UConn vs Italian All-Stars

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

The freshmen were 3-19 combined. They did have 19 rebounds between them.
 
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.
 
Really nice short pass in traffic by Walker to get AEH a layup.
 
Collier seemed to be holding her leg up in this postgame photo.

Sure looked like a sprain.

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.

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

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.
 
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.

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.

Kyla Erwin has a few redeeming virtues : She's not afraid to score, inside or out--she has a bit of inside toughness and courage. If she can score on a credible basis, she will increase her PT. I'm not so sure what you meant by "needs the head where it needs to be"--so jump to a conclusion.
If she had learned anything from Geno during the year, understood his defense, and takes what the opponents give (Geno's basic basketball)--her head shall follow.
I would love to see Kyla, Molly, Danger and Walker hit the floor running and scoring--now that is likely with Danger and maybe with Walker. Geno needs them.

You had me totally confused with BatCam ---I thought she was Touly Camara--I get the BatCam--but it's new to me. I'm having trouble just with the REAL names of the newbies---I keep losing Makalya Coombs in the shuffle of the new 4--haven't placed a name with each face yet. My local girl making good--Walker--changes looks, and glasses just puts me further into confusion. With the Roster , that helps.

You noticed too. Someone send Kathy a copy of the best seller Weight Loss Italian Cuisine fast. We have a lot invested in Geno.

That was the book that Got Geno is reading in Italy---reading and doing ain't the same. Believe me.
