Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2658135, member: 6761"] At halftime, he was praising UConn: he said that as a coach he always put a number on the board, something for his team to reach for. In WCBB that number is generally 82, 83, 84. And that UConn typically exceeds that. I doubt Andy had free wings on his mind--though you never know :-) But what he confirmed is something that Geno has said so many times in so many ways. Although he puts a fantastic amount of time into teaching defense, he always shines to the "scoring lots of points" aspect. He rarely says: that's a great team, because it's a great defense; he often says: that's a great team because they score a lot of points. What he means, I guess, is that in the women's game there are a lot more misses (the top men just don't miss those bunnies), and if you can score a lot of points, you're pressing your opponent to match you and the chances are your opponent just won't.
