Gino brought his hobbling troops into Comcast last night and showed why it is the powerhouse we all accept. Listen, Alyssa Thomas and the Terps were in their best form and actually were tied at 43 after a few minutes of the 2nd half. But UConn’s pedigree showed through and it dominated the rest of the game led by one of the top players in the nation–college or pro—Brianna Stewart.

Brenda post Game
“We are disappointed. This was a missed opportunity for us, but they are the defending national champions for a reason. I thought we played really well for the first 25 minutes of the game and then UCONN did what they do. They make runs at you. They don’t make mistakes. When you see six turnovers for a 40 minute game, they don’t beat themselves. In the second half there were too many runs, missed box out opportunities, and we had no answer for Stewart. This is the third game of the season and is a game that I have said all along will not make or break our season. This game was to give us a good measuring stick of where we are as on November 15th, so we can thank UCONN in terms of helping us to learn what we need to get better at.”
