UConn vs. Mississippi St. [GAME THREAD]

[j66kicker]

New projection- 120-16

Only 'cause the subs are already in.

 

[GoUconn7961]

These kids are pretty good at basketball..

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia, KLS, Tuck, Collier, Gabby in

 

[toadfoot]

Mississippi St.'s normal defense of grab, bump, clutch and hack doesn't work when they can't catch their opponent.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tuck for 3!!! 51-12

 

[huskeynut]

Morgan for 3.

 

[huskeynut]

Like Geno's comment to the subs - "keep it going." "Don't let up on the gas."

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie in for Gabby, Collier makes 2 FTs 53-12 3:37 2nd

 

[Millenial23]

I dare Geno to find something to complain about at half time

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS takes another charge

 

[HoopsFan21]

3rd block by Stewie

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tuck for 2 more , 17 for her now, 55-12

 

[GoUconn7961]

Mississippi State looks exhausted

 

[Zorro]

Upset increasingly unlikely.

 

[huskeynut]

And the track meet continues.

57 - 12 UCONN.

 

[HoopsFan21]

59-12 :35 2nd

 

[HoopsFan21]

61-12 half

 

[toadfoot]

Would I love to be sitting behind the MS bench.

 

[Zorro]

Projection now 122-24. Are we running out of gas?

 

[Millenial23]

Best half of basketball all year! And there've been some good ones!

Kinetic art, pure and simple. Howard Gardner, who pioneered the idea of multiple ways of thinking about intelligence, not just the IQ type of intelligence, revised his work when he saw Michael Jordan, adding kinetic intelligence. Well, today, UConn showed kinetic genius. What team has ever played better team basketball, ever, anywhere?

 

[huskeynut]

We are seeing a team on a mission. Such beautiful basketball.

Correct. This is a first for the tourney, ESPN is broadcasting the UConn women's warm up session before the real game. Those are high school kids with Mississippi State uniforms scrimmaging against UConn right now.

 

[BRS24]

fivethirtyeight.com predictor had the Excitement index score of this game at 0.1 in the second quarter and now at half it's o.o. The Stanford/ND game was at 7.7.

I beg to differ. I will take fundamentally solid basketball, crisp passing, tenacious defense, and high hoop IQ any day.

 

[Kaizen]

Poor Miss St, becomes the victim of the last night upsets...

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL GAME OF BASKETBALL!!!! This is just about the closest to a perfect half of basketball I've ever seen. Could be the most perfect half of basketball I've ever seen from a Connecticut basketball team. And I've seen some masterpieces.

I wonder whether this is Connecticut's best basketball team ever. They're playing at a level that I haven't seen since 2001. And Breanna is absolutely magnificent. Incredible what she's doing. Except for a couple of missed three's by Katie Lou, this is an incredible game of basketball. Never seen the likes before.

We are seeing a team on a mission.

And sending a message. . . .

 

[GoUconn7961]

And sending a message.

Exactly!

If I am reading the NCAA record book correctly, this is the largest halftime lead in the entire history of the NCAA Tournament. IN ANY ROUND.
