It's not good defense. It's rewarding defenders for simply getting to a spot to draw a charge. That's different than playing good defense.

Huh?
Did I say it was good defense?

If she passes it its a layup for kml

I learned long ago to accept those moments when Bria doesn't pass (and should) on the break, because it's the price you pay for her attack-dog mentality....and I mean that as a compliment

Game getting a little chippy. I really don't want to see this team four times in a season, I always feel like they foul just a biiiiit too hard. I don't think there is a whole lot of love lost between the two.

My Louisville region would be Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, and UNC. Let the best team in the southeast show itself on the court. I'd put Duke and Maryland with Baylor in Stanford's region. Stanford and Tennessee should have to earn those 1 seeds. You don't want another situation like last years Final Four where one semi is a JV game and the other is the National Title.

Just amazing how quickly UCONN closes out on the shooters.

 

[VAMike23]

Thank you KML! Put the ball on the floor strong, and draw contact!

Wow Stewie! What a weopon!

 

[VAMike23]

Banks now playing the "Where's Shoni?" game

 

[JellyBean]

Now we r getting the post game going. Stewie!!!!!

 

[easttexastrash]

Louisville is a joke!

 

[DavidK]

Good way to end the half, a couple nice baskets by Stewie in the post

 

[VAMike23]

It would be nice if our Lefties (Banks, Tiff) could get a little more confident with the off hand.....!

 

[Vowelguy]

Lol, listening to half time. I was about to ask how Chris Cotter from ESPN, in Bristol, could not know how to pronounce Quinnipiac. But then he mispronounced Auriemma 3 straight times.

 

[Biff]

Somebody tell the desk guy how to pronounce Auriemma and Quinnipiac.

 

[Santini35]

How does that guy work in Bristol and miss-pronounce Geno's last name that badly

 

[VAMike23]

That was painful. Hopefully Kara or the producer clues him in at the break

DAMN! He still didn't get it right after the break! Hello, is there a producer in the house ?? Anyone?

 

[UConnCat]

Huh?
Did I say it was good defense?

Did I say you said that? I agree with your point, which I think is clear from my post.

 

[Vowelguy]

10 turnovers for UConn. Ugh. And as I said earlier, many of them were completely unforced.

 

[Biff]

I'd say great minds but that would be an insult to you!

You go at the other team's best player, seeing as she had two fouls..Bria Hartley can do whatever the heck she wants to on the break anyway. So fun to watch in that situation.

Stewie and Bria have been one of the best one-two punches Uconn has ever seen.

I can understand, I mean the guys only won 8 NC's

 

[RockyMTblue2]

One of our players said in a post game interview after the last game that L'ville fouls on every play, readily acknowledging that the strategy involves the refs simply having to look the other way or sent them home by the quarter. Put that together with Jeff's incessant whining and it's more than a little annoying. His ambition dishonors the game.

 

[Vowelguy]

He's certainly not the first at ESPN to mispronounce. I heard it a lot last year during the Hockey tournament.

 

[Blueballer]

We need Dolson to start playing like the All American she is

I'm curious if you had any observations of things we did correctly that half?
