Xavier Postgame Thread

Am not sure what is wrong with Azzi but she better get back on the Home Page. She is slipping and fading. I really want her name of the wall. But her game has to return and it needs to start against Tennessee.

Every time there was a sub, I expected the Xavier to be wearing those damn ears you can get in Orlando.

Historic night from Allie. Ash and K9 also played their best games of the season imo. They really looked incredibly confident out there.

Great to see those three step up when Azzi was off her game tonight. In post game, Geno said she wasn’t 100% and seemed to imply she has been sick.

Hope everyone can heal up injuries and sicknesses before Sunday!

Quarters 2. 3. 4 were a clinic. Allie was absolutely sensational, and demonstrated why she was 2x Wisconsin player of the year. Strong was her usual - just so consistently good. Heckel did her best impression of Shade, who did her best impression of Heckel. Those two are the horsepower that drove the engine tonight. KK was solid as usual on offense and defense. Some good minutes from Jana, who just misses too many close up. Did anyone notice how Caroline was keeping Jana cool after she was angry for coming out after missing an easy one? Azzi, well, if was an off night, although I think she is pressing and rushing her shots!

Caroline is a coach one day....

Fun night at Gampel, I really liked Aaliyah’s speech before the game and the tributes she received on scoreboard video from Nika and Paige. Classy.

That first quarter was weird but the universe reset itself soon enough. 9 steals by Shade, I loved how UConn was doubling players from behind in the paint and ripping it away before the referee could call a jump ball. Also coming up with all the 50-50 balls on the floor.

I have seen two UConn players make 10 threes in person now, KLS and Allie. They seem to me to have very similar shooting styles, and it is very cool to see a shooter in the zone. Everyone in the arena knew that Allie’s tenth one was going in. Money!

Maya Moore has the highest score of UConn, 46 pts, 1998 vs. Stanford.
And Maya's 3036 pts at UConn 4 years is also a record.

I was at the game against Syracuse when she scored 40 something. I think it was the record at the time.

I feel like K9 got every assist for Allie. So kudos to her for knowing to find the hot hand.

And so the bench outscored Xavier.
