UConn vs Italian All-Stars

[RockyMTblue2]

Bizarro's starting lineup for this fall - heh heh.

Good to see Lexi in uniform, finally. I wasn't able to watch much yet - did she play?

heh heh but you just called up the narcissistic self-in.....

Napheesa started. Stevens was first off bench for Gabby.

1st -

Collier with a nice turnaround jumper from the foul line

Stevens to Collier to KLS for the layup in transition.

Walker misses her first shot, a three from the corner.

Tough reverse layup by Irwin while getting bumped.

And there's where Collier gets hurt; came down on an Italian player's foot. Got off the floor pretty quick but needed a little bit of help from Nurse and Irwin.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Irwin and KLS with back-to-back threes shortly before the half.

Napheesa started. Stevens was first off bench for Gabby.

Yep, my bad there. Not exactly the closest camerawork or clearest resolution.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Big game for Irwin, rough shooting performance again for Walker.

The freshmen were 3-19 combined. They did have 19 rebounds between them.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nifty move inside by Camara for her only basket.

Dangefield makes a terrific bounce pass in transition for an uncontested layup attempt by Irwin but she misses it. Geno locks his hands behind his head and looks down.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Really nice short pass in traffic by Walker to get AEH a layup.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Any more info on Collier's injury?

And is there any place to see game-by-game statistics?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Irwin finished with 15 points on 6-8 shooting, 3-3 from three.

Collier seemed to be holding her leg up in this postgame photo.

Sure looked like a sprain.

Irwin finished with 15 points on 6-8 shooting, 3-3 from three.

This girl does know not only to lose weight but also to shot 3 pts.

The freshmen were 3-19 combined. They did have 19 rebounds between them.

How many among them scored? A big game for Kyla is huge---this is what I've been salivating for since April--Molly/Irwin/Danger/maybe Walker/Gordon/etc puting up stats that help the team.
I surely hope (and so does Shirley) that Erwin maintains that which is reported herein.
Until these sophs and Frosh, transfers prove to be useful in Big games--Geno still does not have a bench--Erwin's performance helps a lot.

How many among them scored?

Hunter had the layup on the good Walker assist, and Walker had 6 points on 2-10 shooting. The other two were scoreless.

Agreed. Maybe I can watch after a couple of evening pops.

Now that is a great shot. In these times we can't get enough of this.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question--nice answer. A layup doesn't see m like much but it's a break through for a new frosh--good sign.

 

[Kaizen]

Hunter had the layup on the good Walker assist, and Walker had 6 points on 2-10 shooting. The other two were scoreless.

Megan has 9 rebs (the most, Z has 8) and 2 asts, 6 pts. Not bad for a freshman.

Seems to me UConn may pose a few questions for opponents this year.

 

[UConnCat]

Looks like right ankle. Her shoe is off but in the photo (in front of Azura's feet).

This girl does know not only to lose weight but also to shot 3 pts.

She has all the tools. Just needs the head where it needs to be. The sophomore leap maybe? She's the most ambidextrous big girl I have ever seen.

On the video--which sometimes looked like a bowl of raisins and cranberries to my old eyes--it appears 'Pheesa ran into a scrum under the hoop and got tangled up. She rose limping and was helped off. For the rest, I think Lou tweaked her ankle at one point; I wonder if it's not still tender. Kia was amazing: she is the World's Biggest Pest on the court and about to have her greatest year at UConn. Crystal's 3 is still unreliable as was Mo's early in her career. Irwin got some results but still lacks quicks on D. Taken all in all, this team appears as if it will have its way with anyone it faces during the season--inside, outside, all around the court. Our chats this year will mostly focus on MOV.

I agree with you, Broadway. UConn has a bevy of skilled players who can score the basketball but if Irwin and BatCam (sounds like something Bruce Wayne would have) can contribute toughness in the paint, that's a dimension the Huskies didn't have (and could have used against Mississippi State) last season.
