Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4099095, member: 11281"] What does that even mean? A BB team without guards or bigs? You think a team of 5 guards has a gamblers chance to win an NC? Very long odds indeed.....maybe if they were all 6' to 6'2" athletic guards....but that would make them all borderline bigs. Not even the Wooden UCLA teams of Hazzard and Goodrich were all guards. And DT's last 2 NCs had bigs, though not the best to play at UConn, still bigs to rebound and defend. OK, I'll pick the guards from among the teams in recent drought for UConn, then I might agree with you: Gabby Williams came in as a guard, Katie Lou Samuelson was also a guard coming in, Christyn Williams, Kia Nurse, Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, Caroline Ducharme, Evina Westbrook, Nika Muhl and Saylor Poffenberger. Gabby would have to play the post as in her junior and senior years and the two PGs can play 1, 2 but all the rest can be rotated at 2, 3, 4. All after their sophomore years.....Oh, Megan Walker played guard in HS, too....and, of course, there was Crystal. If that's who I can have, then I agree that there's a gambler's chance to win the NC in the past six years, against anybody. This team can full-court press, they can pass, they can play positionless (unless Crystal is part of the team) and they have at least two lockdown wing defenders. They play in waves to stay fresh while running the other team ragged. [/QUOTE]
