Connecticut Preview and Game Thread

[TAHeel]

Announcer admitting she's signaling for 10 second violation is something

 

[Bigheel]

Game of her life so far

 

[4-Heel-N]

Got to be at least 10 missed layups but hanging in there.

 

[MayetheForce]

Too many turnovers.

Grant is overmatched.

Really letting them play / not a lot of fouls.

and somehow we’re still in it

 

[Bigheel]

I don't think I have so many non called fouls as UConn has in my life

 

[TAHeel]

I honestly think we played better in the 1st half than UCONN

 

[Carolina151]

28-20 UCONN at half

 

[Viking131]

Lanie, stop trying to drive when you have the open 3. SHOOT IT!

 

[uman1]

Missing those 2 FTs

 

[CadeShoemaker]

HALFTIME: UNC trails 28-20

Indya Nivar single-handedly keeping the Tar Heels in the game so far. Her 11 points and six rebounds are willing a North Carolina team that was 8-for29 and had 11 turnovers.

 

[Viking131]

If we can get our offense going, we may have a shot!

 

[Jeverett3131]

Live and die by the 3 in the 2nd half! Only chance.

 

[3397char]

These teams combine for 3 of 29 for 3pt shots in the first half with quite a few airballs. I think the large gym and prize fight style lighting is getting to them.

 

[Jeverett3131]

Nivar is a DAWG!!!!

 

[JimmyDaHeel]

Alright ladies, you're going to have to do this playing 5 on 8.

UConn is allowed to grab on every screen, swipe arms without calls and hammer drivers in the lane.

All that and if we were just shooting a decent percentage from ANYWHERE we would have the lead!

Go win the second half, ladies!!

GO HEELS!!

 

[HennyHeels23]

If they made jus half of the lay ups they game would be tied

 

[FanaticHeel]

The hand checking, reaching, pushing and physical contact on the shot is just ridiculous to not be getting to the foul line

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

We hit 2-10:layups. Yikes

 

[Lucretius]

The hand checking, reaching, pushing and physical contact on the shot is just ridiculous to not be getting to the foul line

A football game has broken out. Terrible officiating. We need to be much more aggressive on d. We either all foul out or we start getting steals and turnovers like UCONN or they start calling all fouls on both ends.

 

[Allen&Sons]

Make those layups!

 

[6string]

Yeah most contact, hacking etc I have ever seen on the dribbler.

 

[tarboy]

Take the first good open look. The way this game is being called if we fool around with the ball we will not
get any shots and if you do not shoot you cannot score. Quick moves and shoot good shots.

 

[HeelYeah2012]

Let’s play a great 3rd quarter and put some 4th quarter game pressure on them!

 

[3397char]

Harris clearly fouled on that layup attempt

and then gets hit with a weak Offensive foul on next possession that negates a bucket.

Harris: 4 fouls
Entire UConn team: 5 fouls

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Man these officials suck

 

[uman1]

BS call

 

[FanaticalHeel]

An offensive foul on that?
GTFOH

 

[FanaticalHeel]

We’re about to lose contact.

 

[Allen&Sons]

Would be hard enough to pull this out without the refs pulling for UCONN

 

[MacksBrownies]

Well we tried

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

If we can’t score, we cant cover

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Well we tried

Figured we’d run out of steam. Just don’t have that dynamic go to player to get a consistent bucket. Next year I think we will.

 

[uman1]

Their bigger players move so well on defense.

It's starting to get ugly. we may not score 35.

 

[4theHeels19]

These refs are a JOKE right now. Just keep fighting and COMPETE every possesion. Proud of the effort. Just need more composure. Somebody else has to make plays besides Indy.

 

[3397char]

It was 20-23 UConn with 1:30 left in Q2. UConn scores 12 straight in the next 4 1/2 minutes to go up 15

 

[kjcooper]

Still proud of the heart which they are showing in this game, offensively we are not doing much which you could contribute to UCONN defense. We need to create some T/O's somehow.

 

[23UNC]

UCONN contests everything. You get zero wide open looks.

 

[uman1]

These refs are a JOKE right now. Just keep fighting and COMPETE every possesion. Proud of the effort. Just need more composure. Somebody else has to make plays besides Indy.

They are phenomenal on defense.

 

[kjcooper]

Do not foresee being tired as an issue, have to give CB credit she is playing the bench in this game, The experience which they are having in this game will definitely help next season for the young players.

 

[UNC76]

This quarter looks like our scoreless OT vs Louisville.
