UConn vs. Cincy Game Thread

I think DoggyDaddy called it Spam, or something worse.

DD is a master of understatement sometimes....

Too bad the sound got fixed on SNY. . . Now they're asking Meghan to read Geno's mind: "What's he thinking during this game?"

Well, bench is in and getting....minutes. Not sure how good they are, but they are minutes.

You see the difference in defense. Cincy hitting baskets and shooting threes.

Not that many, but they're hitting.

subs looked good for 3 or 4 possessions, not so great now

 

[Icebear]

58-23, under 8:00 subs playing zone and not being effective in general.

 

[UConnChapette]

Very nice take there by Morgan!

 

[redcee3]

Subs look pretty good, running offense, penetrating scoring

What are you smoking? The suns look absolutely HORRIBLE!!!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Well, folks, it ain't the Duke second half, but it's good practice for the underclassmen.

Hope their parents are watching.

 

[Icebear]

Nice Kiah to Breanna.

Kiah then follows up with a long 2.

 

[UConnChapette]

Where's Heather?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Where's Heather?

I was wondering that, too.

 

[Icebear]

65-29. 3:55 to go

 

[ChicagoGG]

Slaughter at 5th/3rd Arena. Not a good ring to it, but true....

 

[Icebear]

I was wondering that, too.

Me, three.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Good thing I like some of these commercials--State Farm FanCam, Pepsi Drew Brees and Harry. Others, well. . .

 

[Icebear]

Exactly what is a bearcat. Something from Dr. Morrow's Island?

Ah, it is another name for the lesser panda.

 

[ChicagoGG]

Me, three.

Me, four.

Good question. The answer's gotta be on Wikipedia somewhere. . .

 

[Icebear]

Found it, it is another name for the Lesser Panda or Bintorong.

Good question. The answer's gotta be on Wikipedia somewhere. . .

Not much else to do during this blowout...

Heather in.

What was illegal about Buck's screen?

 

[redcee3]

If this sub team played ND, they would lose by at least 40 points. That was just frighteningly bad.

Now we know why Geno doesn't play that combination against the top teams.

67-31 final

Well, I'd like to think the second half was because Geno did not want to embarrass Jamelle, because that was pretty ugly.

Oh well, on to the next one!

It isn't just the combination he put them in a zone which reduces turnover the opponent and open court baskets so it affects both D and O. Plus boredom factor is tough.

 

[huskyharry]

This is just sad. I feel bad for Jamelle. Her kids are completely outclassed by orders of magnitude at every position. They have no inside presence, and their shooting from the outside is mediocre. Their team speed isn't close to

very true and certainly not intended to denigrate Cincy but it is very sad to think that in the new Big East, Cincy may be one of the stronger opponents.

You do realize the next game is vs. Villanova, often the ugliest game of the year even WITH the starters in?
