Me
My son and his wife and kids are flying to Connecticut from Florida to spend my birthday, New Years and through the weekend. I'm so excited to see everyone. I've banned my daughter from coming after she hacked my blog yesterday. I know something about bannings!!

Per @klhoops Andra Espinoza-Hunter, a sophomore at Blair Academy, committed to #UConn. She was at the Duke game
Via Jim Fuller
From Full Court
Can stroke it from the three-point line. She is a very good athlete with the ability to create her own shot and shots for others. At such a young age she stood out as a top player, regardless of age at the camp. She definitely has a maturity and work ethic beyond her years. Andra showed she can change speed with and without the ball. Espinoza Hunter also displayed a high concentration level during instruction (eyes always on the speaker).

I'll have the post game report for the Duke game out sometime tomorrow. I'm hoping to squeeze in some writing between hugs from my grandkids.
I will give you a quick few observations from the Duke game. We had pretty good seats tonight and got to say hello to quite a few Boneyard friends who are always fun to hang out with at halftime. UConnChappette, ChicagoGG, CF, TonyC, DannyK, DavidK, Philster, and more. Mrs. Kibitzer was there as well and she reports that Kib is doing much better and is planning on going to Sunday's game. That is really really really good news. But my day was made when a nice woman a few seats away asked me if I was DoggyDaddy. I said yes, and she went on to tell me how much she enjoys my Blog and she reads it every day. I was so flattered and I thanked her. So a shout out to Buster of the Boneyard.
Other than that one Duke run, UConn just dominated a pretty good team.
If this is the Moriah Jefferson that UConn will have the rest of the year, turn out the lights, the party's over......
This was as sloppy as I've seen UConn.......and still win by 31.
I predict some fans will focus on the Duke run and use that as a way to diminish the UConn win.
Geno was NOT happy with Stewart tonight.
UConn was down 24-23 with around 5 minutes left. I turned to my friend, Dan, and said "the last five minutes is UConn time, time to make a run". They finished with a 10-2 run and control at the half 33-26.
For those not at the game, UConn runs a promo that if the team scores 82 points or more everyone gets wings from Buffalo Wild Wings with their ticket stub. In the men's game yesterday, they came up short when they held the ball at the end with the crowd screaming at them to shoot. Tonight at the women's game, we knew the would shoot when the had the ball with 38 seconds left. I have to admit, I started the chant and the XL erupted in "we want wings, we want wings, we want wings.... ". Yes that was my doing. And magically, Stokes hit a beautiful 3 point shot to put them at 83. We got wings...We got wings......We got wings......!!!!
I'll have a detailed post game report sometime Tuesday or Wednesday.
**************************************************
A couple of big upsets tonight. Minnesota defeated #12 Nebraska 72-69 and Washington defeated #5 Texas A&M 70-49. Yep, a 21 point beat down by an unranked team. Maybe the Aggies will move down in the poll after a loss this time.

Sorry I commented on the last post by mistake instead of this one so deledeleted that.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say Happy Birthday. Enjoy the day and looking forward to what you have to say about Chong. She played well in front of her former teammate.
"I predict some fans will focus on the Duke run and use that as a way to diminish the UConn win."
ReplyDeleteUConn is a 'flawed' team dontcha know.
I must say...INTERESTING film clip considering it's coming from an "outlaw".
