#UConn has done nice job defensively on UCLA's leading scorer Nirra Fields so far. Fields is 1 of 7 from field and has 3 points

Score and time?

70-42 with 9 to go

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Score and time?

Lots and lots.

70-44, 8:29

UConn looking stronger now than in the first half.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Stokes really does make a difference in here. Blocks, rebounds, hustles. She just seems to energize the team.

 

[huskeynut]

72 - 44 UCONN.

A little over 7 minutes to go.

 

[calpedaler]

Stokes making things happen.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Jordin Canada is legit. This UCLA team may be a force in a year or two. They play hard.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

UConn shooting 55%. 80% from free-throw line.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Stokes making things happen.

She really has a nose for the ball. She knows where to be for rebounds.

Tuck for three!!!

76-44

 

[huskeynut]

Somebody has started a fire in Kiah!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Stewie with a steal and a clear lane to the basket. Now UConn is hustling after every loose ball.

78-46, 5:00. Stewie at the free throw line. Everybody in the bonus.

I agree. She is fun to watch, and I think the team will do some damage in the PAC10

Thank you, busy with holiday commitments.

Dave O'Brien going on about Geno being like John Wooden.
Good thing it's a blowout, otherwise our Southern friends who were still watching would all be committing suicide.

82-48 4:00 left

 

[huskeynut]

Kiah needs one rebound for a double-double.

 

[JellyBean]

Man we have some ballers on this team!! If we are focused and dialed in, nobody can beat us! UConn Huskies!!!

 

[huskeynut]

5 players in double figures for us.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Great bounce pass from Williams to Stokes a minute ago. Those two may be a good pairing. Then Gabby hits a turnaround jumper from ten feet. Gosh, I like her.

Yeah, but Rebecca is just after saying she's looking forward to the NCAA tournament because it's going to be more competitive. Lots of teams showing no quit.

 

[pinotbear]

TLaw and Polly in.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

86-50, 2:15. Time out UConn

 

[HuskiesU]

See that's the difference between Geno and other coaches. In a blowout he puts his bench players in bout 3 4 minutes left other coaches run up the score and put there bench players in at 40 seconds. Such class by Geno

 

[rvwsleep]

Productive bench today
Stokes 5 of 5, 9 rebs, 4 blocks, 10 pts
Williams 6 of 9, 7 rebs, 1 block , 12 pts
Chong 2 of 3, 2 assists 8 pts

 

[HuskiesU]

Kiah Stokes played great. She has so much potential just need to stay confident and focused

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Williams goes 6-10 and her shooting percentage drops. Had one go in and out though.

 

[EricSD]

Williams goes 6-10 and her shooting percentage drops. Had one go in and out though.

But I think she got her own rebound, right? So that number goes up LOL...

 

[Sluconn Husky]

The bench today (Chong, Stokes, Williams):

13-18, 30 points, 17 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 assists, 2 steals.

Or what rvwsleep said.

That is the most aggressive I have ever seen Kiah plays on the offensive end. Great game by Kiah.
