Kia Nurse... is good at basketball.

No Gabby.... fouls are death.

 

[Zorro]

[TitleTown]

Need to start getting the ball in the paint.

Aaaaaaaand here we go. UCLA will start to get a lot tighter now...

 

[TitleTown]

We can't get any touches in the paint. Not a good sign.

 

[JordyG]

This is a team its going to take a while to figure out.

When the Bruins substitute in Hersler and Kornet the Huskies need to take advantage.

I may need a beer - or vodka.

They're going to challenge our shot making. Once we get going from outside it will open up a bit, but everyone knows you have to pack the paint because of Gabby and Collier - that's really the only way to slow down this team.

This is also a UCLA team that is playing without fear. To beat them you're going to have to put that fear into their hearts.

What I think is UConn is starting to find their rhythm. UCLA is pretty athletic and they were back on their heels for a minute but I'm getting more comfortable now.

 

[JordyG]

Canada has some sweet 1 on 1 moves. UCLA is going to need them.

They just gave us their best punch and we're winning. Believe me...they have fear...

Pretty... but don't mess with the hair mojo.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Chong for 3!!! 16-11 2:48 1st

 

[Zorro]

Ka-chong!!

 

[Blueballer]

10 sec? the other team had possession for a sec.

 

[JordyG]

UCLA has been picking UConn up very high banking on their length and athleticism stopping the entry passes.

 

[Zorro]

The cream is starting to rise!

10 sec? the other team had possession for a sec.

Yeah was thinking the same thing possession didn't seem established
