Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 4798698, member: 1673"] Two problems with this pov. M. Moore was UConn’s highest volume shooter at about 18 per game for her career. Her senior year we beat ND for the BE championship. Though Moore won tourny MVP, she claimed the freshman Dolson should have won it. In the NCAA tournament Moore alone put UConn on her back, scored 36 points and we lost. One player putting the others on her back is not the UConn way. Auriemma does not recruit for that and they are not trained for that. Not even Taurasi ever put the team on her back like Moore did in that game. It’s not a winning strategy for the UConn system. Second, and to reiterate once again, Clark’s teammates did their part. Clark shot 48% against USC, the rest of the team shot 50%. They also shot better from 3. This was a common theme throughout the year, her teammates always with a higher shooting percentage than Clark. The pressure on Clark made them better of course, but so did being the same starting line up for three years and being good natural shooters. I’m glad this is not the Iowa board because at some point I would think these capable teammates would find this consistent false narrative insulting. Had her teammates shot at the same percentage as Clark against USC they would have lost. Just like UConn would lose if the teammates of Bueckers do not do their part. [/QUOTE]
