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...

 

[EricLA]

Chong refusing to shoot.

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...

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

Huskies being out-hustled by a team playing for the third time in four days.

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.

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 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.

 

[sawxfan23]

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

It wears me out just watching them.

 

[semper]

Something amazing must have just happened with Gabby!

 

[meyers7]

What do you mean, Meyers?

His little Merry Christmas thing.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

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

 

[sawxfan23]

Good hustle on opposing defense will do that.

 

[HGN]

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

 

[EricLA]

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

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