UConn v. Tulsa — Game Thread

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

True - maybe the letdown after that grind it out game in Texas?

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

I didn't even know that function existed until a few posters mentioned it...lol

Don't think we'll have predictions that will come close to tonight's score. The reserves have played too many minutes and I also think it has impacted the play of the starters. They don't seem to be as motivated as usual.

Not yet, but they were a 53-pt favorite.

What happened to our D. Now the whole team is defending like the subs.

 

[ASweet3781]

We cannot stop them defensively right now.

 

[Blueballer]

Nice quick layup Molly!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice pass by Collier to Bent cutting to the basket

 

[oldude]

Wakefield is having a very nice game

I wish Geno would put Megan or Mikayla in the game. Molly doesn't have the quickness or the instincts to keep up with any of the Tulsa players.

Tulsa winning the quarter against our starters.

Whoa, sometimes the old methods are the best.

Wakefield is just dominating Bent. Bent has no chance of guarding her!

UConn +7 taking out free throws.

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.

I dislike how Geno handled this "bench situation". What did Geno expect the product on the court to look like by putting four bench players in at the same time??!?! How is it going to look different than a blowout game in the 4th quarter.

Let me give some free advise. Mix in some bench players with the starters. Never have all five starters out there together dave the first 3-4 minutes of each quarter.

Another point- the crowd was completely dead!! Come on storrs!! Give the bench some love.

Geno is so RIGHT about that "My bad" comment. That is the excuse for everything for everyone...and not just in basketball.

ND within 5 of TN...

 

[TitleTown]

Samuelson still in the locker room is a little alarming,

KLS back on the bench with left foot and ankle wrapped in ice.

This was not a good move by Geno tonight. The starters have the same attitude on the floor that he does on the bench tonight. No sense of urgency or insistence they play UConn style of basketball.

Who is Geno playing too tonight? Is he trying to prove a point to the fans and the media why the reserves aren't getting enough minutes. Play the reserves that have the most individual skills to play against Elite Competition. IMO that's Megan and Mikayla.
