UConn fans after the last game

As David pointed out (yeah, I know you read him first!) I always say UConn follows a bad game with a really good game. Against Wichita State, they took it to another level in their 124-43 win.

So many good things to talk about. Just a few highlights -

The 70% shooting in both halves was awesome, so certainly no letdown. 

The frontline of Collier, Williams, Samuelson and Stevens was 33-38 from the field and 8-10 on threes. 

The rest of the team was 2-10 on threes. Ok, that was a lowlight.  

When Geno was asked at the half how much Dangerfield had to do with the team's ability to score 67 points he said "everything". That is enough for me. I figure that if Dangerfield played 25 minutes in the previous game, UConn scores maybe 20 more points. She is that important. 

UConn had their second most points scored in a game with 124 and tied most points in a quarter with 41.

I'll try to put together a post game report, but I want to finish the Louisville pre game report first. I hate these Saturday-Monday games.

I'll just point out the law of averages.

In the last two games UConn scored 179 points, shot 65-111, 14-32 on threes, 48 assists, 26 turnovers.

58% from the field, 43% on threes, 24 assists and 13 turnovers. A little better than their average game.

Ok, I finished the UConn/Louisville Pre Game Report!

By David in Naples!!!!!

At the end of the UCF game, the Huskies has only 1/2 a games worth of stats like points (55), assists (16), made threes (4) and steals (7). Today, against Wichita State, it was the opposite. UConn finished the 1st half w/ twice the normal stats. Consider their production in the first 20 minutes:

1. Points = 67
2. Assists = 22
3. Made threes = 6
4. Steals = 13
5. Turnovers created = 17
6. Baskets = 26

By the end of the first half, Katie Lou had 19 points, Pheesa 17 and Gabby 10. Whichita State looked like a birthday cake that had been sliced up with a chain saw. They had 17 turnovers, only 10 baskets and let UConn make 72% of their shots. The lead was 44 points and the game wasn’t that close..!!

As Doggy always says, UConn usually follows a not so good game with a great one. Today, it took only a half to get that great game.

Go Huskies..!!
