Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 3461230, member: 293"] First the announcers dominated the game, now they're dominating the post-game thread! :confused: A couple thoughts on the game... 1) It has been really interesting to see the team develop over the season. They looked so [I]ordinary[/I] at first and were underplaying their ranking by a lot IMO. Kyla was holding down the 5th starter spot to the best of her ability until very talented, but shaky freshman Anna was mentally ready to play UConn basketball with consistency. Kudos to both these kids for their work all season. Anna has made the kind of progress you usually see only between seasons. I think UConn may be playing at close to their ranking level now. 2) The AAC is really awful for a team at UConn's level. I'd be curious to know if anyone thinks that the Big East will be any better. 3) I might have missed it being called out already, but the play of the game need a mention in this thread... the fast break at about 2:30 of the 1st quarter (15:30 of the replay) was A THING OF BEAUTY!! Meg to CD to Anna to CD no look to Liv to Aubrey, BUCKET! One dribble at the start of the break then all passing to the bucket the whole squad rightfully happy running off the court for USF's timeout. Geno looked pretty pumped about it also. 3a) One side note, USF #4 started signalling a walk on CD near the end of the break instead of focusing on the play, and Aubrey went to the bucket behind her. It was not a walk, but maybe a learning moment for the player. I'm sure it was understandable frustration, but you have to play till the play is over. [/QUOTE]
