Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4581492, member: 7171"] There was a good crowd at the game. Not a lot of students though, although I expect quite a few on Monday night when they are all back from their break. It looked there were non-students in part of the section normally reserved for students. It was also a little weird that the Vermont band was where the UConn band normally is and the UConn band was on the other end of the floor. It was great to see UConn extending the defense full court. They have not been able to do that up until now due to the short bench. The defense was very intense although the few hoops that Vermont scored in the first quarter appeared to be due to defensive mixups on switches. As has been noted, we gave up too many threes throughout the game, that is probably the only blemish in an otherwise great showing. I was watching Aubrey closely in warmups before the game and I thought she was moving a bit stiff. This was before she fell in the game. Our passing was terrific today. Nika of course, but really everyone. Nika`s feeds into the post are simply remarkable, the post players are getting the ball in perfect position most of the time. Occasionally she will force one inside but I can live with that. Aaliyah was totally dominant inside. She scored on drives, rebounds, jumpers, everything. She is playing at another level. They obviously had no answer. I could not understand why Vermont was allowing both Aaliyah and Dorka to drive to the right, almost like they were playing them to go left. They were just waltzing in uncontested much of the time. Caroline was moving and playing far better than she was a couple of weeks ago. Good sign. I think Ayanna is starting to put things together. She usually plays like she is holding her breath and I didn`t see that today. Watched the first half of the second game. Even though Alabama was up pretty big, I figured that Baylor would probably win. I would have preferred to face Alabama but I am not concerned about Baylor. We do need to guard the three point line against them though, as they made 14 against Alabama. (They also gave up 14.) [/QUOTE]
