Women: UConn rallies to win 68-63 NCAA Sweet 16

[RusskyHoya]

Haven't seen a general thread created yet, so I figured I would throw one up.

Ladies narrowly avoided a trap game last night, turning the ball over 11 times and going 6 for 28 in the first half, going into the break down 28-18 against La Salle. Came out in the second with a 15-0 run and held on from there. sports.espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=303230046

Next up: The Paradise Jam in USVI, taking on Georgia Tech, Missouri, and Tennessee on consecutive days over the Thanksgiving break.

Wow the Paradise Jam is going to be really rough.

This thread should be a sticky btw...

[PhillyHoya]

Agreed on being a sticky. I updated the thread on the other board but no one reads it probably.

Last night was frustrating but true to form, the Hoyas fought it out.

If anyone is interested, I wrote about the Lady Hoyas for the Hoop Club blog: www.guhoyas.com/genrel/111810aac.html

[Nevada Hoya]

Good report, Philly.

[PhillyHoya]

BUMPing this up. Women have a very hard tournament ahead of them in Virgin Islands: tomorrow vs. GA Tech, Friday vs. Mizzou and Saturday vs. Tennessee.

Next home game is on Wednesday the 1st vs. Richmond.

[FrazierFanatic]

Good luck this weekend and all season Lady Hoyas, you may not engender the passionate and heated discussions that the men do, but we all root for you and look forward to a great season. Hoya Saxa!

Congrats to the women on what is probably the biggest win in program history (at least so far). They beat ND, also ranked #4, last season, but Tennessee at #4 is taking it to a whole 'nother level (to borrow a phrase).

Rodgers scored 11 of her team's first 13 points in the second half and was one point shy of tying a career high. The sophomore guard was honored as the Tournament MVP.

"I had a couple bad games there but tonight, I picked it up,'' said Rodgers, who added four rebounds and three steals. "I think the big deal tonight was our defense. Every single player on our team stepped up on defense.''

Glory Johnson scored 13 points, while Meighan Simmons added 11 to lead the Lady Vols (6-1), who had 29 turnovers. Georgetown turned them into 31 points.

"Our team did not come to the gym on a mission,'' said Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, whose squad was playing its first ranked opponent of the season. "We won our first two games pretty easily but you have to respect every opponent. Tonight, we watched a team take us apart. I am very, very disappointed.''

Sweet (no pun intended). But if the team fell to Missouri how did they end up playing Tennessee in the final game?

[HoyaSinceBirth]

wasn't a real tournament it was a round robin tournament.
