I hope that this is the last game that Joe Vaszily calls this season for UConn. He is one of the worst refs I've ever seen. Only one that is worse I think she finally retired.
Totally agree, KK is turning down too many shots. She needs a jump shot like Shade has and develop along with more deceptiveness by not dribbling straight ahead into an opponent. Love her passing but 8-10 shots a game would balance the scoring load. This would make everybody effective. Her four shots in this game are not enough IMO.One advantage of being a 3 seed is having a first game against a competitive team. JSU wasn't talented enough to push UConn very much but good enough to make us work up a sweat. It makes the team a little sharper going into game 2.
KK really needs to shoot more. I started counting open shots she declined and gave up when I ran out of fingers and toes. Nika can get away with not taking many shots but when a team can lay off two of five on the floor it makes things harder for the other three. Shade made up the slack today. We can't have to count on that.
And they have 6 graduate students rather than 4 freshmen playing a lot of minutesSome folks thought this would be a 40-point MOV. I think Vegas predicted a 33-point MOV, but I didn’t see it. I thought maybe 25.
As some folks noted, this was a 3 v. 14 game, not a 1 v. 16 matchup.
Some facts about JSU:
They ran the table in their conference AND won the conference tourney.
Their bad losses were to Texas, Oregon State, and Kansas State, all top-15 teams. The relatively close losses were to UCF, Miami, and Miss. State.
Two years ago, they led Baylor in the tourney by 10 before losing by 6. That’s the Baylor team that we struggled with.
Their big player transferred in from USC.
Geno seemed legitimately concerned about them.
I’m not disappointed in our performance. I would have liked 90-50, but JSU has talent and athleticism and they played hard.
Like this?Bemusing event of the game - Geno gets a warning for bench decorum, ie, being too far out of the coaching box, and all I can think of is Mulkey, Shaka Smart, and a bunch of others that are ON the court vs wandering too far up the margin towards the scorer's table area.
He also yelled it at Nika after another phantom call on herAt one point Vaszily yelled twice at Geno, "stop!".
Joe is getting very thin skinned in addition to being wrong.At one point Vaszily yelled twice at Geno, "stop!".
1- zero, which shows that 14 seeds are generally much tougher than 16 seedsTwo questions:
1. How many of those previous games were played against #14 seeds?
2. Any purpose to your post here other than general unpleasantness?
The tricky thing was UConn only won the second half by 1 point. They only won the last 3 quarters by 8. Not sure what to make of that.
So true. Some of these coaches are literally on the court and Coach G gets called out. I rarely see or hear Coach Smart getting a warning and I see Coach Mulkey getting a tech for behavior but rarely a warning for being out on the floor.Bemusing event of the game - Geno gets a warning for bench decorum, ie, being too far out of the coaching box, and all I can think of is Mulkey, Shaka Smart, and a bunch of others that are ON the court vs wandering too far up the margin towards the scorer's table area.
The absolute worse of his "kind". It is not so much that he makes bad calls (all refs do - they are human). It is because he makes bad "no calls". It is the no calls that have made the women's game look like rugby games and at times ugly. This man's interpretation of the rules favor certain styles and certain teams that play those styles. Also very inconsistent. That is the problem, IMO.I hope that this is the last game that Joe Vaszily calls this season for UConn. He is one of the worst refs I've ever seen.

That Jackson State didn't lose, they just ran out of time?The tricky thing was UConn only won the second half by 1 point. They only won the last 3 quarters by 8. Not sure what to make of that.
