UCONN has come out on fire on offense and playing great defense. Hope they can keep it up.
UCONN 12
Mich St. 2
14:29 1st half

Daniels is looking like one hell of a player now. Could he work his way into the NBA this year?

UCONN gone a little cold, Mich St settled in now.
UCONN 21
Mich St. 16
5:11 1st half

They can't hit the broad side of a barn right now.

Yeah unless UCONN comes out hot to start the 2nd half again, this game will be over. Still playing good defense though so who knows. The last shot they made was a Nap 3 with around 6 minutes left in the half.
UCONN 21

Michigan St. will win by at least 13!!

Amazing coaching on both sides. When the shots go in.

How about the fact that a coach is supposed to put his players in the right position to make shots through sets, strategies and an overall offensive concept. How about that? The coach is also supposed to possess the ability to evaluate his players and put them in structures that allow them to take advantage of their abilities and defend the other team. There is that too. When plan A doesn't work, a coach is supposed to have optional plans waiting to plug in to help his players compete on both sides of the ball.
Those are things coaches are supposed to do. At least good coaches.

I like just watching teams actually play defense and give it their all.. There are a lot of 3's being shot in this game because of the great D being played on both ends..

How about not turning this into a bitching thread? How about that?

Back to the original topic...this is a fun game. UConn is playing very well defensively. If Michigan State cools of or Giffey starts hitting a couple of these wide open 3s, UConn has a chance here. They are representing the conference very well!

Go Uconn

No bitchin just making a point.
It is a great game!

UConn making a run up by 7 with 7:28 left.

Michigan State isn't hitting their 3s any more. And, UConn is. 10 point lead.

This game is all about the 3 ball.. No inside scoring or offensive rebounds at all..big offensive rebound by UCONN there

GIffey wouldn't miss against us

That is the shot JJ needed to develop his entire career.

Napier sure is being put in the right position to make shots. He just brings the ball across half court, runs down the clock, then breaks down the defense. If he doesn't do it, its not getting done for UCONN. Amazing coaching that 'developed' him.

Question for you, if it is all about coaching, why aren't the other UCONN players stepping up like Napier? I have seen wide open looks for them, but they are not making the shots. Napier is. He has 1/2 of their points. I do give them credit because they play tough D and rebound. Props to the coach for that. But I stick with my claim, Players play. And Napier is a big time player.

Congrats to UCONN. They could win it.
