UConn beat Rutgers in the Big East quaterfinals today, but it was not pretty.
UConn shot 32.7%, which is pretty bad, but they won because they held Rutgers to 24.4%.
Tomorrow, in the semifinals, UConn plays St. Johns (the only team other than Notre Dame (2) or Baylor (1) that beat them) and Notre Dame plays West Virginia (the only team other than Baylor that beat them).
If they both survive, then they'll play for a third time this year, and Notre Dame will most likely win for a third time this year.
One thing I really noticed in today's game was that sophomore guard Bria Hartley is playing much more tentatively than at the beginning of the season. For most of the year she was very aggressive driving to the basket, and during fast breaks she would often take on two defenders on her way to the basket. In tonight's game she would start the fast break, and then circle back around and wait for her teammates -- every time.

That was nice, but what I liked better was her awesome rebound in tonight's game against St. Johns. KML missed her 3, and Faris came out of nowhere to steal the rebound from two or three opposing players. Then she passed the ball right back to KML, who made the 3 the second time!
She only scored four points tonight, but she had 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and 7 assists.

I do that a lot. Tonight's most impressive rewind was for Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.
Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins got the rebound, but then suddenly, somehow, some way, KML had the ball. As best as I can figure, Diggins got the rebound, thought she was safe (she had another ND player standing next to her), so she wasn't holding the ball tightly, and KML came up from behind her and plucked it out of her hands.
