Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2470603, member: 1220"] That third Pac 12 team would be Oregon St. I actually think they are a better all around team than last year. Last year they were too reliant on Weisner. When she went cold in the playoff they suffered because they were used to her being the focus of the offense. She was 1-11 on three's in their last game against Florida St. The should have won that one but didn't adjust defensively when they had a big lead. One hot player beat them. SC was lucky to beat Florida St in the final- they got some questionable calls at the end of the game to win it. South Carolina had less trouble in the final four than they had in that regional. I have never been a fan of teams who rely too much on one player no matter how good they are. Every player hits a cold streak and then the team has trouble adjusting on the fly. Weisner hit a cold streak starting with the conference championship against Stanford and it continued through the NCAA's. The team this year has plenty of shooters and they move the ball really well to hit the open man. They have only played two top teams but could very easily have won both. I think they are a more solid team than UCLA who has no inside game both offensively and defensively. [/QUOTE]
