UConn vs. OK Game Thread

[alexrgct]

Nice little run here. Very reminiscent of the 2010 game. Unfortunately, the difference is that Sherri got that 2010 team to the F4, and this is not going to be that kind of year for OU.

DAGGER 3 by Kaleena.

KML's arc is much higher and better tonight. You can feel the air under it again tonight.

A little worried about UConn's offense on the road. I expect Denver to be a relatively hostile environment for UConn. People like rooting against the favorite.

Beautiful play by Hayes there.

 

[Dairyair]

Very much so. We've had a number of clumsy fouls tonight.

You know the refs are doing all right when no BYer demands to know who they are!

 

[NutmegDog]

Caroline seems okay on the bench. Have we seen her at all this half?

Yep.

Another great game by Tiff... she was everywhere. Scoring, rebounding, defending, doing it all.

Kantner and Lisa Mattingly were "doing" the Tenn-Ky game

Not sure, check Gametracker. She must have she has 17 minutes in the game.

Another great game by Tiff... she was everywhere. Scoring, rebounding, defending, doing it all.

Yep, she's been the consistently excellent one. Plus Bria in the first half and KML in the second. When they all play well, you get the Georgetown kind of result.

Will be a tough win by the team when the start looked like a blow out. Tougher win then the Final Score will indicate.

With less then 2 minutes left, UConn committed only 4 fouls. 1st half was called for 12 fouls.

I think they are BE officials. Wesley Dean is one, I think.

 

[alexrgct]

Tiff pick up the ball in time for a cheap rebound at the end?

 

[Dairyair]

73-55 final...finally!

Do you realize what you are saying? That Tiff is consistent?

That will not be accepted by some around here, so you better be ready to defend yourself.

 

[Icebear]

This was not bad at all for a quick turnaround game with travel. Remember we played Saturday, traveled Sunday, played today.

That will not be accepted by some around here, so you better be ready to defend yourself.

But she has been consistent recently, and that is GREAT!

 

[alexrgct]

Another W. I'll take it. Brick by brick, UConn has put together a very good regular season. Now the question will be how they close out, starting with the Elite Eight.

 

[Kevin G]

I think this is a really good win for UCONN against a good well coached team on the road. Oklahoma always plays us tough on their home court. This win will help our team learn how to close out teams.

GO UCONN

I think they are BE officials. Wesley Dean is one, I think.

They didn't call a BE game. Pretty one-sided for a long while.

With out the help from the refs Uconn would have won by 30-35,easy.

The refs were good tonight, they gave no one help. We were sloppy on D and committed those fouls.

 

[alexrgct]

If UConn can handle its business against St John's, it will have gone 6-0 in its toughest stretch of consecutive games: Duke, Rutgers, Louisville, Georgetown, OU, St. John's. Has not been a complete thing of beauty throughout that stretch, but 6-0 in your toughest stretch is overall stellar. Obviously, still gotta beat St. John's, but Tiff isn't letting UConn lose on her senior night.
