UConn vs. Tulane Game Thread and Ceremonies

[EricSD]

They are running stupid plays. dump the ball into Stewie who is double teamed and she has to take a fade away lefty hook shot? that's not a high % shot even tho Stewie is phenomenal.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Shots aren't falling. Don't think Tulane has enough scoring to pull off the upset like St Johns did in 2012

 

[HoopsFan21]

Score change 13-8 end 1st - Gabby made FTs after the quarter ended

 

[Ozimoto]

Definite wake up call. Still a little early for the anointing. Let's see how the second quarter goes...

Stanford - UCONN championship redux

 

[HoopsFan21]

Two quick steals, 13-12 9:32 2nd, and Gabby with another steal!

 

[HuskyNan]

It's Gabulous, score now 13-12.

 

[TitleTown]

Stewart would have 20 by now if she could get a layup to drop

Yep.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Gabby with the foul line jumper, 16-14 Tulane 8:17 2nd

 

[HuskyNan]

Gabby is a huge spark off the bench!

 

[Tenspro2002]

Stewie has been awful on offense today. Can't finish anything around the rim.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno's gonna be running a 2 hour lay up line in practice this week

 

[HuskyNan]

Stewie has been awful on offense today. Can't finish anything around the rim.

Defense is spectacular, though.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier in for Kia

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS for 3!!! 17-16 6:51 2nd

 

[HoopsFan21]

Collier with the steal, and misses the lay up

 

[HuskyNan]

Steal for Napheesa!

 

[TitleTown]

I hope we can shoot the 3 ball better in the tournament.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Finally Stewie gets one to go with the home court bounce! 19-16 6:05 2nd

 

[HuskyNan]

Stewie gets the lucky bounce. Score now 19-18 UConn.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Defense is spectacular, though.

Yes, hence the "on offense" modifier.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie for 3!!! 22-18 5:30 2nd

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tuck back in for Gabby

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS for 3!!! 25-18

 

[HuskyNan]

Lou makes her second three, now 25-18 UConn

 

[HoopsFan21]

Anymore doubters as to Lou's 3 point ability? 9 for her last 16

 

[EricSD]

I love Samuelson's game. And Gabby comes in and completely changes the game. Collier comes in and even tho she missed the layup is also heavily involved. This team is in VERY good hands next year.

Yep, Geno had a sophomore and two freshmen in with the score tied, showing great confidence in them.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I find it noteworthy that our run came with Gabby in and Tuck on the bench.

Maybe in this sort of game the injection of athleticism is needed.

Against Tuck, they're packing the post and her more deliberate style of play isn't working.
