Message: [QUOTE="WestCoast, post: 3382097, member: 10114"] Baylor with three players in the Top 11 and is #2 overall as a team. Mulkey is nodding her head in approval. Oregon"s Moore and Ionescu are #2 and #4, respectively, on the national list. Both get their share of assists on passes for made threes in addition to getting the ball inside to the nearly automatic Hebard. Two recipes for assist success with limited risk of turnover. If I were an Oregon guard looking for more assists, the first place I would look would be to Hebard inside or Hebard on the roll. Hebard's pick and roll action has tormented the PAC-12 her entire career and makes teams have to decide between allowing a midrange jumper for Ionescu or hope that Hebard misses inside the paint. Or go zone for a limited period. Not a lot of favorable options for Oregon's opponents. It will be interesting to see how effectively UConn will be able to defend that pick and roll action on February 3. ONO should be able to bother Hebard's shot. That may be the key to limiting Oregon's effectiveness in the front court. [/QUOTE]
