Congrats to Geno on 1000!!! The game was a little disjointed but UConn easily won the game 88-64.
More details on my post game report (if I find the time to actually write it!!) but I managed to take some pictures at the game that I can share. Hope you enjoy them.
The crowd was great and the pregame stuff was a lot of fun!!

Numbers Part II -
Geno won his 1,000th game by the score of 88-64. But, the margin of victory was a bit deceiving and some stats were also odd. Consider:
1. Gabby had only 3 points, but added 10 rebounds and 8 assists.
2. Katie Lou missed 3 of her 4 free throws.
3. UConn made only 60% of their free throws.
4. Azura shot 50% from three range (1-2).
5. Crystal had 4 turnovers and only 1 assist.
Many other stats were what they always are:
1. Collier and Z dominated inside shooting 8-11 and 7-8 respectively.
2. Katie Lou went 4-9 from outside the arc.
3. UConn had 23 assists on 34 baskets.
4. Kia (3-6) and Crystal (2-4) both shot 50% from three range.
5. UConn held the Sooners to 7 threes, 7 free throws and created 16 turnovers.
Congrats Geno..!!
