Battle 4 Atlantis Final on ESPN2

UConn did not win against Mississippi State because of two trees: McGowan (6'7") and Okorie (6'5") and front court players no shorter than 6'1". Even guard Vivians is 6'1" The irony is it was the shortest player of their team that took the last shot to beat UConn. But it was the bigs that gave UConn the most trouble scoring, despite the heroics of one Gabby Williams.

My point simply was and still is the use to bigs: whether 1 or 2 in the front court. It has worked for UConn and has worked against UConn.

As to South Carolina not beating UConn for the 2017 NC, Their bigs got them to the title game AND their size matched Miss State's size that beat UConn to win the title. Do you still insist on "so much for bigs?"
I beg to differ. UConn lost that game on a buzzer beater. I don’t agree that that loss can be attributed to the post players alone. As for the value of bigs it is simply silly to contend that they can’t be (in some cases) just as/or more important than guards. Those are questions whose answers can only be determined by who they are, how their team is set up/style of play, and individual performances in big games! Finally, with regard to your last statement/question, that is like saying; if A beats B and B beats C, then A will always beat C. This is patently false. Also there is the inconvenient fact that SC never came close to beating UConn with that lineup in four years. Could they have won? Obviously, but they certainly would not have been favorites to do so!
 
Tell me you don't watch Cardoso without tell me you don't watch Cardoso.

She runs extremely well for a big.
I agree. She is not quick but she does have excellent run the floor speed. However, the few times she has played with Boston on the floor it does not appear to me SC has a plan to utilize them as a twin tower combination.
