UConn vs UCLA game thread

[JordyG]

Some uncharacteristic stuff UConn is doing.

I'm of a differing of opinion - there is no flow yet in this game for the Huskies.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Once UConn stops getting out-hustled they'll be fine.

You wonder if some of that is the thinking that they can't get into foul trouble?

 

[JordyG]

Right now UConn is leading through execution and poise.

We're out-rebounding them 11-5. Nice try...

22-13 end 1st

Boneheaded foul by UCLA leads to 3 extra points to end the quarter for UConn.

 

[JordyG]

Nice box out executed by Pheese for the 2.

I'm not sure they were ready for the intensity UCLA brought early.

 

[BigBird]

So... multiplying it out, we win by 36. Maybe or maybe not.

Baskets in the Paint after 1
UCLA 4
UConn 3

Huskies must do better than that.

It's been choppy but I'm starting to see the Bruins starting to foul and that may have an affect on them. UConn is slowly getting back to themselves and their passing is getting much crisper. Ball movement helps them immensely.

We are in BIG trouble ladies and gentleman!

You're funny!

I don't know, I think it's just jitters myself. A lot of teams play them with great intensity in the first half until they run out of gas.

Quickness off your feet is a big advantage for UConn.

UConn gets jitters?

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

She does, but if she tries to do too much it will hurt in the long run.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Chong has improved her rebounding so much this last part of the season.

 

[JellyBean]

Good grief. My wife is/was in a panic when UConn was down 9-2. I was like "relax, babe. 1. It's the 1st quarter. 2). Our girls (UConn) has the heart of a champion..plus a high bball IQ. We r okay. Relax."

 

[mntncougar]

I'd love to see Pheesa with that pony-tail - AFTER the game.

Sitting so close, I realize thst Lou probably is one of those people who have to work to keep her weight up. May help to explain why she seems to get sick so often.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Crystal Dangerfield in for Chong

Don't forget as great as they've played there are a LOT of players on this version of The Huskies who haven't played important roles in a sweet sixteen.

Interesting sequence to end the quarter. Bruins had a chance to cut the lead a bit going out of the quarter .missed their shot. Dumb foul puts Saniya on the line with five seconds in the quarter. She hits the first shot, and Collier grabs the rebound and puts it back for two as time expires. Basically a five point swing in the last six seconds.

 

[Buzzyboy]

A horrific pass by Nurse

Gabby goes coast to coast.

 

[UConnDan97]

Look at that ball movement...

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS for 3!!! 29-15 7:54 2nd
