Duke Starters
Krystal Thomas | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 17 | 2 | 1-3 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 2-0-2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 2nd | 13 | 7 | 3-6 | 0-0 | 1-2 | 1 | 2-2-4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | | TOT | 30 | 9 | 4-9 | 0-0 | 1-2 | 1 | 4-2-6 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | | | | | | Krystal worked very hard in this game to get position and demand the
ball. She hit some tough hook shots, had a nice pass to Vernerey for a score,
blocked shots and alertly went after loose balls. This was not a brilliant
game by her, but she was one of the few Devils who didn't look completely
outclassed. |
Kathleen Scheer | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 11 | 0 | 0-3 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | 2nd | 7 | 2 | 1-1 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | TOT | 18 | 2 | 1-4 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | | | | | Scheer hit one jumper but was otherwise a non-factor. She was shut out
on the boards and couldn't defend UConn's forwards. |
Karima Christmas | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 8 | 1 | 0-5 | 0-1 | 1-2 | 0 | 3-2-5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | 2nd | 10 | 4 | 1-4 | 0-1 | 2-2 | 0 | 2-0-2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | TOT | 18 | 5 | 1-9 | 0-2 | 3-4 | 0 | 5-2-7 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | | | | | | Karima tried to be more aggressive offensively, and she was clearly
uncomfortable doing so. She had 5 offensive boards but was completely
ineffective as an offensive force and was absolutely no match for Maya Moore or
Tiffany Hayes. She needs to continue to be aggressive, starting with offensive
rebounding, and the rest will come eventually. |
Jasmine Thomas | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 17 | 3 | 1-8 | 1-3 | 0-0 | 1 | 0-2-2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 2nd | 12 | 10 | 3-8 | 3-4 | 1-2 | 1 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | TOT | 29 | 13 | 4-16 | 4-7 | 1-2 | 2 | 0-2-2 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 1 | | | | | | Jasmine never quit and kept firing away because that's what her team
needed, but UConn welcomed her taking jump shots instead of finding a way to
get to the line. It took her 16 shots to get to 13 points. While she did ahve
a couple of assists, UConn did a nice job of reducing her to one-on-one player
status. |
Chelsea Gray | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 10 | 2 | 1-4 | 0-2 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-1-1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | 2nd | 13 | 4 | 2-4 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 3 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | TOT | 23 | 6 | 3-8 | 0-2 | 0-0 | 3 | 0-1-1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1 | | | | | | Chelsea had an OK game and certainly wssn't outplayed by UConn's point
guard Bria Hartley. She scored on a bank, a jumper and in transition and found
K.Thomas in the post a few times for scores. UConn did take away her ability to
really run a team for much of the game, successfully cutting her off from the
rest of her squad. |

Off the Duke Bench (in order of entry)
Shay Selby | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 12 | 2 | 1-4 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 2nd | 4 | 0 | 0-1 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | | TOT | 16 | 2 | 1-5 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | | | | | Shay scored Duke's first points on a tough drive but did not score again
after that. She tried to fire up her teammates but couldn't get any more shots
to land. |
Tricia Liston | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 5 | 0 | 0-3 | 0-2 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 2nd | 9 | 3 | 1-2 | 0-0 | 1-1 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | TOT | 14 | 3 | 1-5 | 0-2 | 1-1 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | | | | | Tricia competed in this game but struggled to figure out what a good
shot was. She airballed one three attempt and hesitated on her other jump
shots. UConn kept her off the boards as well; her only contribution was a
driving three pont play. |
Haley Peters | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 2 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 2nd | 3 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | | TOT | 5 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | | | | | Haley really struggled in this game, playing just five minutes as she
committed 2 quick fouls in transition (a big no-no). |
Allison Vernerey | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 6 | 1 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 1-2 | 0 | 1-0-1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | | 2nd | 12 | 4 | 2-3 | 0-0 | 0-1 | 0 | 2-1-3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | TOT | 18 | 5 | 2-3 | 0-0 | 1-3 | 0 | 3-1-4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | | | | | | Allison showed a lot of fight in this game, especially when Duke was
struggling. She scored with contact, hit a spinning runner and grabbed 3
offensive boards. UConn made sure to body her up to keep her away from the
basket, but it was a shame Duke couldn't get her the ball more. |
Chloe Wells | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 9 | 2 | 1-2 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | | 2nd | 7 | 2 | 1-4 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 2 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | TOT | 16 | 4 | 2-6 | 0-2 | 0-0 | 2 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | | | | | | Chloe took a lot of bad shots (she reverted to pulling up for threes with
a hand in her face), but she also battled and passed the ball around a bit. She
hit a long jumper and a bank shot and found Gray in transition. |
Richa Jackson | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 3 | 2 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 2-2 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | 2nd | 10 | 0 | 0-2 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | | TOT | 13 | 2 | 0-2 | 0-0 | 2-2 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 2 | | | | | | RJ showed some nice fight in her limited minutes as she got to the foul
line at the end of the first half. However, she wasn't precise in her movements
and wound up turning the ball over several times. Still, it was heartening to
see her move well and not back down from the challenge. |
