Let's go, UConn!

3's are falling today...Kelly, Tiff, Bria

 

[RadyLady]

Nova......finally a miss

 

[Dairyair]

Thanks for coming Rady...it was getting pretty lonely on this thread!

How is your reception? Mine is stop-start and wavey.

 

[Dairyair]

We're really turning Nova over (ova?) today. They are the top team in not turning the ball over. I'd guess that was a big point of emphasis for us today.

Finally running some offense. Great team defense and finally a run.

 

[pppggg]

where is everybody? it's to cold to do anything but watch the Huskies at home!

 

[Dairyair]

21-2 UConn run...wow!

 

[tomcat]

Definitely loking better. This is one team against whom you can use the press. Disappointing Dolson again.

 

[Kevin G]

Gotta love Perretta

 

[Georgestarr7]

5-guard offense !?!?!!!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Louisville leading Rutgers 32-23 @ the half.

 

[UConnChapette]

Wow, quiet in here today! I am settling in for the second half after having a busy morning.

 

[Husky WBB Fan]

Wish we were not seeing these Nova come-backs after they get down and it looks like the UCONN run is on.

Will be interesting to see if Stef/Kiah make an appearance in second half. Also more of BB - got to learn sometime

 

[Dairyair]

Don't expect to see BB much more today. Stef and Kiah, yes

 

[Sonny44]

I'm in AZ.
Must be halftime?
Please send some scores yarders.

Why doesn't Stef setup in the low post?

Last possession Stef was wide open, defender at least 6 feet from her. It looked like two dribbles and she would be at the foul line for an easy shot.

 

[Husky WBB Fan]

Jeez - 41-36. Would have expected a little more fire and successful tactics coming out of the half

 

[Dairyair]

There's your low-post play, Wbb!

 

[Dairyair]

I hear lots of cheering for UConn at this game.

 

[EricLA]

glad no one's paying attention. i know 'nova is a tough team to play, but probably the worst game of the season so far for UCONN. up 5 midway thru the 2nd half to unranked Villanova? ugh.

i wonder if the coaches feel this is a worse performance than the FDU game, where they were completely disgusted. UCONN did have a great run in the 1st half where their defense as great...

 

[Husky WBB Fan]

Yes. Stef seems slower to the ball and plodding today. Maybe it's just the game flow - in typical Nova style

 

[Wbbfan1]

Nova running their offense, extending UConn's defense and getting wide open looks right before the shot clock expires. Have to admire Nova's passing in this 2nd half to get the open looks.

 

[Georgestarr7]

Playing great with KML line not so great with Dolson line
