UConn vs UCLA game thread

It doesn't - As I said Oregon just beat Temple by 1 point in the opening round and Stanford beat them ALL 3 times this year. I don't think Stanford is that good this year. They're not bad but nowhere near as good as they have been.

This is easily the best season they've had since Chiney graduated.
 
A win is a win.

This one was a B- at best.

I would expect a much better performance on Monday night. Pheesa just saying that the team is not please with their performance. That is a good sign.

Credit to Close and her team. They played tough. And she is a Geno disciple and it shows.

We got the W but I can assure you that Geno is not exactly elated with the way we played today. The dumb turnovers and inability to put this game away are not the hallmarks of a UConn team.

Yeah we were in "Big Trouble" for about 3 minutes there. :rolleyes:
 
Give up 71 points be very concern... This is where I have been saying all year long and once again people just go at me... Not having a deep bench is finally catching up...this is the basketball capital of the world ... UCONN should never be in situations where they have no bench. U need bench depth period!!! Can't understand why UCONN always has a rotation of 8 max every year. Baylor will prevail. Bench Bench Bench!!! Recruit Recruit Recruit!!!

UCLA acquitting themselves well.

They are competing and I respect that but UConn lapses have helped contribute to their success. Napheesa mentioned that after the game. Sloppy passes, turnovers, missed coverages. Not typical UConn stuff. Their second half was not impressive in any way.

Seriously - are you EVER happy? EVER?

Canada has been unguardable. Gabby has played great, but no Collier, no win.

The player of the game was Gabby, PERIOD! Collier played very well, as well but Gabby set the tone and her all around game contributed the most to this victory.

Baylor may have trouble with MS State.

They left a lot at the free throw line. Hope they get that cleaned up.
 
Not their best performance for sure, but win and move on is the name of the game this time of year. I suspect they will play much more efficiently against Oregon (they better).

Glad you enjoyed the game!

Saniya is having an outstanding all around game. KLS looks lost in the 2nd half.

I have to agree that her second half left me and others wanting. The only shots she made were after time had elapsed at the end of the 3rd quarter and then moments later, a millisecond after a foul call took away another three pointer, from her.

Are you really second guessing a guy with 11 National Championships?
 
In the NCAA Tournament, it is all about match ups. Had UCLA hit more 3's today, and, somehow outrebounded UCONN today the outcome could have different. I was duly impressed with UCONN's rebounding, just spectacular. I haven't seen many UCONN games this year, but I don't think KLS has missed that many open 3's in a long while? Jordan Canada was a difficult match-up for UCONN today, but Jordan didn't have a supporting cast, like is the case with UCONN. UCONN's starting 5 are unreal.

Baylor may very well prevail. It won't be the end of the world. UConn has had a terrific season win, lose or draw. Geno has stated several times that they've had to play a softer defense to prevent foul troubles.
 
MikeRO1950, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Are you sure you're a UConn fan. You sound more like a Baylor fan. The fact that they know they didn't play well, as someone already mentioned, bodes well for Monday night. Maybe you should move to Texas.
 
Have to say that UCLA was as athletic a team as UConn has faced all year, and extremely well coached. Credit to the Bruins. Happy the Huskies prevailed.

As for Oregon, another well- coached team, but not nearly as athletic as UCLA. I don't think they will pose as difficult a challenge.

Feeling very good about the Huskies heading to the FF.

Geez, won't these announcers pay attention to the game in progress in front of them.

I knew this ESPN tandem was going to be bad, but I didn't know it would be this bad! So much joviality and side-stories. Maybe they had a couple of quick beers between the two gaames.
 
Kia had 9 points, but she had 0 assists, 0 steals and 0 assists. Katie Lou had 6 turnovers and 1 point in the second half. They need to play much better, and Geno and the staff will make sure they know it. I believe in Kia and Katie Lou. Oregon isn't as athletic as UCLA; however, they need to keep Oregon from hitting 3s.
