UConn vs. KY - Game Thread

[WNBARookFan]

out of control by MJ

Her knee giving out may have had something to do with it.

 

[JSB60]

KY has a decent game plan except the idea they can beat up Kelly. That part is working about as well as could be expected.

 

[semper]

Wow, what happened our MoJo?

 

[VAMike23]

Do you think she just banged a knee?

 

[ursusminor]

Why didn't Geno call a to to get Mo looked at?

Didn't have possession. Can't call a TO while KY has the ball.

 

[UConnChapette]

MoJeff limping; I kinda wonder if Bria didn't foul on purpose to stop the clock and let her get out.

That would be the ultimate team player.

 

[HuskyMJ]

Kentucky looks gassed but in the previous round the announcers kept talking about their 40 minutes of pressure and how intense their training is, and how they play 10-12 players and substitute in waves. So I don't get why they are gassed, they got deeper than us.

 

[Flyegirl]

True meganmatters, and now KY also has to play from behind AND in a hurry.

 

[Icebear]

I personally like palaver better...

Prattle has the advantage of onomatopoeia.

 

[OneTrickPony]

O'Neill wearing MO-hair...oh no...MO!

 

[alexrgct]

Mo will be ok, I think. She's a toughie.

Minor note- I love how Stef is being patient with her passing after rebounding, not letting UK get a cheap turnover.

 

[VAMike23]

It's her right knee so possibly a collision bc she was driving from left side. Could obviously be a sprain too, but I have my fingers crossed

 

[OneTrickPony]

Did Mo hit her head?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Mo down....YIKES!

When she stayed down and it was four on five, I kept thinking about UConn practices--5 on 7. They could handle a 4 on 5.

 

[ChrisSmith]

Bria, don't shoot pull up jump shots on a fast break.

 

[Replicant]

Kentucky ran themselves ragged with that furious start. Now they can't hit a basket.

Once the legs get tired you start to hit the front of the rim on shots because the usual mechanics don't get you to the normal release point...I was waiting for O'Neill to cool off for precisely that reason.

 

[Soxx]

Was Mo Jeff pushed on that drive?

 

[bruinbball]

Agreed VA, I didn't like that she had t throw the ball up because of the knee injury.

 

[Icebear]

Stewie to the line. 37-23.

 

[blackbird]

Bria, don't shoot pull up jump shots on a fast break.

That's her shot. She was absolute money on that her entire career prior to this season. She should take as many as she wants.

 

[meganmatthews]

OMG. Even Oneil can't hit a free throw. It's a wrap.

 

[VAMike23]

Per Holly Rowe's comments it sounds like a "tweak" (slight sprain)

UConn fitness/S&C is no joke. It's rare to gas a Uconn team. What a block !!!

 

[Replicant]

The blood is in the water!

 

[meganmatthews]

Stewart said; "Take That!"

 

[Icebear]

Was Mo Jeff pushed on that drive?

Hard to tell but it looked possible.

 

[WNBARookFan]

Breanna!!! MoJeff will apparently be ok...whew

 

[Icebear]

39-23 under 3:00

 

[UCONNfan1]

Are the announcers still going on and on about how great Kentucky is, how their fitness and 40 minutes of hell are 2nd to none, and how they have UCONN on their heels a bit? Just curious!

 

[Laramie]

these freshman are going to be PHE NOM EN AL by the time they are seniors!!!!!!
