Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4580903, member: 5798"] One of the things I wanted to chime in on was [B]the production of the bench[/B] today, [B]29 points[/B]. Everybody got in and everybody scored. UConn set the tone during the first quarter. [B]Vermont was never in this game[/B]. I guess the Vermont coach had her reasons for waiting until there was less than a minute to go to clear her bench. She could have cleared it at the 5-minute mark in the 4th quarter. It wouldn't have made any difference. The fat lady did her number during the halftime break and was gone before the players came back out on the floor. The Vermont bench players weren't out there long enough to break a sweat. I would have liked to see Amari (the last UConn player off the bench) out there a little sooner also. :confused: [B]This game was over at the half[/B], and I think she knew it. What we saw today was exactly what most of us expected to see against a vastly over-matched opponent. Vermont is not in UConn's class, which is probably why Geno doesn't schedule them in his OOC lineup. Monday's game won't be as easy, but that's OK. It was assumed that this was just a "tune-up" for the 2nd round game against (Alabama/Baylor) a much more worthy opponent. This game provided us a chance to shake off any lingering rust, and a chance to get their timing back in sync. This was a fun game to watch. I hope UConn can look this good Monday with the same results. :cool: [/QUOTE]
