UConn vs ND First Half

[Dairyair]

I don't see that many bad calls against us, just the one foul on Bria (I think) when Diggins drove for the +1.

Mostly I see some sloppiness that has given ND a lot more opportunities.

5 second call on Novosel , great D by Kelly !!!

I was thinking of several out of bounds ball that went to ND that shouldn't have...

TOs and Fouls

UConn is definitely attacking the press. Seems out of control, but it's leading to scores.

Does UConn have more fouls or does Don Criqui have more mistakes?

Kiah taking it aggressively! Nice to see. No it's not as pretty as ball-movement basketball which we all love, but our inside players have to look to step it up individually when the opportunities arise. Nothing wrong with going to the line

Kiah + Stef alignment

High low, Kiah to Stef, Stef working hard for 2 !!!

Could have also gotten a foul call on DPeters on that play, for an +1. But not a terrible no-call

 

[Dairyair]

24-18 on Stef's layup @ under-8 TO

Anyone else notice that we have a 6'5 and 6'3 post players in the game and both of them are hanging out at the top of the key!!!!!

One of them needs to post up!!!!

I think they've been setting up hi-lo mostly ..??

Geno must have instructed Bria that when she has the ball she is to push push the ball to get something to happen.

Is Bria quicker then any ND player.

Just not straight into waiting double-teams in the backcourt, tho .....

He has more mistakes. Sounds like it is his first game in 20 years!

 

[VAMike23]

Bria's on-ball and positional defense is just so much better than last year....

 

[Wbbfan1]

Even with the UConn turn overs the team has taken out a lot of the crowd. I'm sure they'll be back when ND goes on their run

 

[Dairyair]

Our team defense is awesome!!

 

[VAMike23]

Doty !!!!! wow , nice D

Thought Bria might have travelled on the drive from the pass from Stef....

 

[Vowelguy]

Doty's best game of the season?

Not sure, but with the game being played in a pretty frenetic/messy fashion, it's probably good to have her out there as much as possible to keep things from coming unglued for our guys. She has had a couple mistakes but so has everyone so far, and she's working her a*s off

Hartley is everywhere. Great hustle

 

[VAMike23]

The team totally missed KLM calling for the ball from teh perimeter on that last possession.

Bria a little out of control on that drive...

 

[Vowelguy]

Bria's gotta watch the high dribble.

 

[Dairyair]

9-0 run for ND...unacceptable!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Crowd is back into the game

 

[DaddyChoc]

Bria isnt stoping Diggins from going left down to the baseline

 

[VAMike23]

This is the kind of game where you have to be strong with the ball, both on post-ups and on the dribble, because if you do so you are going to get fouled and go to the line. Not enough of that at the moment. Stef could have done an up-fake or something, maybe a drop step, anything to try and bait the D. Not that it was a bad shot, but I'm just sayin

 

[alexrgct]

STOP WASTING POSSESSIONS!!!

Half these TOs or totally unmakable shots are unforced. Just playing stupid, stupid basketball right now.

 

[Vowelguy]

wtf was that foul from Doty? Didnt look like she was going for the ball at all.
