Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3393162, member: 1220"] I saw a Baylor team expose the weaknesses that many felt Uconn had right from the beginning of the season. They lack depth at center. Ono gets in foul trouble or has an off game and there is no one to substitute for her. They also rely on too few players to carry the offensive load. They lack depth. That lack of depth showed itself as the team totally ran out of gas in the second half of the fourth quarter. Facing really good teams like Baylor will expose those types of weaknesses that can be hidden against lesser or more favorable matchups. Unfortunately for Uconn, these are the sort of things that even Geno can only mitigate but never totally correct. That said, Uconn did much better offensively than I expected. Baylor did not shut them down offensively until Uconn just ran out of gas. Baylors defense was much better last year with the exception of post defense. Williams just killed them off the ball. She had 8 rebounds in the first half which is just an example of how badly they could not cover her. She was moving just like a free-range chicken on the court. [/QUOTE]
