UConn vs. Villanova Game Thread

Mark is doing a good job

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

They are playing Villanova. It is ALWAYS ugly.

 

[Sonny44]

Are they keeping score?

back to the 5 guards and Nova cans a 3 to make it 45-39. OK we came back with a 3, but please let's get a rebound or TO - which BB does. 4 U Sonny

Roberts another CT player having a good game against their home state school. Wish Geno would sign some of these kids instead of some of the out-of-State players that ride the pine.

i still do not get how 'nova is shooting almost 50% from beyond the arc. i can't see the game but UCONN knows 'nova has no inside game, and it's like UCONN has no idea 'nova launches a bunch of 3's. the radio announcers are saying 'nova is passing really well, but that UCONN simply isn't defending the 3 well enough. is that true for what you guys are seeing?

Grazie Husky WBB Fan.

Sonny: some breathing space 50-39 and we have the ball

Sup fellow Husky fans. Man, we need Hayes to have games like this the rest of the year.

I hear lots of cheering for UConn at this game.

Cheering by Cicero H.S. team and Breana Stewart, I'd bet!!!

Nice!

That was an ugly shot from Kelly that was way long. Villanova really does get into their heads and makes them play ugly.

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...

Geno will be glad to get out with a win...in fact, he'll just be happy to have this game behind him. I doubt if the coaches will be "disgusted"--it's Nova, as someone mentioned above

Gosh it is ugly, and still 50-39.

Brianna Banks is the new Tiffany...she has seen a lot of the floor today

 

[Aluminny69]

53-42 6:41 left

 

[Wbbfan1]

You knew Ban ks was going to take that shot when she didn't pass the ball to a wide open Tiff. The foul bailed her out.

 

[tomcat]

Tiffany if bringing a lot to the game today. On another note, I've seen exactly one good pass to the inside post today.

 

[Aluminny69]

UConn 13 assists on 22 baskets

VU 15 assists on 15 baskets!

 

[Husky WBB Fan]

Ouch - BB missing 2 foul shots - and she was at about .88. When it goes bad it just goes bad.

 

[Aluminny69]

Hayes 7-12 17 points


Make that 8-13 20 points!

 

[Dairyair]

20 for Tiff

 

[JellyBean]

Tiff has the hot hand...20 pts

 

[JellyBean]

This is the Tiff that I like to see. Getting nice looks...and the shots are falling for her...good job, Tiff
