Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3804355, member: 26"] It sure does tell me something! It tells me that UCONN is a poor 3-point shooting team so pack the defense in the post to try to limit touches there and force UCONN to try to beat you from the outside. And before you go on about how Paige is a great 3 point shooter, she is. And she's the only one. Even Geno said this is the worst shooting team he's had in 30 years, and hyperbole aside, he isn't too far off. And by the way, it's pretty hard to double and triple team a guard out on the perimeter. It's easy if you apply the full court press, or trap the guard either close to the sideline, or if the pick up their dribble just over half court. So I don't get your point that ONO is double and triple teamed as proof of what you are going on about. Side note, I watched Iowa's Caitlin Clark play today against top 25 Northwestern. Clark scored 8 points and fouled out and was never double teamed that I could see unless she picked up her dribble in an awkward spot on the floor. Frankly I'm surprised you are confused - this is one of the most basic ways to beat a team that lacks 3-point prowess. But I'm even more surprised that you keep arguing that Paige is not the best player on the team. Why don't you start a poll "who is the best player on the team" and see how many agree with you that it's ONO? Maybe that would help clarify things for you? Maybe you are confused because you think I'm somehow saying ONO is not important - IMHO she may be the most important position player on the team since she's the only center/forward who starts, but she's nowhere near the best player on the team. That honor goes to Paige. [/QUOTE]
