Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 3684416, member: 7631"] Crystal's thirst for knowledge is a huge difference-maker. It was really heartwarming to see her off to the sidelines during free throws, talking to Cheryl Reeve or Katie Smith, just as she always talked to Geno in college. I've thought for some time that her heady approach to the game would make her a good pro. And to echo veryolddog, UConn's read-and-react style of play is perfect preparation for the pros. I've noticed that against many teams, the Lynx have switched on every screen. Just as UConn does. Reeve said she was impressed with Crystal's perfectly executed pick-and-roll in their second game surprised her. Well UConn isn't a "pick-and-roll team", but they execute it occasionally in the context of the read-and-react offense. [/QUOTE]
