TV says the attendance is 10,800.

I like is playing KA and CJ together

T !

If that three had gone down, i would have heard the crowd here in Denver

Ncbears - you are correct. I would've take. The layup...but Asha went for it...plus Cal has missed no less than 6 point blank shots...and how did Cal get it down to 6?Gritty effort by the Bears

UConn and 33 as good as advertised

Bears played them tough and even got UConn coach a T

Will this be largest basketball crowd -men or women - this year?

Gljone - AT was right to take tgat open three. In my opinion.
Game effort but UConn is just that good.

Great effort. Stayed with them in every way except shooting percentage, with UConn having five excellent shooters on the floor. Only 8 TO's. Willing to put up three point shots as a deliberate weapon - 30 in total. Too bad this game did not come before national signing day. Might have influenced some people.

Saw Katie Lou play in high school at the Jamboree and I raved about her then. She was number 33. Her two sisters played at Stanford. But she was the best of the bunch.

We played very well. If Asa had hit the three the house would have come down.

Great crowd. If you live around here but didn't go, what are you waiting for.

They have good shooters but they take open shots. Most of the open shots were created by screens. If we do the same we can compete against good teams.

If we hit the layups the game would have been even closer. Anigwe made some nice passes out of double teams. Great crowd.

Ncbears - Can't disagree...just looked like a clear 2 in 1 break and we needed points...but can't fault Asha - she had the hot hand the entire game and a made 3 gets it down to 1 possession. This should prepare the team for the tough conference schedule

Agree on our missing at least 3 chip shots (2 brown, 1 CJ, 1-2 others)

But although UConn shot 60% I can't say our defense was bad. Most were contested shots, and if we tried to take away their best player, there were four other 5 stars hitting shots

That game was good. It was real good. We aren't to far away. But more importantly, the quality of BB has upped significantly with Lindsey, and against a great opponent it was apparent today. Nice effort ladies.

I also liked how the refs basically swallowed their whistles today, and let both teams play up to their potentials. I think that they instinctively knew that this big a crowd was not there to see a free throw contest.

I like UConn's warmup drills

That was really interesting. I wish there was a video of it. They basically went through a series of continuous movement, screening, passing and shooting sequences that were then used in exactly the same way in the actual game.

One of the few games Anigwe didn't get in foul trouble.

I hope somehow they can get Brown back on track. I expected her to be a standout scorer this year, and she instead has missed a bunch of layups and open jumpers. She's too good a talent to have this kind of season.

I think she needs to slow down a bit when appropriate. Look at Kianna, who never rushes a play.

And I really liked the willingness to shoot from outside. Teams will continue to test us this way all season.

Yes, I loved the balance in our scoring. Makes us tough to defend.

UConn's movement on offense was beautiful to watch.

Not to mention their shooting!

agree regarding Kianna. What a smart player. Seems like she always made the right play today.

This team looks much better then last year, when we forced it inside to KA every time in predictable ways, creating turnovers after turnovers. Today, we had a hard time getting KA the ball inside, but when she received it and was doubled, she passed it out. She wasn't doing that nearly as well in past seasons. She is improved.

I'm really loving Cee. She was hyped for this game, and came out flaming

I think the short jumper and the layup were the only shots she took. When your the fifth option in the offense it is hard to get in rhythm especially when there are no plays for you. Same thing happened to Cowling.

It's also one of the few games she didn't play well except for a relatively short stretch.

I thought it was one of her best games in following the game plan. UConn has a great double team inside and Kristine did not try to force it up against that defense. Instead, the double teams enabled us to play an effective outside shooting game using those opportunities. Also, no frustration fouls, which would have really hurt us in a game like this one. She also played quite solid defense. I think this may actually be our best strategy in beating other good teams this year, although we will have to hit the shots.

UNConn starting five played all the minutes except 2
and they were trapping full court and playing aggressive defense

amazing

I can recall how reporters were on Geno for being so hard on Breanna Stewart as a frosh because she wouldn't run the entire practice (basically she was exhausted). Af the end of the year she held a presser to tell the press her role the next year was to teach the frosh how to run in practice. Trademark of a Geno team is the run, even the bigs.

Boy, their legs were there for the full 48 minutes...He sure insists on being in shape...Of course, it also helps the shooter's touch in the 4th quarter not having your legs go...

Any idea what the T on UCONN was for? Was it on the coach or their bench.

The Tech was on UConn HC.

This was a game in which the refs swallowed their whistles. I appreciate that. But both sides could probably howl at being fouled at various times in the game. We didn't shoot our first free throw till the 4th quarter.
