Cincinnati v. Huskies GAME THREAD

[Nuyoika]

I saw ATLEAST 3 treys go in and come back out. They aren't missing by much.

Something not right with Gabby. She looks lost at times..

I don't think she looks lost , I think she looks down on herself. She's a perfectionist and if things don't go as she hopes it gets to her. They're trying to help her work through that stuff.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lou still has something going on with her shot. She just needs to work it out by the 13th.

Yep, she's slightly off.

Baskets in the Paint at the half
UConn 13 (8-5)
Cinn 3 (1-2)

Not bad. Cincy is a better team than most of the pack in the AAC and they are playing hard. They are playing a tight zone defense and the Huskies are missing from the arc, but still up by 27 at the half.

 

[BigBird]

Saniya's defense has gotten so much better. She really plays the passing lanes well

Yes. Big difference. She's stopping the ball and forcing lateral passes that can be picked off.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Well looks like my wish for a complete game is DOA. Currently tied in the 2nd quarter 15-15. I'd rather see us win each quarter by 10 than win 1 by 20, play the next one even, etc etc....

It ended 21-15. Cincy hit some outside shots and we had some rattle out.

They're really pretty bad. Their awful schedule has inflated their record but they are 160th on Sagarin's rating system.

Stat line for Pheesa:

19/8/4/1/5

That's very nice. In just the first half.

 

[oldude]

Pheesa like a cash machine....get her the ball and she's money.

UConn should not schedule any games that start before 2 in the afternoon. To me, Gabby looks like she's pressing a bit. Lou's shot will come as long as she keeps on trying it. All in all a good half in my humble opinion.

OK, but they are playing hard, and Johnson is pretty good when she's not gasping for air from trying to run up and down the court with the Huskies.

There is something I noticed about Collier.

Twice in TV close-ups, she jumps with the ball still in both hands, the defender gets a hand on the ball, you'd think it is a block. But Collier just pushes the ball through and it goes in the bucket.

 

[Hongster]

Man! Gotta love the defense by the core five. Cincy just can't get in end up with a brick or turn over.

ESPN box score is in err.

Pheesa has 17 points - not 19.
Gabby has 8 points - not 6.

Nearly every times she goes up she either fights through the ball swatting, and usually scores, or she draws a foul, or BOTH.

[huskeynut]

ESPN corrected the box score.

Pheesa is playing so smoothly. She just glides on the court and hangs in the air forever. She finishes through contact and
her shooting for 3 pt range is so relaxed. Just a pleasure.

They must be monitoring the Boneyard for accurate stats

 

[JordyG]

UConn's 3 pt shooting has clearly been terrible. If that part of their game starts clicking....Nevertheless, this team can score points.

 

[JordyG]

16 assists on 20 FG's.
