NCAA 2nd Round: (8) Texas Longhorns vs. (1) Connecticut Huskies

[anhyzer]

Tonight, Texas is the ultimate "team with nothing to lose". I think, mentally at least, this is an ideal matchup for the players and Coach G.

I'll say UCONN 71-68. But not a huge shock if the score is reversed.

75-71 Texas!

 

[BabHorn]

Fifteen minutes to go!! Here we go.

 

[BabHorn]

Okay, so the trailer just said the game starts at 8:35.

 

[DallasOrangebld]

This could get ugly.

 

[BabHorn]

That was a pretty roll by Carla.

Wonder if she gets an assist?

 

[Fievel121]

This doesn't look good so far

 

[MikeUT00]

VERY vocal UConn tonight.

 

[BabHorn]

Too many defensive lapses by the Horns early. Tonight, they look like they are stagestruck a bit, unlike Sunday. Gotta admit Moore is putting on one heck of a show.

[BabHorn]

Okay, nice run by the Horns.

Damn, Moore has some speed.

 

[BabHorn]

Horns are going to have to use a hook shot inside with UConn's shot blockers. Still showing a lot of fight, though.

 

[2xHORN]

Jeebus Geno really is an ***. His girls have doubled us up and he's still reaming his players like they just coughed up a 10 point lead.

Just like we hope Muschamp will do. Double standard anyone?

HOOKEM

 

[Fievel121]

Ummm...was part of the game plan to turn the ball over every other time down the court?

 

[BabHorn]

Bad foul by Ashley. She has to be smart. Can't compound a TO on one end with a foul on the other. Horns make a spurt, UConn makes a larger one. Horns look like they are rushing their shots. They are getting open looks, just not knocking them down.

 

[WCBBNUT]

Hate UConn. Hate Geno even more. But damn they are good. They've got our girls rattled.

Come on Horns... you've got nothing to lose. Settle down and have some fun!

 

[TXtoCO]

This is what a National Championship team looks like. And Moore is what a POY looks like. She is ready for the WNBA today.

Feel bad for Gail...gotta be a hard pill for her to swollow.

 

[BabHorn]

That foul could have been on any of the three. Our bad luck.

 

[Fievel121]

How was that on Raven??

Thats It! I'm blaming the refs for this one

 

[WCBBNUT]

That was a BULLSH*T call on Raven.

Geno acts like that even after the game is over. Call it what you want. He's an *ss regardless of his record.

 

[BabHorn]

I like how Kat is playing. She's seems to be unflappable. Ebay is hustling everywhere. Can't deny UConn has superior individual talent and they are playing better as a team right now. Horns have to play together to challenge.

I would be happy to only be down by 15 bat half

 

[TXtoCO]

I've seen Nash get called for being on the sideline multiple times this year. You need to know where you are on the court.

 

[Fievel121]

Which we could have been if someone knew where the out of bounds line was

 

[BabHorn]

I think Coach G is not happy with Ashley. She sat out after making that silly foul. Aubrey did a good job filling out but we need Ashley's D and scoring. Horns are having trouble stopping UConn inside. But they are playing hard and not giving up.

 

[TXtoCO]

Good line for Carla...11 points, 4 assists and only 1 turnover.

 

[WCBBNUT]

My god UConn is shooting 68% (50% from the three) and we are only down by 18. I mean we're getting our you know what handed to us, but I am very proud of how far this team has come this year.

We shot only 38% so I look forward to a better second half.

Have I mentioned recently that I hate Geno?
