Well you can tell it’s a November game because UConn is letting them score from the arc from will. Happens every single time.

Alright alright alright! Kim lit them up at the half lol

 

[VolBall09]

Obvious charge. If one of our players was as demonstrative as Shade after that call they would have been assessed a tech.

 

[HerdLVol]

I like Syla Swords Michigan point guard. Field general.

 

[VolBall09]

Now, can Michigan continue to make them uncomfortable or will they run out of gas? Historically UConn has the gas in the tank.

Where’s the box score @1reVOLver?

I take no opponent for granted. That’s the Michigan that dogwalked the Irish. Our perimeter defense was non-existent and our offense was putrid. Can’t hit the ocean from the shore.

Great comeback for Michigan, UCONN actually looked rattled almost the entire 3rd Q scoring just 4 points.

It’s a long season. Good game heading into the 4th. I think UConn will pull it out they’re the better team.

Fudd has such a pretty stroke from 3. Michigan was right there but missing so many close shots right at the basket. Hopefully Michigan keeps it within 14 so I can win my 4 game parlay today.

Definitely. Michigan took control of the tempo and made UConn very uncomfortable. Michigan looked completely outmatched in Q1 so kudos to them.

However the chips fall, long term outlook this is valuable experience (for both teams, really). UConn’s conf schedule is so soft, I’d rather they get challenged now.

Serah Williams hasn’t looked like a factor tonight. Fudd and Strong carrying UConn.

Looked good early on but then faded. Right now she seems to be very hot and cold.

Swords is having the game of her life.

My goodness. She’s got the hot hand for sure.

Swords is having the game of her life.

She’s a player. She was rlly good last year. Just keep getting better.

 

[HerdLVol]

That Hail Mary was close!

 

[knoxvol52]

Jesus, poor Michigan!

This aged well.

There have been a lot of times in recent years when UConn fumbled away close games. The fanbase just breathed the biggest sigh of relief.

Swords played lights out for Michigan. Props to her.

Azzi can be off her game at times but she and Strong carried the team. Cold blooded at the FT line. And Strong with 20 (!) rebounds.

Did your parlay hit?

One thing Geno does and seems to always have done is run with 6 players, sometimes 7. Fudd played 39 min and Strong played all 40. Sometimes wish Cooper and past UT players would get 35 plus minutes a game. I know when Parker played the main crew played just about the entire game. Just random thoughts.

Also Michigan is going to be a problem this season. Impressed out playing UCONN for a half and even in the 2nd Q. Not easy to do.

 

[VolBall09]

Those are two really, really good teams. Came down to free throws but I thought it was a well officiate game mostly.

Really even looking across the stat sheet. Michigan is a FF caliber team this year.

Last season Vic Schafer straight up said, “I love what she’s doing but at some point she’s going to realize, like the rest of us, that she has to have her best players on the floor the majority of the game.”

I do feel Coop and Zee have been given more minutes this season but we would like to see Coop and Barker out there for at least 35 minutes a game and then rotate 3 in three 3 instead of 5 in 5 out.
