That's only a foul at one end tonight Case in point.

Aubrey was hip checked and NO FOUL CALLED. Dam those officials.

Anybody read any good books lately? Seen any good movies? does top gun Maverick count? I haven’t seen anything in a while.

Aubrey was hip checked and NO FOUL CALLED. Dam those officials. Same two players at the other end was less contact and an immediate whistle. Never even considered calling the bump on Aubrey's shot

Nice effort by Griffin that play, but she was fouled at least three times on the play

A couple of good shots by Dorka and Aubrey.
64-52. We haven't even talked about how low scoring this game is.

Anybody read any good books lately? Seen any good movies? I watched a weird and very confusing show on Netflix called "Dark". This game may be just as weird and confusing.

I feel bad for the UConn fans who traveled from Connecticut to watch this.

Thank You Dorka!
Helluva game for Dorka and Nika.
Everyone played hard.

20 turnovers 17 assists 50% shooting
that first number really screwed the team. But they still managed to WIN.

Word must be out that it's easy to turn UConn over, so now everyone's trying.

I will say I don’t like the court. I think we got a lot of long two’s. And I was confused about what they were worth. And maybe our players were confused too?

I don't know. Dorka always makes sure she's behind the line. Nika doesn't pay attention to it. Doesn't matter what court it is.
But I don't like it, either. Wonder why they haven't removed the women's three.

the shorter 3 pt line is OLD. Don't know why they don't remove it, except it probably does confuse some teams and therefore costs them (visitors) a few points a game.

The mission of the refs was to not humiliate the PC fans. The grabbing and shoving away from the ball was totally ignored.
As for the game, UConn needs another 3pt threat than Senechal. Juhasz, Muhl and Griffin are just not volume 3pt shooters. Ducharme and/or Fudd are threats.

Juhasz can clearly dominate against players in this conference. She is just too big and too skilled for them.

Back from the game.
Amazing that the last game I was at (Brown-Princeton) was just weeks before Covid became real and everything shut down.
UConn just doesn't have (right now) an effective half court game. Lou is having to work way too hard for her shot. Aubrey doesn't generate real ball movement at the half court. Aaliyah was really off her game tonight, but that could turn on a dime. At times she really did seem lost at there. Dorka and Nika played really well, but made their own points. when I saw that we had 17 assists for 27 baskets, I was amazed. Linkster above is right; we desperately need another outside threat to open up the interior. PC players were collapsing on our bigs and forcing bad shots or turnovers.
More worrisome to me were the real howlers of turnovers. As if these kids were playing their first game together.
I really sensed (FWIW) that they are mentally exhausted and are really fragile (it felt that way from the beginning). They're living on the edge of a single turned ankle.
I was maybe 20-25 feet from the UConn bench. I'd be shocked if Caroline plays in the next 2 or 3 weeks. She was not only still wearing ear plugs, she was mostly standing apart from the team.
Azzi seemed to have a brace on under her sweats. But she also seemed to walk pretty well, and didn't use crutches.

Geno courtside said they are worn down. So ....

I agree Bulkey. Visually, Caroline doesn’t look like someone that will be back in the next 1-4 games to me. I sure hope so though.
I am actually more optimistic about Azzi. We will see though. Let’s see how the next week goes.
