Played pretty well in the 2nd half but Huskies are incredible. They win so easily it's almost anti-climactic. However, we will see them again in Final Four or title game!
Our girls will be back

Maybe we have a chance if we bring our A game and they bring their C or D game. I really , really want to beat the Vols though. I detest them in every sport! I hate all orange!
Couldn't get Cuevas nor Alaina & the twins going. Wilson only kinda got going too. Got to be clicking on all cylinders to have a chance to beat that bunch in the tourney. We're a deeper team. Have to find a way to get their starting 5 in either foul trouble or fatigued.
Foul trouble, that's a good one. From what I saw they had a total of 7 team fouls going into the last 6 minutes of the game and as physical as the inside game was, that was a head scratcher.
ding, ding, ding we have a winner. UConn had a great shooting night--even by their standards.
And because of the flawed ref system in WBB, they were very reluctant to call many, many, many fouls. They seemed to push off & throw elbow's at will. That didn't lose it for us but it sure helped.
As far as you go, 85alum, u have a point about the unstoppable quality/the starting five UCONNladies ALL being good shooters.
BUT, even the UCONN COACH said that (his game-before benching of TWO of his starters helped result in) ALL FOUR OF HIS BEST STATERS--ALL FOUR bringing their "A" game IN THE SAME NIGHT. In other words, that kind of crystaline brilliance probably won't happen EVERY time they play the Gamecocks.
(ALSO, if they play again this year, don't you think freshmen Asa Wilson and Bianca Cuevas will have grown ?
If/when the Lady Gamecocks play UCONN again in this spring of 2015, who do you think is going to be the most pissed off and determined ? AND who is going to benefit more from, this time playing in a neutral site ? I think the Gamecocks have a good shot down the road w/ UCONN II.
(Also, I think Coach Staley is going to start putting two of her best players in the game FASTER, than to keep keeping them on the bench, She has been bringing them into the game, together, after some minutes of play. She has been "letting them absorb the game plan of the opponents, etc." while just sitting on the bench at the beginning.)
