UConn vs. MSU Game Thread

[Tenspro2002]

Miss State is ranked #4. It's not like they're nobodies

MSU is a great team, and played exceptionally well tonight, but you can't deny that certain players looked extremely tight.

Congrats to MSU, they deserve it. Geno got outcoached. Napheesa and Kia MIA.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Well deserved win...Morgan Williams is spectacular under pressure...

Tonight, we were tight...

 

[UCweCONN]

Free throws.

Geno did say for this team to lose we would have to help, and we did, but at least Geno finally got his loss to inspire his team

Congrats to Miss State, hope they win it all. I guess losses happen once every hundred games or so. Not disappointed we lost, just disappointed we didn't play well. Credit Mississippi State, but that's what happens when you miss FT's, make mental mistakes. Can't give em that many chances!

 

[BlueDogs]

just curious: how many of these final fours have you personally played?

Doesn't change the facts ... plenty of opportunities and failed to make plays to win with many opportunities to do so. The last play was a complete brain freeze.

 

[JColes]

How do you not hold the ball for the last shot? Every middle school coach in America knows that.

 

[StephStorrs]

Congratulations to Miss State. Incredible fight, incredible drive, and the better team won tonight.

The loss doesn't take away from everything else this team managed to accomplish this season. They defied the odds, and I'm so incredibly proud to be a fan of the Huskies now more than ever. It was a great and beautiful run!

Well, congrats to MSSt. They earned it.

For the record, I disagree with commentators calling it the biggest upset - I'd rank Louisville over Baylor as a bigger one.

UCONN was undefeated and beat this team by 60 last year. Biggest upset I've ever seen in the women's game.

 

[Adios]

You watched the game...

We won over 110 in a row. Imagine the pressure with a whole country watching you. Even with that pressure, an impressive game.

Congrats to Mississippi State. They deserve to win this game.

This is not the biggest upset and I am not even a woman's basketball fan. This wasn't supposed to be our year, right? This game exposed that. I'll take the new record winning streak, thank you very much.

 

[Blueballer]

Just Awful! As bad as I have ever seen!

BUT - we didn't get "blown out"

 

[Atleast5char]

I'm not pinning it on her. We lost this game long before that. All the missed FT's - Could have won easy in regulation.

Exactly.

 

[mntncougar]

Loss is all on us. Totally lost composure for no real reason. Collier biggest disappointment of all

 

[Tenspro2002]

UCONN was undefeated and beat this team by 60 last year. Biggest upset I've ever seen in the women's game.

Dude, that's like saying that someone beating the 1999 Bulls was the biggest upset of all time.

We lost a ton. Neither of these teams is the same.

 

[Ozimoto]

Well, that sucked. The perfect storm of the weaknesses occurred and Mississippi State played a great game to exploit them. It had to end sometime.

 

[Los24]

When Gabby misses free throws she's tired.

Sorry she has missed them plenty throughout the season, worse FT shooter of starting five by far. Pheese is what I am most confused about this game.

 

[HuskyNan]

Doesn't change the facts ... plenty of opportunities and failed to make plays to win with many opportunities to do so. The last play was a complete brain freeze.

You don't post here all season then come to rip on a young team that goes 36-1 and exceed expectations by a mile? Take a walk

 

[Stinger92860]

Ya know, beating them by 60 was probably not a smart move

 

[TitleTown]

UCONN was undefeated and beat this team by 60 last year. Biggest upset I've ever seen in the women's game.

I didn't see Stewart, Tuck, or Jefferson out there playing tonight! TOTALLY DIFFERENT TEAMS

 

[Centerstream]

I did DVR this game now I'm going to delete it

 

[BigBird]

Game over. UConn did not deserve the win. MSU earned it all the way. The remaining thing is for the program to move forward with class and humility. They will - This we can be sure of. And for us as fans to get our blood pressure back to normal and be civil even in our disappointment.

 

[Zanzman]

Feel like I'm in volnation reading this thread all night the whining ang blaming players of choking fair weather fans

 

[Rb335]

Unfortunately that play by Chong just illustrated her entire career. One step forward two steps back. Horrible decision and clock management.

This team overachieved all season long. It was one of the most enjoyable seasons to date. Proud that they did what they did.
