UCONN vs. St. John's Game Thread

[Samanthabrown3]

St. John's timeout. They've got one left; we've got four.

58-41. St. John's looks tired. Or maybe it's just how I feel, watching them all run around at full energy.

Has UConn gotten a loose ball yet?

Love the rebound by KML. But Tuck and that hustle for the ball on the floor!!!! High-five that girl, please!!!

 

[ASweet3781]

Sloppy passing for about 4 straight positions. Passes that couldn't be completed by men's players.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

UConn up 60-43, but not looking crisp. Geno takes a time out.

 

[ASweet3781]

Has UConn gotten a loose ball yet?

No.

But St. John's is also throwing their bodies into our players on all of them and the refs aren't calling it.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Methinks Geno tried to set up a 3 for KML. It got blocked. St. John's gets the two at the other end.

 

[sawxfan23]

Too much standing around on offense.

 

[ASweet3781]

UConn has fallen a sleep.

No one paying attention to anything out there. Getting balls taken from them.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

No.

But St. John's is also throwing their bodies into our players on all of them and the refs aren't calling it.

I'd like to see UConn reciprocate. Much more energy from the Red Storm, even with the deficit. Might help if someone from the bench actually got in the game.

Stokes NEEDS to make layups.

 

[JellyBean]

Whoa. They just showed a picture of my future wife, Sue Bird. Man she still looks great. Yeah it is that kind of a game where my mind is wandering

UConn 62

St. John's 48

 

[Sluconn Husky]

St. John's is a struggle every time.

 

[JellyBean]

Stokes with the nice high post shot.

Watch it!! That's my fantasy daughter you're taking about.

 

[sawxfan23]

That's just a dumb shot by Stewart!!!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Stewart keeps settling for long jumpers and threes despite a huge advantage inside. At least she's been really good in other areas.

Maya Moore and Kerry Bascom only #UConn players to score 1,500 points in fewer games than 89 it took Breanna Stewart to get there

Interesting lineup - starters except Stokes instead of KML. Seems to be working

Well I guess I better get to know my in-laws then, huh

Wow. That is impressive.

 

[pinotbear]

Just a reminder, folks: St. John's is 12-1, only loss coming in dbl OT, and just knocked off a top 25 team. Are they ND? No. But, they ain't tooo shabby.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Ek and Gabby in now

 

[j66kicker]

Great athletic save by Gabby, bouncing it off a Syracuse player's foot as she fell out of bounds

 

[JellyBean]

Tuck just brings a different element to our team. She can beat you on the block, at the mid-post, and at the high post. Then she takes it a step further and beats you on the wing and 3 point area. With her in the paint and Stewie at the high post area, we have the makes of a nice Hi-Low set.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tuck finishes with 23 pts. TLaw in.
