Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 2456895, member: 343"] Ummm, no. UCONN's best defense is man to man. However it's only best when you have the players to play it. When Stevens and Walker are both out there, they usually have to go to the zone (2-3) because they are not up to the standards of UCONN's man to man. Hence the 4th quarter zone. A zone is tough to do with Dangerfield, because she is easy to shoot over. She's got the quickness, but not the length. Luckily ND's shots were off in the 4th quarter (used up all their makes in the first 3 quarters ;). Actually they are not a very good 3 pt shooting team. e.g. Mabry was only averaging 1 3pt per game....she made 4, go figure??). A couple of years ago they ran a 3-2 (or 1-2-2) zone that worked real well. Mixing man to man and zone is probably the best, as it catches the offense offguard a little. [/QUOTE]
