Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4097192, member: 5823"] Precisely! Other than Paige the defense did not respect UCONN outside shooting enough last year. Evina and Christyn were far too streaky. This Geno quote summarizes it best. [I] “If she (Dorka) can make a couple of[B] those [/B]on a regular basis,” Auriemma said, “I think that’s a huge help for [B]what we’re trying to do[/B].”[/I] "Those" for Geno are deep shots and it better if it comes from our bigs. The things that UCONN likes to do is spread out the defense so as to create space below the arc for cutters. That takes advantage of the biggest offensive strength of this UCONN team which is the ability to pass the basketball. LIV is among the best passing bigs in the nation. Evina and Paige could easily be among the nations assist leaders if they played on separate teams. The other two projected starters Christyn and Aaliyah are very good passers but probably more important on a team with gifted passers is that they are both terrific finishers-among the nations best at their respective positions.
