Likely the most interesting thing to watch for in this game will be which, if any, UConn players get off the bench vs the ongoing practice of playing every starter close to 40 mins/game.
Geno says his team "has to" win remaining games and the Big East tournament because of high expectations for his team. Will this tactic of only playing starters lead to further injuries and thus provide Geno with an excuse for UConn not making the FF this season, breaking their current streak? Stay tuned. UConn highly unlikely to lose the game vs St Johns, whether running starters into the ground or giving bench players real time on the court.

I am awfully and absolutely astounded at your ability to beat a dead horse.

I'd like to him start Amari DeBerry make her play 30 minutes. It drives me crazy to see a player like her that has everything any player or woman could want but just won't compete and work hard to be her best.
Geno has softened up over the years and is not as relentless as he used to be. Amari needs a coach more like Mulkey or Vandervere who won't let her get away with not playing hard and aggressively.
All of Uconn's players are aggressive except Amari. I watched El Alfy from Egypt play and she plays like Boston. She finishes plays! I really like what I saw in her for next year.
Everybody loves Amari but no one can get her batteries charged?

I don't know the minutes, but looking at the box score, it does look like he's played 8 players. DeBerry and Patterson have played some time, just not sure how much.

They have played 2 minutes each. Ducharme has played 20 minutes off the bench. The stats link Shades provided lists minutes played during the game (unlike the ESPN one).

Well, I'll be damned. St.Johns up 4, under a minute. UConn bench (Ducharme) has 3 pts.

Still up 4, now with 37 secs and shooting free throws.

| Queenie must be so happy for coach Tartamella. You know how fond she is on him. She even has him on her signature! Sure wish I could translate Latin!

Up 4, after UConn turnover, 7 secs, SJ at the line. This one is over! 69-64 SJ over UConn. Does UConn keep the #1 seed?

Danielle Patterson had a GREAT game. Congrats to SJU. They started out the season so impressively, and then have just collapsed. This makes up for a lot of the losses.
The past couple of weeks, UConn sure has been making it tough on the Selection Committee and ESPN to keep them on the 1 line. They've stubbornly stuck to it so far, and I'm sure they'll find a way to continue to ignore the reality staring them in the face.

Congrats Queenie!
At. John’s played a great game, they absolutely deserved this win.
UConn is clearly exhausted. I think it’s likely they don’t win the BE tournament, unless Azzi is back. The team just needs some rest.

I like how y’all thought of me and meanwhile I only caught the last minute or so because it was Pokemon Go night with the pals. I would like to thank Da’Shena and Aliyyah for teaming up to possess their successor to the #3 jersey tonight. I’m insanely proud of the heart and the grit this team showed, and if it results in the winning coach scoring a Big Ten gig off this win after the season the way it did last time, I’m certainly not going to object.
I do appreciate the advances in technology in the last eleven years; the husband missed the Gampel game completely because he was out, but I got to watch the end via the SNY app.

I am pleasantly confused, but in an affectionate and doughnut-filled way.
