wow Pheesa

 

[Tenspro2002]

Are you talking about the prayer that kid heaved up as the shot clock was expiring? She was three feet behind the line.

That might have been the best defended of all of their shots. Make or miss, we're giving up a lot of open looks from deep.

Nice steal by Phees and just a lovely finish.

Kia for 3!!! 31-14 1:47 1st

OMG gabby!

Starting to get out of hand for the Great Danes

Ha. There were some pretty pedigreed teams on the OOC schedule this year who wish they could have scored 16 in the 1st against us...

 

[Tenspro2002]

Even though we've opened up a considerable lead, I don't think Geno will be too pleased about the defense.

We're on pace to give up almost 70, and that doesn't include a number of open shots that have been missed. Betters teams will make those.

Butler in now

Can you PLEASE let us enjoy a 20 point first quarter lead before complaining?

Albany is a pretty damn good basketball team. I refuse to believe that they are a #16 seed and there is no chance in hell they are the weakest #16 seed!

 

[HoopsFan21]

37-18 end 1st

 

[ochoopsfan]

Baskets in the Paint after 1
Albany 4
UConn 10

Gambling defense is giving up open looks, but the offense is cooking. Once Lou gets hot, we'll REALLY score.

They have the resume of a middle of the 15 seed line team, but they are within driving distance so lets move them down 6 spots.

I wouldn't worry too much about giving up 16 points. UConn is clearly working on their pressure D in the 1st qtr, and that's going to give up some open shots. At the same time it speeds up the game to UConn's liking

From what I read, Albany had a higher RPI than all other 16 seeds and two 15 seeds. They come in here 6 tines in a row and
win their conference. Of course, put them in Bridgeport

 

[HuskyNan]

Louuuuuuuuuu!

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS for 3!!! 42-18 8:52 2nd

Huntington Beach just woke up

 

[Tenspro2002]

Offense is sizzling.

 

[UConnNick]

Committee so full of crap . We have seen Albany enough to know there is no way they are a 16 seed !

They wanted a team that could stay within 50 points of the lead.

 

[HuskyNan]

UConn is always going to get the opponent's best effort at the beginning of each half. After all, it's win or go home. It's sustaining that effort for an entire game that's the problem.

You can say the same thing about a couple of the teams in our path in this region. Syracuse is no 8 seed either.

 

[BigBird]

37 points, yet offense wasn't always in sync. Wow. Energy was a tad off in the first three minutes, but plenty enough to do the job. Huskies getting steals right from the hands of the dribbler. UA guards bring the ball chest high to start a pass, but at that point the ball is stolen and heading the other way.
