UConn vs. USF — Game Thread

[Blue Huskie]

REALLY entertaining game. Lots of fun watching the bench draining treys too!

"Why was Napheesa so dominant tonight?" Well her shot looked more like last year's than that new herky jerky motion she's had much of this year.

Not sure about "dominate" but she moved well and got many great passes for layups. Was the key the pass or the layup?

Does anyone know what happened to Jazz Bond, Crystal Dangerfield’s high school teammate?

She transferred to the University of Northern Florida

I wonder if we can get Jose’s post game presser? The phrase “shock and awe” come to mind. I sort of expect a Carver Lipton quote from Band of Brothers when describing the German bombing at Battle of th Bulge....

Last years loss to UConn at 102-37 that was shock and awe. This was just awe.

Slightly off topic but

Heard on the radio post game show

East Carolina was at Memphis today.

Every fan in attendance received a free giveaway item. What was it?

A spatula!

I nearly fell off my chair laughing-- come watch our team play and we'll give you free kitchenware!

Hey at least there's gender equivalency. 40 years ago the women would have gotten a spatula and the men a screwdriver.

Lol, not out of ordinary for Memphis....they do lots of BBQ grilling down there I hear.

Got a real kick out of the several videos of the bench as the subs hit 3s. Lots of whooping it up there.

 

[JustinesGuy]

I was surprised to see who was still out there to end the 3rd quarter.

And Geno keeps Lou out there mid way thru 4th. Crazy right??!! As she takes a hard hit driving to the basket. Then he put Molly in. No Coombs no Lexi.

Most of her baskets were within 5 feet. Weren't many opportunities for the elbow-out shot but I still saw it a couple times.

Seems to me the USF starters have been playing for Jose for about 5 years now. Did I hear Meg Culmo say Laksa is a Junior?

I think the bench must of been reading the Boneyard, they had enough and kicked ass tonight.

Can you blame them? The boneyard does make for excellent reading.

 

[Carnac]

I can’t help but wonder if Laksa has ever put up a goose egg in a game in her entire basketball career before tonight’s game.

I doubt she'll sleep well tonight. She has to be thoroughly frustrated

 

[Gus Mahler]

She transferred to the University of Northern Florida

She's migrating north.

 

[Carnac]

I'm in the Sun Dome watching the warmups.

Did you get your moneys worth?

 

[dtbtbtb]

Is there anyone waiting for Kia to graduate more than Laksa

 

[dtbtbtb]

USF might win against UConn one day, but not today...not today

 

[Carnac]

Pheesa is still pheesa ..my girl

No Kaizen, our girl!!

 

[chrissaran]

Talk about a complete ass kicking. Tonight was it. Incredible defensive effort. Way to go Molly. I've been very critical of Molly. Hopefully, her performance will carry through the rest of the year. Go Huskies. I was at the game. It's funny how quickly the crowd was taken out of the game. Total domination. Kia, you were like glue on Laksa.

 

[oldude]

She's migrating north.

She also changed coasts from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Coast

 

[Sluconn Husky]

She was blanked one other time against another pretty good defense, Mississippi State two years ago.

 

[Carnac]

Yes, the GM's in the W. They're all wearing bibs.

 

[Carnac]

I think I'm kind of angry at Geno right now.

Ok, I'll bite, why?

 

[oldude]

I’m going to start referring to you as “STATMAN.” I see that Laksa did not start that game, played 23 minutes and was 0-2, so all things considered, this was a much worse experience for her tonight against the Huskies.

 

[JordyG]

When Lou got her second foul I started yelling at the screen to take her out. When Z came in I thought it was for Lou. It wasn't. After all, there was only 1:50 left in the quarter I think. We all saw what happened next.

I think she had a 1-14 or something game too. She's like that. Can go 8-8 from three or miss everything. That said, Nurse's effort tonight was about as determined as any I can recall.

 

[chrissaran]

JordyG, I can't agree more. I was at the game, and I was yelling to take Katie Lou out. The third foul was a bad call, but had Lou not been in the game, there would have been no third foul. With Lou out, the offense got bogged down. Fortunately, USF couldn't score either.

 

[Carnac]

This is an entertaining game, no?

The second best first quarter they've had this season. They had 49 against somebody after the first 10 minutes.

 

[Carnac]

Nah. Just an improved CD and Meg with CW and ONO thrown in for good measure. Of course, Jesperson Flores, and Ferreira won't be there either.

It would be interesting to hear the thoughts of the USF bench players that were looking at UConn in person for the first time. Shock and awe at least.

 

[Carnac]

I sense an early effort to influence the post game vote

It worked, she's got my vote.
