Lol so I guess Geno is hating too, when he talks about Aubrey's need to be more consistent... Hating and constructive critique are two entirely different things. Now put your pom-poms down for a few minutes and breathe reality's air...
Paige could be in that class, but being able to remain on the court is a big part of what makes a great player great. How many games were there where Diana, Maya, or Stewie said they couldn't go? There was a time where we kept puke buckets behind the bench for players that refused to take the day off. Times have changed, but you bring back those 2014/15/16 UConn teams and they would smoke every team in today's so-called better top 25.
This is probably the most painful season since the beginning of the Geno Auriemma era in the mid-1980's. I can only think of 2007, the season after Diana Taurasi left, as in any way comparable. We lost seven games that season, and failed to advance past the, what?, Sweet Sixteen? But we didn't have the talent that year. We did start a major rebound the following season, however, when Tina Charles arrived on campus.
Nika played mostly well a couple bad passes 1 TO given to her was a good pass that went through Aaliyah s hands. Scored last 5 clutch points. Played real defense. Aubrey today was both brilliant and bad both sides of the ball. 5 turnovers while really handling the ball much. Airballed at least 3 layups.
How did she start 0-3 when she was 3-5 for the day? I believe she missed her first, hit her next two and then missed another in the first half.
The field goal total includes three point shots. For example, Lou took 4 total shots, three of them were threes. She made 3 points on three pointers (1-3) and two points on two pointers (1-1). She was overall 2-4.
Good assessment, but careful: saying that Aubrey had an up and down game: inconsistent, will get you labeled a hater....
Check the game play by play.
Today's game included both, kept both teams in the game
I’m impressed whenever I see Morrow play. She was definitely the best and most impactful player on the court today. Morrow is very good. Tough, aggressive and very good hands. Took a village to cover her. Definite all American imho.Thank goodness Morrow is only 6'1". Can you imagine if she was Dorka's/Boston's size at 6'5"?She would be unguardable, and unstoppable.
Early in the season she was hampered by a foot injury I believe. During the entire season I’ve seen her go down and fall a couple times per game when making a turn to get back on defense after made lay ups- alone on the court. I believe She has a chronic foot and/or ankle issue. She is really banged up- so today they went to Aubrey. Lou is probably as tough as any player we’ve ever had.
Not sure you are right about team chemistry. Both coaches and players have competed on close they all are—strong chemistry.
All 8 players played well today. That was the difference in the 4th Q. I hope they rest all the starters in the 2nd half on Monday.
Except with 17 seconds left when she allowed People's an easy layup to make it a one point game. Thankfully she redeemed herself with the free throws.
Agree. This team is the worse in years turning the ball over. I appreciate Patterson playing good defense today. But let's not get excited. DePaul is not a Top 25 team. The same for Yanna. First time she touches the ball has a turnover.
She was in foul trouble and didn’t want to pick up another one. Also, the clock was UConn’s friend and a foul would have stopped the clock
I am pretty sure her job there was to not let her shoot a 3 pointer, a two didn’t really hurt them, it was going to come down to making foul shots.
