i wonder if stokes is back in the doghouse - i get a big matchup is not a good one vs. 'nova, but zero minutes for her? engeln in and no stokes...

I was just thinking the same thing, Eric...I couldn't remember if Kiah had been in or not...I need a better TV! lol
 
Kelly Faris is a "do-it" all type of player. I love that kid. We need a good defensive stop, call Kelly.
 
Just not many post player minutes today is my guess. Minutes for BB. KML has has some success. Finally up by 20+ although giving them a last second 3 stinks. 49-72 final Sonny

A little ugly at times, but still a nice 23 point win by the team.
 
well buck and johnson in but no stokes. guess she's in the doghouse...
 
Glad we got that out of our system. Need to play better Monday night!
 
Good win, UConn!! We gotta figure out ways to get Tiff going. If she plays like this, nobody can stop us. U-C-O-N-N. UConn! UConn! UConn!!!!

Sure true. We can not have any ND moments. We gotta close out teams and keep that door closed.

Odd note: I could watch hoopstreams in Jamaica, but I can't listen to WTIC. How odd is THAT!

Yeah, I think you're right. Too bad - seems like after one escapes the dog house one would work really hard not be have to go back

i'll listen to the post game with Chris Dailey and see if they ask her about it. i know with 'nova playing 4 guards, it's hard to put bigs in the game, but not to get in ahead of engeln, johnson or buck... :(

What a game by Bria Hartley! 50 percent shooting fom the field and from 3-point. Seven assists, four steals against a team that doesn't turn the ball over very much. Good job!
 
Stef with 4 pts and 3 rebounds in 17 min.

Very mysterious to me. I hope this doesn't define her career.

tHANKS YOU VERY MUCH; SORRY IT WASN'T THAT ENJOYABLE but my prediction was 72 - 44, not too bad.
 
The post play today just looked wrong, except for, of all things, some Kelly Faris action inside. Tiff any had a fine game, and Kelly was terrific as well. Interesting that Heather got in forabout a minute and came up with a steal. I know that playing time is a function of how well you do in practice, and maybe she's been stinking it up lately and thus has no earned time, but if the issue is Stef's

I'm sure Kiah could have done that well.
Maybe they're benching the wrong player [they do look a lot alike, right?].
 
Stef really needs to wake up. She was sleep walking today against a team with NO inside presence. And what is up with her foul line shot? She is about 3 for the season.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the fact she didn't play today. As Meghan said during the game, Geno wanted to go with the 5 guard rotation today against a small 'Nova team. Stef played only 17 minutes and Heather 1. The pressure defense of 5 guards really paid off. I expect a different look against NC and I expect Kiah will get some good minutes there.

To me, Steff looks like she has gotten out of the physical shape she got into last year. She seems slow to react and then plodding in her movements. I hear people talk about her being in good condition, but it just does not look that way to me. Her shooting does not seem to have the confidence or smoothness it had the second 1/2 of last year. I'm hoping I'm missing something, but what I see now does not seem as good as what I remember from last year. I hear (and see) that the defense is hanging on her, but there have been clear scoring openings she has not taken and wide open rebounds she has not moved on. Perhaps it is just the high post positioning that is making her seem so uncomfortable in her overall game?

Kiah seems like a really nice kid and a good athlete, if she can just get more aggressive/assertive that would help. She smiles a lot during games - probably drives a coach crazy. But then too, Tina always smiled a lot early and she turned out to be an amazing player, though very gifted athletically right from the start.
