UConn vs. KY - Game Thread

[Laramie]

Who will make the all-regional team? I bet Stewart does.

Stewie. KML. spark plug mo Jeff. Faris. dolson.

 

[BugsyCT]

Oh, Bugsy, Bugsy. . .

Very well. My bad on the terminology.

That's what comes from living on the other boards.

I would love to see Faris on it, but I don't think any of them will care. They want a national championship.

Before the game didn't think team would blow out Kentucky. Thought they would win an 8 - 12 point game. I'm constantly amazed how often Geno's team blow out highly talented teams. They did it will Stef only scoring two points and KML sitting for approx minutes in the 1st half. An Amazing Performance by the TEAM

Moriah really deserves to be on the all tournament team too.

If she isn't, it's a travesty...

Don't underestimate how Moriah Jefferson creates opportunities for her team...and makes the press a liability...

This group is now really a TEAM.

This will be the 14th Final Four for the #UConnwomen - just in case you've lost count

Just glad you came by to say hello and give some props to the Huskies WBB!

Win by 30 and it really wasn't as hard as that.

It's the perfect birthday present! I'll take it!

 

[ctchamps]

Really nice win! Hope they get this guard play the next game!

As nauseating as all the talk about ND was, Doris said something intelligent with a few minutes to go. She said basically that UConn was poised to beat ND in each of the games but couldn't finish them off. But then she added, that was without Hartley playing the way she is now, without Moriah playing the way she's playing now, and without Breanna playing the way she's playing now. In other words, if UConn plays ND the way it played Maryland and Kentucky, it will be a long night for the Irish.

Frankly the way UConn played tonight Baylor would have had all they could handle.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Wasn't the KY player inside the circle when they called the charge on MoJeff?

Hard to tell at relativistic speeds...

 

[OneTrickPony]

I was thinking Stewie might jam it .. she's certainly capable of it.

Something tells me the young lady wouldn't do that in a 30-point blowout...a wee bit too classy...

 

[OneTrickPony]

Geno couldn't pull the hounds off even if he wanted to...the ladies are looking to punish Kentucky and I love it!

They can thank Ms. Walker...

BINGO!
This is the "team" we were so disappointed not to see much earlier in the year. That delay between expectation and realization, between potential and on-the-floor performance led to much analysis and blame-gaming. In the end, we just needed some patience, had to wait for them to grow into the college game. The last few games, UConn is a different team, and the essential difference has been made by the arrival of the three freshman. No need to go through the catalog of what they now add; well, just one thing. MoJeff's emergence has meant that Geno has been able to spot Bria H in games, and tonight was, IMO, her best all-around performance of the season. She was much more in control-- on both ends of the floor-- and made better choices. She can hand off the ball to Mo and take some of the load off her own shoulders.
I am looking forward to another showdown with Notre Dame. We are a better "team" now, readier and steadier, with more weapons, more integrated pieces. In fact, I hope that ND wins tomorrow night; I want to see how *this* UConn team takes them on.

Hmmm, wonder if she'd like the nick name "that little thing"?

Her Twitter handle is "BonnBonn".

 

[UConnChapette]

Her Twitter handle is "BonnBonn".

Love it!

 

[rocky rococo]

Let's go, Duke!

It's the most passionately pro-Duke I'll ever be in my life.

I'm with you Papa. I'd be very disappointed not to have a chance to beat ND the way we're playing.

 

[rocky rococo]

40 minutes of dreadful...mercifully coming to a close...83 - 53 UConn...bring on the leprechauns banshees...

Fixed that for you.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Fixed that for you.

women...I stand corrected...

Blame Geno. He started it.

Yeah, in an in game interview. But as a handle not so much. Roadrunner or BeepBeep maybe.
