UConn v. Tulsa — Game Thread

[HoopsFan21]

"Gabby hip flexor, Lou rolled her ankle, Crystal Dangerfield trying to give her a little rest her shins bothering her, so yeah we gotta lot of work for our athletic trainer. Take away from the game? I'd like to take away their uniforms." Then walks off.

 

[ASweet3781]

Crystal didnt play because of her shin per Geno.

Geno would like to take away their uniforms...a walk off interview! OH SNAP!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Players of the Game: Napheesa Collier and Azura Stevens!!!!!!!!

 

[NutmegDog]

Take away their unis.....love it, Geno.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Classic GENO!! When asked "What do you take away" He replied - "I'd like to take away their uniforms".

 

[oldude]

Molly was not better my friend

Agreed. Geno just advised Danger's shin splints bothering her. This is one beat up team

 

[Topsail]

Wow, take away their uniforms

 

[Blue Huskie]

So NOTRE DAME won huh? I guess Holly was coaching to lose in that one

 

[GoUconn7961]

I'll say it again, Geno is coaching to lose this game by his substitution pattern. Why isn't Crystal in the Game? Why has he play Molly and Kyla Irwin for so many minutes? Its obvious they have impacted how the starters have played in this game.

Perhaps he is "coaching lose this game" because they need to know they are not ready. Lessons by experienced teachers are lessons that need to be learned..

 

[Topsail]

Not surprised that he said that

 

[ConnFanInMich]

Well hopefully this will pay dividends somewhere down the line but wow that was painful.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Wow, take away their uniforms

Remember when the freshmen were not allowed in the locker room? Perhaps it's time for some tough love..

ND outscored the Lady Vols 34-10 in the 4th

Reserves were 1 - 13 tonight. I'll watch the threads, but I don't think I'll post anything about tonight's game. It's not to be remembered and don't want to say anything more about it.

 

[bschwartz]

After watching this game, I had two thoughts.

1. Good gracious I hope Stevens and Pheesa come back next year.

2. If there was an WNBA draft where you could only pick among current UConn players, team needs aside, I am taking Stevens first.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

Danger resting her shins, per Geno.....

That went on on too long. I was not a fan of that move.

 

[Husky fanatic]

Could prove to be a costly game. Hope Lou and Gabby recover quickly.

This is interesting. Coach is teaching lessons to a few players...some by playing them and some by not playing them.

Or . . . this is Geno's experiment to teach lessons to his team's unofficial coaches on the Boneyard.

LOL, the Boneyard is #25,683 on Genos list of priorities

You are so right Nan...lol

Oh common. I'm sure we're no higher than 18,000.

I don't think that he gives two s**ts about The Boneyard.

 

[JustinesGuy]

Where's Stewie?

 

[mysticmajor]

I think it was a good move even if it wasn’t as fun to watch. The team just finished road a toad trip with very physical play. Second, the bench now seed where they stand and what to work on.

 

[CTBballfan243]

As we have all suspected, this years UConn team is very very beatable. To me it is the defense that is struggling. If UConn goes the distance this year it will be with a 6 person rotation. Pray for good health and no fouls.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Napheesa with the post-game interview!

Very poised and supportive of the bench. Just have fun and relax and you will make less mistakes.
