Rookies are watching at home. Do we know if any are in the house?

Signees Kyla and Molly are on hand, not sure about unsigned players.

I get that USF is a good team. But the way they are playing UCONN, they are at least an elite 8 team. I realize you can't use MOV, and maybe their familiarity with UCONN is giving them an extra boost to be able to keep with us, but it's hard to imagine a team who lost to SJU, Miss State, Memhis, Temple, and L'ville by 17 could give UCONN this much trouble...

Half a game is irrelevant. Close games are only close if in last 4 minutes you are right there. If you aren;'t within striking distance at that point, it doesn't matter you are still a ways away from a threat.

I've come to believe that USF is just one of those teams that gives us more trouble than it seems like they should because, for whatever reason, they seem to play better against us than they do against most teams.

Just so. They are good enough to win some games in the NCAAs, depending on who they get matched up against. But they also might have a stinker agaisnt a team that's nowhere near as good as UConn. It's certainly happened to them many times this season already.

So Lou goes 0-3 and is the first one to sit. She comes back in and scorches the net. Must be nice being 18 and have that much self-confidence.

She is a shooter with no conscience, which is the absolute right attitude for a shooter.

Where does Jose find his players? Good group. I don't know Florida. Is Tampa a hard sale?

No Tampa is a world class place. Great weather, lots of resort beach (Clearwater), big time pro sports, Formula One race, all the cultural stuff. Nice place. But Jose finds his players from overseas.

That baby hook is unstoppable.

[HoopsFan21]

Another board for KLS!

 

[EricLA]

How about Stewie with 5 blocks??!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Wow what a pass by Mo to Kia in transition

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 47-28 TO USF

 

[HuskyNan]

Stick a fork in 'em, they're done.

 

[bags27]

Kia is playing with so much more confidence. Geno's tough love after her teary exit worked....

 

[Jimbo]

Stewie's 6th block of the game gives her 394 for her career, only 2 behind Rebecca for the program record.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Glad I don't have to vote!!!

 

[bags27]

[HoopsFan21]

[HuskyNan]

Lou!

 

[ochoopsfan]

Stat guy must have fallen asleep, only 9 assists on 21 made baskets?

 

[bags27]

this isn't a good game pattern for us, trading baskets. we're letting them hang around; could get close.

 

[bags27]

Kia!! how nice!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Gabby in for Stewie

 

[EricLA]

USF on a bit of a run. Got the lead up to about 20 now it's down to 14.
