Considering that I ran that very poll here on the BY, I really should consider a lawsuit against SNY for intellectual property theft.....

Good game, pretty fun to watch. I agree with most of the posts, the last two on the bench came in and did what I hope everyone expects: play well, play defense and move the ball on offense. I unfortunately still expect more from Amari but I am trying to not do that...she contributed in positive way and I am glad.
Hoping that when I look tomorrow evening, that the replay will be on the Fox Sports app.

I turned on the game in the 3rd Q, by which time it was more of a spirited scrimmage than a real game. Our bench crew looked pretty good. Q missed a FT to break the string of made FTs. The only miss of the game. I'm sure that her teammates will have let her know about it.

A most enjoyable game. Finally playing at Gampel. This far into the season to play at Gampel. Inexcusable!!
Defense - outstanding. Continual pressure the whole game, well almost. Nika shuts down Peoples. Love it. Everybody eats!!!! After DePaul's early scoring, it was all over. 6 points in 23 seconds and another 12 - 0 run to close out the quarter. By halftime the game was over.
Most important was the bench getting significant minutes in the second half. Ice is getting there as is Q. Ines and Amari did well.
Next up Marquette.

Just to be clear, this is not the 1st game at Gampel. I watched the Huskies dismantle MD at Gampel earlier this year. However, this was the first conference game at Gampel. I would like to see more games at Gampel, where the energy from the students is fantastic. But over the winter break, with no students on campus, UConn will draw much better in Hartford.

DePaul has fallen on hard times. They were terrible in just about every aspect.

Yea. I feel bad for Doug Bruno. The transfer portal and NIL are killing the Blue Demons.

Few Thoughts (long):
*Everybody Eats: every player who played contributed.
*A fun game to watch which was basically over by half time.
*DePaul is clearly not the team from years back. I would think that their best player (Peoples) would be maybe the 8th player in UConn's rotation (current active players).
*Paige: all world again. It is just a pure pleasure watching her do her thing. Offense with ridiculous efficiency, Defense with amazing anticipation and positioning, rebounding, passing. A complete (generational) basketball player!
*AE: unstoppable! DePaul tried containing her by trying to be physical with her and it did not work at all. She actually was fouled few more times that were not called.
*Ash: a real good game by her. Her 3-point accuracy was not there but everything else was nice! i love it that she started to drive to the basket more as when she gets to the free throw line it is automatic. 7 rebounds were really good. The only issue i had with her was shooting too early in the end of the 3rd quarter instead of holding the ball for 1 shot (which in this case because she shot too early, DePaul had an opportunity for a 3-point shot which they hit).
*Nika: her defensive job on Peoples was amazing! she took her completely out of the game. If I'm not mistaken, none of Peoples 8 points in this game, came when Nika was guarding her.
*KK: not a good game offensively but found the way to contribute in other areas (defense, rebounding, passing) which is exactly what you'd want from a player who feels it is not their day to score points.
*Ice: way too many turnovers. it was mentioned before that she needs to stop trying to dribble when she gets the ball close to the basket. Another thing is that she must learn to use the backboard when she shoots. Had some nice hustle plays but needs to play by moving her feet faster than react with her hands which causes her to foul a lot.
*Q: aside then shooting the ball from distance immediately upon entry to the game. had a decent game. she shows improvement on defense.
*Ines: the refs stole 2 points from her as there was nothing wrong with the layup which the refs decided was walking.
*Amari: now this is more of the Amari we want and need to see. Played under the basket and had some nice moves to score some points.
*FOG: Shade.
*Few things that didn't work well: what's up with the walking calls when KK or Ines start moving before dribbling. Way too many missed layups.
*Few thigs that work very well: suffocating defense, sharing the ball and the Free Throw shooting was unreal good.
*On to Marquette for a game that potentially can be challenging.

Geno on the sidelines said this huge thing: "I play her alot because I trust her." Referring to Ash.

What a wonderful game for OUR GIRLS!
They play with such a love for the game and each other!
Everyone had a big hand in this victory!
As mentioned DePaul is a shell of what a DePaul team from the past was! I feel terrible for Doug Bruno, one of the most knowledgeable and classiest coaches around!
Ines and Amari are showing they can hold their own with more minutes!
Really important games coming up, Marquette, ND and SoCar!
