7-0 RU in 1st minute and 20 seconds.

 

[RUgrad]

I'm confused. Who is this team wearing the RU uniforms today, UConn?

 

[nj4shore]

Great start 24-9 end of 1st

 

[RUClassof67]

Zippy with the exclamation point to end the first quarter. RU 24-9

 

[ScarletteK80]

Wow just wow, can you imagine if they could keep this up? That 3 from Zippy at the end was from way, way out.

 

[RUgrad]

LOL. 59% shooting, 3-4 from 3 pt land, and we look quick in our half court offense too!

There is no reason we can’t play like this every game ! Cviv taking a page out of the men’s gameplay book - play hard and smart and don’t TAKE FOOT OFF THE GAS !! 15 point lead end of the 1st. And keep going inside !!

Love, love Vera, and she loves RU/CVS too.

 

[Abro1975]

3:40 left in half RU up 28-15

Wallace leads 8 pts

Giles leads w 4 rebounds

Alexi still hasn't hit a basket in her 3 game career, lol

 

[ScarletteK80]

When Alexis starts making shots we will be scary good.

 

[Abro1975]

Agreed. It could take a few games to get into the flow. took Jacob young on the men's team almost half the season, now he's taking off.

 

[ScarletDave]

Terrible fast break, 2 on 1 and whoever our other girl was just trots in front of KK all the way down and basically brings herself and the defender in the way

 

[bac2therac]

4 points in 10 minutes...17 point lead down to 9. Purdue on 10-2 run over 6 minutes

 

[ScarletDave]

We were up 17. Now down to 9. Difference: Purdue started going inside, and we completely stopped. This is the bad RU offense.

 

[RUgrad]

Crashing back to earth now. 24 pts in Q1, 4 pts in Q2.

Still ahead by 9 though

 

[Abro1975]

28-19 RU up at the half. RU went away from what got then The Big Lead in the beginning of the game, that is getting Arella the ball and letting her shoot, and feeding Wallace inside. Trying to get Alexis Morris going has hurt the teaM in this gaMe, but necessary for the long terM.

4 points in 10 minutes...17 point lead down to 9. Purdue on 10-2 run over 6 minutes

Sorry. But how about the 24 in the prior 10 minutes.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Wonder why Tyia has gotten so many minutes.

 

[RUJMM78]

24-19 halftime.I don't understand how Giurantes and Mack didn't get any shots in the second quarter.They are the best players on the team.

 

[bac2therac]

Sorry. But how about the 24 in the prior 10 minutes.

Thats when i turned it on...24-9...are you excusing 4 points in the 2nd quarter and losing momentum. Its was atrocious offensive play

 

[ScarletteK80]

Mack needs to be in pronto.

 

[RUClassof67]

No I’m not but you are ignoring 24 in the first. Can’t have it both ways. I’ll take a 9 point halftime lead on the road all year long. Speaking of ignore..

 

[ScarletteK80]

Let's go ladies, start out strong now.

 

[Abro1975]

T Baby being limited to 9 minutes because of fouls did not help the situation.

 

[ScarletteK80]

UGH, down to a 6 pt lead. Why?? Why??

 

[Abro1975]

Purdue on a run, RU only leads 32-26. RU going away fron Arella, and the others aren't hitting. Arella with only 4shot,hit 3 of then, in the entire ga

 

[Abro1975]

5:00 left in 3rd, RU leads 39-28. Finally getting Arella the ball. She has 14 on 5-6 shooting.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Keep feeding Arella, lead back up to 11.

 

[bac2therac]

UGH, down to a 6 pt lead. Why?? Why??

Thats my point..it doesn't have to be this way

Now playing a little better so we shall see but our offensive droughts always raise caution

 

[ScarletDave]

Was up to 13 now a 10 point lead. Stopped feeding Arella and Wallace I don’t understand

 

[RUJMM78]

Missed layups and poor defensive rebounding keeping game close.41-35.

 

[ScarletDave]

Not that it should have ever made a difference but the refs are calling the same fouls on us that Purdue they are letting go every time. On the center inside layups. Our hands are straight up and they continue to reach over us on the other end so I don’t even know what’s a foul anymore

 

[Abro1975]

Horrible stupid error by Davenport , fouling 40 feet away fron the basket with the end of quarter buzzer going off. geez. Growing pains.

 

[bac2therac]

Very typical for this team...lead down to 7

LOL. Dave, please

LOL. Dave, please
