UConn vs UCF game thread

Kyla, TLaw, and Bent in

 

[JordyG]

UCF has fallen twice to the floor while dribbling without a walk being called. What up?

 

[huskeynut]

In comes the bench

 

[ASweet3781]

Why aren't we subbing in our bench? 3:13 left?

Conference tourneys with back to back games , etc.

They barely played yesterday and quite frankly need the work.

Crystal Dangerfield with some ups !

You answered your own question.....tournament time.

I think Lou has been beaten so often off the dribble the last two games she's gonna need a bib after the game.

I agree Jordy. She's really slow of foot the past couple of weeks. Compared to, what? 6 weeks ago, when she was hitting 30+, I think she's just worn down. We keep wondering about who's starting next year, but with all that talent, maybe the best situation is to treat Lou like they treat NBA players: give her a night off every once in a while.

Veteran move by Dangerfield.

Nat struggles with smaller, quicker players.

Hate to keep picking on her but can't catch a good pass to her' does not rotate to block shot of smaller player, can't jump for a rebound

I'd like to see Temple win tonight. It would look good for Tonya. And they don't match up well with us. We kill them every time

 

[MilfordHusky]

Beautiful pass from Danger, but Nat misses the layup.

Or less dramatically just reduce her minutes each game because of a deeper bench.

 

[Jimbo]

UCF just whacking and body-checking everybody in sight at this point. This game can't end soon enough.

 

[ASweet3781]

UCF throwing their bodies around and full court pressing our walk bench down 25 with under 1 to go. Geno looks annoyed.

 

[JordyG]

More credit to UCF. Not only have they played hard they haven't given up and their bench has stayed involved. Credit to the coaches and assistants as well for this.

I think that nagging respiratory problem and some nagging injuries have hurt her performance. But resting her once in a while sure wouldn't hurt next year. By the way to me, a hard foul on an opposing player like that with under an min. and down by almost 30 is a flagrant.

Crystal Dangerfield practicing FTs for pressure situations.

 

[ASweet3781]

geez BUTLER~~!

 

[JordyG]

By the way, did Nat just miss another bunny from Crystal Dangerfield? Sigh. I love you Nat, but...well, you'll get it sooner or later. Go Nat.

 

[HoopsFan21]

78-56 final

 

[Bigpetunia]

Nat denies CD another great assist.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Geno was annoyed by the press.

 

[TitleTown]

Down 30 with a minute left and they decide they are going to press? Classless!

 

[ASweet3781]

By the way, did Nat just miss another bunny from Crystal Dangerfield?

YES!
