UConn vs USF game thread

[pap49cba]

Terrible call on Doty.

 

[EricLA]

USF was gassed, I dont understand why UConn didn't press them. They appeared to allow USF to set the pace in the last minutes.

lack of coaching adjustments?

 

[PacoSwede]

How many minutes did Kelly get in the half?

Any mention of injury or foul trouble?

Maybe because a few of the UConn players were gassed too as Geno made some subs during the next stoppage in play. Also, USF was breaking the press and hitting 3-pointers which is why he pulled back on the press in the first place.

Sloppy Game by Bria and Caroline is not playing well either.

 

[pap49cba]

USF shooting 43% from 3pt and Uconn 20%.

 

[UConnCat]

USF is still only hitting 33% of its shots and UConn is out-rebounding the bulls 23-10. The big issues are UConn turnovers and USF making six 3-pointers while UConn is shooting 2-10 from beyond the arc.

The defense needs to get out on the player from the Ukraine and force USF to make 2-point shots which it is hitting at a 25% pace in the game. Also, of course, Bria and Tiff need to stop turning the ball over.

 

[VAMike23]

I can't complain. UConn's gotten some calls.

True

 

[pap49cba]

Uconn with 11 turnovers to 6 for USF.

Geno made the adjustment to have a guard shadowing her close all over the court, but they have also been effective running her off some good screens, and she is 6'4" so unless someone helps or you can get through the screen and get up in the air fast, it's very hard to stop this girl.

Very tall player [6'4"] + with excellent mobility + uncanny shooting ability + effective screens = difficult defensive task

The turnovers (Tiff 5 , Bria 3) are definitely hurting.

 

[Aluminny69]

Orekhova is 4 for 10 on threes

 

[Icebear]

What the heck are you guys doing? I miss the first half and this is what I come home to.

 

[Icebear]

Stef sounds hot.

Okay, Icebear, bring on the Instant Karma

 

[Icebear]

Caroline playing well.

 

[Icebear]

Up 7

 

[VAMike23]

USF guard impress me with their confidence and aggressiveness

 

[Icebear]

Up 9

 

[HuskyNan]

Bria has gotten away with a few walks. Not her day today but Stef has picked up the slack.

and a few carries (as usual... )

Stef has cut down on her hesitation; it's helping immensely. Much more of an attacking mindset

 

[VAMike23]

Kelly with a rare 3rd foul early in the 2nd. All 3 of her fouls have been un Kelly like

 

[Icebear]

Up 10

 

[HuskyNan]

Kelly has made some uncharacteristic fouls and gotten burned defensively this game. SU wasn't great game for her either. Flu?

 

[HuskyNan]

Defense is definitely perkier this half.

 

[Icebear]

Huge block.
