UConn vs. KY - Game Thread

[meganmatthews]

I hit the SAP "Plain language" button during Stewarts interview, and she actually said " What are they? Stupid? Trying to pressure us? You want pressure? HERE"S PRESSURE!! "

48-26 at the half. I feel much better about this game than I did last year's!

What's impressive is everyone who's stepping up. Stef is hobbled, KML has two fouls, MoJeff was out while they were tending to her knee--and subs come in and pick up where the others left off.

Our Frosh have been the steadying force...just amazing! Morgan the rock...Breanna the stud and Mo ain't seen a press she can't bust!

No one understood what KY's motto meant. It was "40 Minutes We Dread."

That's "dreadful" news for them!

Moriah and Bria can easily be the first team AA backcourt next year...and I do mean starting today!

down 22 and all D Burke can utter is Kentucky Kentucky Kentucky

They're the story. Everyone in the USA except us is sick of hearing UConn. She wants to keep viewers from turning to America's Got Talent or whatever.

Do they normally interview college players at half-time? Seeing Stewart being interviewed struck me as odd.

Only during the regionals and final four. Espn started doing it in 2011.

So is Mitchell telling them to shake it off in the locker room..."UConn's a really good team and so are we"?

48-26 UConn at halftime. Bre with 13 at the half.

What's totally nuts is they closed with a 25-3 run and the three points were on a ridiculous banked 3 point shot that wasn't meant to be one. They started taking care of the ball and lost a lot of their sloppiness. That plus their defense really stepped up and got back so as not to give Kentucky any chippees. They absolutely suck in half court offense because they are great athletes with little or no basketball skills.

The Wile E Coyotes lookin' for the ACME catalogue...

I really don't care about what the announcers say. UConn is winning by 20 (again) and they have to find something to talk about. I'll take a national championship any day over the respect of Doris Burke.

Yes. The best is yet to come with those two.

Oh, my. . . you should have skipped the baseball game.

UConn surgically dismantling Kentucky.

We can not let up at all. Keep our defense up...and bring it!! 20 more minutes. Let's go, Huskies. Now that is halftime, time to let the dawgs out.

It's really nice to see Bria Hartley playing well. She's keeping herself in control, playing good defense and taking the ball to the rim when the opportunity is there. Smart basketball.

The best half of Uconn basketball since both Maya and Tina were on campus.

Sorry but that's just too much hyperbole for me. Not a fair assessment at all.

KY experienced 20 minutes of DREAD from UCONN!

The women's basketball version of Ali - Frazier.

I stepped out to get dinner when the score was tied. Did I miss anything?

The BEST thing I've seen her do all year was miss that 3 then get aggressive and take it inside for a layup. That's what she needs to do to be back to her old self!

I would agree that the last ten minutes was the best ten minutes UConn has played since Maya and Tina. The first ten minutes left a lot to be desired with sloppy offense and turnovers and not getting back on defense, allowing some serious bunnies for Kentucky.

I think this is the first year for it. I don't remember it before.

Surgery?????
I though this was suppose to be a battle of defenses.

Nothing. Go back and eat for another 45 minutes or so please.
