Waiting…for someone to bash the announcers for calling us a young team

Knew this one was coming when I heard them say that. So…well played…I guess? But this is well beyond being a “young team” imo.

7 of the 10 major contributors to this team are underclassmen.

To put it all in perspective!!! Nobody wants perspective. Emily can’t carry this team and losing Hare truly sucks!

The only good part of tonight is they haven't stopped the game to give Auriemma some award he won last year. His TV time has been relatively low.

It still sucks to see them get beat by 30+ multiple times.

How often do we full court press? 1/2 court, yes, that's the only D we know. Full court, not up by 30, c'mon.
TJ leaving starters in under 4 up 30+ against SWAC level teams is worse to me (it's still fine) and I don't see any crying about it.

Way too much commentary about poor officiating calls and UCONN playing too "hard". We got our ass whooped. It happens. Didn't expect it to happen to this team this often. Some of us need to stop whining.

Who doesn’t want perspective, exactly? Young isn’t the reason we are getting beat this bad.

Will the future be better? Hoping so.

Man…UConn is the team that answered the bell in the third. Ladies are making mistakes that make you scratch your head. But that one with AJ getting the rebound, falling out of bounds and trying to pass back in….to UConn really was the epitome of the everything that has gone wrong tonight.

Fundamentally a bad play. You're coached not to save the ball under the opponents basket unless you have a teammate target to grab it. Because of exactly what happened there.

And THIS IS THE PROBLEM. Why do people keep acting like this is some kind of saving grace? There’s no excuse to be this young. He needed to get experience and athleticism in the portal and he didn’t.

Freshman don’t have a place in major college basketball anymore unless they are elite. And these freshman aren’t elite.

Also if current trends hold the how many of these girls finish here? Maybe a couple?

Multiple processions where UConn players are passing up wide open shots to move the ball around more. That's embarrassing. Just toying with us at this point.

I'm not sure what our play has to do with bad officiating? If you play bad, officials are allowed to **** you over?

I have not seen one person say that the officials lost us the game. Are you allowed to say that our ladies played poorly? They did, they tried hard, but they played poorly.

Same with the officials. They tried hard, but they made a lot of mistakes. I plan to continue pointing out every mistake they make.

Maybe you should stop whining about people whining.

Until we get some guards with quickness do not expect better results.
I'm going to guess the ones with speed AND can shoot like Bill likes are taken up by top 10 clubs. We get good representatives that can shoot and are a little slower than the top 120 gals in the US.
