UConn vs. USF Game Thread

[Fairfield Fan]

USF was also without their second best scoring option. If we have a rematch next Monday and Laksa is available that might keep things a little closer than tonight. And of course there's a chance we get to play them a fourth time in the NCAA tournament.

What happened to Laksa?

What happened to Laksa?

I think she had an ankle or some kind of leg injury. USF has had some injuries lately. Laksa has had some 30 point games this season, so not having her last night put them at a disadvantage, though if we play the whole game like we did the 3rd quarter it won't matter.

Poor officiating early in the game.Two bogus calls on Lou, one bad one against Moriah. With 3 fouls, Mo couldn't be Mo, so her play in the first half was somewhat tentative. A different story in the 3rd Quarter. And Lou sat a lot of the Q2, but now she's relaxed and playing very well.

I seriously doubt the refs are fixing the matches. It's WCBB, not boxing.

The refs called a few ticky tack fouls on both teams but overall they were OK. The Huskies were slow and got caught out of position too many times in the first half and resorted to reaching in instead of playing from a good defensive position. Refs were not a factor.

My take the evening - obviously Courtney Williams is a shooting machine but even the best of them run out of steam eventually, especially when you're being dogged the way she was and you have to play those kind of minutes. For all intents and purposes the starting 5 for USF played the entire game (one small exception) and it showed in how the shooting percentages went way down as the game progressed and how USF had to slow the game down and spent time dribbling and not really running any sort of plays. If they have to do this through the conference tournament you'll see if show up on Monday night.

I really hope it's not Cincy.
