Sure, Geno would probably NOT start Edwards if Muhl could play, but it wouldn't be the 1st time he was a moron. |
So true. We've tried for decades to teach him how to step into the river of perfection twice and more, but sometimes he just doesn't listen. Starts Morgan Valley over Barbara Turner, Mel Thomas and Kalana Greene over Maya Moore, Caroline Doty over Tiffany Hayes, etc.
Now, to switch to some negativity and concern, it's possible that it's impossible for UConn to play as well as they did against Iowa. Except for scoring by ONO, everyone stuffed stats like crazy in that game.
Williams can't have two career days in a row. The last time she had one before Iowa was Notre Dame in her freshman year.
AE can't keep shooting at 85%.
Paige has lost some of the eye of the tiger and seems reluctant to shoot in the first half.
ONO still blows chippies, shoots from the ankles, and gets pushed around by mean girls.
Evina can disappear. There's good disappear, when you don't even notice that she almost has a triple double. But there's also been bad disappear, when she barely gets a single single.
UConn can only win if they follow the Pat Summitt Formula+ --> Defense, rebounding, plus hitting lots of outside shots. That troika will open up easy inside shots via putbacks, fast breaks and cutting drivers. |

Wasn't there a whole book about not being able to put your foot into the same river twice?

Thank goodness someone occasionally gets my obscure references and word-plays. Good old NYC education.

Seventh seated team my ass. The hate of the Committee for these two teams is astonishing. They should be ashamed of themselves manufacturing this setup.

If Baylor keeps turning it over like that it will be a blowout

This is one of the best UConn teams Iâve seen at stealing the ball. Edwards is particularly good at it for a post.

Glad Paige and Westbrook were both able to see it go through from deep EARLY. |

She was good in the first part of the season, then went cold. Sheâs now hot again.
Sheâs always steady though.

Mulkey would have been pissed if Carrington would have missed that pull up 3.
Moon Ursin is SMOOTH.

And I think it just took some time to settle into her new role on the team. She had the ball in her hands a lot at Tennessee, and really had to create off the bounce for offense. At UConn, itâs a littler different style of play and I think it took a while to get the balance. |

If you told me the score was 26-24, I would have said it's much more likely halftime than end of 1Q.
Our turnovers are terrible. The missed layups by Paige and Aaliyah were terrible. Our offense was great.
