And she went for 41 last game? Damndamn that MS point gurd is a nice player
Agreed on both.I love Doris Burke, but she is way too much of a UCONN fan tonight
Was coach K coaching Uconn?The five UConn starters played a total of 202 minutes, just 23 minutes for 2 bench players.
The issue with UConn coming into the year was their lack of depth due to losing all of the stars last year. This wasn't a classic dominant UConn team even though the undefeated record showed otherwise. They'll be a better team next year when they lose only Chong and gain 6'6" Duke transfer Azura Stevens and Kentucky transfer Batouly Camara off of their transfer years.Was coach K coaching Uconn?
It's what he does. See the first post. His bench gets no experience in blowouts that might prepare them for games like this when the starters aren't getting the job done.The five UConn starters played a total of 202 minutes, just 23 minutes for 2 bench players.
And maybe why they seem to always lose OT games, that extra 5 minutes is a killer when you're barely using your bench.It's what he does. See the first post. His bench gets no experience in blowouts that might prepare them for games like this when the starters aren't getting the job done.
No, the next group of starters is just finishing high school. The roster was thin and exceeded expectation.Ya it makes no sense. I mean I can't argue with Geno's success but not using your bench seems criminal. They looked slow all game and worse in OT. I assume even the UCONN bench is full of blue chippers who are biding their time before becoming the starters.
4 of the 5 starters proved they're charmin soft.No, the next group of starters is just finishing high school. The roster was thin and exceeded expectation.
45 minutes and held to under 70 points. Down big, looked dead and still almost pulled it out.
the bench is a freshman PG who looked totally overwhelmed on offense (to be fair everyone except Gabby succumbed to the pressure of the FF) and Natalie Butler, a Georgetown transfer who is completely worthless.Ya it makes no sense.

The effort by this team, outside of Gabby, was an embarrassment.Well that does it. Heck of a run.
Everyone's going to jump all over Miss State, but really, the greater accomplishment belongs to UConn. 111 in a row is just ridiculous. It took a less-than-vintage Huskies team, an overtime, and a buzzer-beater in a game where UConn really didn't play that well. It's like when teams beat the Patriots in the regular season.
what planet are you on?I love Doris Burke, but she is way too much of a UCONN fan tonight
Ironic because Chong was leading the nation in A/TO for points of the season.Great situational awareness. Jesus.
The free throw misses were killers.4 of the 5 starters proved they're charmin soft.
Brown stains in their shorts.
Missing wide open layups, jumpers, free throws etc.
Gabby Williams was downright heroic. Dear god do I love her. Her game is lost in the shit of Nurse and Chong playing zero D, Nurse and Lou standing around doing nothing for 45 minutes. Literally standing around on offense.
I look forward to sending Collier to the bench with Z next year.
It's worth a try, UConn's continued dominance was killing the ratings already: UConn Women May Be Great, But Nobody Is WatchingI wonder how the UConn free title game worked for ESPN in the ratings.
Wouldn't the record ratings on Friday have been the same if UConn won?It's worth a try, UConn's continued dominance was killing the ratings already: UConn Women May Be Great, But Nobody Is Watching
Their loss spiked the Final Four ratings: To boost TV ratings, women’s basketball apparently just needs U-Conn. to lose
Drama of a close game involving UConn, yeah. I wouldn't be shocked if today's ratings are as good as they would've been with UConn, just from the carryover from that game. Or not. The women's ratings are super-volatile and as influenced by counterprogramming as anything else.Wouldn't the record ratings on Friday have been the same if UConn won?
The drama of a close game is what made it compelling for viewers to tune in regardless of the outcome.
Which Collier was so shellshocked of being in the FF that she forgot her FT routine during key FTs...and missed badly.The free throw misses were killers.
No question.If UConn finds a way Friday night, they'd be cutting down the nets again right now.
The offense wouldn't have been off two games in a row and 67 wouldn't have been enough to beat them.
That said, congrats to South Carolina. I wonder how the UConn free title game worked for ESPN in the ratings.
