UConn vs. USF Game Thread

[HuskyNan]

Run the offense, don't chuck up threes!

Kia!

 

[HuskyNan]

Thank you, Kia!

Man we've been terrible in the paint lately

 

[Zorro]

Disturbing trend that we continue to get outplayed out of the gate against inferior competition, even at home.

We fall behind by 10 points in the first quarter against Notre Dame, there won't be a comfortable pull-away in the second half.

There might be.

 

[HuskyNan]

Wow.

3 on Lou...this is getting bad

 

[TitleTown]

UConn 9 fouls at home
USF 2 fouls

Refs have decided they'd like to make a little history tonight.

 

[bags27]

Definitely, the way to stress us is guard play. that was true in Dec, and it's esp. true now.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tonight will be a night for Saniya and Ekmark to shine with all these fouls starting to pile up.

Rule #1: Never foul a jump shot...

 

[JellyBean]

Man these refs are calling some ticky-tack fouls. But with that being said, South Florida is playing some great basketball right now. We just have to hold steady and wait for South Florida to mess up.

 

[Zorro]

9 fouls on UConn, 2 on USF. What gives?

 

[HuskyNan]

If Stewie hit half of those point blank layups she's missed, UConn would have the lead.

I'd like to see some offensive rebounding. Boxing out has been poor tonight.

 

[TitleTown]

USF is really going to pack in the paint now with Samuelson on the bench.

They're going to beat us eventually. It's the law of large numbers. When you play a team 3 times a season, something fluky is going to happen one of those times. Good chance we seem them again one week from tonight.

Can't blame the refs for UCONN's crappy play. they are a step slow and it's forcing them to play with their hands and bodies instead of moving their feet. Our starters are looking terrible.

Is Geno working the refs? If not then he's not disagreeing with the disparity.

Half a step quicker - and two charges...

 

[huskeynut]

There's alid on the bucket for us.

 

[Wbbfan1]

TEam can't get any easy baskets in the low post. Had their chances missed point blank shots.

If Ekmark and Chong have to play significant minutes, that's not a good sign for UConn. They can't keep up with USF guards.

 

[Orangutan]

Biggest thing for USF is that they are not in awe of UConn. They are playing relatively calmly.

Eventually Uconn's class will show through but USF will make them earn it.

 

[HuskyNan]

Half a step quicker - and two charges...

Three charges, two by Mo, one by Napheesa.

 

[HoopsFan21]

We can't get within 10 ft of the basket, and if we do we miss the layup.
