#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.

...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.

Guess this one came to play:

.@bre_stewart30 had 5 blocks in 18 minutes in the first half. She had 8 in 246 minutes through the first 8 games. #UConn

The Stewie turn around has begun!

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

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

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.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Shooting 55% to UCLA's 33%.

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. KML has such a pretty release on that shot and she caught the pass in rhythm. Shooters love that stuff!!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Gabby Williams has been a major reason for any runs UConn has gone off on in this game. She's some kind of talent.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Amusing myself by looking for Gabby's tattoo now. . .

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Oh. Now I see it.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Lots of Williams, not much Stokes today. Think Geno has found a new fav.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Wow. All of Kaleena's attempts have been threes.

They want to drive and shoot in the paint, though. That seems to be the focus this year and last year.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

It might have something to do with speed and athleticism.

Stokes came in and did her "stopper" thing - she is super valuable. Williams needs the minutes. What a joy to watch, too!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Maybe. Might also have something to do with Williams making things happen all over the court.

 

[Hongster]

Looking real good the last few minutes. Gabby with an awesome put back.

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. That was a weak call for a foul.

Saving the best for last.

 

[Vowelguy]

beautiful pass from nurse to stokes

Score and time?
