HALFTIME: UK 41, Delaware 27, Delle Donne 17
With one half of play under their elastic waistbands, the UK Hoops squad has opened a comfortable lead over Delaware 41-27, using a 16-6 run towards the end of the first half to add some cushion. True to their 40 Minutes of Dread motto, the Cats have turned up the defensive pressure and thoroughly flustered the Blue Hens en route to forcing nine first half turnovers to UD, a team that averages 11.7 turnovers per game on the season. Elena Della Donne is doing her best to carry the Blue Hens, but with all but ten of the team’s points, she’ll need her teammates to step up in the second half. The Cats have also dominated on rebounding, with 13 offensive rebounds in the first half that led to 10 second chance points. Jennifer O’Neill leads the Cats with 13 points so far, and A’dia Mathies has also been solid with nine points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Also, Chris Christie is there.
Tune in for the second half on ESPN.

Gov Christie graduated from Delaware
The women suck as well. They will foul around and lose this game yet.
Our team sure commits a lot of senseless fouls and throw the ball away a lot more than they should be, they also miss a lot of close in shots, layups, etc. Hope it doesn’t come back to bite them.
mike, is that comment Ambiguous on purpose?
Stallworth’s hook is…?
ESPN game’s commenters getting on the offficials. LOL
Mathies= 2k points
This team is good but still farther from elite status than many in the UK media circle would have you believe. Uconn is simply more talented at every position excluding Mathies and she doesn’t have the star power to carry them in the same way that skylar diggins or griner can their teams. Good team good season but theres still miles to travel on that road.
Donne, you got some offense.
Not a fan of neo-con Christie’s politics. He’s establishment all the way, and not interested in enlarging freedom. He’s 100% big government.
Funny how Christie was the darling of the Cons until he worked with and complimented the President of the United States for helping with the disaster. Fake-patriots that want the country to do bad so they can blame the President.
