UConn vs. Temple Game Thread!

[JordyG]

Napheesa Collier, 1st team AA. Any objections?

 

[HuskyNan]

I would like to see Napheesa execute the pump fake when she post-up. She would score more by getting the defender off their feet and draw more fouls.

She's scoring 20+ a game and shooting 67%. I'm not sure how much more she can do.

Is this a joke?

 

[JordyG]

No Pheesa, no win.

The high - low game: Gabby to Pheesa.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nice hustle by everyone to save the ball from going out of bounds

 

[Tenspro2002]

Mostly transition. Lots of steals and turnovers giving UConn the runout

Turning defense into offense is fine, but we won't be able to count on that against top teams.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Culmo's constant descriptions of Collier as "steady" and consistent are tiresome. She is spectacular, not steady. Her skill level, hands, feet, and IQ are top notch.

 

[TitleTown]

2 on Williams

Temple with a dive call

Sigh.

 

[huskeynut]

Gabby = Hustle

 

[TitleTown]

3 on WIlliams

 

[HoopsFan21]

23-11 end 1st

Can someone offer points per player, while you're sitting with a time out?

 

[oldude]

Silly foul on Gabby. not good

 

[FfldCountyC]

Collier and Williams are putting themselves up there with the best of the 1-2 punches of posts in UConn history: Tuck/Stewart, Wolters/Lobo, Cash/Jones/Williams

 

[Sluconn Husky]

That is awful again. Quit with the BS reffing.

 

[TitleTown]

That's just a dumb foul by WIlliams,

napheesa 13

It's like Lou's not even on the floor. Seems invisible.

From watching the pregame, I think (am not positive) that Meg is referring to Napheesa's demeanor. Kara Walters made a big deal out of Napheesa's even temperament - never too high or too low

Is this a joke?

No its not a joke. It's good basketball. As effective as she in in the box, she would be even more so with that slight adjustment.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Atrocious sequence to end the quarter.

We were poised to break the game open, instead Temple feels like they can hang around, and Gabby is out for the half.

 

[JordyG]

Gabby's 2nd foolish foul of the period. Katie Lou's shooting confidence, as I've said, is either somewhere in Cali or in the toilet. Her form doesn't seem off, her shot selection is occasionally a little long, and her numbers are plummeting. This team needs her. No Lou, no championship.
