UConn vs. PSU - Game Thread

Too bad our pullups are all strong...

This team just has no chemistry yet in offense and is going to lose to Stanford unless that gets fixed quickly. That wouldn't be the end of the world, but there's too much dribbling, too many cute passes, bad spacing, and no sense of who needs to be taking the big shots when momentum is shifting.

Offensive fouls becoming a problem...

would you say they are becoming offensive?

 

[OneTrickPony]

Nickson having no luck against Breanna down low...

Tres offensive...the book on UCONN is clearly that you can draw the charge and that's all you can do...

 

[UConnChapette]

Banks was stuck to Bentley likes glue and gets the steal. Stewart fouled on the rebound. makes one of two . Now 26-20 UConn

Fl;ash Banks on the flash bye...

Flashbang!

 

[UConnChapette]

Wow, that was a late foul call. Bria to the line for two. Misses the first. Makes the second. 27-22 UConn

Alex Bentley picks up a 3rd frustration foul...

 

[UConnChapette]

Bentley and Nickson now with three fouls each for PSU.

 

[Replicant]

Not liking this officiating...they were over officious from the get go and now they're losing control of the game.

 

[CTyankee]

I cannot believe these referees..... Enterline is the only steady one... The other two are need to go back to HS play...

 

[NutmegDog]

10 TOs in the half, seemed like it might've been more. We're out of sync and PSU is keeping us comfortable by fouling us.
Geno will want to work a little coaching magic this halftime.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Tough first half...Nickson and Bentley with 3 fouls and Bentley 1 for 7...

 

[OneTrickPony]

Geno would like to see a little motion in the motion offense...

 

[meyers7]

Geno is pi$$ed.

 

[UConnChapette]

Geno seems to be calmly frustrated in the half-time interview. I imagine he isn't quite as calm in the locker room.

 

[OneTrickPony]

These games are great preparation...let's hope we see a more tenacious offense in the 2nd half...defense is super...

 

[Replicant]

Geno is pi$$ed.

I'm pi$$ed.

PSU seems to be getting all the loose balls and out hustling UConn. UConn is playing great defense and poorly on offense. Hard to believe team could look so good against A&M and then so out of sync when playing Maryland now PSU.

 

[UConnChapette]

Meanwhile, in the ref's break room, they are opening up a new box of whistles since all the whistle blowing in the first half wore out the whistles they started with.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Nobody seems to be seeking a body to block out on rebounds...we are giving up a lot of real estate...

 

[tomcat]

This is the kind of game that UConn loses, when they get to scrambling, succumb to disruptive play on the part of the other guys and miss shots they usually make. Let's see what Geno comes up with in the second half.

PSt getting a lot of favorable bounces but our offense looks totally out of sync. Stef with 2 pts. and that was on a 15 footer.

SNY transmission is awful tonight. In and out....
