UConn plays its B- game and beats a ranked team by double digits. Life is good.

And but me no buts.

Gabby Williams is incredible and I can't wait to see what she will do for this team in the tournament. Its been a treat to watch her these past four years and I'm going to savor these next few games with her.

 

[JordyG]

But after awhile I kind of felt for Lou and Gabby. Gabby had to be in there while limping around like a elder, while Lou just couldn't shoot her way out of one of her worst shooting nights.

Before the wet blanket brigade laments our second half effort, let's note that we outscored them in each half. For us humanities/engineering majors, that means we beat them in the first half and also in the second half.

—Belts and Braces Dep't.

Gabby was all-world.

We missed at least 6 layups.

I still think Laksa is a great shooter. She helped cut the deficit in the 4th.

Forgettable 4th quarter, but let's remember that USF is a legit top 20 team who just destroyed tOSU a few weeks back. they don't match up well with us, but tonight Laska was able to go off...

Let’s drown them out. We don’t need a shot by shot discussion of how horrible our players are. Makes me wonder why they root for a UConn team that’s so awful.

Who's the Tournament MOP???

Gabby.

We'e also played USF 100000 times in the past three years. They aren't scared of us anymore and are used to the pace. They are a legit team and I bet some of these teams don't want to face them in the tournament.

Some of our fans seem to using their trolling motors a lot lately. .

I'd rate it more like a C or C+ game against our standard, but even though the offense wasn't the well oiled machine it usually is, the D bailed us out. Hopefully it was good for us to get a game like this out of our system prior to the NCAA's.

Give credit to USF... they're a top 25 caliber team. They made us look almost ordinary for an undefeated team.

Why is being challenged in the 4th quarter "forgettable"? If it wasn't a challenge, then the bench kids would've played and that would have been forgettable , right?

 

[sarals24]

Azure!!! MOP!

 

[Geew1992]

Gabby.

Nope. Z is

 

[OldAlum]

Azura! MOP Lou, Gabby, and Danger also on all-tourney,

 

[huskeynut]

First - some credit to USF. They are a very good team and they came to play. To say less is to discredit USF.

Second - its tournament time and we won! Lou and Pheesa were off a bit. Gabby was dynamic and Z created headaches for USF. We still haven't lost a game. Only two teams came within 10 points of us all season - ND and Texas.

As to the "blanket brigade" - I have the ignore button ready.

 

[huskeynut]

Azura! MOP Lou, Gabby, and Danger also on all-tourney,

Congrats to Z!!!!!!!

Probably autocorrect of Azura’s name. I had to teach my iPad to accept it

 

[UConnNick]

Azure!!! MOP!

Well deserved!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Congrats to all! Crystal and Gabby were in charge tonight.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

UConn looked tired, beaten up, and injured. They played a good and tough team in South Florida. Just want our kids to get a lot of rest, and to heal.

Wonder how far South Florida will go. Sweet Sixteen at least. They're good.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nope. Z is

Z won the award but Gabby is my MOP.

Observations:

1. USF is a fine team. They are going to mess up a few people's brackets in the NCAA Tournament
2. Gabby Williams is WOW!
3. I really think there will be team(s) that will give UCONN a 4-quarter game in the NCAA Tournament
