Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 4097317, member: 6819"] I know I sound like a broken record, but Geno really wants to play 4 or 5 out where each player is a threat to score from the perimeter. That opens up the passing and cutting lanes. Plus it allows him to isolate one on one on the block. With Dorka and three guards he has that. To me one of the best signs I saw against Fort Worth was Evina going 3/4 from the arc. Along with Dorka that really puts the pressure on opposing teams to play up on UConn's shooters and it puts opposing teams forwards in a position they are unaccustomed to playing, high in the quarter court. To me there is no fear in Liv's game. But there is a lot of rote. It's hard to imagine a right hander whose isn't taught a left leg drop step while putting it up with their right hand as their first move at a young age. That seems however not to have been the case with Liv. I'm certain this is something she works on constantly in practice, but once she gets in game she seems to forget all that practice stuff and spins over her right shoulder no matter how the defense is playing her. Against Fort Worth she had at least two occasions where if she'd spun left she had an easy two. To my way of thinking this is force of habit. However, if AE can develop some consistency from the elbow or with Dorka on her wing Liv can pass of the elbow in the triangle or work off the block with 4 out. [/QUOTE]
