No game thread???

Good battle. Ladies overcame a very slow start and an 8 - 10 pt deficit early. Now it's fairly close with the good girls winning.

All that said, ladies (any team) still cannot make a layup to save their lives and it's painful to watch at times. (Trying my best to ignore that part and just enjoy the battle)

Play Sunday like they did the 2nd and 3rd quarter and they will bring home another Natty - I don’t like either matchup though to be honest.

Proud of the ladies! I really didn’t think they would make it this far without a dominant player like we have had in the past. But I sure wish we could win it all! Will take a miracle!

Considering how they have ran through this tournament and the 29 point beat down they put on us on 2/16 on our home floor….yes, yes they have been that good
On the other hand, they did lose to Tennessee. They are not unbeatable. I want to see us run them off the 3 point line and see if they can put the ball on the deck.

UConn has been a different team since that Tennessee loss. Whatever adjustments Geno made after that game were spot on. It's good to see Paopao shooting well last night - we're going to need a good shooting night.

They were motivated in our first matchup and we took the day off defensively. Table will be facing the opposite way this game; our defense will be all up inside their shorts. I just hope the stripes wont deem it cool to interject themselves and be a part of the game also.

Our team is more than capable and agree with your assessment.
Win this one and I believe the torch has fully passed from Geno to Dawn.

They will have to defend the mid-range jump shot. That Fudd girl was unstoppable first half. Her and PB can elevate, shot, arch, and swish. WE don't have that mid-ranger, or we haven't tried it much but need to.
Need to cover up PB and get someone or two in foul trouble.

Have to agree with you. Delighted that they made it this far. Will be ecstatic if they win it all, but Uconn is going to be a real challenge.

UConn will be very tough. Hopefully they won’t shoot lights out again and we will hit 3’s. We can’t tire them out with our depth like we usually do because they are deep as well. We’ll have to defend lights out and shoot lights out. They had players out early but were at full strength against us. They are still at full strength. Dawn will have to draw up a special game plan, but more importantly, we will need to knock down the shots.
