Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4298044, member: 1131"] A high shooting percentage is no help if you can't clear your defensive boards, and you therefore allow South Carolina to get second and third chances on a lot of their possessions. Having said that, I think UConn should be able to rebound adequately against South Carolina, as they did against Stanford and Tennessee (both reputedly big and skilled rebounding teams). I expect Dorka to be as effective on the defensive boards as Liv was (which for most of the season was quite good, including against Stanford), and I look for a Big Leap Forward from Aaliyah Edwards next year. I think the freshmen will provide reasonable backup if Dorka or AE get into foul trouble, certainly more than Amari and Piath did in the season just concluded. [/QUOTE]
