Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3332982, member: 1131"] Since Geno drew a comparison in his postgame comments to last year's UConn-Temple game in Philadelphia, I went back and watched that game. The announcers mentioned that Lou was in a shooting slump, and in fact she missed her first 5 or 6 attempts from the 3-point line. Beyond that, she couldn't do anything else right either. She got the ball stolen from her several times and threw some bad passes. It got so bad that Geno brought Molly into the game in the second quarter to give her a break. Finally, in the second half, Lou got going. First a fast break layup, then 1 of 2 free throws, and finally she sank a three. She ended up with 10 points, making at most a secondary contribution to UConn's 20-point victory. Napheesa had a 30-point game. Other than that, UConn looked better in yesterday's game than in the game last January. Anna will follow a path similar to Lou's. In fact, they appear to me to be pretty similar kinds of players.
