UNC-Tenn

[sarals24]

Anyone watching? Not a whole lot of defense so far...

 

[alexrgct]

Not much offense either. Kinda like the beginning g of uconn-Stanford.

 

[sarals24]

True! Simmons may have met her match in Deshields...neither have seen a shot they don't like.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing!

What's the over/under on the number of Simmons shots tonight? 35? 40? So far at least she's hit the rim a couple times. She's not going to let DD shoot more than her!

I am watching. I wanna see the UNC freshman and........"Grind For Nine?"

 

[RandomFan85]

Bashaara Graves spends a lot energy getting open for passes that are never coming her way. We've got a good front-court. Why oh why must our guards keep jacking up shots???

 

[sarals24]

Why doesn't Tennessee get the ball inside every time? Their guards aren't very good at all.

Seriously, I can see why Diamond went to UNC. There is no way she would be jacking up those shots at UConn.

 

[alexrgct]

Diamond is great at creating her own shot, but the whole making the shot part of it is the rub.

 

[UConnChapette]

Not sure whose first 6 minutes were uglier - the UConn Stanford game or this one.

 

[ocoandasoc]

The announcers really are seeing the same game we are. They are just to polite to talk about it.

 

[sarals24]

Sooooo many turnovers.

Stick Russell down there and give her the ball. Not too tough.

 

[sarals24]

Graves was so good this summer with USA basketball...not sure why they can't seem to use her effectively.

 

[ocoandasoc]

Both teams will pad their rebounding stats, anyway.

Missing Cetera DeGraffenreid for UNC. . .

 

[alexrgct]

Maasengale is hitting some shots.

 

[UConnChapette]

NC may need to go back and practice making layups. I have lost count of how many they have missed.

Well... you see you have to guards that can make good entry passes into your posts.

 

[sarals24]

Serious question...does UNC have any actual offensive sets? I don't think I've seen one yet.

 

[pap49cba]

Playground basketball.... I stopped watching.

They just seem to be catching the ball and throwing it up. At one point they got three rebounds in a row and just kept shooting them up instead of passing them out.

You're spoiled, Pap.

 

[sarals24]

Not super impressed with Deshields. It's not that she's missing shots, it's that she has no idea was a good shot is or at what point in the shot clock she should shoot. Her coaches should sit her and let her watch for a bit.

 

[UConnChapette]

So...is TN that good, or UNC that bad? Right now, I am going with UNC is that bad. 20% shooting isn't going to win many games, unless your opponent shoots worse.

 

[sarals24]

UNC isn't very good.

Apparently, Russell can't dunk. Not saying she needs to in games, but that is surprising at 6'6.

I wish we hadn't ended the series with UNC...I would love to see UConn take them apart.
