Kelly spots Caroline for the trailing 3! 70-38 UConn with 17 to go!

Holy cow, someone record the halftime speech

Thanks guys/gals for te posts! I got home with 10 mins left in te ist half and read all of the posts.

Is it possible that Geno decided to let them continue to play this way as a learning experience??? I would think that if he really gave them * during the ist half and said no more 3s there would have been no more threes! Or if he took out anyone who took a 3 after they kept putting them up even if he took out 4 players anyone who took one? Can you play with less than 5??

I think you can if players foul out or get injured! Can you do that to make a point?

Defensively,he could have done that also. Maybe we would have been playing one on 5! I know he says sometimes I am going to let them work it out! In an exhibition game maybe he and the coaches were waiting to the half to ream them out?

I wouldnt be surprised if they come out and play defense with passion. Just some thoughts as I am dependent on the posts in this game. I am going to watching all of the game after this one!

Husky vision is cool - during the breaks you can hear Joe talking to his stats people. He may not realize we are able to hear him and his comments are illuminating at times...

Kelly with a 3! 73-38

EDIT: UConn steal and Caroline with the fast break 2! 75-38

 

[RadyLady]

I believe that's the second 3 for Kelly?

 

[Phil]

17-0 start

Dolson scores through the triple team and gets the foul call. She hits it and UConn is up 67-38

Ah, through a triple team. That's maybe why there have been a lot of perimeter shots.

 

[UCONNfan1]

Great play by Stef pushing her player away from the basket, then the pass was over hear head towards the hoop, she kept it over her head and would have had a hoop if she wasn't hacked.

 

[Phil]

The Holy family wheels coming off

 

[CTGirl15]

Dolson fouled under the basket and hits both FTs for the 77-38 lead.

Doty 3 and UConn up 80-38.

Stewie under the basket for 2. 82-38

 

[RadyLady]

Beautiful long pass from Dolson from beyond the arc to Stewie in the paint for 2. I thoght she was going to shoot the 3!

 

[UCONNfan1]

OMG Dolson to Stewart was gorgeous. 5 minutes into the 2nd half and HF hasn't scored yet. Whoever said "tape the half time speech" was spot on LOL...

 

[UCONNfan1]

24-0 run to start the 2nd half.

 

[pap49cba]

I believe HF finished last season ranked #6 in DII. They are not patsies.

 

[UConnCat]

That Stewart kid is pretty good.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Is that 24-0?

 

[UCONNfan1]

Woah - does Stewart ever miss? Her mid-range jumper reminds me of Augustus' - so smooth and she just never misses.

 

[RadyLady]

That Stewart kid is pretty good.

yeah, I think she won something in HS.....can't recall.....

 

[MilfordHusky]

I believe HF finished last season ranked #6 in DII. They are not patsies.

Exactly. They are ranked 9th this pre-season.

 

[UCONNfan1]

LOL Dolson just slammed that kid to the floor on the rebound. It wasn't malicious, but she's so strong the kid went flying...

 

[MilfordHusky]

That Stewart kid is pretty good.

May we quote you on that?

People said that about another frosh in 2007.

 

[RadyLady]

Hmmmm
Dolson, KML, Faris, Stewie and Caroline on the floor for a while now...

 

[CTGirl15]

Stewie with the baseline jumper for 2. HF scores the first basket of the second half. 84-40.

Dolson picks up her 4th with 13 to go. HF hits 1 of 2 FT. 84-41

EDIT: Stewie for 2 under the basket for 86-41. Stokes with a nice block.

KML 3, 89-41. Banks 3, 92-41. with 11 to go.
