember KLS was not out there. Bet you could take 3 of the bench players teamed with KLS and Z and the result against Tulsa would be quite similar to the starters.

As they use to say in ice hockey Gretzky and 4 HS players could beat the Rangers.

Kia for 3!!! 51-29 6:41 3rd

Our bench is now known as the "even-numbered quarter starters."

 

[ASweet3781]

Rebounding not much better tonight.

 

[HoopsFan21]

UConn defenders leave their feet too much just to have the offensive player go around them wide open

 

[NutmegDog]

We over pass it at times. I get unselfish play and all, but take the lay up, Danger

KLS heading into the locker room to have her left foot/ankle looked at

 

[Blueballer]

That darn ankle again for KLS

 

[BigBird]

Lou’s foot hurt again...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Anybody want to shoot on the fast break?

 

[oldude]

Lou's foot again. Not good

So this game has already showed us 1) how far the bench has to go before it can be trusted in important moments, and 2) why it would be nice if at least one or two of them could be trusted in important moments (KLS's wear and tear).

 

[MilfordHusky]

ND is within 10, but Tenn is shooting 61%. They are tough to beat when they shoot like that.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier misses two more free throws. Nothing explains her regressed form on her shot.

It's either mental from the Miss St game or the dude she worked out with all summer.

 

[Charliebball]

Hate to say I told you so but as I suggested earlier KLS should have never returned to this meaningless game.................

Based on what I am reading here tonight, he was not successful at that. Too many armchairs I guess.

 

[Blueballer]

ND is within 10, but Tenn is shooting 61%. They a

L'Ville shot 65% against them. Are they hitting hot teams or is their "D" really bad now?

 

[GoUconn7961]

OK - I LOVE the Huskies - but we should be beating this team by 50, at least...
Again - disclaimer - my opinion.

 

[Blueballer]

I've noticed a lot less armchair coaching since I've made fore frequent use of the "ignore" feature - LOL Definitely a sanity saver.
