Kia Nurse... is good at basketball.

 

[psconn]

No Gabby.... fouls are death.

 

[Zorro]

Nurse to Bridgeport! STAT!!!

 

[TitleTown]

Need to start getting the ball in the paint.

 

[Blue Huskie]

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...

Open jitters are gone. Team is getting down to business.

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

 

[HoopsFan21]

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

 

[Zorro]

Ka-chong!!

 

[Blue Huskie]

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!

 

[HoopsFan21]

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

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