UConn vs. Duke game thread

[UConnChapette]

Crowd getting back into it.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

wow is Duke this bad????? geez

No; just this nervous and intimidated.

 

[pinotbear]

Terrible out of control play by Bria for the TO and the Duke basket.

yup. lost her mind on that possession.

 

[Icebear]

If Duke looks this bad imagine how bad TN would look.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Good Start but Stef & Stewie need to do a better job on the defensive boards. Duke getting 2nd chance opportunities.

 

[easttexastrash]

There is probably one player in America that thinks she can go out and compete with UCONN.

 

[Icebear]

yup. lost her mind on that possession.

Geno will remind her at post op tape review.

Just remember, #UConnwomen led by 2 at home last year and won by 30.. Just sayin

UConn getting sloppy

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mosqueda-Lewis another 3

 

[UConnChapette]

KML doesn't look like she has lost a thing

 

[CCinCT]

UCONN is letting Duke back in with sloppy play

 

[Icebear]

No foul call on the collision with Hartley.

 

[UConnChapette]

Of course Doris likes the no call...jeez.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Here comes Duke. Only down 15, and they can pile up points quickly, so this is far from over.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Terrible end to the half there. This game should be over, 25+.

Half way there.

We can too.

 

[Icebear]

Standing around on offense the last 4:00.

 

[alexrgct]

Well, if you told me UConn would have a 15 point lead at halftime, I'd have taken it, but jeez, that was a crappy way to close out the first 20 minutes. Squandering a 23 point lead!

 

[Flyegirl]

Of course Doris likes the no call...jeez.

Yeah, she agrees with every call in Duke's favor. Even when Jefferson was pushed by Liston

 

[HuskyStars]

Of course Doris likes the no call...jeez.

I said the exact same thing after she said that!

The last 3 minutes of the half was some of the worse Basketball we've seen by this team this year. Yes, Duke upped their Defensive Intensity, but can't attempt some of the passes they made. Other then the last three minutes great 1st half of basketball. Could have been a 25 point lead instead of only 15.

Geno will have plenty to talk about during half time.

True but Duke is a really good team. You can't expect UCONN to demolish them for a full 40 minutes. The Stanford game was closer, and I realize they were without Kaleena or Morgan for MD or PSU, but those games were wins of under 20 points. I wouldn't be surprised to see a closer 2nd half and see UCONN win by about 20. I think Duke started getting their sea legs the last 8 minutes of the half. McCallie will focus on that in her halftime speech and I bet they come out on fire in the 2nd half (Duke). See how UCONN weathers that storm.

Any speculation why Chong did not take off her warmups?

That's a very good question. The rotation is a bit off in this game, both in terms of who's not really playing and who is but isn't being rotated in and out the way you might expect.

I doubt Geno wants to put in a Frosh. Remember, he has two extra people he wants to work in. I wouldn't think she plays unless it is blow out city.

 

[Icebear]

Lawson jumps in with the comportment.

Up 15 and the half............Watch what UCONN does the 1st 10 minutes of the 2nd half..............GO UCONN!!!
