Message: [QUOTE="Buzzyboy, post: 2149106, member: 1364"] UConn started off very, very slowly and then for the latter part of the first period and most of the second period, totally lost their composure, unlike just about any UConn team I've ever seen. The sloppiness in handling the ball and silly mistakes were beyond description. I think the only period of time I've ever seen anything like it was when we lost a game to Duke that we were totally in control of late in the second half when we just fell apart and I think the winning shot, a 3 point shot, was by some girl either originally from Connecticut or someone UConn had recruited very hard. I'm pretty certain that Diana Taurasi was with the Huskies when they lost that one and it was at the Civic Center. I think the only three Huskies that didn't play poorly (by their standards) were Gabby who played pretty well and Saniya and KLS who play okay. Not one Huskie played what I would call their "A" game though Gabby might have been a B+ with her extraordinary hustle throughout. You must give the Mississippi State game plan and their kids hustle and energy quite a bit of credit but the team wasn't close to playing to their potential. It took quite a bit of fortitude to come back from that 16 point deficit but once they came back, they seemed to run out of juice and then it was a back and forth, possession by possession game.
