Summary: Congratulations Geno, on win #700!!! Once again, All-Everything Maya Moore led the charge as UConn fought off a fiesty Hofstra team finishing with 23p/8r/4a/5s/1b in 30mins. Caroline Doty chipped in with 9p and a career high 9a as the Huskies won going away, 91-46. Wo! sloppy, sloppy ball game (on both sides of the court). UConn forced Hofstra into a whopping 32 turnovers on 22 steals, but turned the ball over 23 times themselves. All-American Tina Charles dominated in the middle even though she was often double- or triple-teamed finishing with 17p/8r/1a/2s/2b in 23mins. Kalana Greene woke up after halftime scoring 12 of her 14pts. with 6 coming in the first 2mins. of the 2nd half. Overall, the game was poorly officiated which led to 36 fouls and 55 turnovers combined with many fouls not having been fouls and many turnovers resulting from no-calls. Tiffany Hayes, in particular, spent much of the game on the floor after being bumped with no call and turning the ball over as a result.  Seven of the 9 Huskies who played meaningful minutes finished the game with 3 turnovers each (KG had 4). After the game, Geno wasn't too pleased about the sloppiness, but it was easily forgotten (at least until practice next week) as the Huskies put on a little celebration in tribute to their favorite coach's 700th victory. They performed a little Mastercard "priceless" skit with posters as well as wore the student section's Geno Face t-shirts with "Congrats 700" spelled out on the back of all 11 players (then messed up his perfect hair!!).
