There you go Chong.

 

[sawxfan23]

That's it Chong! Shoot that thing.

 

[EricLA]

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

His little Merry Christmas thing.

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.

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.

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.

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

 

[Sluconn Husky]

KML, Tuck, Jefferson a combined 4-11, 9 points, 4 TO.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

That's better.

#UConn made 15 of its final 22 shots of the 1st half.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Shooting 53%. Rebounds even at 19, assists 13 for UConn, 6 for other guys. 8 blocks, mostly by Stewie.

 

[j66kicker]

KML, Tuck, Jefferson a combined 4-11, 9 points, 4 TO.

...and we're up by 20 at halftime. Too many weapons for UCLA

 

[j66kicker]

15....

Oops - rounding error

 

[Sluconn Husky]

UConn needs better ball and player movement. They started to convert once that happened late in the half. Williams was a huge part of that. But unless KML, Tuck, and Moriah get more involved the offense is going to struggle.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Guess this one came to play:
Rich Elliott ‏@elliottctpost 5m5 minutes ago
.@bre_stewart30 had 5 blocks in 18 minutes in the first half. She had 8 in 246 minutes through the first 8 games. #UConn

 

[semper]

The Stewie turn around has begun!

What ya talking about? KML's touch creates basket. Did you see her penetrating and dish?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Korver's cousin led the NBA in 3-point shooting a couple of times. It's a family thing.

 

[sawxfan23]

How many rebounds can we get outhustled on?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

You couldn't have two more contrasting styles in DePaul and UCLA. Not easy to go from playing a soft, no defense team to one scrapping on every possession. That said, UConn has done a lot of silly things.

Kia Nurse has scored in double digits in all seven games she has started at #UConn

 

[JellyBean]

Just tuning in. We are winning, that is all that matters. I have to read up on the comments to catch a glimpse of the game up until now.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Yes! Two quick, tough baskets, and we're ahead by 22.
