UConn vs UCLA Game Thread

[Samanthabrown3]

UCLA is going to be really good once those freshmen get to be sophomores.

 

[sawxfan23]

The only reason UCLA is in this game is because of hustle.

Ooooo Geno takes a shot at all of the negative nellies on the Boneyard.

 

[EricSD]

Maybe Geno was wrong. Maybe a practice between games would've been better.

Can't really disagree there. 13 minutes in and UCONN has a 6 point lead in a game they should win handily. I can see it taking UCONN 10 minutes or so to get their "sea legs" but it's time to go on a run!!

What do you mean, Meyers?

And our shooting %

UCLA is outworking UConn for EVERY loose ball.

I remain confused as to why she's the first off the bench. Stokes does far more than she does and I'd rather see Stokes come in for Jefferson and have Nurse and KML shift over to the guard spots...

I think Geno knows if she gets straightened out it will be a big plus. When she is in I follow her around and every aspect of today has been disappointing; I hope that changes. She is overthinking/hesitating.

If Chong is not going to shoot the ball she shouldn't be on the court.

It wears me out just watching them.

Something amazing must have just happened with Gabby!

His little Merry Christmas thing.

DePaul was soft and couldn't defend. This Bruin team is much, much tougher and harder to play against.

Good hustle on opposing defense will do that.

 

[HGN]

Too many lazy passes......UCLA very active with their hands.

 

[EricSD]

Go Gabby Williams! Goodness is that girl going to be terrific. She's already really fun to watch. As soon as she "figures it out", I think she will be special...

But Geno needs to have a serious discussion at halftime about effort on the court. We should not be getting "out-hustled" by UCLA...

 

[Sluconn Husky]

UConn not handling the zone well, not getting good shots, settling for threes. Need ball and player movement.

 

[semper]

0 for Tuck; 0 for k. ?

 

[Blue Huskie]

Good hustle on opposing defense will do that.

But they've missed a lot of open shots

 

[MilfordHusky]

How awesome is it having a kid like Stokes come in and instantly impact the game? 3 boards and 2 points in her first few minutes. Love this kid. Wish she'd get 30 MPG...

I'm not sure about Kiah, but there are some Kias that get 30 mpg.

 

[meyers7]

There you go Chong.

 

[sawxfan23]

That's it Chong! Shoot that thing.

 

[EricSD]

There it is... there's the run I was calling for!!

 

[semper]

Where is it? I missed it. Can you 'splain?

 

[semper]

And now up by 18! 20-38

 

[semper]

Too bad about those last two baskets. 25-40.

 

[j66kicker]

Channeling Rady Lady, Geno said everyone should take a couple days over the holidays to forget about all the things we complain about and appreciate the things we do have, things that are right.

 

[meyers7]

Where is it? I missed it. Can you 'splain?

He said lots of people complaining. Be nice if for a couple days around Christmas, people would look around and appreciate the good things they have.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I'm not sure why they're not guarding UCLA's only shooter Korver, but the Bruins would rarely score if they would do so.

Five blocked shots for #UConn's Breanna Stewart. She's three shy of 200 in her career
