Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3276201, member: 730"] Last season UConn had 748 assists to Oregon's 717. If you actually watched UConn's offense much over the last 20 years you'd know that the assists are distributed more with UConn. Given that UConn's starting front court had 348 assists to Oregon's 148, the reason for the difference between Dangerfield and Ionescu is clear to anyone with untinted eyes. :) Hebard, Sabally, Boley - 154 assists Samuelson, Collier, Walker - 348 assists Should I assume from those numbers that the Oregon front court can't pass? No, the reason is because the Oregon offense was built around Ionescu while UConn employs a different system where the pg doesn't have the role that she does at Oregon. I assure you that if she had played for CVS at Rutgers Ionescu's assists would have been mediocre. Not only is Rutgers a defensive team, they play a deliberate offense and use the clock so the scores tend to be low (<60/game). And they can't shoot. UConn/Oregon should be an interesting game. I give the edge to UConn based on the 3 hour jet lag. The history of PAC12 teams travelling east during the season is not good. Stanford has played poorly east of the big muddy more often than not. (Maybe they can take the Maples refs with them next time.) :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
