USF Game Thread

[Sluconn Husky]

They are well-coached and get up for UConn. Not that big of a mystery.

Doesn't mean UConn has to take such poor shots and make such bad decisions. Let SF play their hair is on fire; no reason to join them in that frenzy.

 

[Blueballer]

Looks fine physically to me. Her decision-making has been terrible.

Not at full speed for her and her lateral movement is still not fully back to her ususal blinding speed.

 

[Blueballer]

Typical USF game. They always play us tough.

 

[HuskyNan]

Agreed. Not sure what it is about USF that seems to unhinge UCONN and they play uncharacteristic. I want to say it's because USF is so good, but they constantly stay ranked in the 20-25 range with mystifying losses. Yet against UCONN they look like a FF team...

USF is a good shooting team and they take, and make, good shots. This year they have Laksa, previously there was another foreign player that hit 3s at a ridiculous pace. As Peck has said (ad nauseum) you need to make shots to have a chance to beat UConn. Usually the Huskies can fluster teams into rushed shots but the Bulls are well coached and don't fluster.

tyvm. It aint much,. but it's all I've got down here. I did get the USF audio, though.

Nan; could you post the url for the gametracker? I can't find the damn thing.

Well, I guess there's still Stewart, Tuck, Williams & Chong

Chong hasn't played

Chong hasn't played yet. Neither has Butler or Ekmark. Doesn't look like Geno has confidence in them in big games.

I've only seen USF a half-dozen times or so, but it seems that Ferreira takes enough quick (or bad) shots to keep any opponent around. There must be something about her that I'm failing to credit. She gets a lot of minutes.

I was amused at the game opening when a USF player was said to be from "Lisbon, Spain."

I click "stats" on the right window and "game flow" on the left.

I don't see it. She missed one game that she would've played had the game been important. And that game was 5 days ago.

Another sh&tty half of basketball by this team coming off the Houston Game. What's with the love of the 3 point shot instead of running offense. KLS should not be guarding Courtney as frequently as she did in the 1st half. I'd rather see Geno go with his bigs of Stewart, Morgan and Butler to go with Moriah and Ki at guard. Get the ball to the low post and score easy baskets.

 

[EricLA]

Why no Chong? Can't be that Geno has "no confidence" in her as she has played terrific lately and can't be any worse than Jefferson has been in the 1st half...

 

[Zorro]

This board is sounding more and more like Volnation.

 

[Wiltonian]

You have choices of "game action"/"shots"/"game Flow" on the left window.

UConn had SF blown out all three times by halftime last year. SF had two nice second halves after the games were decided. This game is nothing like those so far.

 

[HuskyNan]

USF is ranked but people don't want to give them any credit for affecting the game.

 

[FairView]

UConn shots have not been falling lately. Some is due to USF, but lots are just shots that normally fall are not falling.

 

[Blueballer]

I disagree. Did you see the last game? She was really affected in that game. Have to wonder if she would have sat if Tuck didn't.

Yes, I use gametracker all the time since I am out of the country. I just could not find it today for some reason. Got it now and thanks.

 

[TitleTown]

Nurse can't make a layup

 

[HuskyNan]

The Huskies' offensive rebounding is...non-existant.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Laksa back to back 3s, 35-34 7:22 3rd

 

[Tenspro2002]

Don't like going zone against a team whose only chance is to make a ton of 3's.
