UConn vs. USF Game Thread

Stewie with the put back and one!

 

[Hongster]

Stewie is a monster inside.

UCONN has outscored USF 20-3 since the 8 minute mark (8 minutes left in the half).

 

[HoopsFan21]

Put in TLaw!!!

 

[huskeynut]

Gabby is having a game

 

[Hongster]

Gabby has gotten the hang of playing defense. I like.

 

[HoopsFan21]

46-23 half

 

[EricLA]

Couple of 3 pointers given up by UCONN's defense to Stringfield. Still, a really solid half - up by 23 points. I can see the 2nd half being closer as seems to happen as often as not when we have big leads, but a really solid 1st half especially given that Stokes and Tuck were in foul trouble and sat on the bench...

Rebecca is waffling now on her pick of Loyd for POY - says Jewell was her "mid season" pick. Now we're at, "Stewart and Loyd are the two best players in the country."

Only 1 made 3 for KML. Hope she has a great 2nd half in 3 point shooting. That hasn't been the trend lately.

 

[Hongster]

Yeah! I would love to see KML getting closer to that record. Go KML!!!!!!!!

 

[Hongster]

The cheerleaders!!!

 

[EricLA]

Not a good start to the 2nd half. Not unusual though. USF came out to start the 2nd half on fire!

 

[Hongster]

Uconn need to pick up the intensity here.

 

[BearJWS]

Stewie shoulda had an over the back foul called on her for that last rebound... Over Tuck's back, but no call...

This is some ridiculous, appalling Mickey Mouse crap. I am unleashing a loud, unrelenting string of vile expletives at home. There is too much riding on what we hope are the next six games to be playing like this. I'm disappointed we knew what to expect from USF but have allowed it just the same. Yes, we have time to turn this second half around. I'd love to see that happen.

 

[Hongster]

MOJEFF with a BOOST!!!!!!!!!

 

[EricLA]

12 assists on 27 made baskets? That's either a TON of steals with layups and offensive rebounds with putbacks, or a bunch of 1 on 1 stuff that we don't generally do...

 

[BearJWS]

USF is not playing intimidated... And I like it. They are moving the ball well on offense & are creating shots for themselves. Not always making them, but getting shots off. Most teams would have given up by now but USF has some fight in them. They're getting crushed inside but otherwise, they've looked good to me. They're playing better than some of the ranked we have faced. I think if they play like this in the NCAA's they could possibly make to the Round of 16.

 

[EricLA]

Wow the 2nd half is just a hot mess...

 

[Hongster]

USF is playing tough, I think they found a new way to score on Uconn.

Round of 16? They play like this, they will make the final 8 and if they do not find UConn in the way, the final 4

 

[CTGirl15]

This is very, very messy basketball from UConn. Too much standing around on offense and when they do pass it, no one can hold onto the ball. I don't know what they are trying to do in this game, but it is not working at all.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Remind any1 of the Stanford game, USF guards blowing by UConn's Defense for Easy Layups

 

[Huskies Rule]

UConn's play very disappointing. If I'm a potential NCAA opponent watching this game I'm thinking I can beat the Huskies. That Williams kid is as good an athlete as I've seen this year.
