8 blocks for Dolson tonight. 62-45

Looks like we're going to hold on, but it will be another unimpressive win.

This means either:
1) We're that much better than everyone else, and our B- game is better than anyone else's best.
or
2) There is an embarrassing dearth of parity in WCBB, and we are in for a rude awakening in the Final Four once we finally face the cream of the crop.

Gorgeous, gorgeous back-cut by Stewie.

58-44? As out of sorts as UCONN is, it's still a comfy lead. Still, play like this and they won't get past Stanford, never mind ND...

There will be a wake-up call in the interim week - no worries

Really solid game from Moriah tonight ... Nine points on 4-5 shooting to go along with five assists against just one turnover. #caNINEs

The pick and roll to perfection!

I dunno... they've been a slow starting team all year. Hasn't hurt 'em yet between their defense and just playing inferior teams, which will obviously change after tonight.

I am getting to old for this kind of stuff! Geno has always maintained that this is the hardest NCAA game.

Are you going to "Tinnessie" ?(in Carolyn Peck voice)

I don't think UConn is a slow starting team at all. They've gotten out to very nice leads against good teams this year. This is a recent phenomenon.

Or ask Maya to come to Nashville to help run the next practice and participate in 5 x 5.

Just sayin

And Uconn is going to the Final Four

So who do we think gets Regional MOP? I vote for Kaleena.

There have been a few fast starts, but even against some absolutely horrid teams they've come out flat. @Temple, @SMU, BYU on Sunday, usually they right the ship by the 2nd media time out, but as others have pointed out, the struggles seem to last deeper and deeper into the games.
