Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3910672, member: 7894"] McDonald wasn't really McDonald yet. She was a Fr. that showed some promise but no idea she would blossom into the scoring machine she was at Arizona. Remains to be seen about her, but but so far other than Plum there were no future WNBA players on that team. Oshaor was a rock but she was giving up about 6 or 7 inches on McCowan and for maybe the first time ever couldn't displace someone with her strength, so she was helpless in that matchup. UW was hot and cold, but other than Plum and Osahor there weren't any other dependable players on that roster. I strongly disagree with you, finishing tied for 2nd in a very strong conference and nearly winning 30 games w/ that roster was quite an accomplishment. With a different matchup maybe they could've won their 3rd round game, but I think they pretty well maxed out that season. Overall they were better than the Final 4 team, but didn't catch fire in the post season the same way, and were very much missing a dependable third scorer like they had w/ Talia Walton. [/QUOTE]
